I'm really happy epicurious got stricter with the chefs! There was a time when they added whatever they wanted from their pantry which, in my opinion, defeated the purpose of these videos. It's much better now that they have to stick to what they've got, it forces them to get creative

Hearing James mention the kitchen as a work environment made me think how interesting it would be to hear about how a pro/commercial kitchen works in real life: roles, responsibilities, what a day looks like, how prep is different for a dish as compared to how it would be made at home, stuff like that.

If I had my own restaurant I would be glad to show everyone!

[@jjessus9405]

@@ChefJamesMakinson you can tell him something about it For me Days can look like 💩 sometimes somehow easier in the way that you have all spices you need normally, equipment to make whatever you want, you don’t worry on space to storage stuff and someone else is washing dishes 😁😁😁 On preparation kinda would differ normal restaurant preps almost everyday everything and catering preps in volume not the same menu in normal days so they always prepare stuff to use on that only day but not to re-use the day or days after the event, It is though when the restaurant or the catering company is on busy season because you can be going for crazy hours a week My personal hell was doing 184 hours in two weeks timeframe, I slept for almost two days in a row after that period (working for a tennis tournament at that time)

Eggs benedict is one of my favorite things to order when I'm on vacation and getting breakfast in a decent hotel or restaurant. It's something that I am fully capable of making at home, but I do not because I would eat myself into much larger clothes. (I really do love it that much. When I was in Florida for my sister's wedding, I was there for 5 days and I had eggs benedict every single morning.) Uncle Roger may not think highly of rotisserie chickens, but when I find a store that makes a good one and has them for $5 (or thereabouts), I tend to buy 2 at a time. I can make dinner with one, but the other gets taken apart and used for lots of other dishes. Bones go into a pot to make stock, and lo... $10 just gave me enough chicken and chicken stock for usually 6-8 meals. With groceries being so horrendously expensive right now... I can't easily get a pair of raw chickens for $10. so, it makes more sense to go with the rotisserie birds.

[@Meemo-ro9qh]

It was really fun watching the chef enjoying a lot in a single video. This is probably the first time I've seen this.

[@DrChaitanya.S]

It's cute to see the reactions of chef James when uncle Roger makes r rated jokes😂. Nice video chef 😊

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Thanks! 😃

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

But secretly on the inside, James might be 100% agreeing with him. 🤣🤣🤣

[@mckidney1]

For speed you can also get a pressure pot, they cost about the same as good rice cookers and chicken stock is 10m heating, 15m under pressure and pressure release can be reduced to about 5 minutes. Especially for veggies and cooked bones it is awesome. EDIT: The right hand rule is that increase of 10 degrees Celsius doubles the speed of extraction. So simmer is twice as fast as slow cook at 85C, but half the speed of rolling boil. Japanese clay pots can go even higher again being 2-4 times faster. electric pressure cookers stop at 70kPa for safety. This corresponds to aroung 150C. This only works if you are doing an extraction - for example tea would be very bitter, because the temperature regulates what flavors you separate from the unwanted tastes. This also works for extracting toxins, for example out of raw beans can be cooked and retain texture.

[@snowcrashshaftoe]

yeah!! i use a pressure pot for the same purpose

[@mckidney1]

@@snowcrashshaftoe Just you wait, not just stock, broth, rice and stew. But you can use them for sous vide (Careful to add always extra water since there is no pump), yogurt, fermentation, pasterization of sauces. As you grow with technical knowledge from @ChefJamesMakinson, it will become an incredible tool.

[@thoughtfulfreespace]

Definitely gotta check out some of the cooking videos you mentioned. I agree that it's nice to see Uncle Roger review a regular video and see some cool stuff done. Seeing a chef maximize how they use ingredients is very admirable/cool. Thanks for the video!

