    SUMMARY
    - If you want your burger to fry fast and evenly, form a “dimple” in the center of the patty before throwing it on the pan. It’ll disappear by the time the burgers are ready since they even out while they cook.
    - You always get that mini panic attack as you watch the beauty of your dessert being ruined by your own hand. To avoid this catastrophe, put the knife under hot running water, hold it there for some time, and then cut your cake.
    - Stick a small spritzer into a lemon, and it’ll work just like any other kitchen or bathroom spray-pump. If it feels like the liquid inside has run out, squeeze the lemon, and you’ll get more juice out of it.
    - To weigh fish or meat, put it on the palm of your hand. If it fits just within the palm, it weighs about 3 ½ ounces. If you really need to determine the correct portion of chips or crackers you have, again, pour them out onto your palms. Two handfuls of these crunchy delights will equal about 1 oz.
    - The kitchen can be an area of heightened danger, especially when you’re dealing with sharp objects like knives. You should always keep knife handles clean and grease-free.
    - There’s one simple trick here: the thinner the peel, the sourer the lemon. Armed with this knowledge, you can go to the grocery store and confidently choose the best option for your citrus fruit needs.
    - If you fry sausages in a pan, you might face the problem of uneven cooking. To deal with this issue and to fry them uniformly both inside and out, make small cuts along the sausages, and use low heat to cook them.
    - Crack an egg onto a white plate and pay attention to the egg white and the yolk. If they’re a bit too much on the runny side, this egg isn't as fresh as it should be.
    - Attach slices of toast to the cut edges of the cake using toothpicks. This way, your lovely pastry will be safely protected until you get the urge to cut into it again.
    - How to boil an egg:
    2 minutes if you like the yolk thin and runny with the white on the runny side too;
    4 minutes if you prefer a completely cooked white with thick runny yolk;
    6 minutes if you want an egg with a completely cooked white and mostly cooked yolk;
    8 minutes if your favorite egg is one with a fully cooked white and a soft yolk
    10 minutes if you like both the yolk and the white cooked completely to their max
    - It’s better to store leafy greens wrapped up in foil as it holds the right amount of moisture inside. This way your delicious healthy greens will stay fresh much longer
    - The secret to cooking the perfect bacon is simple: bake your bacon! You need to preheat your oven to 400°F, and place the bacon on a piece of foil. Bake it for 12 minutes (make it 15-20 if the bacon is thick).
    - To reheat pizza properly, spray it with some water before heating it up in the oven.
    - Cut your steak against the grain. This way it won't tear apart, and you'll get perfect slices.

      @DaebakMonkey Před 6 lety +9

      Yeah... They just seemed too DIY. I really cringed at the rubber bands on the knife handle. If your knife is slipping that badly then you have the wrong shape of handle for your hand or the material it is made out of are aweful.

    Tip: when baking zucchini bread, after shredding zucchini either by hand or using food processor, grab and use clean/lint free cloths to squeeze out the excess water. If not and the zucchini is still soaked, your loaf will not only cook unevenly but will be soggy as well!

  • @DaZebraffe
    @DaZebraffe Před 6 lety +2

    For the bonus one, you don't need to use a fork. Holding the cooking with a spoon so that it's under the level of the milk, and pressed gently against the side of the cup, will also work wonders. It also helps reduce the odds of an over-soaked cookie breaking apart and leaving part of it in the bottom of the cup to get super-saturated and gross.

    • @Silmerano
      @Silmerano Před 6 lety +1

      Chefs only put a finger or 2 on the handle anyway. You're supposed to grip a knife by the back of the blade. The handle is just there to provide leverage.

    • @GGysar

      Because normal people have sharp knifes : D

    • @Excludos
      @Excludos Před 6 lety

      I can't even tell what it's suppose to help against? Slippery hands? Just wipe them! The video is all over the place. It sounds like this guy thinks "the knife slipped" means someone let go of it because it's slippery, but it just means whatever you were cutting rolled away because you're either clumsy, have a dull knife, or both.

    • @eltigre249
      @eltigre249 Před 6 lety

      I would think that elastics would be a source of bacteria growth.

    • @rustykoenig3566
      @rustykoenig3566 Před 6 lety

      or...... you take your eyes off it for a couple seconds at the wrong time and you nail your finger lol.... oh wait .... i guess the knife wouldn't have "slipped" if you get ur finger lol.
      Actually....... I have never ever had a knife "slip" from my grip while in use.... even with a dull knife will not slip, the food moves away from the knife, the food does not repel the knife so that it slips out your hand... lol I have dropped knives but not because they are so "slippery" they slid out while in use.... but have dropped them from bumping them or grabbed it wrong while trying to grab it and it hits the floor...... because I have learned to let a falling knife to keep falling without me trying to catch it :) lol.

