- We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Negeen, home cook Heather, and professional chef Saul Montiel from Cantina Rooftop - to prepare us their best stuffed peppers recipe. Once each level of chef had presented their creation, we asked food scientist Rose to explain their choices from an expert's perspective. Which pepper would you pick to please your palate with?

4 Levels of Stuffed Peppers: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious - Jak na to + styl
"hey, I'm Nageen and I'm a level 1 chef"
"I'm Heather, I'm a level 2 chef"
"Hi, I'm here alone in my kitchen"
Gotta love Saul!!
*Better Call
the cell phone shape XD. 10/10
He is a huge vibe tbh
Agreed
he's def the best level 3 chef from epicurious
That's actually an interesting approach: it's more one dish from three different cultures rather than different levels.
While I agree with you on the culture thing, Chiles en Nogada are quite technical (as in no newbie should attempt to make them). There is a difference in complexity as well.
Yeah, as a balkan guy ive never seen anyone make stuffed peppers in any of these ways
We have our way of making stuffed peppers in Czechia aswell.
@@nikbow3353 Wtf are you talking about? In Serbia we make stuffed peppers mostly the same way as the Iranian girl did (for example, like this: czcams.com/video/dq3s9HyafE8/video.html ). We also have a variant like the Chiles en Nogada, but I've seen that only stuffed with cheese (will try the Mexican version, sounds quite interesting). Here's a video of that as well: czcams.com/video/zCxXcJoEitw/video.html
I'd go so far as to say they are completely different dishes. I'm familiar with the Mediterranean way the "amatuer" made. That's how they make them in Greece and Turkey as well as the Balkans. Not to say I don't think they're lovely but the other methods are not what I think of when I think of stuffed peppers. Certainly you would not use pork in the eastern Mediterranean or North African regions.
Chef Saul: does it make sense to you No?? Well it makes sense to me
I get what he means.. we do the same thing to eggplants when we're making Baba Ghanouge
Hes so funny 😂
Chef Saul is awesome
Let’s not forget the statement right before that. What are we going to do with this beautiful poblano pepper? “We’re going to burn the crap out of it” lol
-Saul 2020
When there’s a Mexican dish to cook
YOU KNOW SAUL WILL BE THERE

Better call Saul!
@@radosawzygowski5444 😂👌
Ps obvio, el compadre saul
Comparing Sauls first video to now he seems way more comfortable being on camera and having a good time. I love that for him
And he is not that much afraid of his mom seeing him cook:)
“Hello I’m here alone in my kitchen” -Me, when I’m craving a late night snack 🤣
@HUNGRYFoodie that’s sooo true 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻
"A little bit for the blender, and a little bit for me"
Y'all I love Saul so much
"It's my life, I do what I want!"
That level 1 is the most advanced level 1 I’ve seen yet.
That’s because she’s a persian level one 😂
@@arionna22 true🤣
The same cannot be said for her tattoo artist.
Yeah and as a Persian this is the right way
Yeah, we've got two level 2 chefs this time. I'm cool with that.
"We're going to burn the crap out of it"
Cannot stop laughing
Is it just me or was there literally no difference between the level 1 and 2 chef? They just made different dishes? It's not like the Level 1 took any shortcuts or anything like that. She seemed like a perfectly good cook to me...
I think level two used more complicated ingredients and experimented with flavor a little more. Level one is a pretty simple recipe
Level 1 was basically just a normal stuffed pepper. Level 2 made it fancy by using seafood and nicer garnishes/presentation.
Yeah, I noticed it too. Level 1 used to be someone clueless and real fun to watch. Now they learned or are preparing better for it. I was very impressed on using lamb and basil, beginner woldn't think of that.
I could see a difference in technique, especially cutting. And she also seemed less experienced and confident, as if she was just following a recipe pretty closely.
Over time and with some practice she’ll be level 2 for sure though
I also felt that. The "Level 1" chef is experienced and confident. The "Level 2" is more experienced but her cooking lacked that special thing that turns a Tasty Dish into a Heather's Tasty Dish. I would say that both or them are "Level 1.5"
member when level 1s were people put ketchup and whole cheesecakes on all their dishes? pepperidge farm remembers.
