[@zonawilson6245]

Y'all, I made this pie tonight, and it was so perfect. For one thing, I may never use a different piecrust recipe. Crumbly, crisp, flavorful - the perfect pie crust. The lemon curd was maybe the best I've ever made, and I humbly say that that is saying something. Everyone involved was totally involved in consuming every crumb. It's gone. Great recipe!

[@silentarcher7355]

My son and I recently made the lemonade from the America's Test Kitchen Complete Cookbook for Young Chefs. He had a great time and it was delicious. Thanks Dan and everyone at ATK for helping us find and cook such great recipes.

[@ubza2004]

You are so loved in on KZbin more than on the shows. But heck we just love Dan❤️🐾👍🏻

[@brianklaus2468]

Rasper's Delight: I said a drip drop, The easy to the squeezy The drip drip a drop, and you don't stop, you zest it To the zip saw rasping say up jump the rasping, To the rhythm of the rasping, the zest. Olive Oil Lemon Tart, it rocks, as do you, And guess what, ATK, we love you 'Cause you cooked and a baked with so much soul, You could cook 'til a hundred and one years old. I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, But we like that lemon on our Pork Loin roast Rock it up, Danny Souza! Danny Souza to the rasping da best zest da lemons Try the Meyers, it's slightly sweet! Come on everybody lemons can't be beat!

[@brittanyh1293]

Wow...I'm speechless really, well done👏🏻

[@MCAndyT]

YES!

[@DanielJSouza]

I'm still speechless 2 weeks on

[@MadisonFalcoFoods]

I’m here from Dan’s new video haha nice!

[@DanielJSouza]

@@MadisonFalcoFoods Pretty incredible, right?!

[@dougrorapaugh5013]

I just found you about a week ago and instantly became a fan. Thank you for bringing so much humor and humanity to the table. You make good food so much better!

[@valliarlette6596]

So happy to see you this morning. You brighten my day, like a bright, shiny lemon :)

[@melpinay]

Love literally every one of these videos. Hope the Cooks Illustrated team are keeping safe and healthy :)

[@hellohangfire]

Thank you, Dan, for being our Food Nerd! We appreciate it even if we don’t say it every time!

[@AxelQC]

Lemon is one of my favorite flavors. Both tart and refreshing at the same time.

[@marimurdock7766]

I think this was your best one, Dan. So succinct and yet joyful in its love of lemons.

[@CaravelClerihew]

Everyone should also try Australian Finger Lime. The juice in the lime is packed into small orbs, so it’s basically like eating lime caviar and makes for a great topping on fish or roast veggies.

[@josephineroe5597]

I've gotta look into this, sounds interesting. ETA Fascinating. I've got to try them. An Aussie commenter noted that some varieties are sweeter than others. I also linked to the unusual Ice Cream Bean Fruit and Dead Man's Fingers. So thank you!

[@candydavis4277]

I am totally making this lemon tart. I live in Arizona a had two lemon tress and a lime in my backyard. We recently had some rare stormy weather. The larger lemon tree was so loaded with fruit, it blew over. So sad. I hated to see that beautiful fruit go to waste. I’ve baked, sauced, froze lemon slices and whole lemon, lemon zest and in first stage of making limoncello. I gave away a lot, too. Still have several dozen in the crisper. Thanks for all your lemon recipes. 😋

[@HolyMess420]

I loved the humor in this. 😁 Thank you for the zesting technique! I have a difficult time rotating citrus while I grate after I get to a side that has already been zested.😬

[@lt2143]

Saw the Olive Oil Lemon Tart episode with Bridget last week and we made it. It was fantastic. The best lemon tart ever!

[@yay-cat]

I like how the pictures in the background make a Dan shaped negative space haha. Maybe it’s just the region I live in but lemon trees are everywhere. Now limes are rare (but I reckon I like lemon more anyway)

[@eckankar7756]

I have 4 lemon trees (Eureka, Lisbon and 2 Meyers) and never thought about the preserved lemons. Next winter when they are ripe I'll make some with the Meyers.

[@MrNorrell515]

Do a quarantine episode dan! What ingredients to have on hand when self stability is key!

[@jamesnardini]

Lord how we’ve missed you. Great segment. Keep them coming.

[@hollym5873]

I feel so sharp and zesty it's an e pith any. Really love your videos. Thanks

[@Muskokaloon]

Love lemons. I am blessed with very productive Meyer and Eureka trees. They are in season at the same time and I am always looking for great lemon recipes. I open freeze left over lemons in slices. I freeze juice in ice cube trays for later. But I want say thank for the extra ideas. Tried the olive lemon tart, wow. I have 3 jars of Meyers in salt in the fridge, I will advise. Thanks Dan, oh and your Christmas cookie recipe was a total hit.

