    Lan and team, thank you so much for these videos. I just watched the knife skills and salting/brining meats video. SO helpful. I'm a full time SAHM and would love to go to culinary school just to up my game at home for my family. These give a lot of hope and encouragement in the kitchen. I can't wait to pass on these skills to my boys. Thank you all for your hard work!!

    Growing up in South Carolina in the late 60's early 70's, it was nothing unusual to have "breakfast" grits, scrambled eggs, bacon or country sausage (most of which vame from my maternal grandparents country store), with mom's homemade buttermilk biscuits for supper. This episode made me want "breakfast" for supper tonight. Soft scrambled eggs (still so runny as to have egg soak into my bread) cooked in some bacon fat with bacon bits & cheddar cheese over lightly toasted bread.

    I’ve made my omelets like this for years! Who knew?! It always works! I do mine in a stainless steel skillet and, while it’s resting (covered) I clean up my mess. Don’t know why but It never sticks - must be the residual heat in the skillet causing enough steam to have it release from the pan during that resting period.

    Nice omelette! Something I do to any omelette, plain or one with lots of filling, is add some ground rosemary to the egg. Try it, it's amazing. Also, y'all should do a taste test of an egg fried in a stainless and cast iron skillet verses fired in a nonstick skillet. I threw away all of my nonstick skillets and plastic utensils years ago. Nasty tasting stuff. Occasionally season stainless or cast iron by getting it very hot, pour in a little oil, add a about a 1/4 cup of course salt and grind it into the pan. Wipe out the pan and eggs will glide over the surface. You have to season stainless more often than the cast iron.

      @@davids8267 Sure, try it, works great. Hot pan, vegetable oil, a bunch of course salt. Use a rag (I use a wad of paper towels), grind the salt in, wipe it out. An egg will glide around in the pan better than Teflon. Wipe food out after that. If you wash it you have to re-season. And you'll still have to re-season more frequently than cast iron.

    I think I would have liked to see the coffee taste test conducted with folks who are more enthusiastic about the flavor of coffee and less utilitarian.
    Someone who is trying to decide between multiple cold brew brands probably likes the taste of coffee -- these products are not made for people who only want hot conference room coffee. I personally love Chameleon, but I rarely buy it because it is expensive. With milk it's bold enough to taste like an ice latte. I also got excited when I saw the Walking Bear box -- I would have liked to have heard what yall thought of it.

    Jack Bishop is like the Mr. Rodgers of cooking shows! Always great.
    On the other hand, why does Erin weigh the pork for salt content but not the spice content? Because this is a fresh sausage you don't need to worry about salt content for preservation, just for taste. It is also more effective to add the salt to the mixture when you grind, or after you grind and let it rest. It will penetrate quicker. Also, you already have your KitchenAid out. Why not just mix with the paddle attachment to achieve your primary bind?
