Some amazing tips here. Getting a tiny spatula asap to immediately stop wasting mayonnaise.

Man, you’ve got a certain thing about you that makes the way you communicate super easy to listen to. It’s understated, it’s not flashy, but it’s super confident and the food you put out looks top notch. Can’t wait to see where your channel and other accounts go. Keep it up man!

[@32Flavors]

Right. Would LOVE to work under this fella.

Pastry cook from a fine dining restaurant/ hotel here and saying this list was perfect. This was everything I would bring into work everyday. Jealous of your spoon collection

[@seattlethistle]

I would LOVE to see a video just about knives!

[@suvivaldude]

dude these videos are so awesome, this is stuff that not a lot of cooking youtubers make videos about. so good man.

[@dirtyketchup]

Oooh. Definitely learning a lot. I didn't know the lady Hamiltons were designed like that. I just knew about the special quenelle shaped curves. I also love that you mentioned the kitchen scale, since I am thinking of making my own video just about why you should ditch your measuring cups for scales, and ditch recipes that don't use weight. One small thing to note, though, 1ml is really only 1g in water-based liquids with a relatively-watery viscosity, so if I am measuring water, unreduced stock or broth, vinegars, or even milk, I can safely just use 240g per cup of measurement (funny thing about the milk. Even though the fat should be making it weigh less, the lipids allow the milk density to also tighten, so the 236g-240g still holds true). However, when you start adding fats into things or using varied viscosities, it can really change things up. Like heavy cream and most vinegars only weigh 230g per cup, honey weighs 340g per cup, and most cooking fats only about 215g per cup. Not trying to pick you apart, because I still use my scale to measure all of those things, but I figured I'd at least mention that it can vary, and it's an important distinction, since the whole point of using the scale is to increase accuracy.

Binge watching your videos... and your shorts are addictive.

[@monia1102]

Great video! My daughter is 15 and she’s always telling me she wants to be a chef. She’s taking culinary class in HS right now and I can tell she’s really enjoying it. I’m going to get her some of these tools. She actually has cooking tools on her Xmas list 😁 you made my shopping easy!! 🥰😘😘

[@mariomolnar3184]

This is awesome. I would just like to mention that the 1 gram = 1 mililiter is true only for water. Milk, mustard (etc) have different densities than water, so 1g will not equal 1ml

[@pannalev]

Water and most granulated sugars

[@KeieiH]

I feel like I'm learning more from you than I have from any other food channel I've ever watched. 😮 I love it! Thank you for sharing!

[@notkyleschultz]

That was excellent & let me tell you that there is no other place you can go to find kitchen commentary at this lvl. Your attention to fine details & then your ability to communicate that information clearly & w/nuance is second to none. Your videos are literal sage advice for anyone looking to enrich their skills. You're rly putting a whole community under your wing w/these videos. Blese you Also where'd your get your apron?

i can't tell you how much i enjoy your videos. they're so informative, yet calming. cat videos have nothing on this content!

You're a great teacher for your craft. Love learning from pro chef.

[@Macklyn3232]

As usual...you speak...I learn. You just taught me more indispensable info than anyone else. You are so well spoken and easy to listen to. Thank you

[@nightshaderach]

I absolutely love the ‘when and doubt end the video’ honestly the only videos I watch to the actual end!

[@beauty_enthusiast]

I love what you’re doing here, Papi! So down to earth and accessible for the home cook that wants to take their skills to the next level. I vote for a video on knives next! I really want to hear about your Japanese knives. Also, can you share with us where you trained?

[@Sam-qn4ly]

Loving the new content! cant wait for you to get big on KZbin, your content is stellar.

