tip from someone who has worked in a kitchen as a chef, use a different chopping board for raw meat, cooked meat and veg, and a different knife, otherwise you can contaminate the food and make yourselfs ill. but all in alll a good video
Zero Period Productions If you only have one board, wash it between raw meat, cooked meat, and veg. Also, seafood. Cross contamination and salmonella are no joke.
Ryan Holton They are not cooking for multiple people, and as long as the temp of the food reaches at least 145 degrees they are fine... Also you mentioned being a chef... Can you pass down some techniques to a culinary student like myself... Edit: its duck so... 165 fahrenheit?
@@gabrielkendrick3217 i do not work in fahrenheit, i work in celsius in which the temp of any poulty including duck should be at least 73.9 Celsius, which should be around 165 fahrenheit. as for techniques that would depend entirely on what you are cooking at the time. as in is the duck for a roast, or another dish? i work in a carvery restaurant as a chef, so majority of our meets are roasted
Notes on cooking for George and Al: 5:03 Al, always make sure that the measuring jug is level, to ensure you get the proper measurement, 7:06 George, Mr. Handy's can do wonders in the kitchen, 8:15 It's often easier to cut the onion in half first before topping and tailing it, also take the outer skin off first, 10:00 For safety sake you shouldn't use the same cutting board/chopping block for veg and raw meat (lots of hygiene and health issues there), Additionally, thanks to Al for doing the first of these videos, because I wouldn't have found George's channel otherwise.
My preferred method of chopping onions is to chop the tail off first, cut it in half, then while keeping the head on, dice perpendicular to it. Then dice up towards the head. Someone showed me that trick and it has changed my life.
If you cut the top and tail off an onion, then do a small slice through it's skin all the way down, you can peel off all the skin in one piece as another method.
What possible hygiene issues could arise from using a cutting board for vegetables and meat? You can cook them together, and eat them together, but you get sick if you cut them together? This is simply germophobia, if you get sick from using the same cutting board for meat and vegetables, there was something in the meat or the vegetables that your immune system wouldn't have held up to anyway. Trimming a steak and using the same knife to chop an onion doesn't magically create salmonella or spawn parasites
@@janacebickerstaff8603 I've always shared your point of view and definitely am guilty of sharing utensils between meats and veggies that are going to the same place. However, any professional environment would frown on this and many a dish on "Chopped" has been disqualified for that mistake. My friend put it well, you should get into the habit of using a different space and utensils for meats just in case you forget one day and accidentally chop a carrot with the same knife that you do not intend to cook enough. Doesn't mean I'm going to start doing that but you *should*.
Oh sweet baby Jesus, Al cutting that onion was terrifying. It almost became finger on a stick. Protip, leave the onion or whatever sitting flat on the board while you cut instead of lifting and holding it. Much harder to cut yourself that way. Ya need your gaming fingers.
It bothers me, in my experience I would've added more salt, seeing how human meat is similar to pork, it's quite fatty. The raider boys loves it when they're high as fuck off their minds.
You guys should consider watching a video on knife skills and safety. As someone who has been a line cook for several years, watching Al try to cut that onion was a stressful experience lol. Love these videos though, I've tried all of the recipes you've made so far, except the nuka cola because i don't want to drink tariyaki sauce. keep up the good work :)
Tip: When peeling garlic, you can crush the bulb and then place it in a container. After it's in the container, shake the absolute hell out of it. Supposed to make the skin come off fast and easy. I've heard a lot that it's supposed to work, but never actually tried it myself. Worth a shot though.
It's actually harder this way, also all the shaking breaks the garlic cloves and that makes a juicy mess in the container, personally I just run it under water and peel with my fingers.
@@Kazamezo1 dont crush it first. If you leave the cloves whole the skin just rubs off from the shaking and leaves you with clean naked cloves without the sticky mess. ... Phrasing. And yet I cant think of any other way to actually describe it. 0_0 garlic..
Yeah I was watching this AlChestBreach video where he and some other dude made iguana on a stick, but there wasn't actual iguana and Harvey didn't get the cups, friggin' unsubscribed and 0/10 this whole game.
I hope you know in the fallout the Iguna on a Stick actually HUMAN FLESH that was then shaped and cooked to look like a iguna also iguna bits are also human flesh
People actually do eat iguana, particularly in the Caribbean, where it is known as "chicken of the trees". Apparently green iguana is preferred and is pretty good if cooked right. Proper preparation involves parboiling it in saltwater before roasting or stewing it. You might be able to find it in NYC at a specialty shops.