Was thinking about that. Now I consider myself a zero level chef. 0,5 chef tops.
Cheesecake pancakes... just saying. xD
love how saul introduces the vegetables like he caught a pokemon
Saul: I use this pepper because it is cell phone shaped.
Me: I mean, you can't argue with that.
Lol
I died when he said that
“Butter because butter... just butter”
Me: Yes
Yes
Fair point tho
According to Sual his mom is a level 10 chef
*SAUL*
Sual
And his abuela is level 1000000
🤣
And his bisabuela invented mexican cuisine
When you need a level three chef, you Better Call Saul
This! ️👆
Nice
Underrated comment
I miss the old one too
Yes cause frank left epicurious
Saul has been in a lot of these recently. Saul is the new Frank. I'm cool with it.
Saul’s confidence and personality has shown even more since his first appearance and I love it 🥺
It's kind of interesting seeing people cook in their houses, and not at your place.
I feel like the cooks are more open and personal, and allow their personalities through as well! I think they're probably a lot more comfortable in their own surroundings using their own utensils/tools etc.
saul ALWAYS looks happy and proud of his dishes and that's inspiring!!
🇲🇽
@@frisco9568 YES
I want Lorenzo and Saul to do the $100 meal swap
WE NEED THIS!
YES! THEY DEFINITELY SHOULD DO IT SOMEDAY💕💕
Lorenzo and King should do a meal swap. King looks like the evolved version of Lorenzo if they were Pokemons.
I like the way U think
YES PLEASE
1:54 "so important to get prevent for burning, you have to keep turning,
So when we cook it, and we want to burn it,
But we wanna make sure doesn't taste burned"
Wait I didn't know Chef Saul can rap
Level 1 is too qualified to be level 1
Finally someone saying this, she is also too bland for level one chef.
Did not use cheesecake. Proceed straight to level 2, please.
Except for the knife skills I agree, lol
She's a real level 1 before Emily and the cheesecake guy all the level 1s were like this.
Me: How do you make a dish delicious?
Chef Saul: FRY IT
Yes!
IS HE WRONG??? 🤣 love Saul
Make sure you burn it. But don't make it burnt, obviously
Hes right tho
All the best stuff is born in the frying pan
I love that Saul has Valentina and Tajin in his kitchen like a good mexican
If I had an opportunity to eat from any of the chefs on Epicurious, I'd choose Saul.
Saul or king
Same.
So if you ever need a Level 3 Chef that pretty much knows a whole lot about Mexican culture and cuisine... Better Call Saul!
Seeing Saul pop up just makes me feel like everything will be ok
It’s Saul food.
It warms the heart and soothes the Saul
put this on Saul's merch
made with heart and Saul
better call saul !
This is underrrated comment
I bet Frank is out there somewhere collecting Infinity Stones to create a new universe.
I think so too 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😀
Nah he is watering his pepper plants
He's tending to his pickled vegetables collection
Chef Saul needs his own show! He's SO entertaining!
"A little bit for the blender, a little bit for me" this man is a legend 😂
0:10 Ok, as soon as he said "I'm here alone in my kitchen" with that tone and accent, I knew he was going to be funny xD
OMG I need Stephen, Julie and Saul in my life to cook!
They are the new trifecta!
Ah, Saúl. A true Mexican man of culture. A Chile en nogada, one of my definite favorites!
Level 1 & 2 - I'm going to cut my bell pepper.
Level 3 - First, I'm gonna burn the crap out of it!
I love Saul.
CZcams really getting comfortable with these double unskippable ads.
Adblock+ is your friend, if you're on PC.
Consider CZcams Premium, you're going to pay it either way (watching add or directly paying), you never see an add again (I was reminded by you just now), downloading in wi-fi to watch later is also nice.
Also CZcams Vanced if you're on your phone. You shouldn't have to pay to block adverts hogging your time or data.
