    This is the first time I've watched an episode of this series... the Cheetos brought me here... but I am planning on watching this tomorrow with my 13-year-old son because if this isn't a perfect example of perseverance, I don't know what is. This chef has the exact determination, grit, and stick-to-it-iveness that we teachers want to instill in our students, and we parents want to see in our kids and if it takes a video of an obviously talented and knowledgable gourmet chef making multiple attempts to replicate the delicate wonder that is a Cheeto, I'm more than happy to bust open a bag and spend 16 minutes cozied up on the couch with my son and laptop. Thanks for a wonderful addition to the UA-cam blackhole!

    The ferrous sulfate, niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and folic acid are there because of the flour being used. Flour needs to be enriched with those nutrients. There are actually laws about that. So the list of ingredients is now much shorter.

      @@lindski11 It's because of the difference in diets. I'm Australian and flour used for bread here has to have folate and thiamin added. I have coeliac disease and have to use unenriched flours like rice and potato. After I was diagnosed I almost immediately became folate deficient. It's actually something they warn you about when you have to stop eating bread.

    • @corelli_cat1453
      @corelli_cat1453 4 роки тому +7

      It’s because some countries grind their flour so finely that all the nutrients disappear. Those nutrients exist naturally in flour, but fine, white flour is so processed that it has basically lost all nutritional value, and that’s why they have to add it in afterwards in order for it to even count as a food. If German flour don’t contain additives, it’s because their processing methods are able to keep what’s already in there naturally, and it’s not necessary to add anything. It’s a very sad, capitalistic phenomenon that started sometime after the second world war, if I remember correctly. Solution: Use more coarsly ground white flour, or wholemeal flour. Not sure if organic would also do the trick, might be worth researching

    Having worked at the factory, I can assure that Cheetos are NOT fried.
    They use a process similar to frying, which is called extrusion. After the pastry gets cut into shape, it goes in a conveyor belt, inside the extruder. This machine sprays hot oil on the pastry for a certain amount of time. There is no flavours added so far.
    Then, when it cools down a little bit, on another conveyor belt, it is dropped into a drum with the flavouring and colouring. This drum works like a tumble dryer and the thing stays tumbling there for a few seconds and go to another conveyor belt, to be taken to the packaging area.

    I watched just to see how would you extrude the masa! This kind of puffed corn snack is extruded under a lot of steam heat and pressure. When the dough leaves the extruder, the compressed steam inside the masa expands under atmospheric pressure and puffs the dough making it airy and light. This is the secret. Of course you can't do it without an specialized machine.
