Lacto-Fermentation Experiment: Preserved Lemons and Beyond
Preserved Lemons should really be called "Aged Lemons", or something pretentious like that to capture the very important point, that it is not just a method to save the last few lemons from the bag you can't go through fast enough, but actually a way to truly elevate the ingredient. Preserved lemons and limes have been used all over the world for ages, from North Africa to Southeast Asia - you can find Moroccan stews, Cantonese drinks, and anything in between that calls for these goodies.
This is a lacto-fermentation comparison experiment for lemons and citrus in general. If you don't have an abundance of lemons, this is still a great way for you turn used up lemon peels into a treasured condiment. After squeezing out all the juice, you can preserve just the peels alone, which are the most prized part of preserved citrus anyways!

Eggs Benedicts 2 Ways: Dried Yolk Powder vs Fresh Egg Hollandaise
Переглядів 3,1 тис.Місяць тому
This is part two of the dried egg powder experiment! I made hollandaise from reconstituted eggs and fresh eggs, after being thoroughly impressed at how well dehydrated eggs work for carbonara. While this time the dried eggs didn't mindblowingly outperform fresh imo, it is amazingly easy to work with, and you can easily scale it down to single-serve portions - harder to work with a fraction of a...

    Rather than using a silicone mold, wouldn't a metal mold of the same shape theoretically produce better results? Silicone is designed to be heat-resistant, and may be preventing the meringues from properly cooking. I may experiment with this at some point. Love the video, by the way :).

    There are so many varieties of rice available in India.... So if you want to make them you have to choose right variety of rice(like, semolina made from "Durum wheat" ) ... puffed rice are two types .... one (we call it "khoi" ) is make from whole grain rice(in Bengali language we call it "dhan") and another (we call it "muri" ) is make from just rice(any parboiled rice, but best is brown coloure parboiled rice).... here you can also found "Flatten rice"... then the flatten rice also convert to crispy.... but one thing you need to know salt does not always work as sand... You have to find thick and clear sand .... if you use fine sand then the result will show very bad... puffed rice also be feel have sand on it.... my English is not so good but I try to explain it.......

    I love the texture and taste of soft boiled eggs but I gave up on making them years ago... I bought a pack of those cheap little silicone 'cups' to make poached eggs in. I can make breakfast for 5 or 6 people really quickly, and the garlic butter toast is ready by the time the eggs are done. I live happily with that compromise... I don't plan on making soft boiled eggs ever again. I'm posting this so others might consider this as an alternative.

    • @workdaygourmet
      @workdaygourmet 27 днів тому

      I make poached eggs far more often too. Soft boiled is like 90% for marinating and 10% for picnic/road trip where I want something portable. If you're home and just want plain egg for a salad or toast, poached or fried would be a lot faster and easier.

  • @foleycomposer

    Pouring the boiling water is genius! Instead, what I've been doing is boiling the eggs in a pasta cooker that has a nesting colander. I put the main pot and colander together to cover the eggs with enough water, then separate the pot and colander leaving the eggs in the colander, bring the water in the main pot, and add the eggs in the colander to the pot once the water is at a rolling boil. Once it's boiled for about a minute, I put it aside for however long I need to get whatever stage of boiled eggs, pull out the whole colander and change the water in the pot to cold water. If it's a smaller batch of eggs, I use a scoop colander to place the eggs in the boiling water instead.

    In some ramen shops they have a device with a small needle that they pinch the butt of the egg with it's only air so the egg doesn't leak. Once you cook it and icebath it, the water can go neatly between the egg and the shell or membrane. I need to procure myself one of those. I think.

    Peeling quail eggs is harder bc the membrane is much thicker. Roll the egg under light pressure so the shell is cracking all around it. Use the handle of a teaspoon and use it to remove the shell by slightly moving it under the membrane around the shells "equator". Once done you should be able to remove the top and the bottom shell from the egg. That method is working for chicken eggs too…
