That ad read was uncharacteristically enthusiastic for Internet Shaquille.
I couldn't tell who he was talking to because he never said "guys."
0 gpm.. smh
It's almost as if the English language has a word for it.
I, you, he/she/it
We, you, they
You. As in you people, you guys.
The guys is for some reason the only way you can differentiate as RUclipsr from you(person I speak to) to you(group of people).
We are getting dummer as a species by the minute it seems.
Yea I don’t think he meant to upload this. It’s clearly not meant for us. 😂
@@livinlicious Dumber* The OP isn't being serious, it's an obvious joke.
@@IsaVarg Drummer was obvious joke/sarcasm. Whoosh!
Seasons don't fear the freezer. Nor do the peas, the corn or the grain.
Immaculate comment.
We'll be able to fry!
Baby I'm your pan
Beast
you can be like shaq is! (come on baby) don't fear the freezer
"I can't eat 4 cheeseburgers a week"
Okay I guess I'M the freak, thanks Net Shaq 😔
came here to say that. i very much can.
Minimum of 2 double patty smashed burgers always, so it's really only 2 meals worth of buns too
Literally ate two cheeseburgers last night. He needs to get good.
no no, he's admitting that he's weak. Don't you let Internet Shaq bring you down, champ. 4 per week is less than 1 per day and that is 1/3 the number of meals you eat!
This dude is satin-soft with that 4 burger cap LOL
It’s not that you “can’t” eat four cheeseburgers in a week, it’s that you “don’t”. Your self-control is unrivaled, Shaq.
Wrong
Get me a couple gummies and I'll eat four cheeseburgers in a single meal.
Cries in European fridge freezer combo unit with 80L of total freezer capacity.
I love when one RUclipsr I watch comments on another’s video. Fun crossover moment.
On the other hand, you live in Europe! I assume grocery shopping and logistics work differently than it does in America
I am crying with you. I live in a small apartment (also in Europe) and didn't have space to put a fridge and freezer so I took a combi. I don't have the freezer space that I need to live my life to the fullest.
Having space for a separate freezer is somewhere on the top priorities when I ever decide to move. I imagine a life of luxury where I can freeze my huge batch of spaghetti sauce and my huge batch of stew, and some vegetables and all the broth and a big batch of soup and all the meats/fish/vegetarian meat replacements and the ice cube trays and the cheese and the coffee and the herbs and spices and the overripe bananas and still have space left to store a few loaves of bread and an occasional ice cream in the summer. It's the dream!!!
@@lauralaura396 You know, that makes me wonder if I could forgo the fridge and just have a giant freezer...
I have to share one of those with four other people 🥲
The way you phrased "I'll crush pine nuts into pesto right away" felt positively braggadocious to my sleep-addled brain. Like, "I'll put a handful of slivered almonds straight into hot oatmeal, I don't give a FUCK!"
EXACT same experience 😭😭😭 he fuckin DECLARED that shit
I will buy up all the best crusty baguettes at the bakery, cut them in half and wrap them in foil and freeze them. You can put a foil-wrapped baguette directly into a 350 oven for 10 minutes, then unwrap the foil and heat for a another 5. Fresh and crunchy baguettes on demand!
Using a straw to vacuum seal a bag is GENIUS holy shit this changes everything
Wait until you find out about water displacement.
Came to the comments to say "the nerve to just casually use a straw to vacuum seal a bag"
I've always enjoyed cooking, therefore I've always enjoyed cooking RUclips, but you're the first channel to really inspire me to just cook. You've demystified the hobby in a way that makes me so excited to learn more because it's way less complicated than many channels may make you think.
One tip that realy helped me with freezing stuff is to freeze stuff before you package it, Like if im freezing chicken breasts i shove it on a tray put it in my freezer and within a few hours its frozen enough i can just pry it off of my metal tray and then i can just put them all in one bag in the freezer and they aren't stuck together.
