Chef Saul might be a pro chef, but still faces dad chef challenges 😂😂

@lewizm697 Год назад

Chef who?

@Ben-Carr Год назад

He must cook the onions a long time or use very little onion if the kids dont like too much onion. Onion quickly overpowers everything else in the dish.

@jaspercandoit Год назад

I love painfully spicy foods but my children complain if I put fresh ginger or onions in their meals. I'm slowly trying to acclimatise them.. then we'll move on to chilli. It's nice to know even pro chefs have these battles.

Nice to see the three chefs interact and eat each other's food. I always wondered why they didn't in the previous episodes. I thought, if I tasted the food I cooked, I'll definitely say I'd outdone myself...lol

@LucyTheLightbringer Год назад

The previous episodes were filmed during quarantine

@acanthafiore Год назад

And before the quarantine they were still separated, and that was because all the chefs were filmed at different schedules. So that might still be a thing if certain chefs are busier or if they're doing some ridiculous prep that makes the dish take much longer to finish.

@froosh93 Год назад

Would you consider an episode with 3 Pro chefs, Saul, Frank, and Esta? Maybe with this format or the recipe swapping format. It'd be interesting to see how they do things differently.

@zacharyduryea4248 Год назад

Love this so much! My dad was a professional chef, very rarely saw him use a recipe or measure things. To me, this is how cooking really is When I got my first job in a kitchen, the head chef would ask me to make things without recipe all the time. There was no measuring equipment in the kitchen so I learned how to “eye ball” everything.

@silvernickel108 Год назад

@meredithlawhorn7044 Год назад

Wow I didn’t know about the pro tip -don’t add your cheese until after folding your pasta into the white sauce. Gonna use this!

@breaker6683 Год назад

I've never heard of that either, hopefully I remember it for next time, I just made mac and cheese yesterday.

@jc3drums916 Год назад

Not sure how beneficial that is. I feel like the consistency would be better if you make a mornay sauce before adding the pasta.

@ThrwG49 11 месяцев назад

When I make mac/shells and cheese, I never use a recipe to begin with. I just boil pasta, and while the pasta is cooking, I make the roux. Once the pasta is close to being ready (al dente), I start adding the cheese to the roux and then combine the finished pasta and sauce, along with a little bit of the [leftover] pasta water. If anything goes wrong at the this point, I will add more cheese, milk, or butter until I get to where I want it. Then, finally, I serve the finished product.
