I've learnt from Tangled that you can also hit it in someone else's face

This is my favourite comment ❤️❤️❤️

[@gaurishyne6456]

Oh wow! You just made my day! I've never laughed so much before.

@@josephng2823 I don’t think so. She speaks Cantonese better than mandarin but idk 🤔

[@ashc3385]

There’s a BuzzFeed video of Inga and her brother eating night market food in Taiwan. From the way they talk about everything in that video, I would guess they are Taiwanese. Or at least half Taiwanese.

Ive never seen a more accurate comment This comment chef's kiss

[@hopegold883]

Agree! But also the convo! This may be the most informative yet interesting video on cast iron I’ve seen. It’s just packed with great insights and also flows so nicely and ALSO inspired me to get in the kitchen. No offense to BF, but I was really surprised.

[@pulmcritdocSJ]

Inga's expressions during Andrew's in depth analysis! 😂

[@savneetdulay2889]

Why did the “...... my airpod fell out” have me laughing for hours

[@vivienne6273]

True

[@crazyhen6456]

17:29 - 17:30

[@jasonl.1171]

Pizza, Brussel Sprouts and an Apple Tart. You know if you combine all three, that would be a pretty great meal.

[@diniehilmi6285]

Now i only need 3 cast iron pan

[@ygonz4958]

Inga and Alvin: cooking elaborate dishes. Andrew: Brussel sprouts 😂

[@9jababy1997]

I love how their thumbnails are just genuine smiles because they know we love them, as opposed to other thumbnails with the intentionally weird faces for clickbait

[@mahnoorali4102]

can i just say that im loving this style of long, serious, commentary videos where each element is discussed? it's really a refreshing break from short, rushed, forced humour type videos you see on other channels. it's also really nice because these three are obviously very skilled and well-versed in food and that knowledge and expertise shows in these types of videos more than others. 10/10 keep em coming!

[@tsdecker]

Andrew: "I never had the courage to make bread" Andrew: *Makes omurice*

[@MarisaMaria94]

You guys should definitely do a “how to take care of a a cast iron pan” I’ve always wanted one but have been way too intimidated by them! Would help me not be so scared of them haha

[@nehajaiswar1879]

Alvin did a video of using a expensive cast iron he did show how he takes care of it, in that video

[@amphibomb1762]

Everyone: peels apple normally Alvin: haha drill go brrrrrr

[@areebqureshi633]

Alvin : please Don't try this at home ... I am just a very lazy person 90% of the audience Well So am I

[@felixchen1718]

*then proceeds to spend three hours shifting the apples around the pan

[@alylolly]

im loving this "3-ways-we" series!!!

[@justmaleigh6313]

I 💜 About to Eat. It is an elevated take for the fans of Tasty and these individuals making the videos. Refined yet accessable. Very calming as well. I love listening to these 3 talking about food because they are truly passionate about every aspect.

[@lilasiansquat4526]

I like how they don't have elevator music in the background. It feels like I am a part of the conversation.

[@_daughterr]

just the way inga and alvin so deeply excited about brussel sprouts is amazing

[@julesafool]

Andrew is giving me strong Steve Jobs vibes.

[@abhiramisubhash583]

Yeah

[@fiyfrost]

Andrew always looks so stoic and I feel like he is a teacher evaluating student's work, it's kinda intimidating but in a good way😂

[@itsaps4520]

alvin and his beanie (not sure if it's a beanie or not) makes the best cooking duo :D

[@vivilikesfr1es]

12:24 this is so funny bc theyre all just staring right at you through the screen even though you know they're looking at each other on like zoom or smth its just so funny

A true Asian son.

[@syedasamara0316]

No

and opted to quit right before graduation. Impressed how his parents supported that decision

I'm from India and such a fan of you guys and the whole team of A.T.E. My mom enjoys watching your videos as well. Thank you for bringing such quality and heartfelt content. Hearing someone talk about food and cooking with passion and love is like music to my ears❤️

Absolutely love video formats like this. Everyone brings their ideas and experience to the table and while you guys are learning from each other, we’re learning from you guys too. I’m pumped for this channel. Keep it going guys. 👌🏻😚

[@zaphenath5915]

This is just the best. I love their passion for cooking it is so inspiring. Watching this while prepping lunch.