I hate the ones that are 10 or 15 minutes.
I close the video and open it again, the ads disappear
I want to try all dishes. But if I was a culinary student, I want Saul as my instructor!!! Also when at the store, remember to ask produce where the cell phone peppers are 😅🤣😂 Saul is awesome!!
I freaking love Chef Saul. Sigue compartiendo la cultura, hermano! ✊🏼
No one:
Everyone who gets tongs: *claps it before use.*
That's the proper way to use them
"what we gonna do with this beautiful pepper, is the burn the crap out of it". this guy is so entertaining to watch.
Yeah
Saúl
You already know you'll have a good time watching this when Saúl is in the preview
“We are going to burn the crap out of it” 💀
"We want some nice coloring here"
Nice coloring: charcoal black
The process is called "tatemar", and it basically is gettting any vegetable. With skin over the fire/charcoal/ember/etc and let only the skin burn, when it burns, it makes it not only easier to remove the skin but it also pre-cooks the flesh of your vegetable, making it. Easier to either stuff it, sautte it or making it into a molcajete sauce
@@isrockcarmona6837 Thanks for the information!
@@isrockcarmona6837 I didn't know that it did that, I thought it just made it taste good.
Really interesting seeing three different cuisines' take on stuffed peppers. I feel like Saul really can't lead us wrong, everything he makes looks incredible.
Chef Saul's low-key humor is such a favorite
12:50
Negeen: Mmmm!
Heather: Oh yeah! This is good stuff!
Saul:
I love SAUL!!!! XD
"If I had to change something in this dish, it would be..... Nothing! Nada!" Chef Saul is wonderful!
Saúl made making a Chile en nogada look SO easy with his attitude, when in reality it’s one of the most complex dishes México has, with loads of ingredients and several steps. Its very rare that restaurants even serve it, because of how time consuming it is to make. It’s actually the national dish of Mexico!
Sauls pepper is the same one from “Like Water for Chocolate “ I loved that book and movie. I wish I could try that dish one day. So romantic
Yeeesss. I love every kind of chiles rellenos, but chiles en nogada, rule. Come to Mexico. We'll eat real tacos, mole, chiles rellenos and we won't drink tequila, sice you got the essence of that book, I think you are ready for mezcal.
"Little bit for the blender, little bit for me" Oh god I love this chef! 😂❤️
I love chiles en nogada. I’ve only had them ones in my life tho. It was a cold day so my boyfriend and i decided to stop by at a random restaurant In one of the cabins of Mazamitlan, JalIsco. With some hot chocolate. I’ll never forget that day 💓
Chef Saul is just too funny😂😂
Why did the pepper say no to dessert?
It was stuffed :/
That's a good one
Good one! :D
Literally just blew my mind with this one lol
SAULS BACCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!
LTD_The Odds Saul on an epicurious video is an event. I stopped what i was doing today to watch them
@@DS-ff6ze Same I dropped what I was doing just to see this and then I saw Saul and got so excited
Level 1’s knife skills actually have me scared for her fingers wtf
@Ian Robertson its because she is Persian,Persian women are great chefs
I was just thinking that she too good for level one lol
Saul is definitely one of my favorites. The loving humour of this man
Saul and Frank are my favorites. Hopefully there will be a video featuring just them
I LOVE SAUL!! Next time I’m in NY I’m going straight to Cantina Rooftop!!!
Saul's smile cure my depressions.
It's interesting how almost every country has stuffed peppers! In Russia we also do them, but in broth
That sounds awesome! What do you stuff them with?
@@mnels5214 usually we put ground meat (beef/pork) with rice, and then boil them in water with vegetables, such as onion, tomato, carrots and potatoes. It's very convenient to stuff them in advance and freeze them to cook later
@@alinatemirova3842 So, do u stuffed the pepper 1st then if u wanna save it u can put in refrigerator so u can cook it later in broth?