[@jaquelinejones6026]

I’ve worked front of house in a hotel lounge/restaurant for 12 years. When I first started, it was a celebrity chef chophouse. I quickly developed a crazy amount of respect for the men and woman that work in kitchens. Its not an easy job, and not everyone is built for it! I enjoy cooking, but it’s always been just for my family. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to work in a professional kitchen. I feel like I know more than the average person, giving my upscale restaurant experience, but I know I have so much more to learn. Your videos really help! You are super talented, Brandon! Whenever the quarantine is lifted, I’d love to visit whatever restaurant’s kitchen you work in! I believe you’re in so cal, right? I’m in Long Beach 😎

[@stephanieburden5593]

You talk with meaning and passion. You can tell how passionate you are about cooking and your tools, especially your spoons ;)

[@kymh4357]

I had a fish spatula that was my grandma's. It was old, solid and I'm great shape. You reminded I lost it when I saw yours so I bought some new things today. Thanks!

[@Fooooooooooooooz]

An insight on how you became a cook, how to get into high end dining would be great. Amazing value on every single video keep it up!

[@brilee1991]

Thank you for mentioning not using a knife for transfer lol got jabbed in the arm once/seen it happen to others. Not to mention running from one station to another with a knife 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@shmeggs12]

I’ve recently added a mandolin to my knife bag and tweezer tongs.

[@susancassell3454]

Thank you for sharing tools. Got a pair of rather long tweezers about a month ago and am using them all the time. Home cook here so not so much plating. Using them to move items around and out of pan.

[@tonypc84]

Thank you, great comprehensive information

[@kerrysue9280]

This was super informative and relaxing ☺

"You#re gonna loose about 50 of them so buy a lot".....oooh I felt that

[@broado1]

Since watching your videos I've been using my bowl scraper SO MUCH MORE! 😅 I've had it a-g-e-s and it literally never occurred to me to use it for anything other than scraping dough out of a bowl when I'm baking bread! I'm by no means a chef, I have no desire to work in a kitchen in any capacity. (Think I'd get stressed too easily) but I LOVE cooking and for years I've made two or three trips from the board to the pan with a knife full of stuff and dropped it on the way (which is all of 2 feet away! I'm a klutz!) The only alternative that ever occurred to me was seeing an Asian chef on tv using a cleaver and thinking "Ooh I could fit more stuff on a cleaver than on my knife, maybe that's what I need." Like all the best ideas it's so simple I can't believe it never occurred to me! 😅 AND the Seive thing! Thanks Papi! You're game changer! (again!) 😃 Right! I'm off to buy a sieve thing and hunt for some beautiful spoons!

[@acohen4065]

This was so helpful. Thank you aa always. Please do a video on knives. I love my paring knife and santoku, but would appreciate learning about other knives I maybe should be using.

[@adrigasteazoro]

Can you do a video on non-essential gadgets that you consider worth having if you enjoy spending time in the kitchen? Like a dehydrator or a sous vide?

[@DiegoToussaint]

Hey men thanks for the content !!! I need to find those tweezers!

[@elissak2811]

Thanks for the video. I use chopsticks in place of tweezers. Will have to look into getting a fish spatula!

Hello Papi! Can you please make something with avocado? Maybe even some kind of snack or something more fancy. I love it so much I cut it in half, season it, and eat it with a spoon, but I also want to try something chef'y. Appreciate your videos very much!

Super helpful interesting video 🙏 some of those tools i already habe and some of them i defenetly need 😅 Why there cant be tiny solts in my teewesers? 🤔

600g of milk is not the same as 600ml of milk. 600ml of milk are 618g because it has a higher density than water! With thick sauces or honey the difference is even larger!

I get having your own knives but do most kitchens not supply whisks, spatulas, bench scrapers, and spoons? I've seen most of that stuff in BOH.

[@sad_papi2354]

There are house tools for general things but mostly cooks bring their own tools

[@SherwoodTaz]

@@sad_papi2354 Got it. You said what you carry in your knife bag so I was surprised to see so much that a restaurant should supply, but that's me - I'm no pro cook.

[@sad_papi2354]

@@SherwoodTaz haha we leave some tools at work. We either have sheet trays with our stuff on it, lockers, or little boxes. I would always take my knives home just in case but most of the other stuff like scales, spatulas, etc would stay there in a little kit