[@swabil45]

Andrew brings out all the science facts from brussel sprouts he sounds like Heston in a way

[@stacimyer-klein5387]

Brussel sprouts have changed and are not as bitter as they were in the 80's and 90's that's why so many more of us like them now. There an article on npr about it.

I've just binged the videos on this channel! It's given me a lot of ideas, like all the foodies involved as well reason why I subscribed in the first place! The pace is quite soothing too. Looking forward to learning even more!!!

[@rvclsl5097]

Is it just me but like does the vocabulary and their way of speech sound like a professor and 2 students? Hahahaha love their interaction, 3 of my favourite people in buzzfeed ❤

[@aroundtheworldinaprildays]

Love all the geeky-ness and patience I watched in this video.

[@SAmaryllis]

Love the concept of them talking through their thought processes to share with each other (and us!)

Love this trio! and all the dishes look amazing!!

The cast iron pizza is the BEST way to make pizzas at home, period. Better than a pizza stone.

[@mysticmiserly7732]

Alvin's calmed down so much. His tone of voice and demeanor There was 2020 Alvin : Then there is 2021 Alvin -

[@TheIdeaVault]

This was lovely and informative! Thank you for the inspiration!

[@swagbunny-wn5wt]

love this video formal! Love hearing them chat with the gorgeous food video!

[@johnnytsunami420]

For brussel sprouts, i feel like Andrew's goal of dehydrating the brussel sprouts could be quickly accomplished via air fryer (if you have one) and then finishing in the pan. Could be interesting. It's how i dry out the surface of steaks and meats before cast iron

[@adamglen5741]

It's the same thing with roasting coffee, that's why some of the best coffee roasters use cast iron for the drum e.g. Probat. Allows for a much more controlled transfer of energy compared to steel where the temp is likely to run away from you resulting with issues like scorching. All hail cast iron 🙌

[@KennethJLim]

This will be on the menu for my next party. You guys are such an inspiration ❤️

[@mary-zv6cu]

really like this series!!

I'm tempted to try making brussels sprouts. I want to like them so badly!

They’re not expensive. But maybe you just don’t have time to cook.

I love cast iron. Started learning how to cook with it as a museum interpreter and then as a War of 1812 reenactor. It's great for sweet or savory items. I wash mine with soap and make sure to thoroughly dry it and season it after every use, and it is nigh on indestructible. Thanks for the great video!

[@annapruitt5546]

All of these dishes look so delicious!!

I am really loving these vids. Feels a lot more artistic and genuine and also less corporate than Tasty ones

[@catherine4091]

This is a really cool idea! I feel like I learned a lot and getting to see the thought processes explained was really helpful!

[@xstar001]

Clarification: Modern dish soap is fine to use on cast iron. What you want to avoid is very acidic materials (old methods of soap production used Lye) for extended periods of time on your cast iron. Also avoid water for prolonged periods of time. Correction: sorry, mixed it up. Still, very acidic and very basic compounds are not good for cast iron.

[@violetskies14]

Lye is basic not acidic.

[@user-lv6rn9cf8m]

I find that the only thing a cast iron pan is absolutely essential for is pancakes. Seen some videos where people are doing pancakes in like Teflon pans - and without any butter. Like, if you do that you're missing the whole point of pancakes. The flavor comes from the butter. For steaks, hamburgers and stuff sure, but you can get a good result with stainless steel too.

[@Merendino666]

I like this series. Please continue it. I liked how all of you had some knowledge or lacked other areas of skill. Absolutely no fake content. I am a huge fan.

[@zabrielleholloway2662]

[@trashraccoon2635]

i hope alvin's apple drill becomes a regular in this channel. we all love chaotic kitchen appliances here.

[@bsjeffrey]

you could do a video. blind taste test with the bay leaf. cook 1 dish with and 1 dish without and have people guess which is which.

yes!! this convinced me to buy a cast iron. amazing content so far on the channel guys!!