  • @peachylady
    @peachylady Před 6 lety +52

    To check if eggs are fresh, all you need to do is put them in a glass or jug of water. If they float they're bad, if they sink they're good to go.

    • @eltigre249
      @eltigre249 Před 6 lety +2

      Not correct.

    • @cnlawrence1183
      @cnlawrence1183 Před 6 lety +4

      Yes and maybe not, it doesn't mean they are "bad". It means that they've been out of the chicken so long that some of the egg in the shell has evaporated and can take on air.
      The air in the older eggs is what makes them float. "If you've got an egg that floats, it's probably past it's prime and should be discarded"
      Source from Kenji Lopez-Alt's book The Food Lab.

    • @nadkudo1798
      @nadkudo1798 Před 6 lety +2

      That's not exactly right either. Egg shells have a thin layer to protect the inside from evaporation, this is lost when you wash them (this is why you have to store those clean looking eggs in the fridge, they were washed and lost that protective layer and they don't last long) and it's also lost with time.
      Another thing that happens with time is the albumin (one of the proteins) in the egg white starts to break up, wich makes them lose their structure. Hence, the thick albumen starts to break up (like it's shown at 4:27) and it softens up, making it less than ideal to use it for whipping, poaching, and so on but it's definetly not "bad" and totally edible.

  • @tessajalloh3914
    @tessajalloh3914 Před 6 lety +58

    no. using your hand as a measure is not a good or close to accurate measurement. People's hands are varying sizes, so there's no 'one size fits all'. If you want a bloody teaspoon, use a teaspoon!!

    • @tessajalloh3914
      @tessajalloh3914 Před 6 lety +5

      oh i agree, but telling someone to judge their ingredients based on their hand size if they can't already tell how much is there then they're going to ruin it. Learn from experience, but get the foundations right first for goodness sake.

    • @GGysar
      @GGysar Před 6 lety +3

      You don't even have to be a chef to do that. You just need to cook at home, eventually you will know it and if not EVERYBODY has spoons at home

    • @DarkwaveMistress

      @tcphll Před 6 lety +4

      BritishMade1973 Even in a frying pan, much of the juice runs out and either evaporates into the air or stays in the pan. The casing helps keep the juice inside the sausage. It's the same reason you don't pierce meat when you're cooking it in a pan or grill.

    about the eggs: i learned that you can spin them and briefly stop them, if they keep spinning they are good, if they stop they are bad. i tried it with an really old one recently and it indeed did stop spinning. I'm not sure if it really works, but it's giving me confidence ^^

    • @linusji1732
      @linusji1732 Před 6 lety

      but you need to take them out from the fridge 30min to 1 hour before you cook them so they can be at room temperature

    • @Nakia11798
      @Nakia11798 Před 6 lety

      Linus Ji For some things, yes, but for others no. Butter, for example, doesn’t need to be room temperature to go into a pan. Nor do eggs. I can’t think of other examples off the top of my head, but I’m sure there are some.
      If we leave the topic of frying and go into baking, for some recipes things actually should be kept cold until last second. Butter, milk, and eggs are the most common.

    • @linusji1732

      for baking there are quite often that you need room temperature butter actually. I think the guy wrote the topic mostly referring to meat

    The lemon one seems wrong. First you say that "the thinner the peel - the more sour the lemon" but then you say "if the outer shell feels soft, it's sourness is medium range, while the harder lemons will bring tears to your eyes"... Hard lemons would have the thickest peel, so that would make it the other way around.

    • @rustykoenig3566
      @rustykoenig3566 Před 6 lety +7

      It is not an "exact" measurement but "any" fist will be "close" to 1 cup. I am 6'5" 280 lbs and I would have bigger hands than lets say the asian you mentioned but when I ball up a fist, the size of tightly closed fist would not be "that" much bigger than even a little asian hand. If you are super worried about the whole different hands different size thing, then measure out 1 cup and compare it to your hand but the difference would not be noticeable in a recipe, even if you are cooking for just yourself. Long time ago when I worked at a pizza place, I had this manager that yelled at you if you didn't use the "measuring cup" for the toppings...... so.... I grabbed the portion with my hand, threw it into the cup then onto the pizza.... I already had the correct portion before it even touched the cup and it was quicker than using the cup to actually measure it out.... One day she said something bout using the measure cups and I said I don't ever use them.... she said ya you do cuz I see you.... I said no, I just throw it into the cup so you see it going into the cup, but I use my hand to portion it lol. I can ball up and patty hamburger patties from a log of meat and do 20 lbs of patties and never weigh them then go back and weigh them and find 1, MAYBE 2 that are .3 oz off, the rest are within .1-.2 oz
      What this guy said about the measurements are dead on.

