Instant Pot Chili, and a Thanksgiving pizza in October, from The Stay At Home Chef

Three shorts went up, from a restaurant-style wonton soup to a pizza built on holiday leftovers nearly two months before the holiday.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

The Stay At Home Chef put up three short recipes in seven days, and they read like a walk through the colder months: a wonton soup on September 27, an Instant Pot chili two days later, and on October 1 a pizza made from Thanksgiving leftovers.

The chili is the one people came for. It passed about 5,000 views on its first day and keeps drawing the most daily traffic on the channel. Its comment section is less about chili than about the pot itself. Several viewers admit they bought or were given an Instant Pot years ago and never took it out of the box, and they thank the channel for finally walking them through it. One plans to make the recipe on the stovetop instead.

The Thanksgiving pizza is the curious one. The description pitches it as a way to use up the turkey and trimmings, which nobody has yet in early October, but it is already pulling in nearly as many views a day as the chili. Maybe some cooks like to plan their leftovers early? The wonton soup, billed as restaurant quality with homemade wontons, has settled into a gentler pace.

Across the channel, daily views sit close to their usual level. Among cooking channels of a similar size, NYT Cooking is running well above its normal pace. Early American and ChefSteps are steady, much like this kitchen.
