How about a video on what you can and can not put down a garbage disposal, what not to put down the drain, ect. Can be easy tips for saving people a lot of trouble! A lot is maintaining a kitchen as well!
My tip for lettuce. Use a large flat storage container such as a 11 x 13 x 5 inch. Now wash all the leaves and break off the excess ends. This works for romane, red or green leaf, and bib lettuces. Now place a sheet of papertowel on the bottom. Now a layer of leaves that don't touch (touching willl encourage rot.) Now a double layer of papertowels. Repeat layers until full. Close and refridgerate. The papertowels keeps enough moisture to keep the leaves crisp, while wicking away excess moistuere that promotes rot. This is especially great for me since i'm single. I have keeep lettuce for two or more weeks this way.
Yes. I store my leafy greens (lettuce, cabbage etc) in a plastic bag with a couple sheets of paper towel and they keep days longer. I have to say, I purchased some of those veg keepers from a big box store being skeptical of them and....I bought another set. I especially like them for carrots.
for root veggies they keep for months and months just kept cool and dry. They really should never be in a fridge at all (except maybe if you live in a very hot climate). I keep them in bins under clean sand. The sand keeps them both dry and dark. All root vegetables will sprout if exposed to light and that can vary from lowering the quality to actually making them toxic (potatoes). If you aren't as cheap and don't buy in the quantities I buy in then just put them in bins somewhere cool, dark and dry and they'll last for weeks. Humidity at the levels you find in a fridge is not good for most of them, maybe for all of them I don't know for sure.
Great tips! Thank you. I found out by mistake to leave my lettuce on the middle rack and bag open. I already take the elastics off and don't wash until I need it.
When I was younger I never pulled back the husk to see if the kernels were plump. I pulled back the husk to see if there were maggots inside right at the top.
Excellent guidance by Jack , as always. Just a point , I never put tomatoes in the freezer.They loose their taste.Even if after some time I need to discard some of them.
I work at a major UK heritage Tomato company. You should NEVER put tomatoes in a fridge. It breaks down the sugar levels making the less sweet. Believe the science.
We never bought carrots w/greens attached until I got a rabbit, because it costs more. Then we started buying them to feed the green tops to the rabbit and discovered how much better they are! (But also learned lessons about leaving the tops on too long.)
never understood the soggy lettuce that grocery stores continually sog-up with spraying even more. I always try to find one that isn't hit by the misters and remained dry. Lasts way longer.
Misters are useful if the market's produce aisle does not have refrigeration. They were originally used to provide evaporative cooling, not keep them soggy. And cool lettuce lasts longer. The more you know, right?
@@FierceMice that would help if they didn’t also refrigerate them, and the misters go off every 30 seconds. But thanks for providing the original reason! Makes sense.
Great video. I've always been told not to store potatoes in the refrigerator. Yet people story potatoes in root cellars, which are very cool. What's the difference?
QUESTION: Lisa did a review last year Woks vs. Skillets: Do you need both? On November 13, 2020. What was the single gas grill she used, please? 6:44 into the show. I'm sure it was either butane or propane but what brand and name is it? There are several of us that want to know but we didn't get an answer. Thank you. I know there are a lot out there but those are shown as outdoor use and she used this one in her kitchen. Althea
ALTHEA, ANSWER: Lisa did a Q+A called 'Lisa McManus Answers Your Questions About Woks | Gear Heads'. In the video the single gas grill Lisa says she used can be heard at the 1:03 mark. It's an Iwatani butane Stove. In that video, she doesn't exactly endorse/ recommend the portable stove but says it worked for the purposes of the video demonstrating the wok. As for your comment about the stove Lisa uses as being being meant for outdoor use - I think you are incorrect. While these stoves are often used by campers outside, they are also widely used inside by caterers and families (popular among asian cultures for hotpot style meals). These portable stoves are safe to use indoors with adequate ventilation and that you store the fuel canisters responsibly. Hope this helps.
People who don't like tomatoes (or any fruit or veg) cold, take out from the the fridge the night before, they will taste good again. Personally I hate cold whole tomatoes, but when I slice it they okay, but no idea why.
I FIGURED IT OUT!!! ATK is going after the Southern Hemisphere audience/market by posting all of these Summer Recipes in their original market’s Winter! 🤣
@@Lettuce-and-Tomatoes , oh darlin’, no, I wasn’t trying to show off, I had just been wondering why they were posting all of this summer content now when it is winter here … and then my brain realized it was bring all America-centric again (which is a shortcoming because it makes me miss out on so much in the world) and not everything is about us .. so I laughed at my foibles and wrote the post, even including a 🤣 to indicate I was laughing at the part. But how sad for you that you wasted moments of your life attempting to make me feel bad. Truly pathetic.
You mentioned to store carrots in a crispy drawer. What/where is that? English isn't my native language, so that's why I don't understand what you meant in the video.
Also Do not put your onions *ANYWHERE* near your potatoes Onions expell moisture as they age, and moisture + potatos = rotting potatos, which will in turn cause your onions to rot sooner
wrapping a cucumber im plastic though should just be illegal. What's with not giving me plastic bags at the groery store and then wrapping everything in plastic
You did miss it, I had to go back and listen again, once you cut the greens, off, stick them in a ziplock bag, but don't close them, and then stick them in the crisper drawer.
The TV show aired in the right season. These are the episodes that they break down for viewing content. I mean. I still eat tomatoes in the winter time too. Soo....
It's mainly record cold, even blizzard weather in much of the US. I noticed this guy's oil recommendations were equally as surface and impractical. I'll not give him a third shot myself - untrustworthy, despite his affiliation . Some people will just knee-jerk credit anyone putting out talk on a subject. However, no need for that when there are too many sounder, more gifted folks right here on RUclips.
All cucumbers except the English and Kirby's have a thin coating of wax. Kirby's are the short fat cucumbers that are used to make pickles. Next time you go to the store check out the cucumbers and scrape it with your fingernail. You will have wax underneath it.
Are you new around here? They have always done this. The TV show airs during the regular seasons. Eventually they post the full episodes on here. Then they break it down into individual segments.
I always ALWAYS ask if my waiter or waitress is vaccinated. THAT will decide if they get a tip or not. If they ARE VACCINATED... NO TIP. If they are NOT VACCINATED... I give them at least 5% tip!
Thank you Jack, for confirming that everything you had showed us on this video, is exactly what I’ve doing for years!!!
Man, you are just the bees knees. I so enjoy your content Jack. My favourite (among greats!) from ATK.
Thanks for the seasonal tip. I have recently been struggling on how to store my fresh summer produce.
🤣
Good tips, wretched timing. Didn't you get two feet of snow in Boston yesterday?