    I cook perfect bacon every time....put your pan on medium high heat and flip occasionally almost like every 2 to 3 minutes...it will be straight and crispy melt in your mouth goodness....and to avoid popping reduce the heat to low whenever you put more bacon in the pan and the more grease is in the pan from being released from the bacon slightly decrease the heat just a tad.

      Olive oil in the pan on a high heat when hot add a knob of unsalted butter then throw on your bacon. Fry to how you like it, flipping as little a possible, so if you can once.
      As a lover of Chinese 5 spices, if you coat the bacon in it before frying it is amazing.

    Your egg timings are incorrect. It depends on whether they are stored in or out of the fridge (Unless you live in a very hot climate, never in the fridge BTW) It also depends on whether you put into cold or boiling water and the size of the egg.

    • @assassinsmann12
      @assassinsmann12 Před 6 lety

    • @Nakia11798

      1. Don’t put eggs into cold water. You’re boiling them incorrectly.
      2. Most people store them in the fridge
      3. Yes, he is incorrect somewhat. It only takes 8 minutes to hard-boil an egg, not 10.
      To add: We used large eggs in class, so it shouldn’t take any longer, but may take a minute shorter for a small egg.

    • @jeffreystewart9809
      @jeffreystewart9809 Před 6 lety +6

      In a lot of places, eggs arent refrigerated. They can actually last for quite a while without it. However, ince they are refrigerated, they have to remain so. Therefore, dont think you can save space in your fridge by buying refrigerated eggs from tge store and simply leave them out on the counter. If they are fresh though, go right ahead.

    • @DiggandDugg

    @billroberts7881 Před 6 lety

    My two favorite kitchen hacks are as follows: 1). Sprinkle table salt all over a wet potato, and then using your hands, scrub the skins to clean the potato before baking it. The salt acts as a sort of "edible scouring powder" to get the skin clean. After scrubbing the potato, rinse it and reapply salt all over before putting it in the oven (do not wrap in foil). The potato will come out baked, with a slightly crispy skin that is already salted. Delicious! 2). To make a cake rise uniformly in a cake pan while baking, wrap wet paper towels folded to the height of the cake pan all around the pan and secure by tying thread around the pan and the wet paper towels. The cake will come out with far less "crowning" and work much better for a multi-layer cake.

      Nope. That's not a hack, it's just a poor way to make garlic bread. Get decent bread, first of all. Take a full bulb of garlic, cut the tips off so the cloves are exposed, and roast it. Soften some butter. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the softened butter. Oregano and parsley can be added as well, if you like. Mash the cloves up into the butter, and spread the butter/clove/seasoning mixture onto your bread. Toast the bread in the oven normally.
      If you have to use butter and garlic powder, put them on before you toast the bread in the oven. It will be massively better.

    Adding to tip #5: *Calculating the Time Needed to Boil a Perfect Egg.* If you wish to have hard-boiled eggs for Egg Salad Sandwiches, then use the video's suggested cooking time (10 minutes) for thorough cooking. Remove from heat and transfer eggs to *ice water.* Allow to cool, then remove the shells. *Result:* ice water stops the cooking process producing bright yellow yolks without that green edge. Egg Salad looks bright and delicious. Our family adds a touch of mustard to the standard mayonnaise. Yum.

      Here in the UK , and our direct farm to table communities in the US, we don't wash our eggs until just before we use them and so we do not have to refrigerate them because the natural coating has remained intact throughout.
      Who knew eggs could get so daggone complicated? ;)

      Are the eggs still considered fresh if they hatch?

    I've always made my bacon in the oven. Save the paper towels, put a rack on the tray, then lay out the bacon and allow the grease to drip away from the meat. It's especially good for candied bacon.

    An ice bath makes hard boiled eggs very easy to peal.

    My husband taught me that brining a pork roast in pickle juice overnight before roasting it makes it extra tender and really delicious.
