You can also reduce splatter by putting your Asus Visiomatic2000 Laptop on your pan. It’s bio resistant and probably food safe.

Careful using a lid when frying in oil! The steam condensers on the lid and when you go to remove the lid the water often falls into the pan causing a big explosion of spatter.

[@salikabbasi5448]

Quick tip: If you use a foaming dispenser for your dish soap you can wash a great many things a lot easier, ESPECIALLY sieves and grated things of all sorts. Taking a sponge to it might not work crazy well but a bunch of foam will sit and penetrate and cover a larger surface area. Pretty great for cleaning windows, surfaces and mirrors too. Gives you a very visual idea of how much area you've covered without using too much detergent/soap.

[@teknophyle1]

this one felt like more like an ad than your usual sponsored content.

[@floramew]

I am literally phobic of frying oil popping and burning me, but trying to work on it. I *knew* this about hot oil + water, but didn't occur to me that even that slightly damp would make such a difference when frying it, thanks so much for the extra help 👍

[@garrettlundeen2982]

It's beyond me how Adam can always incorporate a non cooking sponsor into a cooking video, truly an underrated skill

[@thehaymaker3660]

I'm never really too bothered about Adam's sponors (the man has a family to feed) but this is one of the worst videos he's ever done. Pretty obvious tips and observations if you're an experienced home cook, and half the video is just shilling a sub par product. Like the whole antibacterial element would of been perfect for his last video re lactic fermentation but it's like they couldn't reach an agreement in time.

[@theprinceofinadequatelighting]

If anyone else wrote and presented this it would seem contrived but as the other comments demonstrate, Adam somehow manages to sell a laptop using yeast. Bravo.

[@brandoncullen4189]

Never thought I'd hear Adam talk about AMD but that's pretty cool

[@ThePersmo]

In addition to the splatter guard I also place a paper towel on it. I've noticed that some fat particles get through the guard and just a simple sheet of paper prevents that and is easy to throw away after you're done.

[@lexinwonderland5741]

hey, nice pfp!

[@custos3249]

Been experimenting with this for years since I _hate_ stove cleanup and I'm generally stuck with electric ovens. My go-to these days is to slow it all down and reduce. I cook from frozen to help reduce overcooking using a pan lid and try to both use the steaming aspect to my advantage and attempt to limit it's impact. Reducing the heat from medium to a tick to a tick and a half below has worked to give me that deep crust before anything burns. The steam then poaches the upper side which gives it a jump start for searing. And as a bonus, I've found it makes for a great stove top braise for beef and especially pork. Works wonders with frozen burgers too.

[@johnnypenso9574]

Thanks Adam. A real game changer for me is dry aging meat. Just leave it uncovered in the fridge for a few days, preferably on a wire grid of some kind. Flip after a day or two if you want. I salt and pepper most things first which also helps the drying process. At first I did it for just roasts, leg of lamb etc. but then I started doing it with sliced pork bellies, sausages, burger patties etc. No water in your meat means zero splatter and a crispier, drier crust or browning.

[@jayj4705]

Do you find it dries out the meat? My only worry for doing that

[@johnnypenso9574]

@@jayj4705 It dries out the crust of the meat, yes but inside it's the same. Now the thinner your meat like sliced pork belly for eg. the more likely it is to dry right through but it's the water that's leaving not the fat. All I can say is try it a couple of times and you might like it or you might not. In my experience getting your larger cuts of meat to remain juicy is mostly based on cooking temp, method and letting the meat rest before cutting.

[@vincentnguyen3068]

@@jayj4705 need longer than a few days to have a tiny effect on the inside of most meats and by then it'd be more a good thing cause it won't be that much drier but much much tastier since it's just a little water that evaporated and not the other components that make up the meat juices.

[@jayj4705]

Thanks both!

[@photoklarno]

This is dry brining, not aging. Aging requires some microbial activity to happen, and this doesn’t happen appreciably in a fridge over just a few days. I don’t like dry brining a steak past about 2 days because it takes on an increasingly ham-like texture due to the salt denaturing the proteins

[@incorporealnuance]

[@hatandcaneproductions4877]

This has to be the most Adam ad demonstration ever XD Trust bread, not scientists.

