How this comparison works

Every version here was saved from the creator's own public video and turned into a structured recipe card. The comparison reads only those cards: ingredients, steps, times and servings. We haven't cooked these side by side or ranked them on taste.

Reposts and the same video saved twice count once. Times and servings come from each recipe card; short videos don't always state them, so treat them as a guide. Every version links to the creator's original video.
