ChefSteps Twenty-Four-Layer Lasagna

Grant’s grilled from-scratch lasagna, shot in The Before Time (Feb 2020). chfstps.co/lasagna
Want to take this lasagna to the next level? Bake the lasagna, refrigerate it overnight (or, let’s be honest, refrigerate the last bit of lasagna after eating well with your friends or family), then slice it up. Have you ever eaten seared slices of lasagna?

I'm convinced that this man has lost the sense of touch in his fingers

[@BullShitThat]

Chef hands

[@kimchiburger7844]

I don't have any feeling on 4 fingers and I've only been a pro chef for 7 years

[@yuhboris304]

most chefs and cooks don't because they're always exposing their hands to high heat

[@karu6111]

lol, not a chef, but I'm the home cook of my big family and I thought I had "chef hands," "asbestos hands", leather knuckles whatever... until, some weeks ago, I accidentally touched a preheating, stainless mixing bowl beside the hob and it basically fried the skin on my palm lol, it stuck when I hurriedly lift my hand lol... so yeah, that kept me out of the kitchen for some time lol... like when you have your first crash on the motorcycle. I'm convinced that "chef hands" is basically nerve damage lol.

[@karu6111]

pls have a rag on your waist at all times for cleaning and touching hot stuff, callouses are not oven mitts lol

[@sightfire]

The sear is brilliant. Looks great and I can just imagine that cheesy crunch

[@tonythemedtravels]

Never thought of placing freshly made/cooked lasagna in the refrigerator, then slice and sear before serving 😮

[@rufmor1]

me neither. I'm going to try it the next time

[@fb079]

Grant grinding the cheese gave me so much anxiety I really thought he was about to lose a finger.

[@AlexanderGee]

Right?! @chefsteps If I buy a subscription can you guys use that money to buy Grant some kind of cheese pushing stick?

[@JungleScene]

as a butcher who has heard horror stories about meat grinders, this was giving me anxiety. I think he was probably good because of how deep the chute is but you never know....

[@BullShitThat]

I've used this machine before, your fingers aren't long enough to reach the grinding instrument/ apparatus from the top hole. It's deceptively long!

[@jiv32]

Me too. Once I chopped the top of my finger off trying to push some vegetable into a food processor.

[@psrabe7444]

@@BullShitThat Just as a rule for a youtube channel teaching people how to cook, they should just not be teaching people to stick there fingers into any machine. Someone might have a grinder that has a shorter feeder tube.

[@DevendraSalvi_1208]

So glad to see you guys back here!

[@tyghr]

I love hearing chefs talk about how food changes during the cooking process. The love and attention they give to it is infectious. Thanks Grant and Team ChefSteps for what you do.

[@miguelrico9924]

I met a guy who had been cooking for 40 years, he'd do it with oil to see if it was hot enough to fry. Can't recommend

[@lupierz]

Welcome back! Good to see you doing awesome food again!

[@Kavriel]

It looks amazing. I really like the chillin' and grillin' stage it looks awesome on the side with sauce underneath. Really cool but really involved recipe.

[@tom_something]

A lot of times people get all excited about the crispy bits of pasta on the edges. I always found them to be hard and tacky, and they stick to my molars like glue. But that was with dried pasta. I recently had lasagna with fresh egg pasta, and it was amazing. Crispy, with a toasty flavor, and almost sort of flaking apart like pastry. So good. Getting those sheets nice and thin is crucial.

[@GothicPotato2]

Damn, I have to say that final shot looks absolutely amazing. I wasn't totally into the idea of searing slices, but after seeing the final results this shifted the recipe from a "maybe one day" to an absolute must.

[@abolijoshi5668]

those last few shots of the seared lasagna pulled tears from my eyes might have to make this

I like this Chef, he is really fun to watch cook

This looks mega tasty. Ive never made my own pasta before but this seems like the perfect recipe to give it a go.

[@angelagriffin5130]

OMG caramelized lasagna! Those ending shots. I want!

[@josephmarciano4761]

It's a pleasure to watch a trained and experienced craftsman at work. He could be building violins, but he just happens to be making lasagna. This dude has forgotten more than most chefs will ever know.

[@anthonymedwid1468]

The ending of this video really made me smile

[@yannick8173]

Grant drops so much in depth food science knowledge in thee videos. When he said béchamel is one of the mother sauces that he agrees with I wondered wich he doesn't agree with and why. I'd buy his book if he wrote one 😂

[@TimoBirnschein]

Chefsteps videos, man... Now I want to make lasagna again! Properly this time :D

[@gustavowoltmann1623]

that looks so good, I really want to taste them !!

[@coasttal123]

The problem I have is that bringing out of the fridge it is cold. Just searing it leaves the inside cold. Once it starts heating up in the pan, the layers then want to slide apart.

[@0fficialRatedR]

amazing. best lasagna recipe on youtube YET and I've seen em all lol

[@Ascketism]

Clearly you haven't or you don't understand lasagna.

