An Italian Reacts to "Italian" Food Videos | Gordon Ramsay, Lidia Bastianich & Instant Pots, Oh My! 

Within 5 seconds, I got triggered with that one. Completely agree with Eva. Why would you do 20 min w this cooker when it’s literally easier to just cook it the usual way?

I came to comment the same thing 😂 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Except tomatoes are a big no-no for dogs.

for poor dogs. rich dogs don't eat it

Yes! I agree! Was disgusting to watch. Che schifo!🤢

We Italians and Mexicans are united against the Americans butchering our cultures lol. I can feel you ragazzi

@@Hastdupech8509 i agree i’m mexican and taco shells make me gag and a bunch of people using cream in carbonara makes me sick

So do most Americans

It's funny how the rest of the world is so ethnically nationalist. "You're messing up our cultural dish, you foreign moron!" And yet, it's the Americans who get accused of racism. Go figure.

@@MattDoakNM Well given these cultures have been cooking certain recipes for longer than the US has existed it pains people to see traditional recipes butchered and I'm not talking about adding ur own twist to a dish that's fine... but pasta cooked in a pressure cooker? Using a tortilla as the base for a pizza? Really! Are you fucking kidding me

😉

I like what she said just before that; "That is dog food...that is what we make for the dog." I bet if this American woman heard this Italian woman say that, she would become flush red with embarrassment and she would throw that pressure cooker in the trash the same day.

Actually it's worse. 10 minutes to heat up, Four Minutes To Cook, and 10 minutes to cool down, so 24 minutes to destroy pasta. With standard sauce in a jar. If I use jarred sauce I always add things like sauteed shallots or mushrooms, Aleppo pepper, capers, etc. And yeah, it does look like dog food.

100% lol I love my instapot but there are certain things I'd never put in there - pasta is absolutely one of them!

i am a lousy cook, but could do some proper carbonara or aglio e olio and with washing up it would take less than this one-pot-wonder. it did not look bad at the end (no clue of taste), but all that trouble for smth that you can actually make better and faster. pure ad of the cooker machine.

As an American with no Italian blood, I found the instant pot recipe terrifying and disgusting.

That's weird, not creative!

I think this is true of every culture on the planet. All people survive and cope with life with their food.

It's called a snob.

I think everyone does, have you seen some of those steet vendors in India just mess up a burger or an egg sandwich. Using like 2 sticks of butter for one sandwich

They actually remind me of the inquisition, chasing down the heretics through RU-vid and maybe slowing down the progress of cooking.

Sweetened condensed milk is just evaporated milk with sugar in it.

@@antonioscendrategattico2302 Ye lol.

Milk like all stuff have a certain sugar content in it when you cook it down.

@@aviatorsound914 Ye mb I should've specified with added sugar in it

You are right. Sweetened condensed milk is thick as glue and extremely sweet. Evaporated milk is a little bit sweeter and thicker than regular whole cow milk. The guy from the video is using Evaporated milk, not sweetened condensed milk, a huge difference. Anyway, I love pasta grammar channel. Cheers!

Yes i agree with her i never put oil in the water while cooking pasta

One of my culinary arts professors did it... lol

@@MiZtressofSoulzs not mentioning oil stays on the surface, how the hell should it help the pasta underwater NOT STICK?

@@Ilethsamael thats easy hun! that also depends on ones individual tastes see when one adds oil the oil coats the pasta with a fine coating of oil preventing the noodles from sticking together (its the starch from the flour that makes up pasta ) so when the noodles reach the level of tenderness desired simply take the pot off of the stove and rinse under warm water and serve with sauce - hint here ever see the two dishes side by side? the one made with oil wont allow even the sauce to hold it when one is finished your left with a plate of sauce you have to scoop it up with a hunk of bread to fully enjoy the robust taste of it lol id rather enjoy noodles and sauce not eat the noodles then the sauce believe it or not some prefer theirs al dente too its a matter of personal taste my friend

@@MiZtressofSoulzs I am italian and I cooked tons of pasta. The oil stays on the surface of the water and will never stay under attached to boiling water (when you wash dishes 70 degrees C are enough to take off grease). The oil you see on the pasta after you take it off the water is the coating you get on the pasta BECAUSE all of it is on the surface and THEN it sticks to it. As long as you mix gently the pasta once or twice and the water is boiling when the pasta goes in, it will not stick.

Use of Garlic, not abused. Garlic is not used on every food and most of the time- I'd say 90% of the time - if you use garlic you do not use onion too.

Why would adding salt to a dish be a problem. Shes no chef.

​@@videsjlv You need to learn to watch videos properly, my friend! She never claimed to be chef in the first place, so you don't need to take her that away. She made absolutely clear, why it is a problem to salt PASTA after cooking it, instead of adding water to the cooking water. Because it is unevenly distributed. That is why. So you will be left with unseasoned or overseasoned pasta. She never said: adding salt to a DISH is a problem. She is a brilliant cook. She proved that over and over. To say she is no "chef" is purely ignorant. Gordon on the other hand made me cringe as well. Really? Oil in the water? No salt in the water? Adding Salt afterwards? These are bad, beginner mistakes. But I wouldn't be so foolish to claim: "He is no chef".

