I set up 5 cameras around my Kitchen while Cooking a Steak Dinner.

I set up 5 different cameras all around my kitchen to see if I can make a Steak Dinner with 2 side dishes for 3 people in less than 31 minutes. Hopefully this is an interesting look into how I cook and move around the kitchen, compared to a Gordon Ramsay steak video.

[@jackbiddulph]

I think this kind of format would really suit quick weeknight meals

[@PrivilegeYT]

any meal is fine. the steak could be subbed with fish or chicken. actually the beautiful thing about learning how to cook fundamentally is that you can just buy what's on sale and cook that.

[@ginosalazar7391]

Yes! Would love more of these. Specifically for weeknight meals so I can look like a pro for my wife. XD

[@nicklyskawa3504]

This is such a great idea, I would love to see this format with quick, healthy weeknight meals.

[@NicholeGreenNicholeGreen]

Love this format would love other meals cooked on the channel this way

[@Amethyst1919]

I've always appreciated that even in your "can I make it faster than" videos, you're relaxed, getting stuff out of the fridge, taking it easy... xo many vids show them panic cooking and doing a half-assed job...

[@nerdcave0]

Big takeaway not mentioned is you can move a lot faster when you're not following a recipe. It's really hard to move fast and fluid when you're constantly checking a recipe while cooking.

[@EthanChlebowski]

That is a really good point too, didn’t think about that!

[@VRNT99]

In my opinion memorizing and learning what the recipe is about make it much easier. You can quickly check at glance if you are not sure of something. Before I am starting to cook I read recipe 3-4 times to understand what I am doing and plan in head what is needed

[@mikeschumacher]

It's also why I appreciate Ethan's videos that focus on method and frameworks. I don't have to worry about memorizing or following a specific recipe if I know the guidelines on how to put a bunch of different things together.

[@maxpowers9129]

You can't even clean as you go if you are constantly checking a recipe. The more skill you gain, the faster and easier cooking becomes.

Love the idea. In a similar vein, Kenji's Go-pro videos also show everything that goes into cooking a meal!

[@travelingtango]

Yeah, I absolutely love Kenji's format. It's much more impactful to making me a better cook Edit: I also appreciate Ethan's style here. In general, real-time kitchen flow is way better for teaching cooking skills imo

[@noahpoobbailey]

Kenji’s format is better than this one I feel. You can really see everything he’s doing, the POV allows for a more realistic look at cooking.

[@WPTheRabbitHole]

i almost vomited watching one of those head bobbing go-pro vids 🤢 definitely like this style more

[@libbypetersen3523]

@@WPTheRabbitHole Agree--Kenji's vids are too Blair Witch for me.

[@vygylate]

I think a mix between the two is good. The raw end to end of Kenji’s vids really helped me learn how to cook actually. The little things really helped me identify times where I’m messing too much or too little with certain parts of a dish. Also takes anxiety out of some of the process because there are some methods that are more easily demonstrated through actions than words or a cut of the end product. Even in this video it was helpful to show the last few minutes of cooking the steaks because it shows how often others are flipping versus leaving.

[@miguelbrache8645]

Midway through watching- I love this format for so many reasons. Very relaxing to watch, and this will be super helpful to follow along. Would definitely love to see more like this- maybe a brunch episode?

[@EthanChlebowski]

Yea I definitely want to explore different food topics with this style.

[@rhekman]

Relaxing? I was like - ahhh, the pasta is going to boil over!

[@ChrisValencia]

The first half of the video was calmly-paced. But the second half where the urgency picked up was very relatable for me - trying to clean, do more prep, put dishes away, wondering what step is next, etc. are all things I do despite all the mis en place and initial prep. Not too many cooks show the little scatterbrain moments.

[@aliabdaal]

This is the most helpful cooking video I’ve ever seen

[@Captainvemon]

[@billsam7076]

[@MichaelAlthauser]

More videos like this would be great. It feels like getting this kind of "full look" at a meal cooking process could help a lot of people out.

[@marquamfurniture]

Fantastic! There is an authenticity to this video that makes it relatable.

[@SamiKatzen]

I actually like the way you showed all the little "behind the scenes" details like the slightly tedious task of chopping the parsley and how it gets stuck on your fingers. Even though I'm a relatively experienced home cook, I sometimes wonder how other chefs deal with little issues not shown in the edited versions we are served on KZbin channels. Keeping it real is really appreciated.

