Bought a Heston cookbook a few years ago and have been using it every day. So far I am on the 2nd recipe
🤭🤭🤭
I’m still on the first ingredient 😂😂
I'm still building the kitchen......
@@graemeking6771 I'm still opening the book
Lol
12 years later and I'm still using this same amazing recipe. I just need to finish the final steps of the dish and it'll be ready
12 years later and I’m still seeing the same recycled joke over and over on every Heston video
Just go to the chippy. Saves on the bullshit
Lies again? Football Club Pregnant Fat
Hahahaha
🤣🤣😂
“Mum, is dinner almost ready?”
“Not long now, I just have to put the chips in the fridge again”
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 DEAD
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol
😆😆😆👍
I love this guys recipes. A guaranteed diet. One meal a week.
Lol
You must be the world's fastest cook to get it down to a week
Lmao
Son: Dad can you make me some cornflakes for breakfast
Heston: That's at least a 12 step process son, it will be ready next week
Holy shit ! hahaha
LOOOOOL
lol lol lol
First we will need a vacuum chamber to make the flakes more Krispy..
Hahahaha
*Mom wakes up at 9AM and sees you cooking*
Mom: What's for breakfast?
You: I'm cooking dinner
Jeremy Er funny
Mom: For tonight.You: No, New Year Eve 2020
@@mortenu.5606 -- how was it?😂
Ahaha!

is nobody gonna talk about how he poured half a bottle of vodka and a beer into his batter? Absolute sesh lord
jajajaja yeah man the vodka gives all the batter an unique "explosion" when the fish go to the oil :)
maybe thats why the batter didnt stick to the fish properly?
He didn't put vodka
@@maniswolftoman
No , i should have not. The one who (maybe) should have, is the guy with the first comment.
That's drinkin bud
Me: "Can you squirt some ketchup on?"
Heston: _Turns on rotary evaporator._
U would have to grow the tomatoes first ... Or get tomato seeds either way ...
@@Eray-fy5bz Not that easy; you'd have to put the right mixture of fertilizer _on_ the seeds, and then use a powerful UV light to grow them.
@Harry Barry Screw it, give me a filet of fish.
@@jeremyw.5729and find a way to bring Beethoven back to life so he can compose his most famous pieces of music to it while it grows personally. That gives the tomatoes a more rich deeper flavour apparently.
"We're going to make the perfect fried egg
All you need is an egg
A pan
And this nuclear reactor"
literally made me laugh after watching this video, thx mate
You lost me at egg
hahahaahahahaahahahahah
Aww I've only got 1 out of 3. Now where can I find an egg and a pan?
Wat a crackup haaa
@Ridiculed Victor that was meant to be the joke. You're supposed to lose it there
Im 95....i may not be here when this recipe is finally done.
Are you actually?
That's amazing if that's true.
Louis l RIP

And i bet you started to watch this in 2010
Lol
Dad can we have drive thru for tea?
Heston: "Ok, so we need to start by building this internal combustion engine..."
This recipe will be handed down through generations.
Hopefully, my Grandchildren's children will not only inherit the recipe, but also be the first ones to finish making the meal.
the sagrada familia of recipes
Coming back from 2010, it's 2019 and he's still preparing the fish
It 2037 and he still hasn't *PREPARED THE GODDAMN FISH*
It's 2046 and he still hasn't *PREPARED THE GODDAMN FISH*
@ Matt you have just killed me 😁😂😂😂
@Matt well you want it to taste good right
I think he’s just finishing up now
lmao I just love how Heston's recipes are such a pain in the ass.
Aaahahaaaaii... so true
Exactly, the lengths he'll go to make something 0.5% more crunchy/crispy/whatever is hilarious. It just isn't worth it, blanche the potatoes for a bit then double fry, how much of a difference will the fridge step or boiling them to near soup level make?
@MrCactus Oh don't give me that "he's a successful chef so your opinion is invalid" bullshit. I've eaten at decorated restaurants in the past and while they were good I am more than happy paying $1.50 for a hot dog combo at my local Costco. Simple dishes and recipes will more than adequately do the job over this nonsense.
MrCactus decorated chef means jackshit lmao
Johnny Sack all twats that’s why he’s a millionaire and your eating processed dinner 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Heston can I have a glass of warm milk please?"
"Well that's a 5 stage process."
Chef, I have a complaint. It appears there's a fish in my batter.
Haha this is exactly what I thought when I saw the final product. There is crispy batter, then there is just a frikin tectonic plate of batter.
@@MrAmbrosse Meh, it is just a bubble. The batter separated from the top part and inflated.
I was thinking the same. It actually looks too crispy and big compared to the fish. The chips look good though
Its a light batter. There isn't much substance to it, its not like the cheap shit.