[@elizabethshaw734]

I lived in Morocco where I made many preserved lemons and I still make them here back in Maine. :-)

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

To squeeze the juice, yes, use tongs, but there's a better way to use them. Take half a lemon and place it, cut side facing out, between both arms of the tongs, near the middle. Hold the tong arms down on both sides off the lemon half, and squeeze down with both hands. Lots of juice. Then either rearrange the lemon half and squeeze again, or what I do is to use my wooden reamer for the last drops. This is the kindest technique if you've got arthritis... that bright yellow metal citrus squeezer hurts one's hands. Even the Oxo model does, though less. No pain when you slip it between tongs to squeeze down from both sides.

[@AnneBeamish]

Now I need lemons... great ideas for this time when we need them. Thanks!

[@davidnussbaum1850]

I love the America Online screen shot!!

[@davidh7104]

Double-thumbs up for the CRT/AOL image!

[@RoninXDarknight]

If life hands you lemons, make Lemoncello.

[@eriksuarez1915]

RoninXDarknight limoncello*

[@marleee.2174]

I actually really hate Limoncello 😖

[@pattyamato8758]

Limoncello, and I DID try to make that once. From a recipe in Sunset magazine. However, after all those months, it wasn't very good. I think my California (some Meyer, some not) lemons just weren't the right kind. The flavor was not the same as Italian lemons from Sorrento.

[@LanceDaPsycho]

4am and almost fell asleep until I heard the loud noise, rewinded and saw Dan fall off his chair. LOLOLOLOL. he’s so adorable and funny

[@evateresarhode5837]

True burst of lemony sunshine!

[@velquisalinas7803]

I like how you explain everything, have a nice weekend!💜

[@hmkim3974]

When life gives you lemons, make limeade and confuse everybody.

[@steveskouson9620]

Personally, I prefer the taste of Limes. (Maybe,because my father was born in Mexico, 96 years ago.) steve

[@bl6973]

Steve Skouson or because they have a different type of flavor.

[@seroun17]

Dan can you do an episode on black pepper? It's such a ubiquitous ingredient but I feel very few people know what a peppercorn actually is.

[@danielleanderson6371]

I'm really upset that you made me want chicken piccata and a lemon tart this late at night.

[@jmcbri]

Exactly!!

[@kaitlinking667]

Man oh man I love Dan!!

[@barrymiller99]

These are fantastic!

[@weston.weston]

We ❤ you, Dan!!!

[@SamsonGuest]

I wonder why the production quality of 'what's eating' is so much higher than most other shows on American test kitchen.

[@theturninggate]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this. Thanks, Dan!

[@moomoome42]

Excellent as always

[@seguebythesea]

I have a beautiful Meyer lemon tree, so life always gives me lemons 💕

[@pettydus]

I love Dan.

[@patrickdurham8393]

Need more of What's Eating Dan please.

[@Omnipetence]

Do the lemons in the fridge actually ferment? If that’s true it’s fermenting at about 4degC or 49 deg F, is it just very slow fermenting (6 weeks). What are the microorganisms in the fermentation

[@apocalypt_us7941]

They would ferment, just very slowly. But most preserved lemons are fermented at room temperature, no reason to keep them in the fridge as long as the solids are kept below the surface of the liquid. In terms of microorganisms, it would be mostly lactobacillus.

[@leeanderson8773]

What did he pour into the preserved lemons jar? Was it lemon juice?

[@JonMeFree]

Yeah, the juice of 8 Meyer lemons. The recipe is in the description.

[@areejalrw1360]

lovvvve whats eating dan? total the best I've been watching since 2018 burger ep thank you for the great info note: my first ever comment on youtube.

[@coleenlong8212]

Lemon “ANYTHING”…YUM !!!

[@cathayericson9198]

Citric Acid isn't the only substitute when you don't have access to lemons or limes. In a pinch I use True Lemon and True Lime. Both come in shakers or packets.

[@name.terrie]

Good job. Informative and fun.

[@maryjohebert6196]

I love these videos and Dan is awesome.

[@kevinstrickland2096]

Dan! My mind is blown with this recipe. I bake and cook a lot (former restaurant owner) and it never occurred to me that you could swap butter for oil. So a Very Important Question for you. Is there a reason it has to be extra virgin olive oil? May I please use regular ol' oil?

[@upyoursnube2085]

Dan’s the best!

[@adidaspump]

If life hands you lemons, make an awesome video about them. Great job as always, Dan. Oh, nice shoes also !! 😉

[@AlexDaMister]

Love you man!!

[@Bison162]

Please please please make preserved lemons, Dan.

[@jrquinn9377]

This was good. I was always told, "unless life hands you sugar, you are going to have piss poor lemonade." Love the extra info you give. Thx for the video.

