For the matcha I'd add one little commentary: even if your matcha doesn't leave that fine line and isn't as brightly green, it doesn't necessarily mean it's fake. More often than not it would mean it's either lower quality or it's old (it slowly oxidates when contacting air).

[@krk6216]

Yup! Culinary matcha is lowest quality and most muddy looking. Ceremonial is highest quality and the most green. There’s an intermediate quality you can use for either drinking or baking

[@rich1051414]

It's fairly easy to tell the difference. Matcha has a much sharper bitter bite to it than regular green tea. The process makes it more concentrated in flavor and caffeine, and you can taste it. Even if it's slightly old and turned brown.

[@ShinyStarfire]

My first thought was: "Why did the glass Nutella jar melt?" Well, didn't know it is a plastic jar in Australia. In Europe we only have glass Nutella jars.

[@guichabanaano27]

Yeah my thoughts exactly I was confused at first and briefly thought that microwaves could melt glass😂. And in the original video it is a glass jar.

[@Megillena]

Yeah, exactly. At first I thought that maybe the label was some kind of plastic wrapping, not the paper one like we have, but then it hit me... It's not a glass jar. I wouldn't recommend putting anything with paper label in the microwave anyway.

[@Oniosagi]

My thoughts exactly. I wasn't aware that they are plastic anywhere tbh. Are the small ones then plastic too cause I love using them as small glasses after.

[@valiroime]

Plastic jars in the states as well.

[@maureensamson4863]

And ? Are those glass jars certified microwave safe ??

[@Zola790]

In Germany, every Nutella glass is still made of glass. But also with a glass jar, the cake would be burned to stone after 15 min in the microwave

[@claes9]

Yeah was thinking the same, its clear they use the glass variant of Nutella. And its very common trick to put milk in those, directly in microvawe and you have a very unhealthy choclate milk .. but used every bit of the nutella in the glass.

[@CroobieLetter]

I tossed a glass Nutella jar in the microwave for an mug cake once (not for 15min I am not an animal) and the glue of the label started smelling and stinking. So if you want to try this, remove the label first.

[@martinerhard8447]

[@CircleThinker]

We have glass Nutella jars in the UK and my partner's favourite trick for them when we're almost out is to fill them with milk and microwave them for a couple of mins - gives a quick and easy hot chocolate and makes the jars sooo much easier to clean for recycling. I'm genuinely surprised Ann attempted 15 mins in a plastic pot at all! RIP microwave 😂

In the EU, it’s illegal to sell washed eggs and instead farms vaccine against salmonella. And since they don’t wash and remove the protective coating on the eggs they are safe to store at room temperature. Keeping them in the fridge just helps to prolong their shelf life.

[@EvaLitzenberg]

I was coming on to say the same. European eggs keep at room temperature for a good few weeks, but certainly not for a year.

[@yazdhenab.]

@@EvaLitzenberg No, but you can eat them few days after the date, not raw of course, but with the good cooking, it's safe

[@erenedransfeldt7555]

To add to this, Danish chickens and eggs are salmonella free, and have been for a couple of years. Eating them raw might now be the nicest option, but you could do it in theory. (but please don't actually do it).

[@frith.calluna]

Was going to say the exact same thing! That washed egg segment definitely made me raise an eyebrow for a bit.

[@joa8593]

Japan used to do this, but they had a bad salmonella outbreak. Now they have a robot with tiny hammers that checks for cracks and disinfectant them in addition to vaccine programs. (Note that the Japanese do eat raw eggs regularly so the safety requirement is much higher than in either the US or EU).

[@MurphMunster]

On the topic of air chilled vs. water chilled chicken. I worked in a kitchen for several years and this topic was brought up at one point. We asked the head chef why he used water chilled chicken in some recipes and air chilled in others. His way of explaining it was to base your recipe on how the meat was chilled. Air chilled had a lower water content and was better for dishes that required it to be cooked in liquid i.e. boiled, sauteed or sous-vied. While a water chilled chicken would have a better end result when grilled or roasted, due to it being able to afford loosing some water. A good chef, as he explained, will take the preparation of meat into consideration when creating the dish. For most of us home chefs the chilling method is borderline irrelevant. I love the videos you make and just wanted to throw my two cents out there.

