      @RadiantPickle Před 3 lety +1

      I'm a huge fan of Oxo, but they have a can opener that cuts from the side that's absolute garbage. I bought one a few years ago that wouldn't cut after the third or fourth time I used it, and when I exchanged it the replacement one had the same problem. Their normal style can opener is alright, but that sideways one should be avoided.

  • @injunsun
    @injunsun Před 3 lety +3

    In Knoxville Tennessee, all of the "country style" restaurants do a very similar style of potatoes to this, but they just called them, "home fries," or "home fried potatoes." They do use boiled potatoes, but rather than them being peeled and sliced, they chunk them into approximately 2 to 3 cm cubes. In addition to cooking them with onion, many places will also offer the optional add-ins of green pepper and/or mushrooms. I highly recommend having the add-ins. At home, I also tend to add about 3 cloves of minced garlic to the amount of potatoes that you cooked. Sometimes I will season with a touch of poultry seasoning or Italian seasoning.

    • @douglasfrank9323
      @douglasfrank9323 Před 3 lety

      The difference is in using raw potatoes verus boiled. I found that cubed home fries are more in the south and sliced are more common in the north. My dad would refer to fried potatoes made with raw potatoes as "raw fries".

    Natalie cooked the roast until it was perfect and the sauce looked great on the meat and all you need is some mashed potatoes to put some of the sauce on and cornbread to make it a perfect meal. Those potatoes with the onions does look great also and would be perfect with the roast beef tenderloin and some cornbread.

    I don't usually have anything to say about the product testing and it makes me feel uninclusive at times, but I finally do! I grabbed a pair of the OXO tongs a few years ago and the locking mechanism on them twisted, giving them a unpredictable countdown before they spring open in the middle of the night lol. If I remember right it happened within a day. I'll be in the market for a secondary pair sometime soon and looking for a more sturdy mechanism along with all the helpful things that Adam shared. ☺️
    This reminds me of steak dinners at dad's place. Not the best memories, but I'm excited to make something similar without the dining table threats. 🙄
    Thanks, everyone!

      An instant pot would be a good way to extract some great flavor from the chain, but you'd end up transferring it to another saucepan anyway to properly reduce it. It'd have the saute setting, but I'd prefer to make a sauce like that on a stovetop where I'd have more control over the temp at any given time.

    That beef sauce is the crime. It makes me very angry to see any meat wasted like that.

    Discarding the chain after the sauce seems really wasteful.
    I'm sure you could find a use for it.

    We were doing just fine when instead of umami people said savory. That fancy term adds nothing.

      Actually it specifically refers to the taste of glutamates. Savory is not interchangeable with umami.

      Umami is the new term in the west, borrowed from Japan. "Savory" is as old as dirt and just as common... congrats for being born under a rock.
