Very useful tips. The oven tips are super useful for me. Helped me understand my oven better. I use only iron and cast iron pans and other traditional vessels for cooking only. I do not use any nonstick or even stainless steel in my kitchen. They are all brass, bronze, copper, tin, stone, iron or cast iron. I do have your knife which I am very proud of! Thanks for a very useful video!

Hahaha, attitude is the key factor, I'd say. For example, I make the best bolognese sauce when I'm angry as hell or simply pissed off at the universe. Don't know why, but it's the truth. I probably don't fuss over the pot as much, just throw stuff in and leave it to cook. If I think too much about it (e.g. when I'm relaxed and attentive) I start tweaking, tasting, adjusting and it goes downhill from there. :)

Most of the things I have learned over the years while cooking but I didn't exactly know why I did that. I'm glad you explained those tips into science and why behind it, that way I can explain them to my kids in the future instead of saying "just do as I say". A couple of tips I learned from you today and the last video of the meal prep will definitely use it in the future. Your knowledge of food always amazes me Rafika. And your passion always inspires me to cook more. Have a great weekend.

The best ever Y-peeler is from Ikea (and I have tested soooo many, due to joint problems and Y-peelers were originally designed as a technical aid for people with arthritis and similar, so I got my first one from an occupational therapist)! It has rounded edges (where yours has straight steel), so much more comfy. It also cuts better and easier, more smooth. Really a much better peeler, you should get one! I also often use it to cut strips of vegetables. Actually I bought special such ones meant for veggie cutting, but this one is so much better, I gave the others away… ☺️🤗

Refika, your explanations are really first class! Well done! As a cook of many long years there’s nothing new here for me (I’m 71 years old), but when I’m asked “How you do that?” means I can send the enquirer here. So many YT cooks make you wait while a process completes and boredom sets in, or they drown out the words with loud music. If anyone thinks your presentation is a little rushed the settings can slow it down. Far better than increasing the speed on the sluggards! Again, I’m very impressed. I’m looking forward to watching you cook specific recipes now… I do love learning new recipe ideas from first class cooks.

Just an FYI: the Nakiri isn't for cutting sushi :) it's best for cutting through hard vegetables/fruits like winter squash, sweet potatoes, etc. The Japanese knife best for very precise slices for sushi without damaging the fish is usually the yanagiba (depends on the person but any sharp, thin, long flexible knife is great)

It was adorable when she pronounced “veggies” as “wedgies” for me, cause I used to live in Istanbul and a lot of my coworkers and friends struggled with the “v” sound. In English, the v is more like the v in “evet” (but stronger - I can’t say that perfectly and the second I said “evet” or “var mı?”, everyone knew I was a yabancı), in English it’s never like the v in “tavuk” or “tuvalet”. I think they get taught that cause of German or something, I dunno. Reminds me when my boss was trying to tell me what “Kadife sokak” (bar street in the Kadıköy district of Istanbul, at least it was when I lived there, hope it still is), and he kept saying “welwet” and I told him “I don’t understand, that is not an English word” and he finally grabbed his shirt sleeve and said “•Like the clot!” (th is difficult, too), and I was like “ohhhh, velvet!” And he said it perfectly after that. 😂 No judgment, I can’t say “ö” or “ü” well in Turkish, not to mention I’d always use an upward intonation when asking a question like we do in English, everyone knew I was a foreigner (yabancı in Türkçe). Accents are wonderful, just sharing my memories and I love that they remind me of my time in Istanbul, the most beautiful city in the world. ❤️

