    I definitely think you should retry the experiment, but when you go to reconstitute the chicken, you should use a 50/50 mixture of beef tallow and water, and then use a food emulsifier to combine them into a singular liquid. I think the problem you are having here is that the fat doesn't really rehydrate the chicken (its not water, its fat). I feel that would make the chicken both moist and beefy without compromising.

      Exactly my thoughts. But i think you wanna use like a 70 Stock 30 Fat mix because the chicken will get gooey from so much fat. Another problem i saw was the part where he soaked the Chicken inside those Liquids. He should have given them small ammounts over time so its perfectly hydrated and not soaked.. because it will reduce the surface temperature of the meat and the pan when so much liquid is oozing out wich makes a crust harder to form and results in more dryness. And he Should dry age the Chicken for a light ammount of time before freeze drying. Sorry for bad english lmao

      @isaiahc8390 2 роки тому

      Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
      Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
      Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
      Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
      Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
      Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
      Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
      Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
      Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
      Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
      Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
      Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey. They lost control of Palestine in 1917 AD, Israel became a nation again in 1948

    I used to make chicken breast that tasted like a steak without so much effort.
    A local shop sold wagyu steaks which were just a lower class of wagyu or one of the various cross breeds but they were good steaks, great for the price.
    Anyway I would scoop them up cheap at closing time every now and cook them in a good pan, then while the steak rested cook a thin cut chicken breast in the wagyu fat.
    Doing it at a similar temp to the steak and in all that good fat meant the chicken got most of the steak taste and even a bit of crust like a steak but could be kept juicy.
    Can't do it anymore because that shop no longer stocks any kind of wagyu since most of thier sales came when it went cheap to sell it fast due to sell by dates.

    I think it would be interesting to try this again but using a mix to rehydrate the chicken breast:
    - Wagyu tallow for the fat content and flavour
    - Water (as learned in the other freeze-dry video, you can't use 100% fat)
    - Myoglobin (if you can collect it, it should give the redness and some of the taste of red meat)
    - Beef stock (possibly to amp up the flavour)

    Generally speaking, you can't really rehydrate meat with fat. Most protein are soluble in water, not oil. Or at least are organized in a way that they want to be touching water. And when you remove all of the water, most of what you are left with are protein and cell membranes (there are of course DNA, RNA , etc., but they aren't readily available on the surface). And without water (or at least more water than there is in the tallow), it shouldn't be much more different than taking a bite of the dehydrated one and a spoon full of fat.
    Having said all of that, I would be super curious to try all of them :D

    Guga, there’s a relatively new culinary technique for blending oils and waters without emulsifiers called vacuum blending. You basically just buy a special lid for your blender that sucks all the air out while blending, and for reasons still not fully understood by science, oils and waters don’t separate afterward.
    I’d be interested to see you try rehydrating freeze-dried meats with a blended stock/tallow mixture.

  • @savvasdonta33

    Hey Guga -- just FYI you can't rehydrate with fat (which is why it doesn't absorb as well as the stocks). The cells in the chicken breast can absorb water readily once they're dehydrated, but fat can't go through the cell walls like water can. Basically if you try to reconstitute it with fat, it surrounds the chicken in fat but the chicken doesn't really actually absorb any.

      Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
      Revelation 6 1st Seal: White horse = Roman Empire conquering nations under Trajan 98-117 AD & Gospel spreading rapidly. 2nd Seal: Red horse, bloody civil wars with 32 different Emperors, most killed by the sword. 185-284 AD 3rd Seal: Black horse, economic despair from high taxes to pay for wars, farmers stopped growing. 200-250 AD 4th Seal: Pale horse, 1/4th of Romans died from famine, pestilence; at one point 5,000 dying per day. 250-300 AD 5th Seal: Diocletian persecuted Smyrna church era saints for ten years, blood crying out for vengeance. 303-312 AD 6th Seal: Political upheaval in the declining Roman Empire while the leaders battled each other. 313-395 AD
      Revelation 7 Sealing of 144,000, the saints, before trumpet war judgments, which led to the fall of the Roman Empire.
      Revelation 8 1st Trumpet: Alaric and the Goths attacked from the north, the path of hail, and set it on fire. 400-410 AD 2nd Trumpet: Genseric and the Vandals attacked the seas and coastlands, the blood of sailors in water. 425-470 AD 3rd Trumpet: Attila and the Huns scourged the Danube, Rhine & Po rivers area, dead bodies made water bitter. 451 AD 4th Trumpet: Odoacer and the Heruli caused the last Western Emperor (sun), Senate (moon) to lose power. 476 AD With the Western Roman Emperor (restrainer of 2 Thes. 2) removed; the son of perdition Popes took power.
      Revelation 9 Two woe judgments against the central 1/3rd and eastern 1/3rd of the Roman Empire. 612-1453 AD 5th Trumpet: Locust & scorpions point to Arabia, the rise of the Muslim army. Islam hides Gospel from Arabs. 612-762 AD 6th Trumpet: Turks released to attack Constantinople with large cannons (fire, smoke, brimstone). 1062-1453 AD
      Revelation 10 The little book is the printed Bible, which was needed after the Dark Ages when Scriptures were banned by Popes.
      Revelation 11 7th Trumpet: Martin Luther measured Roman Church; found that it’s an apostate church, not part of true temple. The two witnesses are the Scriptures and saints who proclaim the pure Gospel and testify against the antichrist Popes. Papal Church pronounced Christendom dead in 1514 AD. Silence for 3.5 years. Then Luther posted his 95 Thesis, which sparked the Protestant Reformation and brought the witnesses back to life. Millions of Catholics were saved.
      Revelation 12 Satan used the Roman Empire to try to wipe out the early Church, Satan was cast down as the Empire collapsed.
      Revelation 13 The antichrist beast Popes reigned in power 1,260 years, 538-1798, is the little horn of Daniel 7, son of perdition. The false prophet Jesuit Superior General rose to power from land (earth) of Vatican and has created many deceptions.
      Revelation 14 Points to great harvest during the Protestant Reformation & wrath on Catholic countries who obey antichrist Pope.
      Revelation 15 Overcoming saints victorious over the beast. Prelude to 7 vials and judgment on those who support Papal Rome.
      Revelation 16 1st Vial: The foul sore of atheism was poured out on Catholic France, leaving them with no hope, led to revolution. 2nd Vial: The French Revolution started in 1793, killed 250,000, as France had obeyed the Pope and killed saints. 3rd Vial: The French Revolution spread to rural areas of France, where Protestants had been killed in river areas. 4th Vial: The bloody Napoleonic wars shed the blood of countries who had revered and obeyed the antichrist Pope. 5th Vial: Judgment on the seat of the beast. Papal States invaded in 1798, Pope imprisoned, removed from power. 6th Vial: The Turks vast domain dried up, they were only left with Turkey.

    Hey guge, an idea to perhaps make this work better is to mix together the beef stock and wagyu tallow in like an 80/20 or 10/90 fat/stock ratio, then use some kind of emulsifier to mix the wagyu fat with the stock. Something like starch, or gelatin, or maybe even lecithin. I think with previous freeze-dried experiments you've done, fat doesn't absorb into meat very well, it needs water to reconstitute the proteins in there. And if there's a little fat emulsified into the stock, it'll get absorbed into the meat along with the water.

      @duffman18 2 роки тому +8

      @@ITIsFunnyDamnIT I mean, the "juiciness" of meat has little to do with the water content of it, it's about the fat. That's why brining meat, either a dry brine or wet brine, makes it a lot more juicy and tender, because the salt breaks down the fat and protein cells so that the contents inside get released and it just makes the meat amazing. That's the reason chicken breast is dry, because it has basically no fat, whereas the dark meat is full of fat and so they're juicy. So just adding water to meat doesn't make it juicy.
      The reason marinades work is because they have salt in them, and so they brine the meat. And why stock is so useful for making meat tender and juicy, because it's very very salty. It's not the water in stock that makes it juicy, it's the salt, because the salt breaks down the protein and fat cells.
      So yeah dehydrating the chicken is not necessarily the problem. But it does seem to be an unnecessary step. He ended up marinating the chicken anyway. So might as well skip the freeze drying part. Still just marinade it in wagyu tallow, maybe with added salt as well (unless wagyu tallow already has a lot of salt in it already, I've never seen it for sale in my country so I don't know). The water is unnecessary, you don't need stock to make the meat juicy, you just need salt. Because the salt breaks down all the cells and gets absorbed into the meat when you brine it, anything else you've put on it along with the salt (like herbs and spices) gets absorbed into it too. I'm not sure if tallow can get absorbed into meat this way. But it'd be worth a try. Use tallow (wagyu or otherwise) plus perhaps some salt, as a kind of brine, and leave it for a while like that. For a small amount of meat, you wouldn't need that long to brine it, and actually it can be possible to quickly over-brine it. For something like a regular steak, I know you're only meant to leave a dry brine on it for an hour or so. For something like a whole chicken it can be brined for much longer. For a whole turkey, people usually leave it to brine overnight, because they're so big. You can brine a whole turkey by keeping it in buckets full of salt water for 8-18 hours, and for a dry brine for a whole turkey you coat it in salt and leave it for 48-72 hours.
      But yeah, just adding water to meat doesn't make it juicy. You could "marinate" some meat in pure salt-less water for days and it wouldn't make it juicy. You need salt. The purpose of the water in a wet-brine/marinade is just to make it so the salt covers all of the surface of the meat. Oh and don't use too much salt, because like with leaving it to brine for too long, it actually ends up making it really dry. It's all about the right amount of salt and the right amount of time, not too little and not too much