[@zapdara]

I really appreciated that you started with an empty kitchen here. So many cooking/recipe videos start with all the ingredients prepped, and while I understand from a filming perspective, it can make it really hard to see just how long it will actually take to make it all and even make it seem much more manageable when the prep work truly takes a huge chunk of time. Love the new format!

[@SweenyMarc]

29:57 I've found you can grip the steaks in your tongs, pull the tag at the end to tighten them, then set them on edge to render/char the fat and having the tongs as a resting/balance point means they'll never fall over. Not so helpful with 2 steaks and 1 set of tongs but something to bear in mind.

[@hdshadowstar4564]

I REALLY do enjoy the longer form content. Makes it a bit easier to conceptualize how long I could be taking to make everything come together, or in my case being able to adjust the time I would need to make it. Also, its an underrated skill being able to put together a dinner and have everything come out at the same time! Great Video!

[@TheTimChandler]

This format feels great. It feels so relatable to watch you cook with all the good moments and the bad, and shows how to use your time to clean, organize, and other non-cooking tasks. I'd love to see this video as a livestream, with someone there with you asking you questions from the chat (why did you just rotate the steaks, etc) while you cook. I enjoyed this.

[@bjackson2002]

You continue to set the standard for informative cooking videos.🙏🏼

[@violetviolet888]

Bjackson: No. Hellen Rennie does.

[@deon5329]

Really great format for a video. Time is my biggest hurdle in day to day cooking. Learning how to manage time in the kitchen is a skill I dont see talked about often.

[@CJtoTaste]

Just wanted to point out about the importance of washing and thoroughly drying your veggies before cooking and especially in raw applications which could have all been done before cutting them :) other than that, this is probably one of the best formats you have done as well as the blind taste tests for specific ingredients

[@BlowinFree]

I had a bad experience last year. I steamed green beans to have with pie and mash, I mustn’t have washed the beans correctly and half way thru my meal I spotted something moving on my plate…..I ran to the kitchen to investigate under a bright light, and there was a slug. I vomited and put the rest of my diner in the bin. It was a horrible experience I’ll never forget

[@greenricee]

He didn’t wash the broccolini 😨😨😨

For the steak, I highly recommend checking out the cold sear technique put out by America's Test Kitchen. Super quick, and little to no smoke produced; it's been an absolute game changer especially for apartment life.

Big reason why I enjoy Kenji’s vids. It seems real. You give Kenji his flowers heaps too. So I like this idea. A perfect combo. Keep it up.

[@christinesprague1857]

I LOVED this. I was literally thinking about how many cooking youtubers I like seem to be doing mostly shorts lately and that I don't really enjoy them. I don't learn as much, they don't entertain me as much. This was wonderful to see start to finish and interesting to see how your actual workflow works beyond the edited down stuff we usually see. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@CJHR-bz1wz]

Great concept for a video. This is why Kenji Lopez-Alt is the GOAT of KZbin food videos because he does exactly as you’ve tried to portray here. No cuts, you can see him working from the fridge to the sink. Best is sometimes he messes stuff up but still serves it

[@Munkwitz]

PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS IN THIS STYLE!!!

[@qapla]

I like the format with the multi-cams and showing the normal work/steps that go into everyday cooking. You work much like I do, cleaning up as you go. Since you asked, here are a few thoughts: 1) If you moved the prep cam to a place directly across from the island, perhaps on the outside of the pantry, you could eliminate the prep table that blocks your access from the sink side of the island giving you better flow in your kitchen 2) Looks like you have a garbage disposal in your sink. You might include that, for those who don't, using a strainer in the sink will help eliminate costly plumbing repairs by stopping the food stuff you grind in your disposal 3) You really should wipe/clean the probe of the instant read thermometer before folding that dirty tip into the holding clip unless you clean the holding clip every time you use the thing - something not really recommended by Thermoworks. Looking forward to how you expand this format and future meals.

[@tijldude]

I can’t tell you enough how I’ve been waiting on a video like this. I always have these small seemingly insignificant questions that keep bothering me and never get answered. Like is it okay to have multiple steaks in a pan at the same time, is it okay to cook lower and slower than just ripping hot searing, when do you start one thing and finish another. This format really helps answer those questions. Love it!

