[@uleubner]

FYI, there is a lot of lovely vanilla flavor left in those vanilla beans you used for the ice cream custard. Whenever you use vanilla beans, when done, bury the bean in a large jar of sugar. Add more beans as you use them. After a few weeks, you'll have a lovely vanilla sugar, excellent for coffee, sprinkled on cookies or crepes, etc. As you use the sugar, keep refilling the jar, and you'll have good vanilla sugar for several years. Eventually, the beans will lose their flavor, and you'll want to start over. If you have a lot of beans, jars of vanilla sugar make good gifts, especially if you provide directions to refill the sugar whenever the level drops to 2/3 full.

[@kerberos623]

When I started to make swedish cookies in US I was perplexed in not findinf vanillasugar in the store. In Sweden they sell confectioneers sugar with vanilla flavour in it in a regular jar. :)

[@tonibildstein5568]

grind the dryed vanilla beans in a coffegrinder and mix it with the vanilla sugar for more extra flavor

[@chimpaflimp]

You can also put them in a bottle of brandy to make vanilla extract.

[@suran396]

Question for you: Did you mean the pods? Now that I know this, I may finally feel that buying vanilla bran is worth the high price.....especially since I always thought it was "use once and done."

[@DebatingWombat]

​@@suran396 Yes, once you have scraped out the contents (which contain the most intense flavour), this is how my mom (and myself and everyone I know) always use the “leftover” empty pod, though usually not for recipes where you boiled it along with its contents. If you already boiled it, it may not have that much flavour left, of course. And the moisture it has soaked up be a bit of a hassle, though the sugar will probably soak it up, but I’d say even that’s worth experimenting with. After all, the worst case scenario is having to discard a bit of sugar, second best/worst case is that it only gives a bit of vanilla flavour. Hardly something that doesn’t make it worth the try.

[@johnbelville4566]

This was a tour de force! And while the dessert looks and sounds (and surely tastes) incredible, I question the enormous amount of in-between washing-up of the "bowling downpour" (I counted 10), glass jugs (8), strainers (3 plus 1 tamis), spatulas (4), measuring cups, pastry scrapers, whisks, (wooden) spoons, saucepans, squeeze bottle, piping bag and nozzle, ice cream scoop, miscellaneous utensils like knives, offset spatula, frying pan, ladle...... not forgetting Steve (formerly known as Whiz Kid and Pulsator) - twice, immersion blender and beaker, "Whitey Ford" with her 3 elements (the connection between a gelato machine and baseball is unclear at this stage) and the wiping and/or scrubbing of the wooden board at least 4 times during this episode. These videos take so much more than cooking, filming and editing. I for one hugely appreciate the hard work (and unwitting humour)

[@ndkty5]

think about those bloggers who put every single ingredient in a separate plate to only show it for 3 seconds in the video 😂

[@puggirl415]

Thomas Keller obviously doesn't have to worry about washing dishes- Lol!

[@Callie456]

Agree! Having experience with day-to-day basic life cooking... all i can think about is all the washing and cleaning up that Jamie has to do in each video. He makes it look easy in the video but he don't fool me haha...I know he works super hard behind the scenes! lol. Not to mention the delightful editing he does.

[@toomanyopinions8353]

Remember that this is typically made in a busy kitchen with at least one dedicated dishwasher person and lots of staff making the different parts.

[@spotdogit]

Ok I’m officially sold. I’m putting TK’s book on my wish list. It’s so nice of Julia to keep dropping you bowls from heaven, even though you’ve moved on to other Chefs. She must be so proud of you! 😄

[@djwoolf123]

Next time you make an ice cream I’d suggest making it first and allowing it to fully freeze while prepping the other components. You could also do it the day before. The big issue is commercial ice cream freezers actively freeze and maintain subzero temps while churning. Home gamer “freezers” don’t. You still need to finish it in the ice box after so it’s firmer than soft serve. This recipient seems like it’s made for a production kitchen so a slight adjustment is okay. All the flavors were still there and it sounds amazing.

[@ambsquared]

I have the same ice cream maker. You definitely need to freeze the ice cream overnight if you want to be able to scoop it. Also take the custard and refrigerate it fully. You can even put in the freezer for an hour before churning. The closer the custard is to freezing before you churn will keep the tub cold longer.

