  • Chef Dan Giusti returns for the next episode of The Smart Cook and this time we've challenged him to expand our egg-making horizons without breaking the bank. Watch as Dan prepares an entire day's worth of meals, each elevating eggs from the ordinary to something nutritious and delicious. The best part? All 3 egg dishes cost under $3 a serving.
    Dan Giusti, formerly the head chef of Noma, is the founder of Brigaid, a company that places professional chefs into institutional food spaces like public schools. Brigaid chefs bring their experience, knowledge and technique to institutional kitchens to improve food quality. Similar to how Brigaid works--by bringing professional chefs into institutional spaces to apply their knowledge to new environments-- The Smart Cook intends to do the same by bringing Chef Dan's experience and knowhow into your home with delicious recipes prepared on a budget.

    I love your way of thinking about food on such a complex way. It is the flavor, it is the nutrients, it is the time needed to prepare, it is the cost, and, it is the energy used for cooking. I loved that you used the same pot of boiling water to cook the asparagus, to pouch the eggs and to double boil the sauce.
    For me that asparagus dish with the Hollandaise and pouched egg is a brunch dish for lazy mornings to celebrate something. To celebrate a birthday, or the first day of a vacation. Or, the last day of the same vacation 🙂That dish is really for special holidays.

  • @HeronCoyote1234
    @HeronCoyote1234 Год назад +8

    Tips on eggs:
    To see if the egg is fresh or past its prime, put a raw egg in a large bowl of water (or two-cup measuring cup). Opposite of a drowning man: if it sinks, it’s good. If it floats, it’s bad.
    To clean up a raw egg that’s fallen on the floor (and you don’t have a dog), pour a generous mound of salt on it. The salt coagulates the egg, making it much easier to scoop up.
    If you have raw and hard-boiled eggs in the fridge, to tell the difference, spin them. Raw is all over the place, cooked is a more uniform spin. Also, when boiling your eggs, add an ordinary teabag to the water. It will color the hb eggs tan.
    When you’re putting dishes, bowls, utensils that have raw egg on/in them, use COLD water initially (this works for pots of oatmeal as well). Hot water will cook the egg onto the surface, making it harder to clean.

    • @nolarc1640
      @nolarc1640 Год назад +3

      The floating egg only means it has aged and has extra air in it. It does not necessarily mean that it's bad/rotten. If concerned about the quality of an egg, crack it into it's own bowl and give it a sniff. The nose knows! (It will be obviously bad)

    Well, Carbonara is very easy to mess up for most people. Biggest mistake they make: keep the pot on the heat. Don't do that and just work with the residual heat of the pot and the pasta and you're good, otherwise you have pasta with scrambled egg - not good.

    Raisinated is actually a term for grapes. So I think it is a word.

    A question for anyone who has an answer: if I were to roast my own peppers, could I roast up a few and store them in the refrigerator in a container filled with olive oil?
