I'd like to see a Cast Iron 101 video. I've been thinking of getting myself a cast iron skillet, but I know you can't treat them like the non-stick skillets I already have in the kitchen. Tell us about the benefits and drawbacks of cast iron compared to other cookware, how to properly clean and care for cast iron, and what you look for when you're shopping for a new cast iron piece for your kitchen.

Hey Chef! Hardcore chef Dad of almost 11 years here. I appreciate you and am so thankful for your videos. What about one on food safety/ handling of raw meats? I'm mean, we all know not to chuck a raw chicken cutlet across your counter without washing, or line your beef, poultrys, & seafoods up on your cutting board. I feel like I wash my hands a couple dozen times while handling raw meats. But when I watch y'all professional chefs, y'all (not you exactly but chefs in general) seem to comfortably touch all over the meat, poke at it softly while talking about it, picking it up alot....then maybe grab the pepper grinder (put it back), grab your knife, use it, set it back down. All without running back and forth rinsing your hands all the time and washing things off. I would truly value your input on this to calm my obvious over cautiousness.
@dyanetti3 жыл бұрын
i second this. I asked a similar question to a recent ProtoCooks vid. I must wash my hands 10x more frequently than necessary. What does a chef really do?
@thegentlemandrummer87533 жыл бұрын
Typically when I BBQ I do the same thing. I grab utensils and seasoning bottles after handling raw meat. What I do to save time is I have two tongs and two cutting boards: one for raw meat, one for cooked meat/food. I can move food around and not worry about it being contaminated because I didn’t touch it with my hands. Once I’m done, I wipe down all my utensils, seasoning bottles, etc, with soap and water or cleaning product. I don’t worry about contaminating equipment because I’m going to wash it anyways. As long as the food, plates, and utensils used for eating aren’t contaminated, I’m happy with that! Takes a couple extra minutes after to clean, but I rather that than wash my hands more than 3-5 times in one cooking session. Hope this helps😊

I would like to see many more such "cooking skills" on your channel in the future (yes, I realize this is three years old at this point now - but I've just recently found your excellent videos.) I like using copper pans for how quickly they react to heat changes, but they come with three linings. Stainless steel linings, I consider to be a pretty pan, but basically a stainless steel pan. Tin, which is expensive but affordable enough, but tin can melt at 450 F, and I wonder if that is a problem with sauteing? Silver lined, which is very expensive, but silver being able to take heat up to 1800 F plus, would never have any problems if one makes a mistake. What are your thoughts on this topic? Lastly, a brand that I like very much is duparquet. Their pans for sauteing have straight sides, following patterns from historical pans of about 120 years ago. What am I missing, or missunderstanding?

Frank when I sautee my whole stovetop gets covered with splattered oil, is there a way to minimize this? I own splatter guards but they suck mine end up getting burnt after uses
@jimysk8er3 жыл бұрын
It's bound to happen, that's why its a good habit to clean often just like a good restaurant should. The spatter is caused by the water in the food you're cooking coming out and turning to steam immediately (think water on a grease fire idea). You can try using a bit less fat so that the oil droplets are a little smaller and toss things around a bit to spread things out. Mushrooms (which have lots of water like frank said) benefit really well from dry sauteing for a few minutes before adding oil. It draws out moisture first and makes it so they don't soak up as much oil. Alternatively you can explore roasting some of the foods you would usually think should only be sauted. Use the same principles, high heat short amount of time.
@skeptic39393 жыл бұрын

@bobkoss2803 жыл бұрын
America's Test Kitchen says to salt steak in advance so that the moisture is drawn out, dissolves the salt, and the salt water is drawn back into the steak, giving it flavor. Exactly the opposite of what you said. Did you guys just go to different schools? Love the channel.

This is by far the most successful method I've used to get good browning on steak. Salted and uncovered in the fridge overnight makes the best/crispest steak I've had in my life. Even on a propane grill.
@jcramberry3 жыл бұрын
If you salt an hour or more before you're right. If you salt half an hour or less before the steak doesn't have time to reabsorb the water and the water will negatively impact browning. If your not salting an hour or more in advance then salt just before sauteing.

Hello Chef! Thank you for another amazing video! But I have a question for you, how to get good browning on ground meat? How much is too much on a pan and how to make sure everything is cooked well?
@gnomeandgarden61573 жыл бұрын
Ground meat has a lot more surface area, so it's going to shed moisture faster than a whole piece. Once your meat is surrounded by juices, it's boiling instead of sauteing. Add less meat than will cover the pan(try starting with half), spread it out quickly, and work in batches. This will help the released juices get cooked off more quickly.
@ytreece3 жыл бұрын
All you have to do is wait until the water evaporates. The sound of the meat sizzling will change, and it will brown. There’s no need to batch ground beef unless you’re cooking several pounds. I routinely brown 2lbs in the skillet shown.

What I never understood with steak and other meat resting is the temperature. If you let it rest at room temperature then the meat gets cold until it is finished resting. If you let it rest in the oven it keeps cooking slowly (depends on the temperature). Additionally it is a bit tedious to turn on the oven every time you cook meat (and uses a lot of power aswell). Can someone help me and explain how I can let my meat rest, without it cooling down. Is there any way to do it without turning on my oven every time?
