Jacques Pépin: How to Debone a Quail

Chef Jacques Pépin demonstrates how to debone a quail.

[@mh-on7fp]

Pepin is the most pleasant, capable, experienced, and knowledgeable food expert this age has ever produced.

[@CarmenAmoros]

I have watched your cooking program for 4 decades. Thank you for your wonderful recipes and great tips.

[@namnhan2003]

Don't underestimate Jacques Pepin's handyworks....It looks so easy when he does it, but when i did it tonight for the first time in my life, it took me about 1/2 hour to debone ONE quail..!!! And how much did he take to do it? 5, 6 minutes? He is THE professional...Did i mention also that my deboned quail looked like a deformed, shapeless ball of carcass?

[@amandadube156]

were you speaking in a french accent? That might be the trick

[@burntsushii]

5 to 6 mins with explanation. But I think he once said it should be less than a minute to debone a bird.

[@aallpprr8998]

Debone 100 quails and you’ll get there

[@Chilax]

Not to mention he went slow to show how to do it

[@CookinginRussia]

He actually takes about 40 seconds in real life. I've seen him when he isn't going super slow and explaining everything.

[@stefanpremdas2074]

Thank you very much, This not only made thanksgiving dinner seniors friendly, but elevated the stuffed quail... mercy

[@balluumm1]

How absolutely marvelous to find you on KZbin. I remember watching you on TV many years ago and always considered you one of the best chefs I have ever seen. Thank you!!!

[@gigiomusic2001]

Thank you so much! I am Italian and I could not find any videos in my language in which they explain well how to debon the quail. Your video helped me a lot.

[@estermaranatha3391]

Omg. Thank you soo much. This helps me a lot for my butchery pratical exam tomorrow. Thank you so. God bless you.

[@jasonkim3758]

lol... "put back the filet which belongs to this little bird"

[@wilseph1]

The triple OG put respek on the quail's good name.

[@venomf0]

@@wilseph1 lmaooo

[@wilseph1]

@@venomf0 Real talk. This is a good reminder. Must rewatch the quail get deboned.

[@jamesritchie2167]

I love him! Humble but so incredibly talented! 👍🏻

[@MichaelScofield20243]

Idk why but I read the title as "How to become a quail" 😂

[@uekiguy5886]

You momentarily drifted into a parallel universe where people can have fowl-change operations.

[@GdGllyMolly]

I have ALWAYS wondered how that was done! Merci Bien!

[@Skimpole72]

Magnifique!! Un Chef d'Oeuvre !!! Je dois essayer!

[@rashidatcooking5615]

This video helped me with my exam today. Thank u

[@LiarNoseOnFire]

Great Video Chef,,,,,,,,,,,perfectly explained - no fuss - no drama,,, merci ! et Bon Apetit !

[@dorkygirlsurvivalist3482]

Raise quail and this is exactly what I needed.

[@luccheddu8197]

"It looks a bit of a mess" He said..."You should see mine" I say

[@abidzamir8193]

Medical students would be happy to see this joint cutting tutorial....

[@thewilde1274]

Amazing handy work! Thanks for posting.

[@Jeffrich308]

Great Video! Easy to Follow! Thanks! Going to try with a chicken shortly for supper tonight.

[@giggles2302]

He stuffed the filets up the bird's butt, lol. Seriously though, I need to try this with chicken. I love his programs, he teaches technique, not just recipes. His voice is so relaxing, and I love his accent. :)

[@user-tz9jh6pv2j]

Deboning chicken is much more of a mess than quail

[@rawia3025]

This is art

[@kqed]

💯

[@Barnekkid]

The man is a genius.

[@jakel5050]

The wishbone really was a pain in the neck....get it? Do ya get it?? Hahahahhahaha

[@christhurston728]

"This i will put in the stock" *chucks in the bin under the table*

[@thewilde1274]

Typically when you butcher, you keep a separate bin of all entrails and leftover parts. It is sort of like a "throwaway" stock bin. We throw all of it into a bucket and then throw into a pot later.

[@amandadube156]

+TheWilde but it's funner to picture him just gingerly tossing it on the floor and walking away.

[@guillaumesandmayer7053]

Ahh..a legend

[@mmallay]

Always great!

[@BenTre80]

Thanks, Mister.! I learn a good method form you; since , I am the cooker at home.Deboning a bird is a challenge . Many many thanks !