I always enjoy your videos and I have tried a number of your recipes, all of which were delicious. When you were discussing pans, you did not mention carbon steel when you were discussing the different types. Carbon steel pans are often used in restaurants for frying pans and saute pans. Like aluminum, copper, or coated pans, they heat very quickly and are light in weight. They are more durable and do not have the same issues that copper and aluminum do when it comes to pitting or heat. Also, they do not emit gas as coated pans do. The issue many home cooks have with them is that like cast iron pans, they need to be properly seasoned with a high-temperature oil so they develop a seal on the carbon steel. Once a person knows how to seal the pan properly these pans only improve with age. I use a 10 inch [25 centimeter] carbon steel frying pan for almost all of my sauteing and frying of foods but I do not have a large family to cook for. My 10-inch pan is excellent at frying up a small steak or sauteing vegetables. It also makes excellent fried eggs, as well as, omelets and crepes. There are some amazingly good quality carbon steel pans made in France by de Buyer and Matfer. In the US and Canada, you can buy these French brands of pans but Lodge and Paderno also make very good ones for the home cook which are less expensive. There are also some very good KZbin videos on how to season a carbon steel pan [or a cast iron pan] which are excellent for someone who has never learned how to do this. Of course, if you are as old as I am you probably saw your mother and grandmother do this when you were a child. Thank you again for your wonderful shows and all my best to you and all of your crew. Whenever I watch one of your videos, it is like visiting with old friends.

And thank you for the knife and pan tutorial!! I seem to be using just about everything as I should without knowing it. :) But, I do want to get that chopping knife, that would come in very handy. I tend to use the chief knife because it has a slight arch to it, but the blade isn't rounded enough. The oven info was very interesting. I wish I had an oven like that (and a gas stove LOL). I'm in the US and I don't ever remember seeing an oven that has the two solid "pan" style shelves, I've only seen them with the wire racks. You do get what is called a broiler pan (which sits on top of the wire rack) and is a shallow pan about 2in/ 5cm deep and has a rack like cover that has a wavy bottom with holes (so the juices can drip to the pan below). It's usually used to broil (grill) meats (beef or pork). But I don't like to cook my meats that way, they get too dry for me as I like my beef pretty rare. For pizza and some breads, I bought a pizza stone, which is heated up in the oven first, then the pizza is placed on the stone. For the pizza I start it out in the middle of the oven then move it to the top position of the oven to finish off the pizza's top. This makes the crust nice and crunchy and the top cheese gooey. Next time I'm in the market for an oven, I'll have to see if I can find one with the solid pan/shelves yours had. I really like that.

Thank you so much for this video, Refika (and team)! I absolutely LOVE your videos and this has been one of my favorites. It is very helpful in understanding my microwave oven too, which has convection based functions. Though, could you please recommend on the best way to make a lahmacun/pizza/pide in a convection based microwave oven, since it has the turntable attachment at the bottom, and I cannot keep it directly on the enamel surface?

You addressed all the things that I have noticed over the years from both restaurants, and cooking at home. What you bring to us I haven't found anywhere else! I absolutely LOVE your videos! Thank you so much! I remember pointing out to some restaurants that the pizza was always soggy in the middle, so when they cut the pizza into slices, the end points were always soggy and undercooked. Made me a "Mad" Italian or a "Crazy" Greek! Neither aspersion do I care for! I usually ended up finishing the baking process once I got the pizza home! Grrrrr!

There is a working group that found that ptfe/pfos create toxic fumes at a much lower (300-350F) temperature than previously thought. Thank you for bringing attention to it. Many bird owners, like me, are terrified of the words "nonstick" cause if it kills them, what's it doing to us?

Thank you so much for these fantastic tips.. very helpful!! I bought a really high quality ceramic pan and love it. I wish I could afford copper pans, but they’re really expensive! My mom has some excellent cast iron pans (a few that were my grandmother’s). I have small hands. I’ve tried traditional chef’s knives, but it doesn’t feel right. I discovered that santoku knives feel better and fit better.

Refika, the best, high speed blenders can NOT have glass canisters, because the high speed regularly causes them to break/explode! Thst is why ALL great high speed blenders like e.g. the Vitamix, the Blendtec or the Norwegian brand Raw have plastic canisters/pitchers! They do become «frosted» after a good while, but it is just the very surface that gets «sanded» by the food being thrown onto it, you don’t get worrisome amounts of plastic in your food (had that been the case, the canisters would break before long rather than just look «frosted»)!

So many good ideas and tips on this video, I need to get some better stainless steel pans or maybe a couple of copper ones. Also the best thing I ever did to improve my cooking was learning to sharpen my knives properly! Makes the world of difference when they actually cut
