    I have a lot of anxiety because my family and I are living in poverty at this time. Which, ironically, is a massive step up from living in a toxic/abusive situation but with a higher income we left a few years ago.
    Any way, your channel, so far, has been gently exciting, and wholesomely adventurous. As you do whatever you end up doing in the clips, you invite people to vicariously try things with you without saying it.
    I don't know if others are feeling the same, but somehow you express support and encouragement to try new stuf. It's like your videos show that the obstacles are really just a little mole hill that one can either step over or avoid while still achieving the goal. The world looks less scary and more inviting from your perspective.
    I feel more calm more often after watching your stuf.
    Thank you.

    Hi, I am a chef from Munic. I got a tip for your Schnitzel: Add half whipped Cream to your egg. Then move the pan with the Schitzel inside in circles on the fire durig frying. In the end u take the schitzel out of the Pan on a towel or sth.. Put the Oil away, maybe through a fine sieve, to use the oil again later. Add butter to your pan and put the Schitzel in again wile moving it. And voila, you got a incredible tasty, crispy AND fluffy Schitzel. The Cream makes the crust fluff away from the meat. Try it:)

      Actually you made Schweineschnitzel. When I was younger I wanted to do all of the things that you are doing but never got to do it. Now that I am old and unable to. I want to thank you for being able to live vicariously through you.

    • @scarred537

      or you could use clarified butter for frying and there should be so much oil in the pan that the schnitzel can float

    When adding meat (or anything) to hot oil, put the end in closest to you and lay it down going away from you. That way any oil splashes will not burn you.

    Indeed a lunch fit for a king, the crunch of the Schnitzel and the piquant flavour of the potato salad. And a sweeping view of the snow covered mountains to match.
    HEAVEN!!!

    as a german lemme tell you thats one of the most traditional dishes to this day and german also love cow but pork is way cheaper and since the east of germany used to be way poorer than than the west. so still to this day you see more pork in east german and cow in west but it depends more on the money. i love this dish , it was really nice to see you cooking it in this beautiful enviroment!

    You hit the nail on the head with cooking. When my mother taught me as a kid, she would teach how to know when something was cooked, or what to look for/taste for rather than following strict instructions. I does give you a much better feel for cooking and gives you the confidence to do your own thing.

    Hello from Japan Alex - I am happy to find you knowing Japanese pork cutlet/Schnitzel - "Tonkatsu" and even the difference of the types of breadcrams^^. You are absolutely right! We have chicken versions, but not beef version. I've subscribed your channel for a while and watched quite a few - so enjoyable and relaxing. Please keep doing great work^^!

  • @Amadeus_Flyfishing
    @Amadeus_Flyfishing Před rokem +4

    This is called "Schnitzel Wiener Art" which means something like "variant of Wiener Schnitzel", because it`s with pork. A great trick is to spray the meat with some water. The water will later evaporate and the crust will then be lifted of the meat and become very fluffy, like a soufflé. The next step would be to use very special flour and breadcrumbs to make the perfect crust.
    PS: next cooking video Kaiserschmarrn? :)

    8:20 you can also just use a wooden spoon and dip it into the oil. If its hot enough you can see small bubbles coming up from the spoon.
    I really love your channel (just found it today) and your attempt on Schnitzel was really nice and lovely to watch!
    I personally love our food in germany, it just feels so "home-like" :D
    There is nothing better and nostalgic than coming from outside as a little kid and grandma already finnished the Schnitzel! Good old times when I was a youngster. My grandma was the reason why Schitzel will always be my favorite food of all time :D Thanks for bringing that feeling back!

    Hey Alex, looks like you‘re having a great time up in the mountains, and fantstic job on the Schnitzel. Just wanted to say that pork is used a lot instead of veil in Austria. Chicken also tastes great as Schnitzel.
    Here‘s how I do potato salad (btw Austrians often call it Erdäpfelsalat while Germans refer to Kartoffelsalat 😉):
    Instead of using a premade sauce, I just mix the still warm potatoes with chopped up raw onion. I add vinegar, salt and pepper and let it sit until it has cooled to room temperature. Doing so gives you more of the taste of the potatoes.
    Really enjoy your videos!

    Now though at age 58 I'm doing just that ,solo by myself ,and the wife is happy doing her own thing while I'm away . At the mo I have a small van ,but in the near future I plan to get something bigger so we can both go away 😁

    pro tip from vienna: no matter how thin the meet is cut, allwas smash it with a hammer (schnitzelklopfer) or a heavy pan. that way the fibers of the meet will tear and the schnitzel will be softer and better. mahlzeit!
