    This looks nice, but it's really not the way that we do creamed leeks in Europe. We sweat the leeks on a low heat with butter, no need for oil as the leeks release lots of moisture. In a separate pan, make a classic french mother sauce ( a roux combining butter flour and milk) adding seasoning as you see fit. Personally for me it's sage, dijon mustard, S+P and once off the heat a scoop of soft french cheese and combine the two and brown in the oven.

    Interesting, I always try to sear the whole roast, I like the way you cut it into sections. My family loves the veggies, not the celery, though. I put my veggies in towards the end or put in big chunks that will not be overcooked. The onion, I quarter, for my husband. I like making the diced veggies a part of the gravy. Thank you. 😊

    • @BecomingaCook
      @BecomingaCook 2 года назад

      Thank you for commenting. I used to sear mine whole, too. I changed because I like the flavor better with each piece seared. Plus, it's ready to serve without having to break it up in the pot, since that sometimes shreds it.

    Growing up, my mom would randomly boiled or steamed broccoli. I just enjoyed it when it was bright green. However, steaming is the best way to eat cooked broccoli with minimal loss of antioxidants and most nutrients. The worst and lazy way is to microwave it!

    • @BecomingaCook
      @BecomingaCook 2 года назад

      I've heard that. For me, flavor is more important. We also roast it. Not sure how that impacts nutrients. I guess if I were hard core, I'd use the broccoli water as a base for a vegetable stock.

    Charlie, what kind of knives do you use or recommend. Our Cutco knives are at the end of there lifespan. Good to see you again. DW

    • @BecomingaCook
      @BecomingaCook 2 года назад

      HI Dennis. It's great to hear from you. It may depend on. what kind of cooking you do . . . If you want almost indestructible knives, I'd recommend Wustof or Henckels. Or Mercer, a brand marketed to restaurant cooks. All three sell lots of models. Choose forged blades (not stamped) made with German steel. It's important you put your hands on them to make sure you like the feel and security of the handle. If you want really sharp knives, I can also recommend Shun--Japanese steel, often Damascus. The blades are thin, so they slice well. But they are more delicate. I broke the tip on my chef's knife and had to have it reground. Shuns don't have a bolster, so I cut myself on the knife's heel when I first got them. (I sometimes keep the knife in my hand while using my fingers.) Also, because the grind angle on Shuns is steeper, they recommend that they sharpen them, which they'll do if you pay the shipping to send them to them. If I'm doing a bunch of heavy work and going to lean heavily on the back of the blade, I don't use a Shun because it hurts my hand.But if you are used to Cutco, that wouldn't bother you. I had Cutco knives many years ago. I think they may be guaranteed for life, so they may be willing to replace them if you wanted them too. I hope this is helpful. I'll be glad to answer any other questions you may have. Charlie

    • @BecomingaCook
      @BecomingaCook 2 года назад

      Hi. In this video, I'm using a Shun Premier 8 inch. The good is that it's very sharp. The bad is that it's a little bit delicate. I broke the point a month or two after I bought it and had to have it reground. And Shun recommends sending it to them to be sharpened, which they do for free, but the knife owner pays shipping both ways. My biggest complaints with the knife, besides its not being rugged, are that the spine of the knife is thin, so it's hard to lean on it heavily for difficult work, and it has no bolster, so it's easy to cut yourself on the heel of the knife. I often keep a knife in my hand instead of setting it down while working, like when peeling garlic. I also own chef's knives by Henckels, Wustof, Mercer, and Imarku. I'm still looking for the holy grail of knives.

    Charlie, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! Explain to your viewers, NEVER, EVER, EVER cut in an UPWARD MOTION with your knife, as you did on a couple of occasions. ALWAYS CUT DOWN TO THE TABLE!!! As a meat cutter of 35 yrs, that's MEAT CUTTING 101!! Also, a six inch boning knife may be the best tool for cutting a chicken into pieces. I've NEVER known a meat cutter to use an EIGHT INCH knife for this specific task. If you're going to publish INFORMATIONAL VIDEOS, please do a little research. Lots of folks will take your word as GOSPEL...

    • @BecomingaCook

      Hi Tim. Thanks for the comment. I agree that a boning knife is the best tool for cutting up a chicken, though working as a chef years ago, I learned to do just about everything with a chef's knife. That includes some of the detail work in my handthat's better done with a paring knife, like trimming the apple before slicing it with a chef's knife. Next time I'll show the safer way to do that on the board.
