I like how he doesn’t seem to give much of a fuck about cooking. He’s treating it like the chore it is for a lot of people as opposed to the passion that it is for others
As much as people meme the stock pot, they work surprisingly well in pretty much any recipe that calls for a stock. On a good day I make my own stock with veggies and whatever bones the local butcher have left, but when I'm really short on time these stock pots are great substitute. You won't notice a big difference between the real deal and the bootleg in most meals, but they give the dish way more fragrance and umami sweetness.
@@friedhelmfunky6880 Sir, you win today's internets. Was about to... but you already had. That slanty wee fucker was weened on a bottle of msg distillate.
I tried the chicken stock pot. All I can say is it really adds flavour and the dept of the flavor i just add half. Of it . It's really flavourful. No joke.
He still is a "techincal genius chef" and it's his choice what to do. He has a relatively simple way to get some money advertising some products while doing a thing he did and does a lot. I really don't agree that he has "devolved". His mindset has just probably changed over the years and in my opinion it is 100% fine. By the way all of this is just my opinion about what's going on.
It's hard to believe that such a technical genius chef from the 80s could want to give recipes for home cooks who aren't going to spend hours making a glace de viande. Oh, wait. That's not hard to believe at all.
Today I decided to like the video. I started by intensifying the flavour of my mouse by rubbing a stock pot on it, instead of making a glace de viande in the usual way. After I clicked I felt good about the results. It was my choice after all.
@@brandons2825 US Stock Pots do contain MSG, but they're a long, long way from being "pure MSG." And, really, there's nothing wrong with MSG. Sodium is sodium, just like in common salt; glutamic acid is an amino acid, which is found in any protein. Really not a big deal.
@@Eghyaggihn I like to know what is in my food. That is why I buy organic and/or free range. I avoid processed food. I don't want: glucose syrup potassium chloride palm oil, caramel syrup, gelling agents xanthan gum, locust bean gum maltodextrin lovage root†. PS I doubt he uses this in his restaurant!
@@CoVianna then you don't eat any dried meat, more or less everything you mentioned is in those or maltodextrine? Heston Blumenthal swears by it for his crazy dishes, just another type of sugar... the only controversial thing in your list is palm oil and not because it's not healthy, it's very healthy, it's just an environmental disaster of cutting Palms and tropical forest.
