📼Video Summary:
Krispy Kreme is famous for its donut machine. You can watch the machine from behind a glass wall inside the store. The first Krispy Kreme store was in 1937. In the 1950s they used the Krispy Automatic Ring-King Junior to make the donuts. The machine today is a lot bigger and can churn out over 3000 donuts per hour! The machine has several main parts: mixer, extruder, proofer, fryer, glaze waterfall, retail curve, and cooling tunnel. The machine can be modified to make different types of donuts; some of them are dipped by hand into colored icing. Experienced workers need to monitor the machine at each step of the way. Just in case, they also have the emergency stop button.

For those that use Blender (3d software) - there are a couple of hidden surprises in this video. Did you find them?😁
Hello!! 👋
there’s a blender logo shaped donut at 1:21
Can you show how to look at someone's blender @JaredOwen ?
Blender logo donut 🍩😂❤️❤️
Maybe also the employee of the month 😂
The animator: finally that donut blender tutorial we all watch at the beginning comes to good use.
Oh yea...however, these donuts were made a little different from the way Andrew price made them
Yes i serach for days now
@@JaredOwenhow did you make these donuts?
I making donut with my hand without machine but it not like donuts
Haha
2:42 "this tiny machine could churn out 720 donuts per hour." That's 12 donuts a minute, which is a donut every 5 seconds, and when you watch the animation, one donut comes out every five seconds. The attention to detail is crazy!
It took me a few moments to realise but you are right
You know what's interesting - we looked at the reference video and mostly just "eyeballed it" - so I'm glad this came out correct! Thanks for your kind words
@@JaredOwen Don't say that. You should have just said: "Well noticed, it was exactly my intention." You are a KZheadr, so you are not supposed to have integrity.
@@bobthegoat7090well, he’s not a KZheadr if he has integrity so I guess he’s not a KZheadr, just some loser who makes videos 😎
@@JaredOwen Well, I think that will make it in hour.
1:21 haha nice easter Egg there. Blender Logo as a Donut. Classic
I couldn't resist putting that in there😂
I was about to ask how the Blender Logo donuts are made 😄
@@georgewilliams6498 lolwutdbeicksalanswwkskoughggdjwmsaugghaaaaghfdkeksjsgoohdjfjs oof
If Krispy Kreme have those donuts, Ill instantly buy it
4:12 I had no idea that they contributed to Blender itself: “Contribution Process If you have found an area in Blender you want to improve on and it's a non-trivial change, check in advance if Blender developers agree with the project and design. This helps avoid doing work for nothing, in case the feature should have a different design, is already under development, or is not desired functionality. The chat and forums are good places to get feedback about this. To talk to the individual owners of the relevant code, see the list of modules and their owners. Once you have written the code, see the contributing code section on how to make a pull request get it submitted, reviewed and included.”
this banger dropped the same day Mcdonald’s says they partnered with Krispy Cream
I literally JUST read the news release. I couldn't have planned this better
This is just so they don't have to pay employees 20$ an hour in California :( stores with a bakery are exempt from this rule
@@AbelPinalesdamn
@@AbelPinales That's crazy! Is that actually a rule?
@@AbelPinales Because that's what happens when states mandate big wage increases. The corporations get around it while the small businesses can't afford to pay their employees so they either cut their staff or go out of business.
i appreciate the glazing waterfall fluid simulation.
Probably my favorite part!
@@JaredOwenMine too!
@@JaredOwen very satisfying :p
Yeah, same, great fluid physics there.
the glazing is crazy
1:24 the little trucks driving away is cute for some reason
Also on cute, tho the reason is clear; 2:18 That is the cutest name imaginable for an automatic donut machine, and it legit made me audibly Awwwww when i heard it xD The Krispy Automatic Ring-King Jr is the goodest of boys
Did you… just call a donut machine cute?
@@Mr_Shipy The person above called the trucks cute; i called the Krispy Automatic Ring-King Jr cute, bcuz it is
I'm fond of their softness. No other brand can create such airy donuts. Making them yourself is almost impossible!
Now figure out how Fazoli's gets their breadsticks so soft! I swear they're like Krispy Garlic....
Krispy Kreme is a one of a king with them doughnuts
As a donut lover, I've never been happier to see a video recommendation.
Thank you Wil!
@@JaredOwen Love your work haha
What are the odds of thinking "I wonder how they make the donuts" then getting this video about 6 seconds later
KZhead is good at making those recommendations😀 Thanks for watching
@@JaredOwenI doubt that recommendations had a part in it since I got notified of this video from my subscribed channel feed Anyway hope your week is going well
Your cell phone is spying on you...