[@jessicavallee3831]

Your two cents are much appreciated!

I admit to have used "Kalkeier" or Eggs in Lime for baking quite often - whenever there were surplus eggs, we used to put them into the jar and then removed them when needed - my grandma even warned that they were only for baking as otherwise "bad things might happen"

[@Meli_monster]

Grandma got good advice. Thanks for the info.

[@kieramaccourt8717]

Don't forget that here in the US the eggs bought are pasturized--which makes them NEED refrigeration. Not that I agree with eggs in lime, but the average person would see that, decide to try it, and run out to the store to get some eggs--NOT out into the yard where they have their chickens to get fresh eggs. While this may have been ok in days prior to refrigeration and in some circumstances--people at that time did the best they could with what they had. They also knew how to use what they had. The average "I want to try this because I saw it on the internet" person really has no idea about what is different about how food was treated in the past, and how food is treated for market in these days.

[@lethfuil]

@@kieramaccourt8717 Very good point, with the pasteurisation in the US! In my european countries (yes, I live in two, basically) that's not a thing. The quality and safety of eggs is pretty high and those that are still within the "best before" time can be eaten raw without much risk (Americans often know that about Japan, but it's the same for many european countries). They don't need refrigeration (unless they already where put into a refrigerator, which some stores do for fuck knows reason) and are good for at least two months (after the best before date they should be cooked through though), possibly much longer. But, as you said, in places where this isn't the case and pasteurisation of eggs is a common thing, old methods will never work and a refrigerator is the only(!) valid method.

[@hypothalapotamus5293]

I'm half Chinese. When I think of chemically preserved eggs, I think of the "century egg". It involves someone coating the egg in an alkaline sludge of quicklime, ash, and salt. During this process, the egg itself turns either black or yellow, with branches of crystallizing salt in them (It solidifies as well). Is this sort of what Kalkeier eggs are or are they more like ordinary eggs?

[@swirlingabyss]

@@kieramaccourt8717 US eggs are not pasteurized, they're washed. This limits salmonella, but means the eggs cannot be left out at room temperature.

[@Rik77]

I really love how you illustrate really simply that just because a process is traditional and found in old books, doesn't mean its good. We have an obsession these days with assuming traditional methods are always best.

[@Red-Tape-Rending]

Hear, hear!

[@starcherry6814]

Guilty

[@MeagenImage]

If a traditional method of preservation has any advantages over refridgeration, it'll most likely just continue to be used alongside. Like how we still have cheese and pickled vegetables, even though we technically don't "need" them if we can just have fresh milk and vegetables year-round.

[@chucklesdeclown8819]

Well the thing is the majority of the channels that showed off the egg thing were homesteaders which I wouldn't be surprised if some of em don't have electricity or don't have methods of getting it( even if that's one of your top priorities of making one, maybe not first priority, first to third is food, water, shelter. Electricity is like 4th or 5th on that list but even then all of those should of been solved), but that leads to my other question is why don't they use older refrigeration methods like making a cold room by digging into the earth or even using more pickling or dry-aging methods instead of that specific method that only seems to deal with the bacteria on the outside, it just seems like a waste of time and whatever money they make to do that when we have tech that can make cold rooms better and tools that can help us dig deeper. It's not that I mind homesteaders or I don't think traditional methods couldn't work in a pinch but the future is now old man.

[@Ea-Nasir_Copper_Co]

At higher latitudes chickens stop laying eggs in the winter unless they're kept under electric lights. Also, some people live in places where you simply can't keep chickens because it's too inhospitable. There are communities in northern Canada where the grocery barge comes in only once or twice a year.

@@skinnypotato4452 The chlorine is for hygiene reasons - there's been a lot of debate on this issue in the UK since Brexit as the EU bans chlorinated chicken but the USA (our biggest potential trade partner) doesn't. The EU's ban is because they argue it's used to cover up unhygienic practices in chicken-rearing so they instead encourage hygiene practices from the start. Chlorinated chicken is actually cheaper, simply because it allows farmers to skimp on hygiene conditions so they can sell it for cheaper.