[@BilliumMoto]

Made this, it's amazing

[@christianrmonson]

When life gives you Dan, make lemonade. It's a good day when there is a new Dan vid and you deserve to treat yourself. #danhype

[@lydiaanderson9765]

@Christian Monson How are you doing and hoping we get to know each other?

[@53bms]

In what situations is it okay to use bottled lemon juice? Would you mostly just use it where you would use the citric acid powder?

[@Clowreader]

Dan makes me happy in an indescribable way, especially his face after his, "Just like with people, there is a neck end and a nibble end."

[@luckybarrel7829]

Ok. Fire lemon trick. Cool.

[@dunkeroni]

Lemons are also hybrids, they've just been around for a while. All citrus are made from some ratio of Pomelo, Citron, and Mandarin.

[@jackreid938]

i love you dan. looking forward to what eats you next!

[@aishbalev]

Dan I had a friend who's just getting into baking ask me this evening how she could improve her scones and also cut back on the sugar and butter. It came to light she was more disappointed that the lemon she had added hadn't shone through and also the texture was off. The framing of the question reminded me of your video and comments about dairy muting lemon, so I checked both here and the olive oil video and found you'd said that "dairy compounds in butter... bind to the flavor compounds in lemon". Could you elaborate on this chemistry? Can we extrapolate this to the scone? Is there a non-dairy butter sub (idk margerine, coconut oil) that will give us both the desired flavor and texture?

[@taiiat0]

thinking about Lemons makes my mouth water. that is all.

[@yvettetellez5064]

I love your brain Dan!!

[@JoelGonzalez-ud7qo]

Looking sharp in that black knit shirt!

[@ThisIsARubbishName]

ow! I've done it before too with the falling off chair thing. It's embarassing rather than painful for me hahaha. I have suggested the tart to my mother.

[@Doctor_Money]

Im just curious, is the background while you're at the desk just a greenscreened room?

[@trevordavison4078]

I am unsure at this moment... Up until now I was convinced it was a real room but seeing none of the shadows move when he fell off the chair is messing with my brain

[@club.Fr.elfaouar.1]

Good recipe👍

[@UsernamedJory]

Best fall ever... Good job! Lol

[@rosshunter9053]

To me, lemons mean Lemon Meringue Pie and Lemon Cheese Cake. I always have lemon juice ice blocks in the freeze. Hope you didn't hurt yourself too much Dan. Stay Safe, Cheers

[@MarySanchez-qk3hp]

Dan, the pith doesn't just have pectin, which would interest a baker. It's also where you find rutin, hesperidin and bioflavonoids. Those are important to your health.

[@Ironpanda]

1 min in and I love the episode. Keep up the good work!

[@darkhawk123]

What did he pour on the preserved lemons?

[@deadfr0g]

Lemony Styles is my new favourite rapper.

[@juicyium5232]

Love it 😻

[@realdex]

This is the first time I watched Dan's video.

[@thetrillianaire]

in the part about preserving lemons, you didn't mention what you are pouring over them in the jar--it looks like more lemon juice? or is it water? wondering if it takes a massive amount of juiced lemons just to preserve a few of them...

[@teddypawncrumps23]

Oh no, that's salt water. All you need for preserved lemons is clean jars, lemons, salt, and water.

[@thetrillianaire]

@@teddypawncrumps23 I asked this question 11 months ago and forgot about it, but now that you answered it I'm finally going to make these. Thank you!

[@teddypawncrumps23]

I have found that adding 2 to 3 drops of squeezed lemon juice kills the smell in cooking fish. How's that to cooking with lemons ?

Dan! 😍

[@sethhansen4454]

When life gives you lemons, question how the freak you got lemons out of nowhere

I wouldn't mind seeing an episode on scallops or other shell fish

How do i store citric acid for long time.

Looks like Dan's got a Lemon Party going. 0:59

Couldn't help but wonder how many versions of the script (that weren't used) contained that phrase.

[@KFCJones]

How does citric acid compare to amchoor powder?

[@TsunamiWombat]

When life hands you lemons, BURN LIFE'S HOUSE DOWN. WITH THE LEMON.

[@sunblock8717]

This is the sort of chaotic energy I need in my life

[@thesnipermaster]

[@pattyamato8758]

Absolutely not! a) lemons are great, and b) more importantly, you cannot simply burn the house down every time life hands you something you don't like. Life lesson there.

[@ubombogirl]

ok...probably just me but...i very much love the videos...great knowledge given, wonderful recipes, and dan is the best...however, that music! i find it a bit hard to hear thru it and it is distracting...any way to not use it or at least fade it more into the background, please? thanks!

[@1babysag]

I bought a new car (Hybrid) and it was declared a “Lemon” because the hybrid system failed twice, once after I took it back to the dealer and had it repaired. I got all of my money back and the manufacturer gave me a cash bonus for my inconvenience. I guess they didn’t want any bad blood. So in this case, the Lemon was turned into Lemonade. :)
