Julia Child's Crème Brûlée | Jamie & Julia

[@trophybuckle3235]

Binge watching these, and it occurs to me, your clean simple sign off is so rare and so welcome. Watching these back-to-back is a delight 🖤👏🏼

[@bw2082]

That’s interesting. I have never seen this technique for creme brule. They’re usually baked in a water bath vs. cooking the custard on the stove. It also looks more soupy than usual.

[@antichef]

it looked soupy because I took some time torching and filming everything and it warmed up. The clips right at the end show what it looks like chilled completely 👍

My theory is that your thermometer was at 90° C which is 194° F. Your end product looked delicious! Love this series :)

[@itsqueenzazaa]

in all my days of taking dabs i’ve never in my life seen someone fill a torch like this.

[@ameliadavidson360]

I just love the chaotic realism with this show. Like forgetting ingredients, or just things not turning out exactly as planned, because I think almost everyone has a cooking misadventure like that. Especially the missing ingredients. I've done that a few times. Thank you for putting on this show, Jamie.

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Thisorning I was going to do a quiche Lorraine. But, I had no cream. So I went for an omelette. My pan was too big, and I forgot to thin down my red pepper jelly, etc. Well it ain't French, but it was good.

[@JeffnRiah17]

Creme Brule is quite possibly the most perfect dessert ever created. Great video!

[@androidangel787]

As someone who tried and failed several times Julia's method until I finally got it right, there are several key points that helped me succeed 1)Custard= any liquid that is thickened by eggs. Liquids being milk or cream. 2) The recipe calls for large eggs not medium size eggs. If you are going to use medium eggs, you need to double the number of eggs. 2 medium eggs thickens 1 cup of milk or cream. 1 large eggs, thickens 1 cup of milk or cream. 3) 1 cup= 236 ml 4) When you break down the egg yolks, you are breaking down the proteins proteins in them. When applied to a liquid, it coagulates and form the custard. That's why you need to keep the temperature below 165, above it, you get scrambled eggs. 5) The step last step, setting the saucepan over moderate heat, temperature control is highly important because it helps to removes water by evaporation, thickening the liquid and not affecting the eggs. Coagulation occurs in the fridge. 6) If you read the chapter on Temperature, you'll notice that 165 Celsius is considered moderate heat, as required by the recipe. Not 165 Farenheit. 7) There are two types of custards, stirred and baked. Stirred custards are cooked on a stove and because of the constant stirring, to distribute heat around the saucepan, the custard takes the consistency of a thick cream. While baked custards because they are not stirred, take a gel like consistency. Julia Childs method is for a stirred custard.

[@sheteg1]

I love ur tenacity to make this recipe as written. But seriously the water bath method is sooo much easier

[@jean-pierrecrozier]

I sometimes throw in two or three sprigs of fresh lavender in my boiling cream (removing before combining with egg yolks) ..... adds a beautiful flavor

[@leephillips2837]

one of the issues you faced the first time was the pan you chose. you said it was a frying pan (it was) and you should have used a saucepan (less surface area exposed to the heat, and you were making a sauce) Also, you treated the temperature as a goal when it was clearly a limit (you read that right out loud) keep cooking, I love your discovery and am fascinated by this series

[@lurklingX]

TEMP IS THE LIMIT NOT THE GOAL. damn. i wish these fekking bloggers would say shit like that when they throw a recipe out there. it's like a car with the wheels off. so much is unstated. and "coat with a spoon" should have a guideline or two. mine coated but it was thin and bubbly. (passed the finger swipe test regardless. AND didn't set.)

[@jamescampbell2190]

I was yelling “No, Jamie, no! Not the frying pan!!!”

[@alexandraene9614]

Whenever custard turns slightly into scrambbled eggs, i just put it in the blender and it works, then strain it. Works just finw

[@J_Gamble]

pre-blow torch the way to get the glassy burnt sugar was to put it under the fire/broiler.It was very tricky to get it to brown without burning it.

