I heard about roasted marshmallows and always thought, you ate it whole...

u/thegrenadillagoblin 6d ago

You do! I think the video is just showing the differences between how much the center softens based on how much they toast the outside

u/RunZombieBabe 6d ago

Ahhh, thank you, I really thought peeling them like bananas was part of the whole thing!

I peel them, eat the peel, and then re-roast the remains 😀

u/Dwoli94 6d ago

This is the way.

u/watch-me-bloom 6d ago

Same 😂

u/Basic-Introductions 6d ago

Yep, peel them then roast them again

My favorite when I was a kid!

The peel is the best for s'mores

u/cheetahwhisperer 5d ago

This is the only way, right?

u/ChiefsnRoyals 5d ago

This method is only method.

u/Sensitive-Living-571 5d ago

Me too. Irs the only way I like them. I light them on fire, bliw it out, peel, eat, and repeat

u/thegrenadillagoblin 6d ago

Of course! Some people may eat them like that and re-toast the exposed middle but there's no rules here, just yummy toasted marshmallows and s'mores 🤗

u/MuffinMan12347 5d ago

No real hard rule on this. Some people eat it with the skin on, off, eat the skin and retoast. The world is your marshmallow!

I didn’t see anything get peeled either, highly dissapointed

u/making_sammiches 6d ago

It can be! As kids we would try to see how many toasted layers we could peel off one marshmallow.

It was interesting how the burned ones had a more solid core. Probably because it was put directly in the flames and cooked quickly, not allowing the middle to melt. I had guessed the center would get smaller each time.

u/pfifltrigg 6d ago

Exactly. It's possible to slowly roast it and then shove it in the flames and burn it but I guess the original video creator didn't want to, or thought it was a waste. Usually burnt marshmallows are made by people with either less marshmallow roasting experience, or who are too impatient to roast it longer, or too impatient to wait until the red hot coals are exposed. Or people who just prefer them that way, which is fine as well.

I like it a bit singed, so around #5, but you have to start low and slow to get it molten all the way through.

1

u/pyrodude1000c 6d ago

4 bordering 5 is my idea of perfection

1

u/RoboticBirdLaw 6d ago

For the exterior, mine is right at 4. I would just let it heat a little bit longer at lower temps/flame to melt through more to the center.

1

u/pyrodude1000c 5d ago

I aim to slowly roat it to 4 but if it gets to 5 thats still within my range of perfect cys there aint anything i can do to make it better but eat that skin and roast the layre below, i try get 3 or 4 skins from a mallow

u/MidLifeEducation 5d ago

I'm one of the impatient people

1

u/MmmmSloppySteaks 6d ago

you are correct. You can get a fully molten marshmallow that looks like a 2-3 if you want. Just takes a lot longer (like three minutes instead of one)

1

u/MisterRogers88 6d ago

I feel like there is a lot of variance in grip strength, though. For some, it feels like the person is grasping a little more firmly or loosely, and so the results are not wholly accurate.

2

u/Sunscorcher 6d ago

It's definitely showing the difference between how much the center softens based on how much the outside is toasted when you've done it wrong.

2

u/Mundane-Research 5d ago

I definitely eat them like this (but mouth not fingers) and then retoast the inner part...

1

u/oyisagoodboy 6d ago

I don't agree. If you rotate right and keep far enough from the flame. You can get an almost completely melted middle with golden outside.

1

u/elementfx2000 6d ago

The softness of the core is all about time. These were all roasted too quickly.

1

u/AwesomeAni 6d ago

I don't. I lightly toast, peel, eat, toast again. I repeat.

1

u/The_Shryk 5d ago

Unfortunately they weren’t cooked the same way.

The more toasted ones were just held to the fire so they didn’t even get that warm inside. Like broiling a frozen chicken.

1

u/fungi_at_parties 5d ago

I don’t. I eat it layer by layer, cooking between.

1

u/Seienchin88 5d ago

But where the f*** is the difference… looked all the same

1

u/BigPoppaSnow 5d ago

But if they toasted it properly the entire inside would be goo. They are roasting it top towards the flame Instead of side toward the flame. And they are burning the marshmallow over the fire instead of roasting it over the coals.

u/lostknight0727 3d ago

YOU DO! I do this as shown, eat it, then roast the inside part again.
