    How iconic can a chef be?? Sohla is blowing my mind every single time. We're all blessed to share our time on this Earth with her. 'Got random herbs wilting? Wow, throw 'em in there! Got a random half lemon? Woah, crazy! Just a bit of onion? You don't even need to peel!'

Just beautfully browned, crispy skin, incredibly moist white meat and perfectly done dark. I only wish a chicken had a dozen wings.

      @1337billybob Před 2 měsíci

      Plastic is still fine to use but is a bit more energy intensive. If you have a large sink plug it up, put all the chicken contanimated tools in the sink, cutting board, knife, bowls for scraps (I line a ziplock bag in a bowl for skins and bones to make doggy broth and freeze for later). Drizzle them in dish soap, and heat water to a boil enough to submerge the board. If your sink is small do multiple pots of boiling water to pour over. All the chicken bits left on the knife and board will immediatly turn opaque.
      It's an effort but I have never gotten sick from chicken.

    • @Syveril

      Yeah, that was a surprise to me. I have a set of plastic color coded board toppers that I’ve been using, I’ll have to rethink those. Maybe I’ll keep a separate board and wash with vinegar and boiling water immediately after use. Gotta be careful not to contaminate the sink with it. 🤷‍♀️

    I like to get Costco chickens and separate them into breasts, wings, oysters, leg+thigh portions the day I get them - and whatever will not be eaten gets frozen they day it was coked to preserve moisture - I save the carcass, wing tips, and the rendered collagen and fat drippings in the bottom in a bag and freeze that and use it for a quick stock - adding vegetables - more poultry bones if I have some. The frozen chicken placed in sous vide @ 160 tastes just as it did the day it was cooked - but if you try to munch n it for days and freeze the left overs, it's trash because too much moisture has evaporated. I always get a couple of chickens, pull out the wish bone, separate everything out for freezing, then have meat for random nachos, soup, etc - for when I don't have the time to do a whole chicken (I loooove spending hours cooking but sometimes just need cooked protein that is ready by the time I finish prepping the vegetation). I'm up late cooking right now and it's too late to start the bread dough so I'll get to it in the morning. ^^

    27:11 Yes, preach. I never throw out spices, I just think of recipes to use older ones up.

      When my mom passed, my husband cleaned out her spice cabinet, and there were spices *in their original containers* from 1973! 😂
