Watch My Mom Clean & Cook Chitterlings | Aunt Bessie’s Chitterlings

[@Battlegris]

I make those at a small factory in a small town called Sæby in Denmark. Glad to see you like how clean they are, it takes a lot of skill to do.

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

They are the best! Thanks for watching 😊

[@thelog86]

Alright since you work there could you verify that aunt bessie is a different product than whats in those buckets. Aunt Bessie is the cecum sac thats why they are closed on one end unlike regular chitterlings which is opened on both ends. Aunt bessie is like a sock and is a different part of the intestine. Am i correct?

[@BettyKing-d8k]

Hi Shonda & Mom, I just cooked a bag Aunt Bessie's today. They were a very nice clean bag I got. I use baking soda + white or red vinegar to clean mine and I use ice cubes & a frozen bottle water to keep them cold while cleaning, I🎉 repeat wash 2-3 xs. I use red & Orange bell pepper, onions, small red potatoes, garlic powder, blk pepper, Goya Adobo all purpose seasons,, 1/2 chicken cube, 2/5th chicken broth & a dap of, SaZO'N GoYA orange color season to taste, Parsley Flakes, 1 lg. Or med.Bay Leaf, and I boil them 2xs with a white potato 1 in pot and 1 over the top of the steam hole, I then return to stove to cook after cleaning, with red potatoes all the season's & you talking bout sooo Delicious 😋 OH Yes!!!! Just wanted to share ❤

I am not in the chitterling world, but isn't the membrane supposed to be removed regardless of how clean the chitterling appears?

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

Several people have said they do not remove it. I guess it’s up to preference 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@angelawilliams4483]

You must remove the membranes/ inner lining!!😢

[@jacquezyon]

It’s personal preference. Been eating them with the membrane since I was a kid.

[@thelog86]

NO. the only reason people are used to the old school red bucket, those are so dirty you had to take the membrane off in order to get all the dirt off. In the old days that was the process so thsts how people continue to do it today because thats how they were taught with the red bucket

[@blane6592]

I don’t remove the membrane…that’s how I was taught growing up. Taking out the membrane makes them a really slimy texture imo.

[@FoodamentaryAdventuresinFood]

I grew up eating chittlins but haven’t had them in years. My folks used to buy the red bucket chittlins. I’m sure they wished they’d had some Aunt Bessie’s. Those things were clean! Thanks for sharing!

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

It’s been years for me as well. One red bucket scarred me for life. That’s all I needed to experience. Thanks for watching 😊

[@SheWhoDivinelySpeaks]

Yes. I grew up on the red buckets as a child. I even remember the horror of cleaning the ones in the red bucket trying to help my mom for Christmas dinner. These were so easy to clean I got 5 bags and they were very clean, just membrane layer needing to be removed. And some membranes would come off with one pull. These were by far the easiest brand for me to clean.

[@optionout]

@@CookinWTaShondaRenae 🤣🤣🤣 I hear that! I do chitllins every other year or so. Two years ago couldn't get Bessie's so did the red bucket. MY GOD, Took THREE 1/2 HOURS! And the stuff you picked out....!!! But to be honest, after all the trouble, mine are still GREAT tasting.

Aunt Bessie chitterlings are the best to cook for thanksgiving because it takes less time to clean and cook. I don't use salt because some of my family have high blood pressure so no salt i let them add it on th there own. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. They look good.

People still take the lining off purely because thats how they were taught. I was taught like that also. Aunt bessie is a totally different product so it requires a different cleaning pro ess. And to me when you remove all the membrane your removing most of the flavor. I do it both ways depending on which product im working with

Hey Mary! I can’t imagine cleaning 60-70 pounds but my grandmother does the same. Thanks so much for watching 😊

[@bigvalley4987]

My older cousin Mother in law had 13 children with her husband. Her daughter stated that she use to start cleaning chittlins in September for Thanksgiving. She prepared a huge amount.

