4 Levels of Egg Rolls: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

  • Опубликовано: 30 май 2024
  • We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur John, home cook Lorenzo, and professional chef Chris Cheung from East Wind Snack Shop-to make us a batch of egg rolls. Once each level of chef had served up and sampled their creations, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each chef made along the way - both good and bad. Which egg rolls would rival your favorite Chinese restaurant’s version?
    John is on instagram at @johndlopresto
    Keep up with Lorenzo at @rollinabenzo
    Keep up with Chef Chris at @chefchrischeung, his website Chefchrischeung.com and his restaurant, Eastwindsnackshop.com @Eastwindsnackshop

      Same thing for Gabby going to culinary school. That's no longer level 2. Not level 3 yet, tho.
      I'd be happy to see a level 2.5 bump for them... just because they are working towards improving their game and still very worth to watch in combo with other great entertainers.

    If you fry food in oil correctly you will only soak up one tablespoon of oil when deep frying 5 pounds of potatoes. just keep the temp at 360 or above. that is a very hard thing to do though with the oil temp dropping when you put cold food into it.
