    Guga! You must try this dry-age method, is very famous in italy and extremly good. Use bread dough! Wrap the meat completly with it and, after that, put in the oven just for 10 minute, like baking bread, just for let it become harder. Optionally you can also put a lot of salt on it before baking, the salt is meant to better avoide moisture into it. Finally put in the fridge for 30-40 days and later thank me ;)

    Random chemist here. You could also just boil the water first, then add the salt and water to a glass container and mixe it in there. For an easier crystallisation you can add a grain of flake salt as a nucleation point. Also, put it in the fridge to get more salt out of the brine before evaporating the liquid.
    Fun fact. You can also freeze out some of the liquid by putting it the the freezer for some time, and thereby concentrating the brine :)

    • @en2oh
      @en2oh 2 місяці тому

      Another random chemist. Try some Rochelle Salt (.5g to 1g /l) added before making the saturated solution. This will give you much better defined pyramid salt structure. Scoop off the top and dry as usual. The Rochelle salt (alum) is non toxic. Very flaky!

    When I was a kid, one of the fun things to do was to take a cut glass container, fill it about 1/3 the way with hot water and stir in salt untill it would no longer desolve. Then the glass would be put somewhere where it wouldn't tip over and left for several days. It was fasinating watching the salt "grow" over the edge and down the sides of the glass.

      To those suggesting copy cat work, There are multiple UA-camrs that have went into this salt making, including Adam Regusea, and his crystals were more of the ideal shape and size than this video, plus he went to learn about it from the main artisansso his video is not just from easily copying an existing video if he took inspiration from this one at all. There was significant original effort he put in to it. Most of cooking UA-cam is taking inspiration from each other.

    Guga, would love to see you do a video about thawing steak. Everyone recommends that you thaw steak gently in the fridge if possible, but I've never noticed a difference if I thaw a (vacuum sealed) steak on the counter or under running water. Maybe you could test 4 methods: gentle overnight thaw in the fridge, on the counter, (vacuum sealed) in water, and thawed in the microwave using defrost.

    The best salt I have ever tasted for use on steaks: A Korean “Black Salt” (no not real black salt x so long ago I no longer recall korean name). It was a flaky salt mixed with a little ash from various plants (ashes are Sodium & Potassium salt compounds) - There is also a “Roasted Salt”: Salt packed inside a bamboo tube, sealed & roasted. Alas, I no longer recall either the Korean word or the Hangul spelling ... but the flavour on steak is truly the next level!

    GUGA... I did some research on this last year. I am waiting for summer to come back around due to my location, but from my research bigger crystals of salt result from a slower drying process. instead of the oven, I plan to put a glass tray outside and cover with cheesecloth for a few days. Just a tip you might want to try. Figured I would share since I like your channel so much lol.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: kosher salt and recrystalised salt like this is more pure than table salt, which means that there is less, if not no Iodide in your salt, so this is really not a good idea for pregnant women and growing children. You might not know this, but iodine deficiencies can lead to serious developmental disorders, which is why most manufactured table salt nowadays contains trace amounts of sodium iodide.