Chlorine treatment was outlawed in 1997 out of fear that prolonged micro dosing of chlorine could cause cancer. Overall we're very touchy about using anything that hasn't been extensively tested. That and the fact that blasting chickens once they're dead could be used to hide mistreatment of live birds.

@@GorkoTheArchaeologist it's not as simple as that. Yes, you can microwave things for longer periods, but the settings for things like chickens turn the microwaves off intermittently, so they aren't being microwaved continuously, then back on again to continue cooking. It's the same with 'defrost' settings. Continueous microwaves create huge amounts of heat by 'exciting' the water molecules in food. This causes 'hot spots' which means you get a chicken that's overcooked in some places, and raw still in others. The intermittent microwaveing lets the heat disperse throughout the chicken, cooking it evenly by convection,as well as micro (and stops things getting TOO hot like it did here, melting the plastic) Still not great though, very pale chicken with 'soggy' slimey skin🥴

Yeah in Australia and North America we get plastic. It doesn’t taste the same as European Nutella either. Just like our Haribos don’t have any real fruit, spice, or wine flavor and the textures are often completely wrong, like our blue smurfs are very chewy gummies whereas the german ones are soft and somewhere between a gummy bear and a sour patch kid, so I only buy it if I chance across a pack that has the slogan in German. Our Fanta is sweet instead of tasting tart and like fresh oranges our Coke is also not as spicy or sour as European Coke. Our Ferrero Rockets are like a chocolate shell filled with American Nutella and a hazelnut. There’s no wafer shell or hazelnut crust at all, just a couple lousy shards of hazelnuts, which means the American version is gluey, too sweet, and lacks the nutty and crispy experience. I don’t even understand why you would butcher your own product to sell it somewhere else. Do they really think that Americans wouldn’t prefer Fanta that tastes fresh and light?

It’s the balance of these things that are different. Coke is not just a flavor invented in a lab.

Salmonella only effects RAW eggs (and it heavily depends on your countries process for eggs..they eat a lot of raw eggs in Asian countries for example which wouldn't be a thing if they commonly got sick from it) 145-165°F (63-74°C) kills Salmonella btw

@@testerwulf3357 Microbiologist here. There is one thing people forget, which is that when a food has a bacteria overload, yes those bacteria die when you cook it... But what makes you violently ill in many cases is the toxins released by the bacteria. That's why still-cooked foods can make people sick. It's not always a matter of undercooking. Freshness and refrigeration is key.

The nutella one really worried me because it was implied but not explicit that you needed the plastic container, since I believe the glass ones have a metallic lid that you remove. It's hard to get all of the lid off and my family never does, but it seems so "normal" that I could easily picture someone not realizing it and putting that jar in the microwave

[@kauske]

Small bits of metal aren't an issue in the microwave for the most-part, you need specific shapes and sizes for the energy to build up and create arcs, a few little bits of foil on the rim likely won't arc badly. It will also depend on the wattage of the microwave and the wave pattern. That's why some microwaves have metal racks or other stuff, as the racks are shaped to not be an effective antenna. A bit of foil on a jar rim won't be half as dramatic as a foil wrapper on a burger, or a fork. Forks are just about the best antenna for capturing the energy and turning it into arcs.

[@r.charlie]

these days most microwaves sold (at least in the EU) don't actually have problems with metal anymore. They do, however, melt non-microwavable plastics. So, I'd have assumed the opposite implication

[@LitteJeanie]

The other two old timey methods of storing eggs were to dip in wax - usually a blend of paraffin and beeswax - for raw eggs, as fresh as possible from the farm. Or boil them and pickle them. Many room temperature preservation methods came from Europe, where the room temperature is significantly lower than Australia and they used a larder (so cooler still) and the egg preservation was for during winter, when chickens often come off the lay.

[@FaeAstray]

Yup. You're absolutely still supposed to keep those eggs in a cooler temp, though not necessarily full refrigeration, but definitely NOT at the full room temp most people think of at 70F/21C. My Mamaw did water glassing in the southern USA and kept the jars in the spring house, where it stayed about 50-55F year round.

