Experimentation is never "wrong", but this is what set his youtube presence apart from everyone else (outside of the food knowledge, much of which is contained in his books, which many of us own both of). It made me feel so relieved to boot up this video and have it be in the old style. It's just infinitely better than the more produced stuff. I'm a little sad that he paywalled the amounts. I know his youtube ad commissions aren't nothing (and in fact are probably pretty substantial, especially now that he has a pretty good body of work that people keep watching), but I also know that actual sponsorships pay way better. We live in capitalism, and money must be made, and he lives in one of the most expensive cities in the country to live in.

@epatollecrm Месяц назад

What you said at the start is why your long-form recipes (and all the experimentation that went into them) are so good, and I'm sure many of us do the same thing; once we understand why something is done, we can decide whether the effort is worth the reward. Very cool to the see that he man himself does the same thing when cooking at home.

I asked the owner of my favorite sushi restaurant what was the secret of their soba noodles. He said Mushroom Bouillon Powder. So now I add it to everything. It's a great alternative instead of using mushrooms.

@JasonBennett1 28 дней назад

I decided last night fifteen minutes before Costco closed to make a run for some ground beef, to try this recipe out - I'd done a turkey meatloaf years before that was...ok. I split the difference between here and the Food Lab version - I added the soy/anchovy mix, but dropped the liquid ingredient ratio. I was running multiple dishes for the week in the same oven, so the end bit with the high heat and the glazing was a little more in and out than expected, but the results were fantastic! Thanks Kenji!

Really appreciated this video! Really love The Food Lab, but the recipes in it can oftentimes feel significantly more overwhelming than the recipes you post on RU-vid. The meatloaf was one I wanted to try, but shied away from because of the ingredient list and effort required. I really needed the reminder you said at the beginning "Take what you want from the recipe and leave the rest behind." I will often get laser focused on following the recipe and forget it is a jumping off point. Thanks for the helpful reminder and the wonderful video!

Thanks for the video. Kinda funny story, last time I made meatloaf I realized too late I didn't have any milk or cream. So... I used sour cream and some ranch dressing. It actually turned out really good. I don't know about the ranch, but I think I'll put some sour cream in from now on.

I love cooking meatloaf indirectly on my Weber charcoal with some smoking wood chunks, at the same temperature as in the oven, and it is some of the most delicious meatloaf I've ever had. Ovens are great, but adding smoke is just another level of umami, IMO. Thanks for the recipe, Kenji!

Beef, egg, saltines, green pepper, onion, ketchup, worcestershire, with more ketchup on top, baked in a 400F oven until the outside is somewhere between crispy and burnt. I'm not sure how it works, but it's delicious. Also, cold meatloaf sandwiches on white bread with extra ketchup are fantastic.

When I make Meatloaf my end goal is a leftover Meat Loaf sandwich, so I don't shape it into a loaf at all, but a large sheet of meat which I cover in a very generous quantity of the glaze, then when I cut it each slice of the loaf is fully covered in that sauce.

@timothycharlton 11 дней назад

Such a fantastic video. Your videos are awesome as always. I have a buttermilk question: when I buy buttermilk, I often use the limited amount and the rest goes bad. Not a lot of applications for buttermilk. Can I freeze the rest and use it kind of like chicken stock , cooking wine, or other frozen items? I heard milk and apple cider vinegar is a reasonable hack in the absence of actual buttermilk. Thoughts?

@restorer19 28 дней назад

So 13 g of salt into about 1 kg of "stuff" - plus the salt already in the bread, and the soy sauce, and the worcestershire, and then 120g of cheese that's 1.725% salt, so the total salt in the meatloaf is already pushing past the upper limit of 1.5%, then add the salt from the glaze to the total. I'm going to guess a final salt concentration of just under 2% (after cooking), or about 900 mg of sodium for a 4 oz portion.