@@paulstafThey do that anyway. Your cellphone knows you better than anybody
We're coming full circle guys
Employee of the month is here!
we need a combination video with his machine, and all those donuts you've collected from the community that you had to spend over a month to sift through, coming down the line
LOL
8:09 THE GLAZING IS CRAZY
😆
back again at the Krispy Kreme
Nice
Back at it again at Krispy Kreme.
yes sir! I may have had a few too many donuts these last few weeks😮
@@JaredOwen I was expecting a Company Man reference at 2:05! Very nice job Jared! kzhead.info/sun/atKCntSemZGJoHk/bejne.html
Man this added multi language is so good
Thank you klein!
Ist that AI Voice?
How did he do that? AI? Most of them sound like the same guy
It's a KZhead provided function so every video will sound the same
@@img8724 nah that his voice I watched his channel trailer before
the blender logo donut looks really good
Blender donuts are always tasty😀
YES
7:42 - "The doughnuts have now been fried and are soaked in a solution of liquid calories." - Huggbees
The Blender donut easter egg in the video is just hilarious. You might send a DM to Krispy Kreme to add a Blender Donut.
That would be awesome if they added it😀 I figured blender deserved a little bit of love in this video
1:18 BLENDER DONUTS! :D
You found it😀
I hope those sprinklers dont contain water. As anyone who had chemistry in school knows, the resulting explosion of the oil bath would be great to watch only from considerable distance.
This is so well-made. Even the attention to small details, like donuts looking different before proofing, is there.
Thank you! I really like to dive deep into animations like this so both you and I can see the full scope of the machinery/structure used!
1:18 I love those little Blender logo donuts near the bottom right!
You found them! Nice!
The fire suppression system you showed looks like it's dumping water into hot oil??
4 It won't actually dump water.It'll dump fire extinguisher fluid most likely
@@emilyelizabethbuchanan998 I'm certain that in reality it's not water, I was commenting with the hope that Jared or someone else knew detailed about exact what it uses cause I was curious
Yeah water would make the fire worse. CO2 or some gas like Halon. I just read a report about an actual fire where this system was used, and it said it kept the fire "contained" until people got there (it was at night, somebody left the heating elements on).
Good question! This is NOT water and I should have made that more clear. Some sort of chemical mixture to put out the fire
I don't know exactly what chemical is used, and it varies per location, but it is usually a dry chemical which produces a ton of C02 when heated. The mechanism that triggers it is literally (usually) just 2 pieces of metal glued together with a heat-sensitive adhesive, then put under spring tension. Enough heat melts the glue, the spring pulls the wire and it dumps the dry chem on the fire. Again I don't know for sure 100% this stuff, but I work in kitchen exhaust cleaning so I interact with this stuff every day.
Most Krispy stores have their machines set up so you can watch the whole process, start to finish. It's neat. Especially when you manage to buy the doughnut you watched being made, fresh off the belt.
It's really satisfying kind of like going to a Japanese Steakhouse and watching your food be made in front of you - it also helps immensely with wait times because you can see your food being made right in front of you!
I remember as a kid how excited my brothers and I would get when we pulled into Krispy Kreme and the Hot Donuts Now sign was on. To this day I haven’t met anyone who doesn’t agree when it comes to hot Krispy Kreme donuts off the line, they just melt in your mouth like nothing you’ve ever had before, it’s definitely a treat like no other.
I agree! I've definitely had a few donuts over the past few weeks
Tim Hawkins nailed it: “It’s like eating a baby angel!”
They ought to have this playing on a TV outside their donut machines.
Haha that would be the perfect advertising for them
I loved the fast forward animation at 6:05 !!
Thank you!
Ooh! the Blender shaped donuts at "10:09"! Nice one!😀
Yup!
9:42 omg, there’s a donut blender logo!
You found it!
@@JaredOwen I want that to be a real donut. It’s polygons look soo yummy 🤤
this is just for Homer Simpson
So Krispy Kreme only make a fraction of the amount of donuts that new blender users make each year 😂
One of the things I love most about your videos, as soon as I think to myself “oh but what about that other thing?” you explain that part next. So brilliant.
Thank you!
Weirdly we have several locations in Minnesota 20 years ago. They were incredibly popular, the line at the Maple Grove location was long the months they first opened. Now all the stores are gone.