@@MsMars. Although I do think their popularity will wane, I don't think the instapot is an inherently bad device. For certain dishes/recipes, the cooking process is the exact same I would use with my Le Creuset Dutch oven on the stove except for the 2-3 hours of simmering. That being said, the example in this video is an abomination of cooking. You nailed it exactly comparing it to canned spaghetti - it didn't save any time compared to the conventional method and certainly didn't taste any better.

Thank you! 😎

Yeah be careful he just snapped back at someone from tiktok calling him out recently. I think that person might have been legitimately rude though idk.

The fact that I, a lowly pleb, is better at making pasta than Gordon Ramsey makes me giggle like a little girl on a sugar rush.

true. I don't cook myself but I'm pretty sure that the tomato sauce in the can itself is sweet. Evaporated milk just makes it creamier.

If the milk already evaporated, why is it still there??? :)

Right. Evaporated milk isn’t sweetened. Sweetened condensed milk is an entirely different product.

Even in the Philippines people use cream when making spaghetti and call it carbonara.

Dead on this comment. I'm a Sicilian American and my husband is from the Philippines. First time I had pinoy spaghetti, I was shocked at how sweet it was.

One thing many TV cooks don't know is that knives should be sharp even when you only chop parsley. Then you don't need to hack at it.

I have sort of a similar issue. I usually am somewhat hyper by the time my food is done because I just can't wait to eat it. Is it anxiety? Is it my mouth watering? Probably. Though it isn't as strong as Gordon Ramsay. He's the professional chef, not me. I won't ask him to cook me a traditional meal though.

Even the AntiChrist wouldn't make such a blasphemy.

There are some things the instant pot is good for. For example, if you want the best of the best of the best of chicken stock, you use an old hen, raised free range, slaughtered and cleaned at home. (I know this thought is repugnant to many, but where do you think your chicken and beef comes from? It doesn't grow on a tree, and somebody has to do the slaughtering and cleaning. A hen that roamed several years freely is definitely better off than the three months chicken raised on concentrated food with no place to move that you get in the supermarket.) Only, that old hen's meat is tender like a shoe sole, even after hours of cooking - the stock is great, but the meat doesn't get soft. You have two ways to soften it. The traditional way is to stick 1-2 rusty nails into it - after half an hour of simmering on low heat it becomes edible - be sure to do this after you have cooked it for two hours or more, to create the stock. The alternative, modern, non-traditional way is to cook it for 20 minutes in the instant pot at the highest pressure. It will obviously not taste as good as a young rooster, but if allows you to not waste food - which, with so many people hungering in the world, is IMO a decent thing to do, even when you personally don't ever go hungry. But the soup will be beyond words.

Breaking the spaghetti was already a blasphemy to italian cuisine

The problem is not the Instant Pot itself... it’s how you use it. I am Italian, I love cooking, I have an Instant Pot that helps me a lot, making some dishes faster and easier, but I would never ever make such a disgrace!

Yeah, it looked like canned Franco American or chef boyardi.

I don't even get the point. It wasn't even a faster method of cooking the spaghetti.

@@JoeBlow-24 in this case Gordon Ramsey made a lot of mistakes while cooking the pasta

@@antoniolio4895 According to who? I know a very old Italian woman (she's almost 90) puts the oil in the pasta, she says it's going to get oil on it anyways. There isn't any science against it, the fats from the oil or fats from the sauce or cheese or butter will all stick to the pasta, yes?

@@JoeBlow-24 you don't understand anything, the problem is not the oil on the pasta, if you put the oil on the pasta after it's OK, the mistake is putting the oil in the water where you cook the pasta.

The filipino sphagetti, the video came from Erwan Heusaff

What do you expect? Lydia is Polish. Gordon always does his own thing to make it his.

As an Italian, I believe it should be against the law to cook pasta outside Italy...

@Nancy Miller Lidia is ethnically Italian born in Istria, present day Croatia. No Poland in her history. The garlic overkill is evidently an American influence. Don't know why Americans think we use tons and tons of garlic but I guess she's gotta play into the stereotype a bit to keep the audience interested. Gordon's specialty is French cuisine, personally I consider his grasp of Italian techniques and flavors rather weak as he demonstrated in many recipes where he uses French techniques, pointless ingredient additions and "embellishments" in mishandled Italian dishes. Trust the man with a beef Wellington more than a dish of tomato spaghetti.

The Difference Between Condensed and Evaporated Milk: Both condensed milk and evaporated milk are forms of concentrated milk in which approximately 60 percent of the water content has been removed. The major difference that sets these two canned milk products apart is sugar content; sweetened condensed milk, as the name implies, is always sweetened, while evaporated milk is unsweetened MEANING: They're extremely similar so when he said 'like' he was correct. Stop criticizing. . Cite: www.thekitchn.com/what-s-the-difference-between-condensed-and-evaporated-milk-125900

@@Impossiblegend Thanks for the mansplaining but they are not at all similar.

I was about to make the same comment

@@Impossiblegend they are only extremely similar once you add lots of sugar to the evaporated milk and make it like a syrup. If anything evaporated milk is more similar and often a substitute for cream and doesn't work in all instances. In the video shown it is evaporated milk. It pours much too easily to be condensed milk.

The video on the pressure cooker, for example, is absurd, here there is a saying to define terribly overcooked pasta: "We attack posters with that stuff!" 😁

Adding oil does nothing for sticking. Stirring until the pasta is boiling is what keeps it from sticking together. All the oil does is to help prevent the pasta from absorbing sauce - not a good thing!