[@somegurloverthere]

The only thing missing about the egg story is that she was speaking about store bought eggs, which is what most people would use. However, every salmonella issue i've ever heard about was from store bought eggs. Most of us who raise our own chickens know not to wash the egg, it has a protective layer that gets washed off in store bought eggs. And keeping eggs in lime solution does work, easily in a cool dark area. Many people do it, and no stories of salmonella poisoning 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@kwarra-an]

@@FaeAstray I thought room temperature was 25°C!

[@LWolf12]

Well, most of these modern day "homesteaders" don't understand that old methods of preservation is only supposed to last through the winter, not years. That or last only as long as it took to ship it to another town or country.

[@galuxius1861]

@@somegurloverthere I don't think that'd be the large issue, more of. Which how much eggs are mass produced from the shops, you're more likely to not detect a salmonella infected in a farm before they already shipped hundreds of eggs off.

Honestly, I'm surprised the microwave lasted this long! Also also - my roommate, who is a biologist, was listening in the background... and she was SO happy when you started talking about the process of making matcha (with the shading and what it does and such), and the way you explained it. Biologist approves, she kept saying 😁

[@WindInMyWings]

The chicken thing was really interesting. I live in the UK and recently there has been a real backlash against "chlorinated chicken" i.e. water-cooled with chorine added but nobody has been able to say why this is such a bad thing!

[@PBOCG]

its usually the typical "chemicals bad" type mindset tbh

[@StephanieScheller]

Gotta wonder when something like that happens it it's a clever marketing ploy!

[@MsZsc]

the hell do you drink lol

[@RannonSi]

From what I've heard, it has more to do with, that chlorination can be used to hide bad practises like keeping the chicken, and the areas where they're kept (both alive and dead) filthy. And has less to do with chemicals = bad.

[@PBOCG]

@@RannonSi I've never heard of that but that would def do it too but without a concrete source I'm more inclined to believe thats a secondary reason. or something used to justify why someone is against the water cooling rather than actual fact, you know?

[@Akisame-LuigI-O]

It might also be nice to talk about the difference between European eggs and US eggs. US eggs have their protective coating removed and thus need to be refrigerated. EU eggs still have their protective coating and can be kept for a longer time.

Australia wash their eggs. They also don't vaccinate their chickens.

[@Spamhard]

@@crypticshadows But she talks consistently about regulations around the world, so where she's from doesn't factor into education on regulations ?

[@Mostlyharmless1985]

Oof close close close. The shelf life of the eggs are roughly the same, it’s that the washed eggs must be kept refrigerated because they are vulnerable to infection. You can keep unwashed eggs out on the counter but salmonella can come from chickens with infected ovaries, regardless of if they are washed or not so any egg from either country (wash v not wash) could have a detectable amount of virus. Just cook your eggs properly.

[@holyfreakinBLEACH]

To add to the egg commentary: if you have fresh laid eggs, they WILL keep for a good 45 days at room temperature just fine as long as you do one thing: don't wash them. When chickens lay, they leave a barrier called a "bloom" around the shell that seals the pores to prevent bacteria from entering. If you keep the bloom, you keep the bacteria from getting thru the shell. You obvs want to give the egg a wash before you eat it tho lol. The bloom washes away with warm water, so I can't imagine the lime method does any better or worse with it.

[@luxy2772]

Apparently in the US they wash eggs before selling them, hence why they keep eggs in the fridge because the bloom is washed off. In NZ everyone keeps eggs in the pantry.

[@KiraFriede]

@@luxy2772 In germany the label says when you're supposed to put them in the fridge. So usually it's 2 weeks in the pantry, then another week in the fridge.

[@holyfreakinBLEACH]

@@luxy2772 yes commercial eggs in Australia and the US (and I think a few other countries) have to be pasteurized by law to prevent the spread of salmonella. But if you’ve got your own backyard hens, you have the choice of pantry storage :)

[@snakewithapen5489]

I remember seeing my uncle who has a farm with chickens, turkeys and ducks having dozens and dozens of fresh eggs just piled up on the countertops and thinking it was a bit strange, but this makes total sense! After all, eggs in a nest aren't refrigerated- in fact, hens are keeping them very warm, so they need to have some inherent pathogen resistance to make it to hatching

[@alasdair_scott]

@@holyfreakinBLEACH Most eggs in Australia are unpasteurised, and are not kept refrigerated.