[@dillydanny-o8807]

I would LOVE to see this type of video for complex meals like Thanksgiving dinner, Easter, Christmas, etc especially where volume is a variable.

[@Brainspoil]

I like this format. It feels more honest than most of the 15-20 min meals that are show on YT. This is the actual time it takes for a meal like that. I know some people just want to see the finished product, but me and probably many others that are trying to figure out life when there are limited time slots involved, really prefer this way.

[@puupipo]

Loved the video! One thing I'd add to this style of video is fairly detailed timestamps so that if a month from now I come back to this video to remind myself of a specific technique you used or whatever then it's easy for me to navigate to that point.

[@baxill23]

Would have been so easy to edit this and make yourself look like you did an absolute flawless job. I for one really appreciate the humbleness and honesty showing what most all of us go through cooking at home. And the meal looked amazing by the way! Well done.

[@jaydeep7714]

I am loving this format! It was very realistic setting a goal in mind but still going through all the steps like one would normally do for the home cooking setting. One of my gripes with timed challenge videos is usually when someone proclaims "it's easy and possible in XX minutes" meanwhile cutting out all the cleaning tasks and proceeding to rush through and cook in a very stressful way. I loved seeing you go through your kitchen doing different tasks in parallel while still trying to maintain a clean kitchen. This is definitely something I want to see more of, great job!

[@iNcog_AoE]

I like to sip on scotch when I cook and take my time. Great way to spend 30 to 40 minutes. I like this format of video and I hope it blows up (which it might due to rote watch time), this is the real deal of cooking.

[@2bbossfree]

Love the planning of what to do when. With Thanksgiving coming up now, I'd love to see a set of what to do the night before, and what to do on the day of --for holiday cooking or cooking several unrelated items.

[@soko45]

[@adbreon]

He could have done this in 30 minutes if he worked more efficiently. This kitchen is way too big and moving to that black table ate a lot of time. If he had done his chopping closer to the stove he would have been monitoring that pasta more effectively. I would have dropped the pasta, turned the broiler on, prepped the broccoli, made the chimichuri, dropped the steaks, pulled and finished the pasta, dropped the broccoli at which point the steak and broccoli would have been done cooking in much closer proximity to each other.

[@Olyphoto7]

I think it’s great to show the chaos of the home kitchen during meals. Many of us have kids and may need to deviate our direction once or twice to make a meal that works for the whole family. I have a small kitchen and meal prep usually adds over a thousand steps to my day. I love this approach, it really helps people understand even for the more experienced cooks, things don’t always go as planned.

[@teriyakitaki]

Loved this format! One advantage we have over you though is we do not have that extra prep table, so there is more of the traditional triangle. Looking forward to more! 🙌

@Ethan Chlebowski This, by far, is the best show & tell coocking video i've ever seen. Just found you litteraly today. And i have to say, the best video's come from Chef Jean-Pierre and Food Wishes (chef John)... But THIS takes it to a whole new level... I'm amazed you didn't break the internet with this kind of transparant, clear showing, realtime cooking video.... simply unequaled show, tell and teach... amazing.... please do more vid's like this... Its like being in class its so good!

[@user-nu4uh9fh1b]

I’m a home cook in NYC, small kitchen, envious of your kitchen. After 50 years of home cooking I’m still not confident with steaks especially the pricey ones. The steaks you’re cooking look exactly like what are sitting in my fridge. I appreciate the trick cutting grape tomatoes with two deli container lids kind of genius. The butter baste at the end, perfect. With everyone of your videos I watch, I learn something new. Thanks. Vaya con dios!

[@markust8904]

This is great. Timing. A lot of cooking videos show the process but not the time and incidental things to put a whole meal together. I like this format, continue.