Hazing in the kitchen. I remember when I went to chef school as an entry pupil and had never been in a real kitchen. On the school egg yolks and whites came in big plastic containers. So when I finally did get an apprenticeship, on one of my first days I was asked to go to their cellar and get some egg yolks. I went down to this splendid pantry where everything was just fresh ingredients, I looked around for a few minutes and eventually concluded I was wasting time looking for their plastic container egg yolks. Went back upstairs and asked, "Where are the egg yolks?" The chef looked at me with a bewildered look and replied "Inside the eggs" I felt a bit stupid for a moment, but was also pretty impressed by their dedication to fresh ingredients. Fast forward to me making pasta with like 50 egg yolks, and then getting asked what I'd done with the whites, I instantly got an image in my head of having this embarrassing bowl of egg shells and whites. They only asked for the yolks, and I didn't really consider they were also gonna use the egg whites for something.. Whoops. They were pretty particular about what I should do with everything I touched for the next couple of days.

[@user-ps1ft1hy4j]

Also, Sapporo Ichiban was the best ramen noodle I ever came across. It used to be the same price as other common ramen(decades ago!) but now is 4x the price or more. The taste and texture is absolutely superior!

I love the idea of saving and crisping the chicken skin and using it for texture/flavor...! I've been saving my rotisserie chicken skin - for a future project and I think this will be it!

It would have only taken maybe an extra 30 - 40 minutes... would that have been worth doing under time constraints?

It can take up to 15 minutes to do (depending on the amount i make). I'm doing it this way to try and make the final product as clear as possible. But: 1) Am i making it worse this way? Am i removing some flavor from it? 2) Does it even make any difference? Thank you

you put a paper towel in the strainer with the ingredients why?? you just need a fine mesh sieve and you may have to pass it a few times. or you could pass with with a muslin cloth

@@ChefJamesMakinson Ok. Thanx!

James I really do believe you are right about Uncle Roger truly loving Aunty Esther. They do say a way to a man's heart is through his stomach, but think it might be somewhere else with Uncle Roger LMAO 🤣🤣🤣. Talking about eggs, anyone who has an egg white omelette will never be a friend of mine, they can hang out with a vegan. A egg yolk omelette hmm 🤔 that is interesting. Great reaction video chef James.

Had a great friend in Singapore, we were eating White Chicken rice. So I put the White skin away. And so he said that is the best part. And I took his meat away to my plate, straight away he asked what are you doing, I said you have the best part and I have the not so good part.😅😅

Enjoyed watching the video. My takeaway from this video is: "The sauce makes the dish"

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

good to hear! :)

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

My takeaway is - if you want to have a great marriage, find a person just like Esther is. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Those rotisserie chickens make the best soup. But I don't break the bones in half, makes the broth bitter. Break them apart from carcass but don't crack the actual bones, imo. And I fry the skin too, like she did. NEVER put already cooked skin in the broth.

I think Uncle Roger is a bit jealois of Auntie Esther's husband he refers to in his videos as "Peanut Allergy Guy" 😉🤣

Shin is an amazing brand so good

I hope someday you get to cook with Uncle Roger. Felicidades por tu canal, espero pronto pongas un video de comida mexicana, ¡pero buena! no como esas enchiladas horribles de Cooking with Jack jajaja. ¡Saludos desde México!

[@fernbrisot325]

You have cooked in some many countries, Chef James. Do you have a favorite country, region, restaurant or style of food in your resume? And if I was going to give you a nickname, it would be along the lines of Shakin' Makin(son). Thank for your informative videos. You make the internet smarter. 😺

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

Yes France and Spain!

[@Enthusiastic-Trainspotter-BNE]

​@@ChefJamesMakinsonha, I definitely would had guessed Spain myself 😅😂

Helllo Mr. James i have a question, im still practicing at cooking, does using the juices/liquid from Vegatables/ Meat skin to create the soup actually works best than using water To create a soup?

[@ChefJamesMakinson]

yes as stock have more flavor and nutrients then just plan water

[@Memesifoundonfacebook]

@@ChefJamesMakinson Okay thanksss but last question do you know the secret of Frying food without it sticking to the pan? I wish i have a Non stick but i only have this small local wok it sticks very often its quite annoying are there any techniques that you know? To prevent it from sticking when frying