Got myself a Joule from Grant-a Claus (CrillyClaus, is that anything?) for Christmas last year and I’ve been loving it. Turned Short Ribs into great bbq and did the indoor smoked brisket that was well worth the wait!

[@HarrySKeith]

Great stuff, love it!

[@thedivide3688]

That is heaven! Lasagna is my favorite food...and this is GLORIOUS!!!

[@RizieriMCELLI]

Ho visto cucinare le lasagne ma mai in questo modo. Non capisco perché cosí tanti strati; per mia esperienza, non si usa il pomodoro passato frullato con aglio ma, invece, il ragù, già cotto; gli spinaci non li ho mai visti mettere, ma potrebbe anche non esser una cattiva idea: va provato; se ho ben capito, ha lessato il basilico: ad occhio non sarebbe una buona idea: perde sapore; comunque non credo che vada messo; le lasagne si mangiano subito, mai viste ripassarle in padella una volta fredde: al più se avanzano, ma allora è meglio il forno a microonde. Poi, chiaramente, ciascuno faccia un po’ cosa vuole.

[@husseinhammouda8294]

I love it it’s looks very nice

[@vikassm]

Nice lasagna.. I'm new to this channel. Watched this video right after the one where you make veggie demi glacé... Huh that's the same guy but a totally different person.. And realized they were shot 5 years apart 😂😂😂 subbed.

[@rachel.the.riveter]

I made this recipe when it was first posted back in February. I've made it 3 times since. But, I'm about to take it up a notch. I bought a full-size 6-inch tall hotel pan. Saturday, we shall feast on the biggest lasagna I've ever made. And will be glorious!

[@mkbijnaam8713]

after you seared it in a pan it basically became Turkish su boregi , In Turkey we bake something simmilair with dough cooked in water then stacked in a pan and then baked with alot of clearified butter so it gets a nice crust

[@dusksimulator]

grant please leave chefsteps and open a restaurant. i can see this lasagne on a restaurant menu it would be amazing

[@shaunny0208]

Came here for the lasagne but left here with a huge crush on Chef Grant 🤤

[@CaptainC0rrupt]

You never cease to wow us ! Thank you for earning my appreciation(and money lol)

[@cupcake702]

I can’t imagine anyone would have the patience to put their freshly baked lasagna in the fridge, wait for it to set, then cut it and sear it

[@feastmode7931]

solution: eat a massive portion hot out the oven at 7p, then another massive slab seared in a pan at 1am

[@MagicRich]

im going to try this next week! but with beef lasagne!

[@coljar100]

wow! that looked epic....

[@maliunevadi]

Great man! I do this searing hack with my leftover lasagna, when I want to make special treat for myself, but from now on I'll do that regulary for everyone. ;)

I always appreciate a chef who doesn't mind wearing a dishwasher shirt

[@Peip692]

One of your best videos. I'm really inspired by the techniques that you used for this gorgeous lasagna!

[@olilane8]

@chefsteps surely when you sear it out of the fridge the center is not piping hot? How are you ensuring you have perfect internal temp throughout?

[@tawpgk]

That was my first thought. Even if you brought it up to room temp first, I think it still would be too cold.

[@jordy46682]

Sear in pan, then place pan in oven for 10-15 mins until hot! 😉

[@Scumcore]

I fully agree on a dryer lasagne and prefer to cook it the day before as well. What most people here (The Netherlands) call lasagne is nothing more then a oven dish filled with a gooey tasteless tomato sauce and some floating bits of overcooked pasta. I love this recipe, though my Italian friends would probably prefer their mother’s/hometown version of lasagne (just like every other recipe 🙄).

[@Persiancouplelife]

Came for the food, left cuz of the whistling

[@crisdelbarrio]

Wait, no sous vide? Tought this was Chefsteps.

[@lilfiz]

What kind of oven do they use?

[@amaridias4478]

Very very Clean Lasagne id love to try this style. But we have to take the Parmesan and put it into the Béchamel 😏

[@edwardssistershands]

That's what I do. Which is then called a mornay.

[@charlesreed5839]

Having a trouble with his narration style and the video has more edits than a Jason Bourne fight scene, but this recipe and the finishing sear on the lasagna look pretty damn good.

[@ivanvrg14]

You should consider put a whistle counter in this video

[@vaeiou]

is there a reason why you don't sear both sides?

[@Nope22119]

lasagna usually has way too much sauce and vegetables and other crap in it. i just want the super thin wide noodles! this is my kinda lasagna

I’m so jealous of chef because I can’t whistle. ☹️ And I’ve been doing lasagna all wrong. lol

[@bergamt]

Step one: get out your giant pasta machine that is fully the width of your lasagna pan

[@e735star]

use a bread loaf pan, then this tip totally works!!!

[@OutOfNamesToChoose]

@@e735star You genius! It's deeper, too! Definitely going to try that

[@Nada-by3zz]

@@e735star this is in fact genius!! I once made lasagne for one by using a loaf pan and having the rest the next day. I came back from a match (starving) and had completely forgot about it and it made my day. Completely irrelevant story but, MAKE LASAGNE IN A LOAF PAN AND THANK ME LATER :))))