"and for this comment format, all you'll need is:
-A list of science equipment and
-A sarcastic Overtone"
great recipe, i'll book a week off work to make some chips! lol
i feel you bro...i`ll take off from work too
😂😂😂
hahahahahaha
I know huh?
What are you talking about, it takes only 7 minutes 43 seconds.
Just started making this dish for my 14 year old son. He loves fish and chips. The meal should be done in time for his high school graduation, we're all so excited to try it!
There goes a man who never does the washing up.
I went to his house for dinner once on a Sunday, the starter arrived late Wednesday night, and the main the following week......still waiting for the puds a month later. You have to admire his enthusiasm and attention to detail. I wonder how he boils an egg?
@@thumperman8490 😂😂😂😂
@@thumperman8490 His method of boiling an egg is actually quite nice and fail-proof. It needs exactly the time to boil the water + 6 minutes.
I would be starved to death by the time he made me a fish and chips.
good and tasty food can also be fast and easy to.
I dont think his food is good and tasty, but gorgeous and out of this world. Seen the difference? And that takes time.
Lol
+anthonykennethbishop The actual "one the spot" final cooking time is probably less than 10 mins - they do a lot of preparation the day before.
+anthonykennethbishop McDonalds takes care of people like you. Go and be with your kin. Hurry now.
Heston's recipe for fish 'n chips:
1. A large trawler with accompanying nets
2. A PHD in chemistry
3. Machine shop and equipment to build the fryer
4. Master electrician certificate to wire the fryer
5. Master carpentry and plumbing certs to build the kitchen
6. Compressor to make your own compressed gas
7. Large farm to grow your own wheat, rice and potatoes
8. A mill to turn the wheat and rice into flour
9. Bees
Now, let's start.
BEST COMMENT! I am ROFLMFAO...
Gordon with his hot pan and olive oil: The fuck he doin ove der.
You left out all the equipment, barley, hops, etc., for the beer.
Beads?
This project has got a practical bent to it, so a PhD in engineering might be needed as well, just in case.
No Knor stock pots? What a mad lad!
It was his choice not to use knorr stock pot, he made himself fail. - MPW
There is no real recipe
@@stopdropandroll Tiny bit of olive oil
It's his choice really...
No stock pot. He sold his soul to time instead.
I've tried made the chips using Heston's video and it's the crispiest chips I've every made. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Other videos like Grodon Ramsey doesn't show you the details of preparing the chips and so I've failed so many times at making chips.Thank goodness for Heston.
Word
How old were you when you started and how old when you finished?
I pity you
I fast forwarded the video a lil bit...u know why...but then i saw him dipping fish in shaving foam so i started the video from start
You got me
@@kingsed91 hahahahah
Hahah this is gold
Hilarious, I nearly spat out my water
Amount of people who have actually done this at home.........0.
Everything was perfectly fine until he took out whatever flask that was. Someone please fill me in on that. I'm pretty uneducated in the field of scientific cooking.
Co2 canister. It is used to make fizzy drinks at home but he has applied it elsewhere (the batter).
I have.
Because us simpletons see food as energy and have more important things to do, like make friends.
Beacuse simpletons are not interested into deep frying 70 to 80 Euros
Imagine trying this and it tasting worse than your local Long John’s.
Imagine paying for this dish 😂
It’s not the techniques used make them really really crispy
I use the batter in a whip cream syphon for onion rings and it’s unbelievable
@joe If you're putting down Long John's, i am going to deep fry your face.
Abel Axen thank you
@@joewilliams3025 Then dip it in tartar sauce.
Ordered these fish n chips for my 18th bday..im 31 now and getting really excited to eat!
Would you like some fish with your batter
no
Ben Ridgeway You mean batter with a touch of fish
Na, i'd prefer a sausage.
Tom Jones that's what she said
You haven't tried this, so you really don't know what you are talking about. Right?
*finishes eating breakfast*
"Better start making lunch now so that my chips are extra crispy."
This man is diabolically out of his mind.
All geniuses are crazy
Greatest chef ever
Imagine how long it takes him to make cereal
It's a 12 step process.. be patient. Those rice krispies will defo be worth it
Just seeing this I aged 8 years 3 months.
I constantly watch this for some reason...
😂 same.
😂😂
Its google.
same. i hate it. but i keep watching this
@@siowkewei i watch this cause there is no way in hell im gonna do this
Waking up early in the New Year morning, seeing my wife cooking in the kitchen while watching Heston's video.
"Honey, why cooking lunch so early? Today's Holiday."
"Not lunch. I'm working on food for Christmas."
Love the sheer nerdiness. I understand if you find them too complex and time consuming, but pay attention to his explanations of the purpose of each step. There's room for cutting corners, not while getting the same results, but certainly making better meals than you're likely to ever have before.
