    Hey all, if you've looked through the comments on my previous video about how garlic works as an emulsifier, you know that learned people have issues with how I explain why the emulsion won't form if there's too much oil. Having reviewed their reasoning and my own, I stand by my characterizations. However, something I should have said in this video is that you absolutely can get away with just dunking in a ton of oil (up to a point) if you use a blender or some other kind of power tool to whiz it up. You'll still ultimately be limited by the proportion of oil and water and emulsifiers in there, but it's much easier to bash the oil into tiny droplets and get the emulsion going if you use a power tool. I think it's really quite easy to make such a small quantity of aioli with just a knife, a spoon and a bowl, so that's what I did here. I like to keep things simple. But you do you. If you want to learn more about these issues, see my previous video, and the comments: ruclips.net/video/fqHqEGGz1tE/видео.html

      @ccbowers 2 года назад +24

      I will try this as well, as it may be better. When I had this issue with grilling (creating a dry chewy external 'skin' to the meat) , adding oil on the surface of the chicken prevents the drying out part. So now I spritz anything I grill with oil. It also seems to help the browning process in general be more uniform.

    As part of a home university experiment last fall, I had to cook a clay brick in the oven to dry it out (testing the moisture retaining properties of a brick). Afterwards I had the fun idea to use the hot brick to seer a burger on both sides simultaneously, best burger I've ever made indoors.

    • @Thrillhou
      @Thrillhou 2 года назад +42

      I usually use either a cast iron burger press, or I just get two cast iron skillets ripping hot (nest one inside the other) and cook the burger between them.
      Super fast cooking time, much less smoke, less oil required, end up with a perfect smash-patty.
      The trick is to -take your time- letting the cast irons get up to temperature. Don't just blast them on high and hope for the best.
      My current living situation doesn't really have room for a proper grill, but it's the easiest way I've found of making excellent indoor burgers.

Thanks Adam!

  • @valiyzf600
    @valiyzf600 Год назад +4

    A little Romanian cooking tip, if you really like garlic like we do and you want a very special garlic sauce (mujdei in Romanian): you can make it the same consistency of whipped cream by making it into a paste and mixing and whipping the hell out of it together with a very light neutral oil like sun flower oil and sea salt, until it is finished. The result is an amazing thing and it doesn't need any other things in it. The garlic taste also is much more pronounced. We use it with fish (we almost always eat fish with garlic like this) and with chicken (but we also make garlic + yogurt or sour cream and herbs for chicken).

    A trick my mom taught me: do not stack your slippery vegetables. Similar to how you say to put a slice of cheese between 2 pieces of chicken so they don't slip across each other, it is better to put your lettuce facing one side of bun, and your tomato facing the other side of bun. This allows the lettuce and tomato to grip the texture of the bun each and makes it so the lettuce and tomato aren't sliding across one another. An example assembly to illustrate: top bun, lettuce, chicken, tomato, bottom bun.

    'Unhealthy' version does not even seem that unhealthy! At least relative to the original product. Just added 2 slices of cheese and maybe 1 tsp more butter. Feel like the amount of lettuce is nutritionally small so having it or not wouldn't make a huge difference. Love the recipe! And the breast scoring is a huge tip I hadn't heard before

    Where I live in Spain, it's pretty typical to only use garlic and olive oil for aioli. Of course, it ends up much stronger, but we generally use it with meats such as lamb, by eating a bit of lamb, a bit of bread and a little bit of the aioli at a time. Since you can choose how much is right for you eating that way, it being so pungent isn't really an issue.

    The most important benefit of the weight beyond the Maillard reaction browning is the fact that the meat fibres doesn't curl in on themselves - however, having already scored the meat in advance really reduces that problem significantly. Still, the weight is really beneficial to this sort of thing anyway.

    Hi, Adam-I wouldn’t recommend storing the aioli at room temperature, as garlic stored in oil at room temperature is at particular danger of developing botulism. Even in the fridge it’s only safe to store three or four days.

    @1:45 I never have this issue because I always tenderize. Even if I'm not making a flattened filet, I'll make sure to tenderize just enough to break down the fibers but also retain the thickness. It' s a nice alternative if you're like me and your knives suck.

    3-- post cook marinade after the heat has damaged muscle fibbers
    4- try pre heating your brick
    5- Smoked paprika for a more complex flavour with a bit of all spice
