In the restaurant business, many years ago, I learned to do bacon on a sheet pan in the oven. No curling of the bacon and no splatter. You can line the sheet pan with tin foil for ease of clean up. I do it at 350 degrees. Perfect every time !
"You can tell people from starbucks to do do anything and they would do it" While that might be true, you would be known as a jerk customer if you did tell them to "stand on one leg and stir to the left" abusing his power as 'always being right' lol
7:56 Ironic he should say "make sure your hands are washed" when there are quite a few videos where he doesn't wash his hands after handling chicken or meats and cross contaminates everything.
Way back in the day they used a tool called a "Bacon Press". It was made out of Cast Iron and weighed about 2 lbs or more. Those worked wonders. Bacon came out flat and evenly cooked on both sides without having to turn it. As far as your looks? You look like Jack Scalfani to me.
Not defending the guy but I was a professional chef for 16 years. Won awards and had a lot of fun in the industry until I quit to take care of my TBI father and pursue family life with my husband. I enjoyed starbucks for many of those years. Can tell you its a matter of taste not a matter of quality. I used to go to caribou coffee where I live but made the switch after they closed down. I don't drink coffee but I started going to Caribou because they had a delicious hot apple cider. Hot apple blast it was called. When I had to switch over to Starbucks I was mighty disheartened at first because I thought it was just going to be a complete downgrade. However they treat me well, can make a mean custom drink for me. I still make all the food in my family and I don't claim to be the best out there or even great. But I do make good food in general and most around me tend to think I have a good bead on making food for them. Just sayin I wouldn't use that as a justification :).
Hey Jack! I have a question and a tip for making eggs over medium (a style my roommates love BTW). My question: if I fork the bacon and cook it on an electric griddle with it still come out flat or do I have to fry it in a pan? My tip: try using a frosting spatula, the ones with a heat-resistant silicone tip at the end, to flip your eggs over. They slide under easier and I rarely break any part of the eggs when I flip them. Thanks for another great episode!
That's a great looking breakfast. I always fail at over easy eggs. I usually start by breaking the yolk, then cook them too hot or not hot enough and the yolk hardens.
Hey Jack, just seen the episode, been away with work. Great Show can't wait for the Bison (theres a buffalo farm in north Fife so looking forward to some ideas). It's cool to see how "Breakfast of Champions" differs from country to country, as with us its a Full English Breakfast. Really looking forward to more shows in future, can I ask though, have you ever thought of doing an episode on one of those counter top electric grills, like a george forman, as they seem weird to cook on.
I've never heard of rolling bacon or forking it like that. Very interesting. I usually bake my bacon now on a baking sheet at 375, but am curious to fork it and see it work.
I saw a different way of making hash browns once just if you were interested. You start by cooking the whole potatoes (unpeeled) on a tray on rock salt in the oven for 45 minutes at 180C. then you peel them, grate them and give them a quick deep fry. I've only made them like that once and they turned out great. I suggest trying it.
Sweet, i always thought hasbrowns were hard to make, i think ill make hashbrown and a spicy omelettte(chilli's tomatoes and ham) with toast. Ive learnt to make me some good breakfast, thanks Jack =D
@Gigas0101 Thanks for the kind words. I am kind of nervous about the bison. I have been told that you can't cook the bison too much or it will get tough. We are doing bison tacos and bison burgers.
If you don't want bacon to curl up, you gotta trick it. Put it in a cold pan and let it get hot really slow. The bacon is like "mhm yeah its getting a bit warm in here i think" and the bacon is done before it realises that there is heat. The Curling comes from too much heat applied to fast.
@EtherBoo I try not to do seasoning because sometimes when I do, people think that's the only seasoning they can use. I will try to do more of the seasoning that I do and make mention that everyone's taste buds are different and to season with what you like.
Jak, buddy!!! It's been a while since I commented. This epsiode was a GREAT idea! Breakfast doesn't get near the attention it deserves! :D Just so you know, you wasted some BEAUTIFUL bacon grease! While yes, you used it to cook the hashbrowns, you could've made some AWESOME gravy with those drippins! lol (I'll bet you didn't make grits in part 2 either! Y'all need to learn about some southern breakfast!) LOL Hope you and the family are well, friend. ;-)
Hahaha oh my gosh! You do look like al from als toy barn! Oh and i really think you should be on the food network channel, i fricken love that channel and i'd watch your show all day haha.
I thought you kinda looked like that jack scalfani guy from the net. Nice plug for Crown Blue Bison there, SERIOUSLY can't wait for the bison episode! I gotta get some buffalo... Your show always makes me hungry and improves the quality of my meals, keep up the good work and thank you.
Just a couple of things. Why no seasoning? The hasbrowns look good visually, but they have no seasoning on them, even if something basic like salt and pepper (I like Smoked Paprika among other things), same goes for the eggs. Secondly, you can get the eggs to cook much more evenly if you crack them in a bowl first and pour them from the bowl into the pan. This prevents breaking a yolk when it's too late as well (already cooking in the pan). Good call on the bacon, did not know that!
I miss the old kitchen, it's nice that you got a new one and moved for your wife's opportunities and stuff but having you in the OC was better. You look more comfortable in this kitchen for some reason. That said you should have tasted the hash browns since those were the only thing that you really did differently than anything else. I like mine crispy like you like your bacon lol. I've been wondering forever what makes some hash browns better than others so ty for that!
why do i watch your videos right before going to sleep for the night? Guess I'll have to go get another midnight snack........aaaagh !!! Why didn't you use the EZ Cracker to crack the eggs? LOL
@GottofLAN a lot of what I do like flipping eggs and using cherry tomatoes comes from how my mom raised me. Sunny side up is good, too. Most Americans each over easy or scrambled.
there is a place i go to in kansas called stacy's resturant the hash browns that they serve. mom told me about how they make the hash browns is that they boil the potatoes then freeze the potatoes then defrosted them then they shredded them then cooked them of course
lol you do look like AL, but you know what at least your not a lazy man and know how to cook, great episode once again keep it up. I would love to see your recipes for pasta
ur awesome keep up the videos ! oh and i was wondering if you could maybe do lobster bisque. My dad loves it and ur the best so it'd be really cool if u could help me out. God bless u, thanks for the videos!!
@jakatak69 I've loved your shows and learned a lot from you. A friend who is a master cook gave me a tip the first time I bought some ground buffalo for a Memorial Day treat for my big guys. Try mixing 2 pounds of buffalo with one pound of 70% lean ground beef, then make your patties. I got about a dozen nice burgers out of it. I cooked them slowly to about medium in a heavy non-stick pan and they were moist and flavorful. They held together well and really didn't need anything added.
@AsiansGotSkillz yes. The houses in my neighborhood were build in 1960's and they used to do that so the wife could cook and wash laundry. Now it's just good for extra counter space. LOL
