  • We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Emily, home cook Gabrielle, and professional chef Saul Montiel from Cantina Rooftop - to make us eggs benedict. Once each level of chef had presented their creation, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices they made along the way - both good and bad. Which eggs benedict are you brunching with?
    Chef Saul is on Instagram at @chefsaulmontiel

      @eddesa5134 Před rokem +4

      @@caroldemort3269 I actually expect that his labour charge would be the most expensive. As an executive chef he probably charges quite a good hourly rate, and then think of how much time (I'm estimate at least 4 hours) you'd require to buy all those ingredients and make that one dish! In London even the trainee chefs get £15 per hour so the labour cost alone would be £60!!! Quails eggs in London are expensive too and if I went to Mexico on holiday I would not be eating quails eggs or eggs benedict but the regional specialities that Mexicans make and love!

    I feel like there was a shift in these episodes when it comes to how the channel represents the level 1 chefs. Before, they were shown to be either lazy or just didn't know how to cook. But now, they're shown to be resourceful and catering to the accessibility of the average person. I really appreciate this subtle change. It's always a fun time when we see someone who doesn't quite know what they're doing, but it's more beneficial to see these dishes being made affordable and still tasty. Let me know if any of you have noticed this change! : )

      Maybe they just don’t have the infrastructure to do that, like 3 ovens, 3 stoves, etc. Also, if they were to cook on the same place and on the same day, the place should be bigger (I suppose it’s not) and it would be difficult for the sound staff to manage all the noises and talking at the same time and place.

      Emily downplays her actual skills. She is a better cook than she pretends to be. Watch her collab with Chef Frank or her own channel to see that. Canadian bacon is right up her alley, but she used bologna because she knew it would rile some people.

      I can make Hollandaise in my sleep. But only after making it a thousand times along with mayo (similar emulsion but not cooked). But for the home cook, it is annoyingly finicky. A good whisk is a must with enough wire loops. OXO is good but I use a Best Products french whisk.
      And poached eggs are like soo many egg recipes where perfect is tough. Timing, water temp, egg temp, are all variables. Like omelettes, I make decent poached eggs but only 1 in 10 are really perfect (jammy yolk with a perfect soft white). I don't add vinegar because it can make the whites tough.

    If you put a Purex 500 mil glass measuring thingy with about 3/4’s of water on the top baking baking sheet it will keep it even flatter. Use oven safe glass, or you can use a bowl too. I cook all my bacon in the oven, and I don’t bother to cover it. It doesn’t splatter like in a pan. You can cook to your desired doneness. I put baking paper under the bacon though. Easy clean up. No bacon grease splatter all over the place either. Cook on 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 180 Celsius.
