You both work well together to demystify long-time commercial ingredients that we all have seen on labels and have never understood or completely trusted as being 'human friendly.' I am in my seventies, and I have been a serious home cook 'forever.' In recent years I have been looking to lift my 'game' from dinner club days into the Modernist Cuisine technology. My goal is 'natural', 'flavor neutral' and 'let the sun shine through!' Thank you for your videos. You are both bringing 'mystery' label ingredients to life for the home cook. In the end, these should become as 'natural' in a residential kitchen as baking powder.

Measuring spoons do exist in lesser amounts than 1/8th. I have a set of 4 measuring spoons that are called in descending order: "hint", "pinch", "smidge" and, smallest, "drop". "Hint" = 1/8th and the others are half of the one immediately larger. Your advice on appropriate usage of these amounts would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Hi I have a question, I am currently trying to transition to veganism and having a hard time to recreate some textures that cooked meat or eggs give. Specifically I want to make like a dumpling, that traditionally is made with a filling of meat , eggs and breadcrumbs. The raw filling will cook and solidify when the dumpling is boiled in hot broth. I tried to substitute the meat with mushrooms, and experimented to have the thickening effect with cornstarch, carob flour and semolina, which either gave a mushy or a dry texture. Could I use xanthan gum for creating a nice texture, that thickens the filling when boiled? What do you think would be the amount I have to use? Thanks in advance!

Hi, correct me if I'm wrong. For 1 litter of water .01 right? What about like for making an ice cream. Like my recipe weigh 1 litter and I need to dissolve it in water first before putting on my base cream. How much of water do i need to use for it to dissolve, like I dont want to put so much water in my ice cream base and at the same time I cant dissolve it directly to the cream.

We don't recommend dissolving xanthan in water first and them incorporating because that is very likely to lead to a gummy clump in your ice cream. Try dry blending the xanthan with the sugars in your recipe instead.

You forgot using it to get breads with 500% to 5000% hydration (5 to 50 times more water than flour). I mean, water-roux made from wheat flour gets you to 150% hydration easily, rice water-roux (with rice flour or with boiled rice blended with hot/warm water) gets you to 200% to 300% hydration (depending on the type of rice), so using xanthan gum for 500% hydration wouldn't be a far stretch (bad pun intended). And you can dissolve xanthan gum in oil, and then mix that with water. Either the water or the xanthan-gum-with-oil needs to be hot, while the other cold, for a proper smooth water-roux, without all those bubbles messing with the appearance and texture.

You can thicken gravy with xanthan gum, it's not our favorite product to use for gravies but if you're off starches then it could work. Try taking your favorite gravy recipe and adding 0.05% by weight to start and increasing by very tiny increments from there. The biggest mistake people make when using xanthan is using too much and ending up with a slimy texture.

How much does pH affect the thickening?
@Modernist_Pantry
@Modernist_Pantry 4 жыл бұрын
very low pH will always make gelling/thickening more difficult. There's no real chart for it.

Many words but not a single one about how much 0,05% is in grams. My scale has unfortunately not %.... Well, I figure it´s 0,5 grams.

@Modernist_Pantry Жыл бұрын
That is because a percentage is based on the total weight of other ingredients, which will be different for every recipe. It is simple math.

Go easy on the culinary dogma. The 'correct' concentration of xantam gum powder (or anything) and the resulting texture is determined by whatever the cook is trying to achieve, not some arbitrary percentage. You may want higher concentrations than you indicate here for many applications, baking for example, or if you're trying to achieve a jelly/gum like consistency. There are also many applications for the viscosity you're describing as 'messy'/ 'slimey' here, especially when one gets creative. Otherwise very informative video.

We always encourage experimentation but xanthan is best in small doses. We haven't found any good application for the slimy texture of overusing it
@dalenewton9697

@@Modernist_Pantry Yes I figured you hadn't found any uses for xanthan in more viscous form - doesn't mean there are any though, does it? When Xanthan is used in baking (biscuits/cakes etc.) you realise what happens to the xanthan-water concentration right? Inside the food it goes way past the 'slimey' stage level of viscosity and eventually becomes like a gum. It's that gumminess that holds the food together! There's little, or even zero, water in some baked foods. Other times it will be highly viscous, but it wont look or feel 'slimey' because it is IN the food, contributing to creating different textures. Why do higher concentrations that 0.5% mean that you are 'overusing' it?

A stick blender demo would be of value to us, who are amateur home cooks. Paraphrasing; “combining xanthan gum with locust bean gum creates a mixture, greater than the sum of its parts,” this demo too, would be of benefit to us, your viewers. Permission to speak freely? To the rep wearing his chef’s whites; a wee bit less waving of hands, would be far less distracting. Thanks for bringing your perfected xanthan gum to market, as an alternative.