[@palexa188]

Crème Brûlée always reminded me of a dessert we have in Portugal called Leite-Creme. You basically put half a litre of milk (for more creamy results I recommend whole milk) in a saucepan and heat it up with 7 tbsps of sugar, 2 peels of lemon and 2 sticks of cinnamon (but don't let it boil!) and you mix it until the sugar dissolves. With the other half litre of milk, you mix it with 3 tbsp of corn starch and 3/4 egg yolks. You then combine everything and stir it in medium heat until it thickens and it leaves a clean strip on the pan when you pass the wooden spoon. Then you can do the same as here and take the mixture to the fridge and then put sugar (normal sugar not brown) and caramelize it (we actually have a special kitchen gadget to do this...it's like a handheld radiator almost 🤣 but you can use a blowtorch...it just takes a bit longer). Or you can eat it without the caramelized sugar (which I prefer for right now...it really depends on my mood) but refrigerated or my favourite way: straight out of the pan! It may give you a stomach ache afterwards because of the heat but it's soooooo good!!!😅

[@elanehomestudio-laineyneal7499]

I love the fact you’re doing Julia Childs. I’ve just bought these books because I’ve watched the new drama about her life played by Sarah Lancaster. I’ve subscribed to you. 💕

[@jeffreytanner1666]

So yum! The "easy" way and the baked way all end up with similar results. This method is the best IMO. I use white sugar on top, which takes longer to burn than brown sugar, so you can really go to town on the blow torch and get a really nice crunchy toffee top.

[@ethelryan257]

Delicious! I'm American, but I learned to cook in Germany and Italy where one uses the normal temperatures, not that weird Fahrenheit stuff. To this day, I keep my baking and cooking in Celsius and life is good. Jamie was clearly reading Fahrenheit and measuring in Celsius. the first time.

[@ZombicidalMadMom81]

Messy on the stove, going to store twice...so me. Usually takes me 3 times to make a recipe mine. Thanks for being so real

[@melaniemarrone9521]

I've been doing CB for about a year. I like this recipe so much more than the one I was using. Mine went into ramekins liquid, then Bain Marie, then waiting for the right amount of wobble. Thus is waaaay easier. Was hacked by cornstarch tho. It's like a snooty French thing to make ot without that. But that's what makes Julia so great. The high and low brow together to make food thats enjoyable to make as well as to eat.

to get rid of that raddle during mixing by wrapping bottom with towel or cloth

[@blueeyedbehr]

i just looked in my copy of "mastering" and it calls for 4 yolks not 5. that might have contributed to the eggs scrambling also - there wasnt enough cream in ratio to the yolks.

[@itsjudystube7439]

It works with evaporated milk too

If Maximum temperature is 165F, let's say if you do it around 150F - 160F which should be around 65°C - 70°C is actually on low heat.

[@bahhumbug9824]

Yeah, the layout and vagueness of Julia Child's book is f--ing maddening. I'd have asked too if the cream was supposed to be boiling because she couldn't be bothered to mention that important step and the editors never thought to ask. Btw, which online JC recipe did you use? I see a bunch of different ones claiming to be JC's on Google with different methods & ingredients.

[@Speeglelookingglass]

You over mixed the eggs and made a souffle. Mix only enough to dissolve the sugar. Cool the cream x 15 minutes. Mix with a wooden spoon. I made a souffle also.

[@sofianebouchou3733]

frenc people do eat it sometimes. It's just so much of a hassle that most people prefer buying it from the store. I mean technically, you do have to bake it in a bain marie. And some recipes call for gelatin, which in my book just makes everything taste bad.

just made custard for the first time last night......... just discovered it didn't set AT ALL. maybe the recipe was whack. the steps were different to the one you did, heating milk to a boil almost and then the order of operations. it's VEXING how they don't explain WTF they mean by coat the spoon. mine coated, and did the finger streak test but even bubbles can be stiff on there and stay. >:/ just really damn frustrated.

I think crème brûlée was a New Orleans thing - although we call it a cup custard. 😆 it’s flan. Made in a French colony, so creole. You could get it in local corner restaurants and Wise Cafeteria, very traditional in NOLA.
