      my guess is that most of why the "but better" versions are so good is that he makes them at home, he doesnt even have to make such a effort cuz lliterally just cooking this at home makes a huge difference

      @Airborne92 Před 2 lety +10

      @m.e.p.7223 Před 2 lety +15

      but still, taking into account shopping, cleanup, and the fact that not everybody has as organized a kitchen as joshua does, it's debatable. it was a fun video for sure, but it doesn't exactly prove anything about the actual timeframe someone could make this dish in. hell, just having a neat, big kitchen where you know exactly where everything is cuts SO much time down when you're cooking, and josh already knew exactly what he was doing, even if he didn't know the recipe 100% and forgot some things. i'd argue that ordering takeout is still probably faster than the average person being able to make orange chicken from scratch.

    • @dtemp132
      @dtemp132 Před 2 lety +7

      Fun video. Doesn't include time doing the dishes. I do dishes for 20-30min every day and it's the worst part of my day. The best part of takeout isn't the food quality or saving time cooking (which I enjoy), it's no dishes.

    • @alfredgomez3128
      @alfredgomez3128 Před 2 lety +2

      He still goes extra in making everything from scratch, when people have trouble with assembling and cooking the meat.
      His cooking videos are still not true basic starters, they don't encourage cheating when the restaurant industry clearly does. I could use the chicken recipe and add Panda Express Orange Sauce....or buy pre-made Orange Chicken and add the same sauce. The latter's a good start if you've never fried anything and need quick practice.

    I loved this because as much as his other videos are edited to show the perfect takes and therefore really pleasant to watch, I could relate to so many parts of this video as someone who cooks at home regularly; like how he started running out of counter space, how the oil didn't heat initially, and missing the egg dredge. Thanks for giving us a window into your struggles and learnings too!

    I've been following a lot of your recipes recently and what I've found is that for the first 1 or 2 times you make the food as an at home chef its easier to do everything step by step and then once your comfortable with the recipe it's so much easier to do it all at once. If you start doing multiple things at the same time for a brand new recipe it just stresses you out and you tend to let things burn.

    Your style of cutting a lot and going fast while it is nice for time saving on content consumption, it takes the informative approach you have done in a lot of your other series w/ a sprinkle of memedom and fun, to a new category where this entire video felt super jumpy and disconnected.

    This is pretty dope Josh. On days when the Mrs. and I work we don't have much time to make a bomb tasty dinner so this series would be perfect for us! "But Faster" on the days we work and "But Better" on our days off seems like the move. Thanks brother!

  • @michaelsteinwender7837

    this series is an awesome idea!! it shows a glimpse of what mere mortal homecooks can archieve since Sensei Josh is rushing himself. Also the alternative options like the pressure cooker for the rice are cool kitchen hacks for plebs like me for a rainy day.

    I like the concept, would love to see more! Personally, I'd benefit more if the show focused on techniques to be quicker and efficient. We all understand that papa will be fast, but going over the skills to practice and get up to speed would be huge.
    The whole racing thing is fun but feels like we get the same effect if Josh just tries to keep everything under 30-40 minutes vs a stopwatch, with the taste tests at the end. He can stop the timer to go over details of how/why he's doing something. I'd like to see more of him talking about how he would prepare and lay out his kitchen beforehand to go faster. Setting up would probably still be faster than me putting things away, getting dressed, and finding what I want to order tbh. Time saving/flavor boosting tips like preparing the chicken for 5-10 minutes the night before would also be helpful.

      It definitely felt like "how fast can /I/ make this". And he's a trained chef. 😂😅 sorry Josh but I have no hope nor the desire to run around like Speedy Gonzalez Weissman in the kitchen here, especially with sharp knives and splattering oils. Doesn't make the cooking process very appealing when it's adding another type of stress.

    • @kiltedcripple
      @kiltedcripple Před 2 lety +5

      Yes, prepping ahead where you can is key.
      Like if i know I'm making saucy dishes for more than just me, I prep the sauces the day before. Especially useful for sandwich sauces or noodle sauces.
      I make stock 3 or 4 times a year and jar it, so if I'm planning something that will need stock, I pull one out of the freezer the day before to let it thaw.
      I pull beef out the day before and salt brine it, especially steaks and roasts. If I'm braising, I might only salt the meat 10 to 15 minutes ahead.
      I make seasoning blends ahead to cut down on reaching for individual spices while cooking. Definitely useful for Indian and Mexican dishes.
      And definitely, if you're deep frying or boiling, take those big pots of liquid started while you prep veggies or start carbohydrates because they take forever to get up to temp.

      Ethan Chlebowski (here on CZcams) just did the type of video you described, but to make a Chick-fil-A sandwich. He didn't rush the process and still had time to explain his steps/recipe.

    • @mcbedo6568
      @mcbedo6568 Před 2 lety +3

      the problem is, if he did that people would still complain. A lot and I mean a lot of his recipes call for preparing things ahead of time and all people could do was complain about how they "don't have enough time to do smth like that"
      Imagine wanting to be a home cook while also juggling a busy life but not wanting to put in the minimum possible effort needed to achieve that.
      I've noticed that those same set of people always lack a certain amount of common sense. Like how they thought buying bulk ingredients for "just a sandwich is stupid" when you can literally use all the leftovers for a million other recipes across the week.

      but the prep was in the video, he Did everything on screen, the cleanup part should not be considered in this Challenge simply because restaurants does not have one person doing the cooking the prep and the cleaning, is a business with more than one person, and then if we have to be this specific since the restaurant messed up the order he made the food in half of the time he got his food right (If we consider that the restaurant they went was more or less 10 min as they said in the video, it took around 40 minutes to get the proper food)
