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.

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.

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!

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.

@@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.

Hi Nelson , if you have an opportunity to catch any of the more recent WTFs we are definitely doing way more demos based on feedback. And yes, once we've covered all the basics we'll be circling back to some of our favorite techniques and going into greater detail on them