Its always satisfying watching heston at work. He's so organized and clean.
Well, while it's true it's kind of a hassle to go through all this process for the chips, I did tried it once and I have to admit, they were AMAZING. Best chips I had ever, period.
Finally after 11 years of prep i finally had this tonight. unfortunately i had to have it as a late night snack as wasnt ready at dinner time.
This is the definition of perfectionism.
That's so beautiful I wanna cry.
50 minutes in and we haven't even fried a chip yet lmao
You obviously dont seem to understand that just about EVERY respectable restaurant that makes chips/fries soaks their potatoes first, and then double fries them. Unless you like soggy chips, you make them this way. Good things dont come in 5 minutes, thats why you have chip shops to go to for quick fish and chips, they take on all of the prep that it takes to make them proper.
I was brought up on soggy chips you insensitive clod.
Well the title of the video does say ‘perfect’ you numpty. Not gonna be your 5 min fish & chips from down your local spoons is it
The replies to this are so dense 🤣 sticks up their asses
@@Lightworkps You guys have the best insults
I have cooked all of Heston Blumenthal recipes. After four centuries I can rest.
Heston: pulls screaming hot fries and fish out of fryer with bare fingers.
Finger heat level: Marco
Legend has it that this video was made in between waiting times of the roasted chicken
Step 147, now fry the fish......
Heston were ahead of his time👍
This feels like an anime with lots of fillers and the actual plot is lost.
Heston Blumenthal....how to turn a national favourite into a poem! Chapeau!
I made this, and got a DUI after eating the fish.
300ml not 3.000ml
I got a DUI after watching this video.
Except the alcohol evaporates during cooking.
Sorry, someone has to be a party pooper :-P .
Iime1234 lol
whats DUI
The sound edit for the crisp is fantastic
Fair play to him that batter looks immense
A fish covered in batter went into the fryer and out came a meteor!
The fucking fish is breaking space!!
I guess it's worth the wait. I love the way he explains the things he does in the kitchen, not just because it's done. Great videos.
Legend has it ya still waiting.
The dedication and the attention to detail is amazing.
I started cooking this 10 years ago just now completed ✅
To quote one of my all time favourite movies - I love how he sciences the sh** out of food.
Love his voice. Like if flea bottom in king's landing had a fine dining restaurant.
He CAN'T be serious, who has the time, patience or equipment to even attempt this? MAD!
The comments had me expel my dinner like his gas canister. Balled my eyes out😂. The fries are still faster than the millions of „easy sourdough bread“ videos covering days of proofing and punching dough with a sweaty smile. Cooking the potatoes to a near crumble first is a genius idea. Will definitely try.
They are a lot of effort, but they will be the best chips/fries you’ll ever eat. Cooking them three times ensures that the outside is super crispy and the inside is nice and fluffy.
Amazing
Hi from Canada!
this feels like a science experiment than a cooking tutorial
Cooking is just a chemistry experiment involving thing we like to eat.
If you’ve ever watched Hestons cooking programmes, you’ll see that he mixes science with his cooking. He isn’t your typical chef & does things differently
aLT probably because the dude looks like a scientist more than a chef
Cooking is literally governed by science.
aLT Well, he does cook based on science, so...
Read his cookbook for The Fat Duck restaurant, it’s got essays by various chemists and physicists about cooking, flavor, cuisine, etc
Always good to see a left handed chef on TV!
I remember watching this years ago. Im finally halfway through the recipe. Excited!
I would wait all day for that fish n chips! It looked so delicious.
You'd still be waiting now if you ordered it at the time you commented lol
@@paulmarden3301 😂😂😂
I like how he uses fish to season the inside of the batter
I come back to this video every so often to read the comments. Gold.
Truly the best recipe for both the fish and the chips
It's way too long and difficult, but the result is simply excellent.
I just made these fries - first thing I've made in my new deep fryer. So. Good.
I love how Harry Hill started his own cooking show.
If you have time to try his perfect chips, here’s the order of operation: prepare fish and potatoes. Boil the cut potatoes, in the mean time mix the batter mix and arm the canister and put it in the fridge. Get the chips out into the rack and put it in the fridge as well. Wait for half an hour. During that wait, get your fryer or the pan of oil with thermometer on. Fry the chips first, they’ll take longer. While the chips are frying, get the batter out and coat the fish, proceed to fry the fish while the chips rest for their second fry. If you only have one pan of oil, no fryer, fry the chips first and in between the resting of the chips, fry the fish in that oil.
The fish Will Come back to life and walk away using its bones.
This man may be overcomplicating things. And sometimes you get confusion. But Heston really knows his stuff and he also uses some knowledge of science to enhance his food. I mean he's a 3 star chef.