Another freezer tip is that you can save tupperware from getting stained by meals if you defrost them only a little bit first (like 30 seconds to 1 minuite in the microwave) and then tip the thing into a microwave safe bowl. Sauces only really stain your tupperware if you heat the food in them
One thing I thought he would mention is how you really should dethaw meats slowly from being frozen. I hear so many people complain about frozen meat tasting "mushy" simply because they didn't dethaw slowly.
Cool tip!
I just learned that pan trick yesterday from my grandpa! The frozen blueberries he gave me were way easier to pour into a measuring cup because he froze them on a tray before putting them in a bag.
test kitchen did a series on freezing steaks where they determined that technique you described works a lot better than bagging them first!
@alkaliaurange Oh hey! Someone else who says "dethaw"! My mom always said that, so it's taken years to (mostly) stop myself from saying it.
When it comes to chocolate chip cookie dough, I would suggest going that one step further and pre-portioning the dough into balls. Depending on how you like your cookies (which for me means chewy and gooey) this might mean you can take them out of the freezer and onto to the baking tray to thaw while you pre-heat the often. It also means you don't have to wait for the whole dough to thaw before shaping, or if you just want a small number of cookies.
That's what I do. Depending on the size of your dough balls, you might want to smash it down a bit so the center gets cooked.
Bread crumbs! I leave the end of a bakery sourdough on the counter for a day to let it go stale then put it in the blender to make breadcrumbs. Add that to a box in the freezer then I have premium breadcrumbs whenever I need them
I like the extremely subtle foreshadowing to the sponsor when you discuss freezing coffee. That’s good exposition.
"I can't eat 4 cheeseburgers a week" Not with that attitude you can't.
I'm jealous, whenever I freeze bread it thaws soggy and stale.
@Nersius Technically you're supposed to put it in some paper towel and microwave it gently for a bit or just toast it, flat in a pan or in a toaster. it never really "Thaws" right.
You tell him!!!
1:18 this is why I like this channel so much. there are so many one liners that reflect the current Internet trends.
I still remember the "pay range at conde nast" line
What video is the Condé Nast line from?
@@koda2387kombucha. I think.
edit: yeah it's the kombucha video, 2:24 time stamp
AHH freezing GINGER! Never thought of that, i buy it with aspirations but half always ends up being a shiveled dried out waste, thank you!
Less impervious to freezer burn, eh? ;)

AAAAHHHHH
@@internetshaquille It's over
hey guys im hanging it up lemme know if you wanna buy my channel
@@internetshaquillename a starting price
@@internetshaquille How much you want?
I honestly get excited about the prospect of having my own freezer when I can afford to leave home. I currently can’t carve out my own freezer habits because my parents have so much frozen stuff and ways of working - I feel I need a fresh start to get into it properly. Can’t wait to have a stock bag of scraps! Man I feel like a cooking nerd.
my life has actually changed since getting a fire extinguisher. i haven’t ever had to use it but the thought of me or a loved one being able to stop my house burning down easily gives me a great peace of mind! freezing is definitely next
Some other ideas: carrots can be stored in water for up to two months. Romain lettuce and celery: wrap in aluminum foil completely and they will last weeks with not rot.
Great advice! One other positive to freezing sticks of butter is that it can be better used for making pastries in that state. If you've ever made an all-butter pie crust, grating a frozen stick of butter will give you nearly uniform pieces that are less likely to melt before being baked. I usually throw my stick(s) of butter into the freezer for an hour or so before making the crust, but if they're already frozen -- even better!
One pro-tip for being able to vacuum seal soft items like bread is to freeze them on a baking sheet separated first, then put them into the vacuum bag and seal. It works perfectly.
For the cookies, I like to preshape them (mostly just roll them into individual balls) and I bake them from frozen. Since they're already shaped, I can just put them on a sheet pan and into a preheated oven. It takes 2-3 more minutes than if they were thawed and they come out pretty much the same as if they hadn't been frozen.
Note: I mostly just bake chocolate chip cookies, so this might not be true for every cookie types.
