Jennifer Garner obviously gives us plenty of internet gems via her "Pretend Cooking Show" on Instagram, but the actress recently got even more loveable as she suffered her way through the Hot Ones challenge. And don't worry, true to form, she still gave a shoutout to her (and our!) beloved Ina Garten along the way.
The Instagram cooking star appeared on FirstWeFeast's Hot Ones show and there are way too many gems to choose from, so you'll just have to watch the whole thing. Of course, we're suckers for all things cooking, so we're very into her sharing her favorite baking hacks, such as warming up eggs for baking by putting them in a bowl of warm water, and shredding butter with a cheese grater as a hack to skip the softening process. Of course, all of this was said in the middle of the challenge and she paced around her room and wiped her lips with a rag. "I just wish I could hug your neck with my hand," she joked to host Sean Evans at one point.
Of course, right after she suffered through sharing her kitchen hacks, Sean softened the blow by asking her about Ina and how it felt to get her "cosign." But Jenn wasn't done giving him a hard time. "She would never do this to me, Sean! Ina would be appalled at this behavior...actually she wouldn't. She would find it funny," she said. "The fact that Ina Garten whom I revere, and who taught all of us to cook, the whole world...when I'm doing the Pretend Cooking Show, it's an homage, obviously to Ina. It's just more than I can handle."
Jen followed up by sharing her food TV "Mount Rushmore," or her all-time favorite shows. Obviously, Ina was first with her show Barefoot Contessa, followed by Martha Stewart. She also showed love for Giada De Laurentiis, Bobby Flay, and Julia Child. Although she said she loves "them all," she stopped naming names there and simply put her napkin over her head and sighed in pain.
