How to make dinner 10X easier

What did you think?

Sonny Hurrell puts deciding what to cook at the center of "How to make dinner 10X easier." His viewers have another candidate for dinner's hardest task: cleaning up afterward.

The week's sole upload is a paid promotion for Hungryroot, rather than a standalone recipe lesson. Sonny demonstrates the meal-selection process before cooking teriyaki short rib with bell peppers and lemongrass chicken with broccoli. The Short has reached roughly 11,000 views. In the comments, the conversation turns toward dishes, with one viewer making the case for cleaning as you go and another jokingly requesting a robot to handle it.

Elsewhere, the channel's recipe catalog is doing more of the work. "Sorry Grill Guys, Pan-Fried Steak Wins" is its busiest video right now, approaching 1.8 million views. "This Chicken Thigh hack is a must try" and "I Found a Better Way to Roast Brussels Sprouts" are also among the uploads drawing the most daily attention.

Subscribers were unchanged over the week, while the current daily view rate is well below Sonny's usual level. It's a subdued patch shared by nearby cooking channel Ethan Chlebowski; James Hoffmann's daily viewing is closer to his usual pace. For Sonny, the week's contrast is practical: a new shortcut around planning dinner, and an older catalog built around cooking it yourself.

What viewers say

I'd argue the hardest part of dinner is cleaning up afterwards. Most people who say "I don't like cooking" probably just don't like cleaning up, doing it as you go is so much easier