Now I can only hope I remember when its summer again..

Use the carrot greens in a salad since they have about twice the VitC as the carrot itself.

Hi, what is the best way to ripen a persimmon?
that explains all those tomatoes with the pushed in thumb dents
😆
We always open the top of the corn especially in September to look for worms

LMAO you are every vegetable stand owner's nightmare. Crush the corn , pinch the tomatoes. Oh Sniff the tomatoes ....
Is ATK now located in Australia where it’s summer now? Talk about being out of touch…..
Nope, still in Boston, just that these were originally aired on PBS last year over the summer
Mushrooms are my weak link, any tips?
You mentioned to store carrots in a crispy drawer. What/where is that? English isn't my native language, so that's why I don't understand what you meant in the video.
Also
Do not put your onions *ANYWHERE* near your potatoes

Cucumbers ? Store in fridge ?
SO glad you said about the tomato's in the fridge. Now if I can convince my daughter to not put them in the fruit bowl where they rot before used.
A bit late (or too soon) but thanks
Yo, ATK. Your audio sync is screwed up. The voice comes out before his lips move. Did your audio guy get covid or did he just fudge up?
wrapping a cucumber im plastic though should just be illegal. What's with not giving me plastic bags at the groery store and then wrapping everything in plastic
I’m gonna go with a “no” on banning perfectly normal things. You can take the plastic from my cold dead hands
It’s not summer. Why not post these summer vids during the summer? Same as yesterday’s vid about tomatoes.
Because it aired in the summer on PBS, just being reaired here on YT.
@@johnhpalmer6098 still needs to wait until next summer
On corn: before putting it in a moist bag or paper towel in the fridge, should the silk be removed - or it doesn't matter?
Did I miss it..or didn't he address the best way to store those carrots after we cut off the green part?
You did miss it, I had to go back and listen again, once you cut the greens, off, stick them in a ziplock bag, but don't close them, and then stick them in the crisper drawer.
@@johnhpalmer6098 thank you! 😊👍

Tips for buying summer vegetables in the middle of winter? Strange
Never too late to learn a thing or two! 👍
@@jackiewinters5792 I agree. It just seems like weird timing. Would be better in spring or summer, not now.

too bad i don't live in the Southern hemisphere
I've never heard of waxed cucumbers. Sounds disgusting.
All cucumbers except the English and Kirby's have a thin coating of wax. Kirby's are the short fat cucumbers that are used to make pickles. Next time you go to the store check out the cucumbers and scrape it with your fingernail. You will have wax underneath it.
Stop with the freaking summer videos!!! You can clearly read people are not buying this retread content crap! Or maybe ATK just doesn’t care????
