This is one of the better cooking channels on YouTube, period. Weissman manages to be educational without being condescending, entertaining without being obnoxious, and inspiring without making cooking feel impossible.
The 'But Better' series is legitimately clever—it teaches kids to think critically about food, understand ingredients, and build real skills. Unlike some cooking content that's just food porn, this actually empowers viewers to cook.
The main consideration is that it's YouTube, which means you're always one autoplay away from who-knows-what. Use it intentionally: watch specific videos together, pick a recipe to try as a family project, or let older kids browse for inspiration with guardrails in place. The content itself is solid; the platform requires the usual caution.
If your kid shows interest, this could genuinely spark a lifelong skill and hobby. Just make sure you're ready to supervise some ambitious kitchen experiments.