[@jaeldi]

AMAZING! LOVE IT. Notes from a Novice: Here's the things that blew my mind. You didn't time anything! How do I know how long to roast broccoli? How did you know how long to cook those steaks? What settings are your stove top dials at? Highest? High? Medium High? I don't have a griddle built in to my stove? How would this play out in a pan? Fridge cam not terribly useful, counter top cam where you set things and prepped things perhaps more informative. I'm probably hyper organized grouping ingredients by dish on the counter while I prep. Overall, you are brilliant! I hate cooking segments where they don't show you the army of unpaid interns shopping, prepping, chopping, cleaning. Concerning timing, I try to keep notes like X minutes roasting broccoli at X temp in oven to reach my personal level of 'slight char on the tips' perfection. How do you keep track of your experience with timing with things like this? Memory? Plus I have an electric stove top. And it's old. I don't think medium high is really medium high anymore. I've done Home Chef 2 years and learned a LOT. Learning how to cook and make it taste better than fast food has helped me to lose weight, get healthy, and get blood sugar problems gone. Home Chef has really taught me a lot by example and your vids are a great leap into doing it on my own and improving my skills. Keep up the amazing work. It amazes me that on some of the simple but delicious Home Chef sauces, that it's seconds between runny, perfection, and burnt. Idea for vids: how to make some basic or interesting sauces to make grilled meat and or roasted veggies really pop. Like the 'dressing'(?) you made for the pasta in this vid. How do I know what kind of onion to use for a sauce like this? I hate strong onion, love mild and carmelized, never know which kind of onion to buy in store. Another vid idea. Don't worry about time goals, just go. Don't worry about talking to camera, that's what voice over in post is for. LOL. Unexpected things happening makes me feel like, ok it's not just me, this guy is real, not just farming likes. Just roll with it and keep on shining!!! Timing is a challenge for beginners like me. So this video format is genius to me. Thank you.

[@Deathsage85]

Fantastic video! Another topic i would love to watch is seeing how to cook a meal for a crowd with 4 or 5 people in the kitchen. I go on vacation with a group of people with varying cooking skills. It is always interesting and a fun time and would love to see how you would tackle this environment

[@James-hb8qu]

I think this was one of the best videos for me getting insight into the steak cooking. Standard videos just show a few shots and, boom, it is done and perfect. By see how long it took, how many times you flipped them, how times you poked them with the thermometer, all of that is *what* gives one a feel for what to expect.

[@halfsourlizard9319]

This is absolutely fantastic; love this format. Truly fascinating to see how someone else organises things in time / space in the kitchen. Although, your kitchen is SUPER-sus -- no kitchen in the universe is that big and clean and white!

[@NekoArts]

I feel like the good thing about this type of video is that it's like sitting there in the kitchen with you. Think about how you learn to cook from your parents, grandparents or teacher: they don't just show you the highlights, you watch them doing everything in between as well and that's how you learn. "Highlight"-videos might be more visually pleasing and "artistic" (in loss of a better word) but these are the kinds of videos that actually teach you how to do cooking or whatever else they're trying to teach you. I imagine that it's much easier for you to record as well (until the cameras die anyway, haha), since you don't have to keep stopping and starting to adjust the cameras as you go.

[@dzehme]

Really like the format of this video. Would really love a camera on the sink side facing the pantry, ovens, and refrigerator too. Instead of the usual looking for something I can learn from the video, I found myself comparing what you are doing when you cook to what I am doing when I cook and that is a type of introspection I never have when looking at most videos. I do think this will be better when doing complete multi-dish meals especially when the timing can be more critical in getting everything to finish at once. Great stuff!

[@GreenT_LoR]

Personally, I did not like the small comments written on the screen. I understand the concept of it, but I would more prefer a voiceover or something after the fact over text. This is simply a personal preference, so you keep doing what you do. Thank you so much for all of the videos you put out. I have learned a lot over the years from you and your team 💚

[@GuiltyCasuals]

The 2 deli lids technique to cut tomatoes (and other stuff!) in half has got me really excited to cook haha. So simple but I would have never thought to do something like that.

[@fabdiva9]

i like the idea of having these types of videos that i can cook along to. i use a lot of recipes i find here on youtube, but if there's no written recipe, just the video, its super difficult to knkw what to shop for and i have to pause and rewind and fast forward videos not only while grocery shopping, but during the cooking process which makes it hard to make a meal and clean efficiently without stressing out about one thing or another. thank you for this content it is extremely invaluable ❤

I dedicate an old anonodized aluminum pot to cook pasta. It's a very 'slippery' metal as opposed to stainless, which is a very 'sticky' metal. Even if you lose track of time, it helps prevent issues like we had here w/ the pasta. Thank you for the great work!