I do this but also because I like to eat the little dough balls as a sweet treat. I call them cookie truffles. My cookie recipe is made with brown butter and a bit of flakey salt on each ball and I make it eggless so I can sneak treats.
@@Bekahchu just a heads up, eggs aren’t the only dangerous thing in raw cookie dough. Flour is also sketchy to eat raw, it has E. Coli. Not a super high risk from it (I still eat a bit of raw flour now and then while testing pie fillings), but just thought you might aughta know.
@@thatonepossum5766fwiw in many places outside the us raw eggs are much safer to eat. In the US eggs are washed which removes their natural protective coating. That’s also why American eggs have to be refrigerated. And as an additional point, American chickens aren’t guaranteed to be vaccinated against salmonella.
That said, you’re 100% right about the flour. However if you take the time to pasteurise it, such as by microwaving it (or even better, toasting it!) you can make safe to eat raw cookie dough!
@@techheck3358 no matter how many times I’m told that, I still feel uncomfortable watching somebody outside the US eat raw egg. 😅
I used to work at Subway and they used to keep all of their cookies as frozen pucks
this is one of your best videos yet, absolute bangers churned out this year
Thank you for jumping straight into the video. No faff, no intro music.
I gotta say, i been home cooking for years. Never went to culinary and dont plan to. But you are the only youtube channel with cooking advice i havent heard a dozen times. I genuinely look forward to your videos cuz i might actually learn something. I know your videos are marketed to newbies, but you should take pride in the sheer amount of information you convey in a learnable way.
Like fuck I never thought of freezing my chipotle peppers. I always just make a double or triple batch.
Freezing nuts and bread has been a game changer for me, avoiding the dispare of a portion of my bought bag going to waste by mold or rancidity for two staples makes me want to cook twice as much!
Come on baby, don't fear the freezer! Top-notch as always, NetShaq.
You have no idea how much I've been wanting a video like this and you're the best in the biz to do it, thank you so much bro
Shaq, your channel is wholly underappreciated and you should be the #1 most subscribed cooking channel, period. Getting straight into the content of a video without intros... God I love you.
For frozen burger buns (I haven't tried other breads yet) preheat oven to 160C/320F and put them in for 4-7 minutes depending on the thickness. They come out soft and warm as if they're fresh baked!
I love how the ad is inserted in all of the videos done by Internet Shaquille. So sincere and honest. I always watch till the very end to pay respect!
The video description alone made me love this
I will never get over and love the fact that you get straight to the point, thank you!
a chest deep freezer is one of the best investments my wife and i ever made, combined with a vacuum sealer, we always have ingredients on hand. we're also blessed to live close to a restaurant supply store so its possible to significantly lower the cost per pound on any meat by investing in large cuts and portioning them ourselves. one large pork loin nets a LOT of chops that we can cut to our preferred thickness and packed in sets of two, coming out to under 2$ a pack :) and trimmings can be used for posole or minced up for our cats. love the system we've built.
STRAIGHT to the favorites. you are such a great resource!!
I've been putting the bread in the fridge for a month or two now because of previous videos of your mentioning putting 'em in the freezer and it's been great honestly, really opened my eyes. Soon I'll be straight up just put 'em in the freezer and this vid may be the last push I needed to actually do it!
Gotta say, I'm digging the vibes lately on this channel. Genuinely helpful and wholesome
As always, thank you so much. Your videos really help me to learn, develop new skills, and just become more thoughtful in the kitchen. Appreciate you and the way you share your knowledge!
What a timely video! I have been struggling with veggies spoiling lately, onions, bell peppers and such. I will give freezing them a try. Thanks 🙏
this & your smoothie video have been such game changers in my household. i drank the hell out of a strawberry mango smoothie yesterday and felt like a king
6:25 - This maybe a "Duh" to some of you other home cooks, but if you want to freeze homemade dumplings or bao: cook it first.
I made the mistake of making the dumplings and freezing it raw beforehand, and it was okay at best. But I cooked them last time and _then_ froze them, and they came out near perfect on reheating.
(May have learned this trick from an earlier netshaq video, but forgot.)