[@Boulder_Bill]

Adam is the king of taking a sponsor and making it fit perfectly into his videos without making it feel like an advertisement. He took what could've been a throw away line in a video about something as mundane as food splattering and managed to fit the laptop in seamlessly. And it worked because now I want to go and buy this antimicrobial laptop.

[@ntlespino]

Would never have put laptop maker on the list of possible sponsors for this channel, but this one works well.

[@CallenceGaming]

Adam: "video editing is one of the toughest tests you can throw at a processor" It really is. As someone who's been video editing for the past 6 years now, yeah. Having a slow processor really slows down editing. I think this is one of the better sponsors, and one I may consider looking into in the near future (my current laptop is getting old and slowing down).

[@uniworkhorse]

[@ataready8810]

As a computer nerd, this laptop also happens to be a pretty good choice. Ryzen processors on laptops are power efficient so the 6900H is going to be less hotter than similarly powerful intel CPUs. Asus is a brand that produces good build quality laptops too.

[@Mornal]

This is such a funny ad video cuz the topic has absolutely nothing to do with the product so it's just this jarring back and forth where its jumping between 2 different videos like they're an A and B plot lmao Not complaining, you deserve to get that bag it's just funny to watch

often dry brine cucumber, tomato, or any number of veg to reduce the water content. do it in a civ over a bowl in the fridge to collect the liquids. great way to build a base veg broth.

[@helioline1532]

The _really_ crazy thing about Adam is the continuity in his videos. Talk about lacto-fermentation one day, make an unrelated video about preventing oil splatters less than a week later. Okay, cool. Then the ad break starts, and he busts out the yeast demo, mentioning that the keyboard coating was tested with E.coli bacteria in the lab. What’s the topic of next video we get? Shiga toxin-producing E.coli! With the same lady from the fermentation video, to boot! I love that shit right there. Never change, Adam.

[@dereinzigwahreRichi]

That was the opposite of the smoothest sponsor transitions you've ever seen, that Adam usually does: he confronted us with a laptop and mostly oily kitchen splatter as a problem right at the start and I was damn curios how he'd do that arc of storytelling. And in the end he even didn't really do that but made a cooking technique video with an integrated ad while getting paid for an infomercial,I guess. That man is a genious! :⁠-⁠D

[@PatrickVogelius]

Did I really just watch a 7-minute-long ad for ASUS and AMD disguised as cooking advice? 😳

[@mal10000]

I've found that splatter guards still let a lot of splatter through. The best thing I've used is a Frywall. Looks absurd, but it's very effective and fits easily in the dishwasher.

[@danielchang3213]

Excellent articulation between content and sponsor advertising

[@Kabitu1]

That actual answer is to fry in a butter/oil mixture. The butter contains an emulsifier that lets water droplets mix into the oil instead of laying on top, and it forms a foam that catches any splatter. I've never understood why anyone would fry anything in just oil, I've never seen it add anything to the process that oil/butter can't replicate.

[@dagfinissocool]

I used to do the same but if I want a crispy exterior like fried chicken it's better to use plain oil. You don't put butter in youjr deep fryer..

I have the same splatter guard and I've found that the edges burn/melt if I use it at high heat on my gas stove. My workaround is partially covering the pan with a pot lid.

[@lizcademy4809]

I have several things I cook that I can't dry enough to prevent splatter. I use a normal pan lid, and put it on the pan askew, so it traps most of the splatter but lets all the steam go. I angle the lid so the splatter goes where I want, usually to the middle of the stovetop. After eating, I use a damp microfiber rag to wipe up the splatter. No cleanser needed, the microfiber picks everything up. Over my years of cooking, I've gotten plenty of micro-burns on my hands and arms. They're barely noticeable when you get them, and heal in a minute or so.

I will use a lid on a frying pan because it's nearby and I probably want to use it later anyway. I just put the lid offset a little. It lets the steam right out but traps most of the spatter. (There will be a small section that isn't captured but just point that toward some easy to clean direction.