@@IzamINR yes, but better put it in the freezer, and when you want to cook it you put it in the broth frozen, more or less like this
@@IzamINR btw I created a Russian cooking channel (Dinner with Alina) and I will make it there probably in November. This dish is very tasty, I love it!
Saul randomly switching some words to spaish is just so unique, he has a ton of personality in his cooking too
Saul “ I’m here alone in my kitchen “ 😂😂😭❤️
Saul: "We're gonna burn the crap out of it" I just love this-
Saul's Spanglish is my favorite part of this. It's how you know he's being real and not trying to script anything.
Saul is my all-time favorite. His one-liners kill me every time! Please don't ever change Saul!
“For the pepper we have to burn the crap out of it” 😂 LMAO
It was so cute the way Saul ladled the sauce on the pepper, like covering it in blanket!
Level 3 chef is a freaking legend. What a hilarious man. What a god
Does anyone notice that the level 3 one looks like it’s sleeping? The herbs are hair and the sauce is a blanket.
Negeen's kitchen is just so Pinterest perfection
As soon as i saw Saul, i knew the others had no chance
the spoon drop after tasting the sauce! Saul you are killing me mate😂😂
We all love Saul's energy. That said, y'all NEED to try a Chile en nogada at least once, it is HEAVEN
Negeen and Heather were fine, but I definitely felt like I spent the entire episode just waiting for Saul to come back. Freaking gold.
Saul is hands down one of my fav level 3 chef! His personality is top tier
Saul is one of the best and entertaining chefs in the internet
Saul's dishes always look mouth-watering
Thank you Saul for existing in this world. You are such a ray of sunshine. 😭❤️
Level three chef “We are going to burn the crap out of it. So to prevent from burining you have it keep turning. So we want to cook it and we want to burn it, but we gonna make sure it doesn’t taste like burnt. Does that make any sense?”
Viewers: .......
Me, a Latina: yes, it makes sense
😂😂
Saul is so adorable. I want to be his best friend and also for him to teach me everything he knows.
The best lesson ever: we’re going to burn the crap out of it. I freaking love Saul.
Saul's dish itself resembles the Mexican flag.
Yeah, that's why it was made to celebrate our country's independence
That is absolutely the idea
I love this series! It showcases not only different levels but different approaches from other cultures. Chef Saul is always my favorite tho haha he is really cool!
Heh. So happy to see Chef Saul is also a fan of the deli containers. Mise en place in deli containers was basically my life in culinary school. Never enough bowls to go around!
I’m living for Saul’s energy
"RELEASE ALL THE STRESS!"😂😂
Love Saul, and I love that professionals use metric measurements.
Truly that’s my favorite series in the whole internet!!!! Thanks for the hard job
Enjoyed watching this series so much I could even hear the whole video even without the sound on
"Granada, we call this a grenade in mexico" I love saul's humor 😂
How is this _his_ humor? “Granada” refers to both a pomegranate and an explosive. That’s just a fact.
@@limepop340 it's all in his delivery! obviously it's a fact, but the way he acted like the pomegranate in his hand was a grenade was goofy and funny
"I lay the garlic down and think of an ex!" 😂😂😂 I love it
I'm 49 secs into the video and I'm already in love with the Mexican chef!!🌶🫑
I love chef Saul he needs his own show!
Saul just gave his pepper a sauce-blanket 😭
This is why Saul is the best lvl 3 chef
2:18 “let it rest for like 5 minutes” instead of people being like soak it for 5 days and freeze it for a week
Love chef 3. Everything he makes you can see is with love.
Epicurious have heard my demands for more Saul and IT. IS. GLORIOUS.
“Does that make sense no, well it does make sense to me”
I love you Saul😂
Honestly, i see no difference between level 1 and 2, they’re both awesome
I love this man I need to see more of him and his majestic culinary skills
I really love watching these! Thank you for continuing to make them through the pandemic. I am curious though, is there a way to get the recipes? My husband would love to try the level 2 ones and I want to try the level 3 ones. Level 1 looks yummy too. By the way, Yes Saul, the burning, not burning of the peppers makes sense.
