    Why does conventional tv exist when theres independent creators like alex single handedly making top level content

    • @stauffap
      @stauffap Před 3 lety +16

      Because advertisers still pay them a lot of money. Not just to produce content, but to also produce content with hidden advertisement in it (not just for products, but also for political ideologies). Giant, profit seeking companies want tv to spread their points of view. So they keep it alive. And tv channels keep doing what the advertisers want, because it's the only thing that keeps them alive. And as we've seen the last year, this is a recipe for disaster. The US has never been more divided.

Inspiring chemistry noobs (my pupils) to the beauty of chemistry at work. Making Mayonaise will be a part of my teaching routine from now on. BTW that means you can subtitute egg yolk with soap.

      YES! One of the things we did in chemistry in my school was make mayonnaise. And that's one of the classes I still remember to this day decades later. I will never forget when we made mayonnaise in school and because I will never forget that day, I will also never forget the science behind it. There are so many lessons that my teacher taught me that I have completely forgotten. I did not forget when we made mayonnaise. And yes, it also made it easier to remember how soap works. Honestly, at this point the only reason why I do not think you are my chemistry teacher is because it would not make sense chronologically, but you are hitting all the same right points that my chemistry teacher did.

    Dispersion mill effect!! Thank you so much for finally putting a name to what has for me always been a key part of how I incorporate ingredients. I'm no fabulous chef, but I am a decent cook, and much of my confidence in the kitchen comes from a natural knack for incorporating ingredients in a way that uses the relative strengths and densities of ingredients to good advantage when mixing. This really helps me never have lumps in my gravy or my white sauce, break as few of those precious bubbles in my beaten egg whites as possible, and get nut butters into all sorts of recipes they don't usually appear in! Speaking of that, I often mix nut butters with yogurt which, sort of similar to mayonnaise, ends up thick and stable. Does anyone else do that? Whisk some yogurt and peanut butter together, then stir in some blueberries, yumm! Or whisk some cashew butter, a bit of tahini and yogurt with some maple syrup, and it ends up thick and stable enough to use as icing for an angle food cake!

    Excellent video Alex!
    I just like to add something: Mustard also has an important role in the mayonnaise emulsifying process.
    Mustard seeds have Mucilage, which offers some unique rheological properties and excellent emulsion capacity and stability in oil/water systems (similar to xanthan gum, for example).

    Great video. Entertaining. I've seen several videos that explain the science behind the making of an emulsion. What you have done is to take an extra couple of steps beyond the basic "how-to" and made a "why-how-to!" Lethicin, the binder, that magic ingredient or chemical property that hold the suspended antithetical water and oil together.
    Last point of praise I promise. You have also created mayo within your wonderful series on Mother Sauces; therefore classifying and raising mayo to the high pedestal of a sauce!
    A sauce that is, in it's own rights, brilliant and delicious, but can be the bases for other equally delicious sauces! From aioli with all its varied and subtle renditions to a "dressing" sauce for a variety of salads. Bravo!

Just pop 2 eggs with the whites(they make the mayo smoother), salt, spoon of mustard and vinegar optionally pepper. Add oil about one cup. Sink the blender at the bottom then turn the blender on maximum and slowly raise the blender. Viola Mayo ready in 2 minutes.

    milk is actually also an emulsion of fat and water, hence why you can separate butter and buttermilk from it. Most of the face creams and those kinds of things are also emulsions. Technically, Aerosols and gels are also the same thing as emulsions, but they are gas and liquid and solid and liquid mixtures while emulsions are purely liquid and liquid.
    Alex did a really good job of explaining the chemistry of the emulsion process. He also did a really good job in making the process of making mayo sound like a horror story.

    You can actually use an immersion blender to make mayonnaise super fast. Just make sure to use a very neutral oil and a container to blend in that causes the oil to be above the blades, then slowly raise the blender to start incorporating the oil.

    I was surprised when you listed the ingredients! The only difference in hers (and mine) is that we use olive oil instead of vegetable oil (portuguese olive oil is super good and we use it for everything)
    Do you think there is a difference between olive oil vs vegetable oil?