[@Intidad]

If you are the cooker, am I to assume your wife is the micro-wave oven?

[@BenTre80]

That is the one of bad side effects of equal’s gender.

[@Intidad]

Ben Tre cooker = appliance to cook... stove, gas or electric or wood/coal fired. cook = person who cooks.

[@BenTre80]

Roeland Peeters Great thank for your grammar; I today learn a good lesson. It is very easy to violate a very small mistake!

[@Intidad]

It is indeed ;) No trolling intended. It's just that I am an English teacher :D

[@seyo156]

Jacques Pépin is a God among lowly mortals.

[@sunilkhisti4887]

I loved it, so simple need some efforts

[@yellinga1]

chef..... I think australian quail .... ok.... amazing display..... and I so thank you for speaking english

[@raghu123notifi]

Would this technique work for a duck as well?

[@mcclelm]

He had me going there for a second!

[@jamesritchie2167]

He does modify the technique for Quail compared to chicken. He does not debone the drum stick on the quail. Perhaps too small a bird? I have some plump Bobwhite males ready for the chop so will see how it goes!😊👍🏻

[@esratasneem1113]

Yes, you are right. He has modified it compared to chicken deboning which is also a masterpiece like this quail.

[@loadi2865]

you put it back togeter but i dont think it will fly ( oh well back to the old drawing board...)

[@jlaspa]

I love this man!!

[@cvlts222]

*moist inhale*

[@brettd530]

That's sweet! I gotta try that.

[@theladiesman1987]

I can seem to get the rib cage and back to come off clean. I need more practice

[@elijahperez4925]

What do they taste like

[@sciencedaan11]

Wow

[@keywestalert6329]

He sure makes it look easy! Quail in my opinion is the perfect amount for a full grown human being to be satisfied and im 210 6 ft 4... ill be good with that and some starch

[@ChaosBW]

Or you could eat a half a cup of oatmeal and a head of broccoli That's more than your recommended daily dose of protien and calcium Don't get me wrong I'm no vegan I'm eating bacon and eggs typing this

[@opwave79]

Challenge accepted.

[@Red-jl5dq]

❤this is great I LOVE his temper,, take that Gordon Ramsey. What a turnoff just mentioned his name .

[@lycheesack]

I'm sure he can do it a lot faster if he weren't demonstrating for us newbs!

[@Dina_tankar_mina_ord]

Then again. that was your first time. make 12 and i can guarantee you that you bring up the speed real quick, :)

[@capcloud]

Wow insane.

[@DS_Foodtime]

2:50 min it’s still alive!!!!

[@asktheuniverse2718]

Boneless quail ranch 😂😂😂😂

[@wilseph1]

Jacques got mad jokes!

[@ragu4109]

For people with healthy teeth, deboning is not required. Quail bones are delicate, crunchy and delicious.

[@namnhan2003]

That time i did 6 quails because the package i bought has 6. And the time i spent for it, i dont think i will do it again...you do it for me next time or i just buy it deboned!!!

[@far8]

love the sound of saliva ..slurp slurp 😆😜

[@fo0l913]

52 quails downvoted this video

[@alexchand2969]

Special ranch

[@KinkyLettuce]

cameraman zooms out at the worst times

[@antoanarnaudov4494]

Do you know wath the bulgarian chef says-i can do it better...........do you want to see......?

[@luislizard2626]

Keep the close up ffs How do we learn if the camera is far ??? 😡🤬

[@ChefdeVT]

Jacques is showing, which to an advanced chef is difficult to understand

[@kentvogel411]

MESSR. Do not debone quail. Break leg bone with back of knife, then stuff with grape or other. Every Best Wish to Most Excellent MESSR. Pepin and his family!

[@JonathanSingh]

I want to eat some quails during one of these days!

[@wilseph1]

Pan fry that thang once you do. Glorious.

[@usausa8839]

Love ya Jacques but too much work

[@stogies3]

i hate it when he's drooling

[@jamesmac8424]

Don't watch if you hate it.

[@michaellindsay3931]

and i hate you even when you're not.

[@ladiesman903]

good , but i fell asleep.

[@adamgm84]

the thumbnail for this video kind of reminds me of goatse

[@ChaosBW]

This has more views than live quail videos Sad

[@diannt9583]

Well, that's because no one wants to eat them when they are live.

[@abidzamir8193]

Poor quail....
