      I have cognac at home, but I think that'll work nicely as well. This this may be a staple here as well as many of your recipes.

    Totally overcooked my bananas. Then after plating up I remembered that I was supposed to put some cinnamon in the sauce. So I grabbed the jar that looked like cinnamon and added garam masala instead. Luckily I could smell what I had done before I used it and just added some cinnamon directly. Was still really nice.

    This is something they do in my home town in Puerto Vallarta México, they are VERY popular too in restaurants, just a great thing to watch because they do it at your table, plus they make a "show" kinda when they are making it, people really get impressed . Awesome chef! Thanks

    When I was in New Orleans with my father and sister, I got to try Bananas Foster at the Palace Cafe. They really went the extra mile with their version, because they used Vanilla Bean ice cream as opposed to regular vanilla.

      You can use other varieties of banana that can be cooked and eaten while underripe. They will have more girth than the ripe ones.

    i used to give the sauce a sqirt of lemon juice, the tanginess adds a nice layer of flavor. served with carmelized walnuts on top for texture. never tried with cinnamon but it makes perfect sense

      More spots on the bananas=more sugar in the bananas. It might taste more sweet. This dish does not go well with Lutefisk.

    Usually, I don't care much for deserts, but I seem to have gotten into the habit of trying every recipe of our beloved Chef John, also this one turned out great! But I wondered: wouldn't a pinch of salt give an additional zest to the sauce? It seems always to be the right thing to do when caramel of any kind is concerned.
    Thank you for all the great teaching and inspiring!

    @niznomores7961 Před 2 lety

    My banana tree just gave us about 8 bunches (16 per bunch) of the Saba variety. It's very girthy but short. Gonna try this recipe. Ur recipes never disappoint. Thank you for sharing ur expertise with us non expert cooks. My dad was a cook in the navy but I never really appreciated his expertise. He would make banana cream pies everytime a bunch ripened. I loved his made -from-scratch custard.

    Hey Chef John. I made this tonight. I think it was the 18th recipe of yours I’ve cooked. I don’t like rum so I don’t have any on hand. I used whisky. It’s probably better with rum, but I thought it was fantastic. The cinnamon sparkles are fun too! Rock on. 🤘 🎸 🥁 🎤 🥘

    we also have that kind of dessert here in Philippines but wihout rum. it is called banana con yelo. we use this kind of banana called 'saba' or as far as i know 'cardava banana' in english. it is actually the type of banana for cooking because of it's texture, it's kinda hard. well, just boil it and it will turn into a sweet banana. pretty much the same dish that featured here actually.

  • @dsps4gaminglounge752
    @dsps4gaminglounge752 Před 2 lety

    This is wonderful! But honestly I have seen comments people concerned about the alcohol. Don't worry about it! It's basically gonna be burned off and you would be left with basically sugar! Since rum is nothing but sugar once alcohol burns off.
    So it's kid safe!

    To those saying Alcohol cooks out, you might want to do some more research. According to the FDA:
    The highest rates of retention were with alcohol added to boiling liquid and then shortly after removed from heat. In this case, the alcohol retention rate was around 85%.
    The second highest alcohol retention rate came when using the flaming method of cooking, which resulted in around a 75% retention level.
    When using no heat and storing overnight, about 70% of the alcohol was retained.
    When baked for 25 minutes with the mixture not being stirred, the retention rate was 45%.
    When baked/simmered where the mixture is stirred, produced the following results:
    15 minutes 40%
    30 minutes 35%
    1 hour 25%
    1.5 hours 20%
    2 hours 10%
    2.5 hours 5%
    So no matter how long its cooked SOME alcohol will be present. However unless you have a hard and fast reason for avoiding even trace amounts, I really wouldn't worry.

    • @krittabhassupanyachotesaku6281
      @krittabhassupanyachotesaku6281 Před 7 lety +1

      According to your data, 75% alcohol retention level after flaming, doesn't it mean that after a big bowl of banana foster one should get intoxicated ?!?!

    • @Jalexb7
      @Jalexb7 Před 7 lety

      It depends on the alcohol tolerance and weight of the person. You are less likely to feel tipsy after eating. Also you would be consuming less than a half of a shots worth of alcohol. This dish was made for four people.

      Sorry to let facts intrude, but the actual study was conducted by the University of Idaho and the Washington State University. And the nice thing about the scientific method is that the setup and conduct of their experiment is detailed so you can prove or disprove their findings.

      It depends on how long you cook it. The FDA says it does, which is why you don't have to get carded when ordering foods cooked with alcohol in it, but it isn't really true. There's an episode of Good Eats that went over the subject but I can't remember which one it was.

    Most of the alcohol burns off. That's why it's no big issue. If you are allergic to alcohol, then it would be a big issue. There is also lactose free ice creams available. I think Chapman's makes them for people who are lactose intollerant.

    I made this the day you uploaded the video. Im not a big banana or icecream fan, but this was amazing! The flames scared me a bit. Big suprise, lol the smoke alarm set off. I think maybe too much liquor? I am alcohol heavy handed.