I remember waiting in that long line as a kid. Was kind of sad to see no dots appear here during the video. I was ready to do a mini road trip to get some hot krispy kremes.
Great job Jared! I'm impressed with the realism, like the waterfall and the way the donuts are lined up a little imperfectly I also love how thorough this is! With a little history and explaining the different shapes and toppings
Thank you! I try to give as much detail as possible to hit all avenues of information so I appreciate that!
I love that your the Employee of the Month at 9:26 Great job on the video!
Thank you David! :D
I appreciate the level of detail in this animation, including the grill and glaze that collects on the rods. This presentation has me think about the many challenges that needed to be solved, as well as the need for trained people who make sure the process works and we get a plethora of varieties of doughnuts. Well done! You earned my subscription to your channel.
Great work, as always! Been following for years. Keeps getting better.
8:25 yum
I'm baked AF watching this and it's checking all my boxes.
Too bad I quit smoking last week I would be in route to Krispy Kreme now
Thanks for the video. I love blender I'm using it right now to make my house interior and exterior every detail from scratch.
this is one of those videos where I didn't ask for but never knew I needed, this was such an interesting video!
0:59 there is almost 20 Krispy Kreme stores in Kuwait but the map doesn’t show Kuwait have any
Ok but like 20 Krispy Kreme stores in a place as small as Kuwait sounds like a population addicted to doughnuts
Sorry for missing your country! I tried to hit most of them but there's a lot of them now and they keep expanding
@@bananamontana1136 tow out of three people in Kuwait are overweight 🙂
@@JaredOwen its alright mate. Great video btw, incredible as always
krispy kreme has the best donuts in Kuwait!!!!!!
I've found an inaccuracy, the filled donuts never have even distribution on the inside lmao 10:40
This is one of the best videos I have seen in a long time. You did an amazing job! I love Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and have wondered how they are made. Even though I've seen their machine in operation, I was not able to see behind the proofer and always wondered how the batter was poured.
One of the most quality videos on youtube I've ever seen, thank you!!!
back again at the jared owen binging streak
I appreciate that😀
Its a goooooooooood day when Mr Jared Owen uploaded a video
Thank you for watching!
you’re such a talented animator. i love watching your videos and learning how things work.
Thanks for the video Jared! Gave me something to watch while snacking. Now I want donuts!
7:58 don't worry, i got a guy
Blender Guru Reference.
Yup!
The fact that Jared did the time lapse part during the proofer is awesome. Great video!
Ay man another banger video! Love to see it, always brightens my day to see that you posted a new one ❤
Like this comment if you are a police officer watching this video.
Really great video, as always. I would love to see you do one about the Linotype machine!
I watched this video last week and I’ve been craving donuts ever since. Finally gave in and stopped in on my way to work. You definitely just helped Krispy Kreme sell some donuts 😅
hey jared been watching your videos for awhile i love seeing how things work keep up the good work 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! I appreciate all the support
I'll be subscribed now that I've seen this video. I have to admit I was impressed with the amount of work you had to of done to do this video with animation etc.
Your animation is so freaking awesome. So well done. Amazing skills.
The fact that all the doughnuts are pushed up by the wave from the next set of doughnuts landing in the pool is an attention to detail that I have never seen anywhere outside of real life itself. HOLY CANOLI
I get super excited when I see your new video. Thank you for all the extremely detailed content that has been put in a lot of effort. 💙
Of course! I'm glad you enjoy my content!
Jared, thank you for these amazing videos. But, most of all, thank you for your simple voc & clear speech..!
Ive seen this machine in action many times. I used to do electrical service calls at a krispy kreme in the 90s, really neat
I didn't have a Krispy creme in my town very long, but I loved to watch them get made as a kid, I'd always get them to take a donut off the line before it was glazed
This was and still is my favorite donut shop ever
Please keep up the excellent quality render, videos and explanations ❤ Love to learn lots of new stuff!
Absolutely will! Thank you Jocho!
Your animations have really improved over the years I have watching your videos.
I used to work in a place that made donuts like this on a much larger scale, and I must say this video is spot on, great job!
Seeing the conveyer belt when I was a kid, that was the best part of going to one of their stores. Seeing the whole process animated is awesome to see!
Fascinating! Love their cream doughnuts!
Jared Fantastic video with the animation showing each step of the process !! I have 2 "factory" Krispy Kreme stores in my area and they are the best. It's always nice to drive by and see the HOT sign on which is time to load up on fresh hot donuts. Krispy Kreme donuts really are the best and the glazed melt in your mouth.