Ah, iguana.... those things get to like 6 feet long man, back when I used to visit family in Puerto Rico I always went out to catch a few. Word of advice, alway wear long thick sleeves to avoid scratches. Hit me up if you or AL need some iguana in the future
If they want real iguana on a stick they would have to eat each other, or some random hobo. Well they could've used pork as a substitute because humans are said to taste like pork.
To avoid onion tears, light a candle before you begin. Place near work area. Also, chew bubblegum while chopping the onion. If all else fails, put your face under the facet with the water as cold as it will go. Try to flush out your eyes without using your hands.
Al looks so lost around the 3:45 mark onward. He's just lookin into cameras like he doesn't know where he's at. Also holy shit, George must have been starving. Just fucking goes crazy for it and takes like 3 crazy bites immediately.
Yeah both duck and goose are very greasy birds to eat, so it's no surprise that the duck had a bunch of fat on it... I appreciate you guys showing us this and being test hamsters in a sense, I'd love to try some of this stuff myself but don't know where to buy the book... is there a link you can add to the next video George, please..?
Man, I wish you two could cook on an actual grill. Kebab parties are great. You got some sticks, 2 or 3 kinds of meat in bowls, other bowls with like onions, peppers, mushrooms, grape tomatoes, whatever veggies tickle your fancy. Then folks just grab a couple sticks and put on whatever they like the way they want it and let whoever is running the grill (the "grill master") cook it up for them. Also, George, please get Al a good NON-GLASS cutting board! Hell, gimme an address and I'll send you one! The sound of the blade hitting the glass makes me weep for those knives.
10:48 You didn't unplug the food processor before taking out the blade, did you? That's a good way to lose your fingers if you accidentally bump the buttons. I NEED you to keep all of your fingers so you can keep on entertaining me! And... uh, your physical well being and all that, I guess.
You guys do know that iguanas can get massive right? They grow with their inclosure just like a goldfish...They can get so big they would be to heavy to pick up for some people.
I'm sure someone else has pointed this out, but in fallout there are no Iguana's, and you have been eating something's meat. [Spoilers] In fallout 1, Iguana on a Stick is human meat[/Spoilers]
Im sure others have mentioned this but that would be 'Iguana Bits' rather than 'Iguana on a Stick' which is a whole iguana spitted and roasted, and you would have been better off with Pork rather than Duck since Iguana Bits are actually Human meat o.o
Watching you cut that onion nearly gave me an aneurysm. Gods that was stressful. As was knowing you used the same cutting board for raw meat and veggies. But it was hilarious at the same time so hey! I’d give advice but I’m late and I’m sure you’ve already received plenty.
By the way you can find iguana meat in the Us it's a legal Puerto Rican export. Plus you'll be helping the puerto Rican ecosystem since Iguana is an invasive species in puerto rican and in the us, so it wouldn't be that frowned upon.
You guys are great and I don't mean this as a criticism but have you thought about doing a cookery course? On the bright side I'm less worried you are both going to die of food poisoning or put another way you are becoming better cooks. Kudos gentleman
When I was a child living in bogota my uncle and his friends would go hunting and catch iguana’s or some reptile and when they would cut off the tail I would play with them because the tails would still be moving
Seeing them struggle with basic kitchen skills even a toddler can learn after watching the food network for five seconds is cringe inducing. The way he cut the onion oh my fucking god-
As a butcher, seeing you guys cut on glass cutting boards makes my soul stab itself with the soul of your dull knife. I would reccomend wood block, but small scale wooden cutting boards, it's not ideal. Plastic cutting boards dedicated to meat is the next best thing. Glass cutting boards are horrible for knives cause it causes your knives to dull down and have risk of losing control of your knife.
Just a little tip for you guy's . When your done cutting the garlic the easy way to get the smell off your hand is fire rubbing your fingers against anything that stainless steel underneath the cold water supposedly supposed to get the smell off
One thing that being British makes me wonder about: what even are hot pockets? Seriously, someone please enlighten me Also we all learned that Al doesn't know how to cut onions
Stuffman1861 It’s a doughy shell filled to the brim with stuff and heated in a microwave. For example, there’s a pizza filled one. Basically an inside out pizza. You ever heard of pizza rolls? Basically that, but larger.
It's a game the US marines play with eachother. Rules are that you jump on the back of a fellow marine, tickle him while someone drops a hot frag in their pocket, then the one with the "hot pocket" has to pass it along to another person, preferably to the rookies. Seeing friends get blown up is bad for moral.
Isn’t there a rumor or something shown in the first game where it tells you that iguana on a stick is actually human meat like there aren’t even iguanas in the capital wasteland or the commonwealth