Zero GPM? Gotta get those numbers up buddy
I'd like to add one more trick that I use in my freezer. I bought an ice cube tray that I used specifically for freezing small ingredients. Examples include zesting and juicing limes or lemons, grated Ginger, stock or extra sauce from a can that I didn't use completely in a recipe like adobo sauce. I just freeze them into little ice cube shapes and then pop them in a plastic container. Then when I have a recipe that calls for those ingredients I just pop them in the microwave for 30 seconds. So easy!!
H-he's fast! The relevant information! It's so to the point! Is this the power of NO YT BS?
Sincerely thank you for this. I’ve been making a really deliberate effort to eliminate as much food waste as possible and this has some really great ideas towards that end.
The point about the hamburger bread going stale is so underrated. It's the major reason why I, as a single person, just can't justify buying most types of six pack or eight pack breads. I never thought to freeze them and use them lager though, thanks for the info!
Was waiting for this one after you mentioned it in the past
1. that one strand of hair? clickbait masterclass
2. straw vacuum seal is genius
I love the freezer! Excellent video from what has legit become one of my favorite channels 😊
2:14 hell yeah the straw vacuum sealing trick is so amazing I've been doing this for years, love it
I love the moustache tan line. Excellent video as always!
"I can't eat four cheeseburgers in a week"

like bruh I eat 4 cheeseburgers in a day
99% of the bread products in your grocery store's bakery department are brought to the store frozen. Half of them are just thrown onto the sales floor straight from the freezer. Including those St. Pierre buns you show. You could ask someone in the bakery to give you them straight out of the freezer if you're just going to throw it in your freezer as some as you get home.
I bought a chest freezer during the pandemic. Best money I ever spent!
"I cant eat 4 cheeseburgers in a week"
Not with that attitude! Awesome, informative video. Thanks!
was not expecting a This morning Gino D'Acampo reference i swear the amount of references in these scripts is crazy
i vac seal and freeze practically everything.
Having a frost free deep freezer is amazing as well, helps with preservation too. its been well worth the purchase of the freezer and a vac sealer.
I don't like to boost advertisements or stuff like that but I can say that getting Trade through your link has changed my coffee experience for the better.
I never considered that my bags are the reason for freezer burn.
I recently started freezing meat sealed in vacuum bags and have been seeing fewer incidents of freezer burn on meat.
Freezing bread is a top tip and my baguette obsession two months ago is making a lazy lunch so dang easy. Just airfry a baguette and slap some fillings in it.
For freezing buns, you can preseperate them and just put parchment paper between them
one of the most impassioned netshaq ad reads ive ever heard
love the tips. keepem coming!
Naan, roti, paratha mentioned. Wow so awesome to hear that included in the video.
this is extremely helpful as a college student thank you so much!!!!
Classic rock references always get me. love BOC, and love your culinary wisdom! keep up the good work!
cracking stuff as always ty m8
Hot tip! if you’re freezing pre-sliced bread. Make sure they’re fully separated from each other so that you can grab a slice from the freezer to the toaster or you’ll be carving the Michelangelo out of it.
YEAAAAH this is the video I have been waiting for!! Making things last a lifetime!!! AAAA
Mirepoix is a nice one. Either the whole trinity onion, celery, carrot for convenience or just celery and carrot because you always have onions anyway.
Or skip the celery completely and buy celery seed. It's much more flavorful and lasts in the cabinet for a year at least.
@@itsROMPERS... Tastes different though and doesn't give the same texture and volume
@@Gonorrheagorgonzola I think the flavor is better and honestly I have never used enough celery to really affect the texture and volume.
The thing about celery seed is you have to be careful not to use too much, it's very pungent. Usually I can't taste the celery but with seed I can.
