9:12, 9:18 This is an example of superheating. The water is hotter than its boiling point, but can't, as the glass pot is too smooth (there is nothing for bubbles to grow off of). I think the addition of the pasta introduces many nucleation points (something that bubbles can grow off of) in the form of the grains of flour on the pasta's surface, resulting in the water violently boiling over. I think the same thing happened in the video you made tonkatsu ramen.
the water cant boil the way it should be because it has no surface area to react with. Once you introduce a surface area it can climb and move with it boils over because bubbles start forming. Supercooling is more or less the same thing with water being below 0 degrees and not freezing, this usually happens when the water is low on minerals that could help form ice crystals. The water will freeze instantly if you shake it up because the molecules are allowed to react with each other at that point. Its really cool to see @@CyrexCoolLol
I'm pretty sure having the butter in the pan helped. That's why so many chefs use butter or olive oil for their cacio e pepe. His sauce definitely should've split though ngl because he was straight up FRYING that cheese.
@@duncanblue6698 It didn't split because there's so much starch from the pasta water. The pot he used was pretty small and fresh pasta releases a lot of starch.
Yeah, seeming someone do it by hand in a few minutes actually puts into perspective how simplistic the process really is, rather than needing a few minutes with a machine
Pasta takes a bit to get it just right and you might feel it's impossible to work with, so don't get discouraged if your first try doesn't work out perfectly. After you've done it a couple of times, it'll become something you can do without even weighing the ingredients
Your glass pot does that because it doesn't have enough nucleation sites for dissolved gasses and water to bubble out, and it increases past boiling, and when you add stuff that has nucleation sites, it instantly comes out of solution releasing a lot of energy in an instant. you can avoid this by putting a shard of pottery or a stone or a metal utensil or really anything in the pot, allowing for the release of energy in a controlled manner.
I was searching handmade pasta yesterday since im quite into it theses days and I want to discover more ways to make them, and this is a fun coincidence that you've just done a vid on this, greatttt
The glass container has no uneven surface, nothing for the bubbles to get released. Adding the pasta instantly released all the bubbles and made it overflow. Container diff.
indeed, it's the lack of nucleation points. it's the same effect of Mentos in Coke, albeit a different source of stored energy. In this case it causes the water to superheat above boiling, and @futurecanoe it's extremely dangerous. it can also happen in the microwave. most modern glassware is made with engineered imperfections for this reason
I just finished my first plate of homemade capatelli filled with ricotta (it's actually the first time I tried this pasta) and I love it, I made it with that lime sauce you made, literally so good.
It was super fun watching you make all those pasta shapes. I also feel less scared of making fresh pasta now. However, I DO feel like this is an elaborate defense of your refusal to buy more kitchen appliances lmao
12:16 in fact the original recipe of Culurgionis is not with ricotta but with a potato filling. In it there is also a bit of garlic, dried mint and pecorino sardo
Cappeletti looks exactly like Russian dumpilings the only difference is that we use ground meat(usually chicken or beef+pork mix) instead of pumpkins. You should definitely try it out, it's one of the best Russian dishes out there
I said this previously in a future video about dumplings (don't worry about that sentence's future past tense), but he really makes stuff seem so much simpler it makes you want to try. I ended up making some of the dumpling soup and I loved it and even adjusted a bit after. Now I really want to try a bit of pasta. I had tried a long time ago making it and bought some robot-attachments and shit for it but it all turned out horrible after so much work I didn't even know what to fix and never tried again .Now I just wanna do this. Thanks, man.
cooking tipp: you dont need to peel butternut-pumpkin/squash the skin is eddible and thin enough that it cooks at the same time as the flesh plus the outside is not so slipery
When boiling water in those smooth glass pots, put a wood chopstick in it while you wait for it to boil. Then it won't overflow since there is a textured surface for the bubbles to form on and escape
The Instagram Comments never miss but "everything reminds me of her" took me out. It kinda did look like a... anyway, I'm glad you did a pasta tutorial that was not only realistic but Chill. Some of them go out of the way to add extra steps and some take themselves way too seriously. Even the chaotic ones can get too much but this? This was cool and please make the knife sharpening video when you can. Alright, thank you. Happy Holidays.
Tip for next time... try sage in your sage butter (you used thyme), but sage is delicious with butternut squash. The thyme probably tasted a little off in that?
Bros straight up evolving in a good way. Genuinely impressed by the care and technique you showed in this video, and for what seems like the first time you made a joke that wasn't a lame innuendo and I laughed at it! If there's more honest content like this to come then I'm 100% here for it. This kind of stuff will take you from a guilty pleasure to a channel I can actually sub and recommend to my normal friends.
I think this was the first time I really noticed you got some skills! That knife work was pretty fine for example imo Still basic equipment and very down to earth tho. Really like those sorta recipes!
My favourite thing is that Canoe will repeat an intricate recipe if something was a bit off (the rounded pasta shape) but is too lazy to chop the spinach that will take 30 seconds. It’s the true spirit
I first learned how to use a French rolling pin and now I can't for the life of me use that kind of rolling pin you had in the video. I really hoping I get this nice French rolling pin for xmas lol Edit: My homemade pasta (usually just AP Flour, water, and salt) typically takes about 30-90 seconds for me to cook. I tend to make spaghetti pasta, but never thought to put flour on the top and fold it over, so it was time-consuming and never straight... I would have to get the largest knife to try and make it lol.
This might surprise you, but the first dish is called "fettuccine Alfredo". Yeah, exactly those famous "Alfredo". The original recipes for the sauce was invented in Rome, in which the restaurant that popularized the recipe is still open today after around a century. When the recipe reached the US, Americans added further ingredients like heavy cream, parsley and other stuff I don't know why. As an Italian, my assumption is that in the US you have to justify the price of a dish adding a lot of stuff in it to make it resemble hard to prepare. But most of our Italian recipes have something like 3 to 4 ingredients and that's all. Source? Trust me bro, I'm Italian, living in Rome and my office is 5 minutes away from "Restaurant Alfredo".