      @@duffman18 What salt mainly does is shift the osmotic balance. Salt is mostly Natrium chloride (industrially produced "salt" being 100% NCL). 1 NCL molecule binds 6 water molecules to it. Now, with a brine being a lot "saltier" than the chicken's intramuscular liquid, brining leads to an osmotic "influx" of brine into the meat due to the dysbalance in salt (read: electrolyte) levels being re-balanced. In a nutshell, NCL "travels" into the meat, each molecule taking 6 water molecules with it. Hence the higher level of intramuscular liquid ("juiciness") after brining. The added flavour is a side effect of the spice aromas also being transported into the meat.

    Lecithin is commonly used in food industry, easily get it from eggs, or buy it directly purified from soy for example. I think if an emulsion can be made of tallow/water it may increase the chances of infusing the fats into the meat compared to fats alone.

But still, it would be very interesting in using a beef stock reduction, that has a really high viscosity, and yes, he could even try to emulsify the beef fat in the stock or put some cold butter in it, which emulsifies by itself, so there would be a better penetration into the meat. Maybe it is even better to use an oil, so it stays a liquid in the fridge and doesnt separate.

    Chicken breast is my favorite actually and it can be made to be so tender and juicy. You just gotta marinate it right. Let me give you an example: Sunflower oil (or other no taste oil), Garam masala, piripiri sauce, black pepper, soy sauce, MSG, garlic powder, sugar. Idea is for reverse osmosis to inject the taste into the outer layer of the meat.
    Make sure the breast is cut to have similar dimensions all around, mix well, cover and keep in fridge at least 2 hours. Before you cook, take it out one hour before and keep at room temperature covered. Have a pan heated up with a very thin layer of oil (I wipe it with paper towel) then at high heat place the breast and don't move it, it needs to get a crust so the moisture remains inside. When you see the white going up around the edges and it starts to slide easely, flip it and it is almost done.
    Hard to explain as even 30 seconds extra can make it lose juice and so a lot of taste and it gets dry. Persoanlly, I have a way easier time cooking beef as it is way easier to make it tasty and the margin of error is bigger as if you screw up the medium rare you will get a medium and that is great too.

      Also my god, you guys must never have had good chicken outside of deepfried stuff, considering your reactions. Also you have the damn solution on the table, cook normal chicken to a perfect temperature. In wagyu tallow.
      Also chicken should be cooked nice and slow, but I dunno about parasites and stuff in the US, here chicken has to be 100% clean to be allowed to be sold, technically you should be able to eat it raw. Chicken isnt a steak, it doesnt need a crust, it needs a perfect internal temperature and juicyness, this is achiveved by setting an oven or similar to the perfect temperature, aka 68 celsius. Bring the chicken to temperature and keep it there for 5 minutes to make sure all of its properly heated and serve as quickly as you can, unlike steak, chicken does not like to rest.
      Not liking chicken is fine, but you are making me feel the way you'd feel if someone served you a well done wagyu and called it steak.

Also chicken breast is the driest because people don't know how to cook it. Mostly because baked chicken has to be done to 180F so the rest of the dark meat can finish cooking including the bone. People assuming chicken breast is bad and dry is a poor excuse for people to not try cooking it properly. The fat is flavor thing is starting to get old to be honest. Fat tastes fatty until its hit with high heat to caramelize the flavors. People confuse Texture and moisture with flavor.