[@smz5302]

I've got an ice cream maker with a refrigeration unit and I *still* make my ice cream one day ahead and freeze overnight.

Hello, I’m enjoying your journey into the culinary world. Just a touch of advise from a pastry chef… take a dampened kitchen towel, shape it into a ring (doughnut) onto your cutting board or counter and place your bowl into the center. This will stabilize your bowl when you need to temper your eggs.

[@brucetidwell7715]

Little hint for you when chopping chocolate, especially if it's a thicker block. Use a bread knife, and lever it the way you would with a kitchen knife. It just destroys chocolate with no effort at all. Watch your fingers though, since it'll do the same to them.

One of my best memories of Banana Split, was this old-fasioned restaurant (closed after a huge fire...😒), with my kids (for almost 30 years ago) at their birthdays. The Banana Split was so huge, even adults had problems eating one. Easy made too.... 1/2 banana, then 3 different icecreams (vanilla, chocolate and strawberry), then whipped cream with cherries on top, and last ones 2 different sauces (chocolate and strawberry). Happy times! ❤

1) I feel like the soft banana and vanilla coulda put right through the tamis or the strainer, without putting it through a blender first. The fibres and the vanilla pod would've stayed in the tamis, anyway. 2) You can add a few table spoons of salt to the ice-water bath - it lowers the freezing point, so the bowl stays cooler longer.

Oh man, this episode had everything, loved it. The recipe, process and result looked just luxuriously delicious. TK so earned his reputation for making amazing and creative food. Crepes as bananas, how fun is that. Super ap-peel-ing. Plus what a good challenge and the recipe is right there in this vid description. I did appreciate that description Jaimie gave at the end. The banana split was a dessert that took you back to a good time and place, reliving an awesome feeling. That is a rare thing with most food. This was another special dish. Jaimie is getting better at making the food feel more real to us viewers with how he talks about it. When he's happy with the result, you can tell. It's got to be double satisfying (post scarfing it down) to know you were able to successfully make every component and get that result. Sure it got a touch messy in the end, but we all got it. A good messy is more real life, tho it's perfectly understandable to want that perfect result to show off those cooking abilities especially in this format. It's the metaphorical cherry on top of being proud. It still looked delicious and the work showed. Life don't have to be perfect to be amazing. Jaimie's skills were so on point for everything. Editing was noticeably super clean af. Everyone knows or should know how time consuming that part really can be. No one really likes the editing process in content creation. Bowl edits are just a delight, won't take them for granted. Cooking skills, I mean those crepes looked pretty much perfect. It's like riding a bike at this point, but that is the result of a lot of work for Jaimie to get to that skill level. For the most part, everything looked smooth in how Jaimie went through every step of the recipe. There was so much confidence here. Awesome. Whitey Ford, the ice cream machine. Welcome to the Team. That name made me laugh, It's perfect. Unfortunate about the Tamis sieve, that probably works better when you have a team of underlings who's only job is to sift everything. Coincidentally I've been on an ice cream kick this past week, lol. I could practically smell the banana and vanilla through the screen. Perfect timing for this recipe for me anyway... And yes there is a story. Last week I was working away, pulling off the freeway. I was literally thinking..."Is there someplace I can get a banana shake? I haven't had nanners in a while, I'm craving that taste...ah well, no rush, I'll look it up later" Yeah....I'm in southern California, and that classic event happened...the near ending of a high speed chase right around me. I thought he was some angy idiot who almost hit me going way too fast, so fast he was fishtailing and then spun out at the bottom of the ramp. I had swerved hard to avoid getting hit and was slowing down cause the dude was blocking traffic. And then police sirens were heard, and flashing lights in my rear view mirror. They whipped around me too and pulled up on the dude's car. I had stopped and ended up way too close for comfort or my heart. And things happened less than a hundred feet away: police "items" were drawn and pointed, yelling orders commenced, squealing tires eventually happened. Didn't see everything cause it was best to get as low as possible. And then they all took off again. Yay. Long story short, I got my banana ice cream as soon as I could after all that. Nerves fried, instantly sweaty, and thinking...you never know what could happen, imma get my treat. That's my advice, take some moments to just enjoy life. It's worth it. Food, fun, a sunset, a smile, heck a Jaimie video.
