      There are some things the instant pot is good for. For example, if you want the best of the best of the best of chicken stock, you use an old hen, raised free range, slaughtered and cleaned at home. (I know this thought is repugnant to many, but where do you think your chicken and beef comes from? It doesn't grow on a tree, and somebody has to do the slaughtering and cleaning. A hen that roamed several years freely is definitely better off than the three months chicken raised on concentrated food with no place to move that you get in the supermarket.) Only, that old hen's meat is tender like a shoe sole, even after hours of cooking - the stock is great, but the meat doesn't get soft. You have two ways to soften it. The traditional way is to stick 1-2 rusty nails into it - after half an hour of simmering on low heat it becomes edible - be sure to do this after you have cooked it for two hours or more, to create the stock. The alternative, modern, non-traditional way is to cook it for 20 minutes in the instant pot at the highest pressure. It will obviously not taste as good as a young rooster, but if allows you to not waste food - which, with so many people hungering in the world, is IMO a decent thing to do, even when you personally don't ever go hungry. But the soup will be beyond words.

The major difference that sets these two canned milk products apart is sugar content; sweetened condensed milk, as the name implies, is always sweetened, while evaporated milk is unsweetened

      ​@@videsjlv You need to learn to watch videos properly, my friend!
      She never claimed to be chef in the first place, so you don't need to take her that away.
      She made absolutely clear, why it is a problem to salt PASTA after cooking it, instead of adding water to the cooking water. Because it is unevenly distributed. That is why. So you will be left with unseasoned or overseasoned pasta.
      She never said: adding salt to a DISH is a problem.
      She is a brilliant cook. She proved that over and over. To say she is no "chef" is purely ignorant.
      Gordon on the other hand made me cringe as well. Really? Oil in the water? No salt in the water? Adding Salt afterwards?
      These are bad, beginner mistakes. But I wouldn't be so foolish to claim: "He is no chef".

    Summary of mistakes:
    Gordon:
    - oil in cooking water (unnecessary and a huge waste of expensive oil)
    - salting cooked pasta (unnecessary, uneven sapidity)
    Lidia:
    - too much garlic (a fifth to a tenth would have been enough. The point of aglio e olio is to flavor the oil, not to burp up garlic for a month)
    - excessive pasta water (it is usually omitted in aglio e olio, if you want to use it you would use a couple spoons when tossing the pasta)
    Blonde lady in 3rd segment
    - everything is wrong and sacrilegious to Italians. Good example of everything you must absolutely NEVER do to pasta.
    4th segment:
    - everything is wrong and sacrilegious to Italians. No relationship whatsoever to Italian cuisine.
    Filipino Spaghetti

      @Nancy Miller Lidia is ethnically Italian born in Istria, present day Croatia. No Poland in her history. The garlic overkill is evidently an American influence. Don't know why Americans think we use tons and tons of garlic but I guess she's gotta play into the stereotype a bit to keep the audience interested.
      Gordon's specialty is French cuisine, personally I consider his grasp of Italian techniques and flavors rather weak as he demonstrated in many recipes where he uses French techniques, pointless ingredient additions and "embellishments" in mishandled Italian dishes. Trust the man with a beef Wellington more than a dish of tomato spaghetti.

    For the Filipino dish at the end, I think it is really important to understand Filipino culture and particularly their cuisine history. It is deliberately not an Italian dish anymore. Filipino cuisine has a long history of being influenced by many different cultures, and - though I’m not an expert - might be one of the most “fusion” cuisines out there.
    While I respect that an Italian may not cook that way, this is not an interpretation of an Italian dish, this is a Filipino dish that has influences from Italian cuisine. It’s an important distinction.
    All this is not to say it wouldn’t come across as strange or “wrong” to an Italian, it I do think it is important to also have the perspective that this is not an Italian dish anymore. It’s more appropriate to think of it like a French or Greek or other dish, even though you can see the Italian influence.
    Also, I love your channel and subscribed! You guys are great and I really love your dynamic as well as the food!

      @Louise, there is no need for you to apologize for the sweet spaghetti that you grew up with! Did you know that is believed that pasta and other noodles from all countries in the world were descended from noodles originating in China well over 4000 years ago? Therefore, no country, Italy included, should claim the "right" to tell others how to cook their pasta, noodles, or whatever you want to call them. Be proud of your culinary heritage. Everyone's food culture has validity. :-)

      ​​​@@louisebuenavista2140Being Italian, I can say that very few of my compatriots would seriously object to a recipe from another Country, even if it involves pasta: the problem arises when people with no experience, probably without even knowing where Italy is, claim to know how to cook our recipes. Indeed, they even claim to be able to teach our cuisine, while instead the result they get is embarrassing. The video on the pressure cooker, for example, is absurd, here there is a saying to define terribly overcooked pasta: "We attack posters with that stuff!" 😁

I explained why I had to be able to just put it in my mouth and swallow. Worse yet, I couldn't put a fork in my mouth and had to cut it up and scoop it up with a spoon.

    The one with red hotdogs are Pinoy-style spaghetti, which is sweet. I grew up with spaghetti and never would have thought that the authentic spaghetti dishes often requires no meat to savor the flavor of the ingredients. Same with pinoy-style carbonara, it uses bacon or ham, mushrooms, with bechamel/full cream milk. When I tasted the authentic versions of the dishes, I am blown away. And while I still love Pinoy-style pastas, I found myself more drawn to simple but flavorful simple marinara, basil pesto, and Italian carbonara offers.