Heston = king!
3 star chef with an award for #1 British Restaurant in 2005!
Him, Gordo and Marco are the big 3 of British cuisine. Marco loves his turbot. I love Heston's enthusiasm for the history of it all.
Marco being the sexy one of em'..
What do you expect? He's a clever Jewish guy.
+schmatever thats why he didn't add any salt or pepper in this recipe.
You can use a bit of baking soda in the chip water to blanch them, and it does wonders for the crisp.
Absolute best comments for a cooking video EVER. I’m so laughing.
"Want to open the beer last minute to keep as much gas as possible"
*proceeds to aggressively dump the beer out as fast as possible and remove all gas*
XDDD
That's what the carbonator is for :P
No wonder they shut the Space Shuttle programme down. Heston decided his Fish & Chip recipe needed the funding more.
“Fancy landing on Mars?”
“Nah mate. Fish & Chips”
😂 classic
"And remember, don't cut them too thick."
Who knew you needed a phd in physics and rocket science to make fish and chips.
did them once, the best fries ever! Worth the efford!
Yes it's time consuming - ludicrously so, and no it's not one for you and the kids on a school night, but the title says "Perfect..." not "Super-fast..."
Mr Rob hello mr rob 😘
ariean rachmat I regularly cook triple cooked chips to Hestons recipe, I can confirm it's the best way I've found to cook them.
damm straight; waay too much instant/canned food these days.
It's not that time consuming if the batter and the chips are prepared beforehand
+array s Heston put his chips in a fridge not a freezer.
He's amazing
I did the chips today! O.MG just delicious. Thank you for your offer of information.
I soak the chips for maybe 5 minutes or couple of hours on multiple occasions same great results either way. Boiled them 5 minutes or 10 minutes. Fried them once for 7 minutes took them out patted them dry and let em rest 2 minutes. Fried them again and after 7 minutes they were brown, hard on the outside crispy and soft inside was so perfect, salted them soon as I took them out. Delicious. I used the potatoes not ideal for chips and this process worked on those potatoes.
I stick frozen oven chips in the oven and cook them for about 20 minutes or so.
It takes 6 months, half a million pounds and team of six atomic reactor specialists to recreates his recepie.
Lmao
Looking forward to my chips next year!
Heston is a genius.
"That is perfect!" -after seeing 3 inches worth of empty space
hahahaha I thought the same too! wtf right? I wonder, have I been getting the wrong fish and chips all these while?
Me too XD
Right!
He dredged the fish in flour to help the batter stick, but then the $ shot shows a loose crust around the fish
@@89purpz I think all that carbonation was just too muh, that while cooking the batter just separated from the fish.
The simple fact that you are using a high alcohol content liquid (vodka + beer) AND you use rice flour is already above and beyond. The use of the siphon was overkill.
And you really don't need those 3 batches of refrigeration for the chips. Boiling them properly, dry out for a bit, and fry it twice is enough for you to say you did your due diligence for this dish.
Heston is just doing that extra 1% more, but it's not practical at all.
That’s the worst recipe ever. With anything fried like chicken or fish, the fries part should be sticking to the piece of protein. ‘Perfect’ my ass
Dad: Son, what do you want to be when you grow up
Son: Alive when this is finally cooked
terrific. as son is lowering Dad into grave, "I'll keep working on the fish, dad".
@@spinningbackspin underrated comment hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣😂🤣🤣🤣
What a wonderful recipe 👍🏽👌🏽
Legend has it Heston has devised an even more perfect chip crispyness by frying 17 times when you have a full moon 🌝
😂
🤣🤣🤣
This guy cooks faster than gordon ramsay does.. He literally nailed this 10minute challenge
The eulogy “Heston loved making chips, in fact he started making those chips as a boy, he was still making them when he left us”
Literally brilliant
I can’t wait to cook this for my sons Uni graduation! He was only born this morning.
I used to work at one of the famous fish & chips in Scotland & his Fish batter secret is 100 gram rice flour & 100 gram plain flour mixture with 70 ml Cold Vodka & 110 ml Cold Dark Ale/Beer in to Fish batter mixture with 1 spoon honey & little salt and add Yeast half a tea spoon... keep it in to fridge for 30 mins. Take out from fridge. take cod/haddock dry it & dip in to dry plain flour then dip in to fish batter mix & fry it on 360 degree F. . Enjoy & give it a try at home & enjoy with your family & friends & please don't forget to give me bless...Please...Remember me in your prayer...Thank You & love you all..
It’s ok, but it’s not quite Mark Goldbridge’s Fish and Chips.
😂😂😂
anyone oddly satisfied with this video and come back to it every now and then?
first thing i've watched from the bbc for ten years!