I’m not sure why I find these videos so fascinating, since I’m not mechanically minded and never thought I was all that interested in how things work. But somehow the excellent animations and clear explanations keep me watching to the end, and I always learn something. I hope you do videos someday on electric fans, air conditioners, refrigerators… and many other topics!
haven't watched you for a while... now I came back with this new animation and it is great!
in 1962, my Boy Scout troop made a deal with KK in which they would send a truck to our location early Saturday morning with MANY dozens of fresh donuts which the Scouts would pick up and deliver door-to-door to customers they had taken orders from the night before. (After the first solicitation, customers said, "Standing order; just bring 'em.") A dozen donuts cost 50 cents. KK split the income with us 50/50. This Fall fund raiser sent MANY Scouts to week-long summer camp year after year. Thanks KK. You're the best ... and so are your donuts.
This is fascinating channel!! Have you ever done a behind the scenes? That would be incredible to see an idea go from start, scrpiting, planning, creating the content, animating, and the thought process that goes into what POV is picked. If nothing else, it world be a great STEM piece to inspire others. I love this video. Thank you!!
This might be my favorite video you’ve made so far, it was so cool just seeing how the whole process works, keep grinding!
Thank you and absolutely! I also really enjoyed learning about the machines myself while creating this video
This video just gave me a craving for donuts, haha! Excellent animation work as always!
I love these types of videos exploring the mechanics of machines.
Me too as you can see
you are one of the first youtubers ive watched, to the point that i had to resubscribe to you (i mostly ignored subscribing when i was young for some reason). love this video :)
Awesome animation!! It really shows that you had some fun with this one. Also nice Blender Donut in the display case.
I'm just impressed by the cg glaze waterfall lol, love your content!
I'm genuinely impressed by the level of precision and efficiency of Krispy Kreme's donut machine! From mixing the ingredients to frying and cooling, every step seems to be perfectly orchestrated. It's no wonder they can produce thousands of donuts per hour. This video was both informative and mesmerizing
Thanks for watching!
I'm virtually drooling at the sight of virtual donuts.
I freaking love these machines
I loved watching the donuts being made as a kid! You could watch through the window.
This is a very good demonstration through which the complete process of making a donut can be understood without visiting a bakery.
100% Grade A work Jared! Congratulations.
“Krispy Kreme is making new donuts.” -Ralsei I think
A fitting topic for an intricate blender animation.
I love the idea of showing how global chain stores make their food! Many people don’t actually know how their fast food is actually made, I work at a In n Out and it would actually be a quite interesting video on how our food is prepared and the equipment we use in the store. Great work love your videos!
As a British person who has dined at In 'n' Out in the past, I have to say I'm very surprised that the chain hasn't expanded into the UK market yet. Make the burgers Halal and provide vegan burgers for the vegetarians, I think the business would prove _hugely_ popular here. 🍔💨👍 Of course; In the UK market, that _In 'n' Out_ logo would need a circle of yellow stars around that bend in the arrow... 🇬🇧💨🇪🇺😉
Thanks, Jared, for making this video! Very informative, concise and easily understandable, plus, you have a very nice voice to narrate. : )
Thank you I really appreciate that!
Like all your animations this one was great, thank you!
8:10 now THAT is glazing
@JaredOwen 11:45 You cannot put out oil fires with water. That will cause the oil level to rise and spill over, causing the rest of the kitchen to be on fire. Instead, they use a chemical foam that cuts off the oxygen supply to the fire, effectively smothering it. For oil fires, a Class K fire extinguisher (United States) or a Class F extinguisher (Europe) is designed specifically for cooking oils and fats. Another thing that they use is a fire blanket. A fire blanket works by smothering the fire, cutting off the oxygen supply that the fire needs to continue burning.
I love how in this chanel you can never guess what the next video is gonna be about! Do you plan eventually to make a video about boring machines (like the ones that dug the Channel tunnel)?
Potentially! I mostly focus on the machines and structures I'm curious about at the moment and if I can't find enough information about them on the internet, I just make them myself!
What an excellent automation!
Hey owen you give me a lot of knowledge and know how tings work since I was 8 year old keep it up
Great presentation, Jared. Good thing I came home with some donuts.
All I can say is that free donut you get while standing in line is one of the best experiences you'll ever have while standing in a line.
I work in industrial automation. Ive never seen machine animation of this quality. This makes me want to step up my documentation game.
A KK donut right off the line is a sublime treat.
