James - Something I do when making a bechamel or whatever, cook the flour out in the butter, and then remove the roux from the heat for a minute, maybe two. You can always find a few things to do for a few minutes, while you let it cool. Then, add the milk, whisk as usual, and I assure you, cooling the roux a bit, greatly helps to avoid lumps, or even graininess. Fun vid, btw. This is my second viewing, as I'm soon to try my hand at croquettes. We used to make them when I was a kid, but nothing really like yours. More the size of a tater tot, made with Campbell's Cream of Chicken soup, Andy Warhol style (of course), with some shredded bird, but all sorts of leftover vegs and stuff. We'd scoop it out with a spoon, as if making Drop Biscuits, then we'd drop it into a bowl of bread crumbs, then toss them in the deep oil pan. It was a very organic and free form result, sort of like dripping hot wax into cold water. Pretty good use of leftovers, with a can of soup, for a couple of pre-adolescents kids, I'd say, and it was pretty good fun, making and eating, as well. Sorry to go 'on' James, but your vid stirred the pot. I'm gonna do it, right after crepes, so not today.

Cool that you use a Wüsthof, bro! I like those knives. Very beautiful, perfectly balanced, and the hardness level is right for me, unlike most carbon steel from Japan. But Wüsthofs are pricey, eh? I'm cheap, so I bought a Zwilling J.A. Henckels Pro S clone, made my IVO in Portugal. Same Solingen steel...but waaaaay cheaper. To be honest, though, my most used knife is the one you saw in my latest video: my $14 Santoku. Hahaha
@ChefJamesMakinson3 жыл бұрын
haha real Henckels and Wüsthofs are not that pricy compared to Japanese knives, but Wüsthofs has one of the most comfortable and i love my chef knife but i have used it so much that the blade had worn down! and its stainless steel but it is softer than the Japanese knives. the Japanese ones are better to use for fine work like Garde manger but the metal is more brittle and they are a lot more expensive than Wüsthof. more than once my friend's knives were stolen at work because they had the top of the line knives. which I would NEVER take to work! by the way, I have a 5 euro chef knife from IKEA that works just fine! and sharpens easier than my Wüsthof! haha ;)

@@ChefJamesMakinson ¡Hombre, somos el mismo typo de persona! ¡Jajajajajaja! Everything you said here, looks like it was taken DIRECTLY out of my brain, man! And, when I lived in Japan, I got to handle an actual 200 year old Samurai's sword, shown to me by a collector. He took me through all the steps of caring for a blade like that, and while it was super cool to have the privilege, it really opened my eyes to the type of mentality behind Japanese blade smithing. Putting aside the fact that I refuse to spend the big bucks for Japanese steel, I also avoided it on purpose, because I can't be bothered to care for it properly. I felt your pain when you told me about working in 50 degree heat. I have experience working in restaurants (not like you, of course!) and I have exactly 0.00% desire to spend even one second more in a cooking-for-business environment. For me, cooking is my joy that I share with Thunderjack (and my other friends) on Saturday nights, while we drain a bottle of Pino Grigio or Zinfandel. Hahaha... I can't deal with the pressure and noise of a pro environment. Man, it would be great if we didn't live so far from each other. You seem like a SUPER cool dude to hang out with, eh? It would be a BLAST to cook with you, like when I am with Thunderjack.