But you do you! 😊
You’re so right, man, damnit. Lots of tips to implement here
So informational! Great content! Subscribed! ❤
one thing I always have in the freezer is uncooked schnitzels! Absolutely love homemade ones but tthe breading process is a huge pain, so instead of making two and frying them I make like 12 once a month and freeze them in stacks separated by parchment paper
schnitzel night? with friends, or just me and the bf? no difference, just pull out the amount I need, heat up the oil and slide them in just like that
I basically just see positives
+ most of the work is done ahead of time
+ always available whenever I'm in the mood
+ cleanup is much, much easier
feels a little silly to admit, but I'm glad you mentioned that frozen nuts can be eaten straight from the freezer. i had heard about storing nuts in the freezer before, but no one else mentioned whether or not they needed to be thawed before use afterwards.
That "these are made with beef tallow instead of butter; yumyumyum" has me saying Internet Shaquille™ yumyumyum on the reg now.
So helpful! Thank you
I freeze my Chipotle-in-adobo in an ice cube tray first, individually with some of the sauce. Then transfer the pepper cubes to freezer bag. Makes quickly grabbing exactly how many you want later very convenient
That is a great idea! I make ginger puree and freeze it the same way, would be great to have chipotles like this too!
I chop it up with a stick blender and stick it in a jar in the fridge. It lasts months.
freezer tips is more my speed. love the vids as always mr. internet
I bake my own heavy rye sourdough bread. I slice the entire bread, ziploc 3-4 slices at a time, freeze and always thaw just one of those ziplocs at a time - no stale or moldy bread!

Another use for parmesan rind, cut into thin pieces (ca. 3mm/0.1inch but you only need to hit a vague ballpatk here), nuke in the microwave for anywhere between 1-2 minutes depending on you power.
They will puff up into some very crunchy cheese crackers. Best to freeze a few rinds before doing this for a satisfying portion, though you may need to extend you microwave time or thaw the rind if you do.
Dude you are the best. I was considering emailing you about the freezer because I am a noob at storing foods properly. Thanks
I sense that this video is about to change my life as much as the washing dishes video once did.
I had just acquired a chest freezer. This video came at a perfect time.
They're SO nice to have. Grab a vacuum sealer too, if you can. It'll help keep things from freezer burning as quickly
Sincerely, can you make a freezer/fridge organization video? I'd love to see the decisions you make
As someone who HATES mincing garlic by hand, frozen minced garlic cubes save so much time and fresh garlic just elevated a dish so well.
Get a garlic press
@@itsROMPERS... i don't have the patience to clean that lol
@@vae884 mine has a built in cleaner on the handle that has an array of plastic "pins" that clear out the holes of the press in one motion.
Press the garlic, press the handle back around over a trash can and all the leftover crap just pops out.
Throw in the dishwasher when done.
No cleaning required.
Gonna get my own kitchen next year in college, you’ve saved my life
Man... Utilizing the freezer has been a game changer for me. I freeze spinach and Swiss chard from my garden, big ol pork butt for quick stir fries, fries for quick air-fried fries, and tomato paste/chipotle peppers for quick tinga. I make homemade breads and English muffins that taste as good as fresh-baked after 30 seconds in the microwave.
Dude, can you make a short on that Pickled Onion topping you threw on the burger? That looked delicious!
Seasons don't fear the freezer, nor does the bread, the nuts, nor the grain 🎶
1:53 ALSO.. Remember to separate them apart between the slices for the same bread otherwise they fuse together making it hard to peel them apart while frozen. No parchment paper needed for hamburger bread.
This came at exactly the right time: I just bought an 8-pack of hamburger buns yesterday, and after using one just now, I'm putting the rest in the freezer!
Would love a window sill herb garden tutorial from you!
I'm already a freezer lover, but I really did buy a fire extinguisher after I saw your video!
"I can't eat 4 cheeseburgers a week"
We are not the same
Love the channel. Roasted coffee beans should never gather humidity in a freezer
Love to buy pre-peeled garlic at the Korean grocery store and stick it in the freezer. I also freeze ginger, but I cut it into thumb size chunks and then freeze.
I’m so proud of myself for doing more than 1/2 these tips already😌
"less impervious"
Whoops! Meant more impervious or less susceptible. Silly goose!