[@fabfab5450]

For me, it makes sense to buy the 10 pound bucket rather than Aunt Bessie's given that I will still clean off the membrane in Aunt Bessie's and only end up with 2-3 pounds of hers when I can still end up with 5-6 pounds after cleaning the bucket. The work in cleaning them is worth it with the finished product, plus I've only paid a fraction of the cost.

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

In my area the red bucket is the same price as Aunt Bessie’s. Sometimes even more. This year they were up to $30 per bucket. The Aunt Bessie’s is worth it for the smell alone. I understand your sentiments though.

[@fabfab5450]

[@user-dn6ku7db7t]

After the first cooking you supposed rinse the chitterlings again before cooking them completely. The reason for the first cooking process is to make sure everything clinging is completely off.

[@tiffanyflynn7612]

😂😂😂 your mom said she's not making soup she's making chitterlings I totally agree I omit the onion only because I've never had them that way and just use salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes simple and delicious! Thanks for video #looksdelish

So true!

[@helenmayberry6010]

Not sure who will be eating chitterlings this year they have them from 29-50 00.. a bucket...ridiculous

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

It truly is ridiculous

[@sundaewilbourn7618]

Not where I get mine from

[@patricelake8290]

Remove the whole membrane not just the corn

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

It was removed 😊

[@grkman3886]

Soak'em in a little clotox overnight.

[@sundaewilbourn7618]

Still not funny. Get a day job

[@TristanGardner-q7u]

19.95 how much our they now

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

I think they are around the same price in my area.

[@ceeceecurrie4875]

I take the membrane off

[@maxineblocker3537]

You take the membrane off and you get tissue.

[@twixbar90]

So aunt Bessie didn’t have membranes?

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

They did. She took them off. Thanks for watching!

[@liiaclondon]

I dnt do this brand. The texture is like paper and never seems to get tender. It’s a strong no for me. I’ll just clean the Smithfield ones that come in a red bucket.

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

Oh wow! We’ve never experienced that and we’ve been using this brand for many years. Thanks for watching!

[@rosvittarobinson5567]

No you not cleaning the chitterlings right

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

Ok. Thanks for watching

[@margaretenglish1110]

Must remove membrane

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

@@margaretenglish1110 it was removed from each piece. Thanks for watching.

[@sundaewilbourn7618]

How you gonna tell this lady hers not right when it’s most likely you’re doing yours wrong that’s why you can’t eat everybody cooking

[@patricelake8290]

AUNTS Bessies are the pre- cleaned chitterlings. DO 3 PRE BOILS BEFORE YOU START THE REAL COOKING PROCESS

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

You keep doing that for yours! Thanks for watching 😊

[@troypurnell7479]

It's only a cup full after you clean them,not really worth the trouble

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

That’s true!

[@sundaewilbourn7618]

It’s more than that

[@russellspencer4889]

Aunt Bessies and Smithfields Food Aka {Red Bucket) are the same Google it FYI

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

No, they are not. They are manufactured by Symington's. Totally different company. If you’ve ever had Aunt Bessie’s, you know they are absolutely different than what’s in the red bucket. Aunt Bessie’s look like a sock compared to Smithfield’s.

[@RobinHudson-rt1fr]

[@courtneyhawkins1158]

Yes you do pill the membrane off all chitterlings please correct that

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

That’s what you do. Thanks for watching! 😊

[@sundaewilbourn7618]

That’s your choice. And it’s peel not pill while you trying to tell people how to cook what don’t make you shit. Learn to know the difference with some words sounding the same yet spelled different

[@lesleytenner8015]

Ain't no way I would eat them and she's not Getting all the membrane off them

[@AngelaTribble-w2r]

never put black pepper on them cause it looks like boo boo-used white pepper :)

[@sundaewilbourn7618]

That wasn’t necessary you must use the whole bottle of pepper

[@cliffordrucker5443]

Would never eat chillins that you cook

[@CookinWTaShondaRenae]

I would never eat chitterlings that you cook, so there’s that! Thanks for watching 😊
