    Great Video Dan, I think you do a great job, explaining everything with some handy hints, like adding Ricotta cheese, and adding the hamburger amount to make bread Crumbs. I like the hint, of cracking the egg on a flat surface also! You also have a sense of humour, which made me Smile! Thanks Dan! Marjie from Brisbane Australia.

    Thank you Dan Holzman for your great explanation of the art of the meatball. Made this for Christmas... Fabulous--everyone loved them--adults and kids-- and it was my first time making meatballs.. I guess it is now a Christmas tradition..I bring the meatballs. I love well thought out receipes and I love that you are teaching people to cook.

    THANK YOU FOR THIS! I was trying to find a way to "explain" why we use the ingredients in meatballs to my aspiring 7 yr old chef and this was perfect! Also, I have always fried them (which is why I never made them very often) so this roasting technique will be used from now on! I loved that the recipe was pretty straight forward. It was not far off from my grandmothers, I like the addition of ricotta instead of milk! But thank you for your way of explaining the importance of the ingredients! This was so helpful!

    Dan, great video. Why UA-cam recommended to me 8+ years after you made it I don't know. Great explanations for a home cook on why meatballs are made a certain way. Also thanks for giving the basic ingredient amounts in a scalable form. You are also orating some pretty good hidden comedy in your demonstration that keeps it interesting. Thanks for great vid.
    I made a 2/1 beef/pork three pound batch and the meatballs came out awesome. Yellow disher size was perfect and your cook time was perfect. Thanks again.

    Just as when scooping ice cream, if you dip that scoop in water occasionally the meat will come out easier. Give it a quick shake after the dip. Thanks for sharing so many tips, great video!

  • @anilgill6846
    @anilgill6846 4 роки тому +3

    I always pan fry to get the "crust" and then let it slowly cook through in the homemade pasta sauce in the last 45 minutes- brings a subtle complexity to both the sauce and meatballs :)

      That's what I noticed as well, fast chopping. And you don't get that fast without allot of practice. Been following your meatball shop since a program I saw several years back, that featured nothing but meatballs all over the USA. Meatball Shop's are the best.

    My Hubby had Coeliac disease so I learned to make meatballs with a mix of potato fiber and full fat cream.
    Swedish meatballs are a lot smaller so I just roll a nice big lump into a ~1.5 to 2cm thick log and pinch of 3 pieces the same thickness and roll them (My grandma taught me to roll meatballs 3 at a time) and dump em into a oven tray and put em in the oven.

    Tried this to the letter. In my opinion these meatballs roasted in the oven were not as good as when I brown them in a frying pan and then cook them in a tomato sauce for about an hour and a half. I used Laura Vitalie's method and they were significantly better IMHO.

    • @12Weeks4Life
      @12Weeks4Life 8 років тому

      +Boneshaker I agree. They're good, and they're easy, but you don't get that slightly crispy carmelization that you do when you brown them in olive oil.

  • @omnifay469
    @omnifay469 4 роки тому

    Kosher salt for some reason has many angles to it that cover so many angles to the dish your preparing. BUT, if anyone knows other interesting salts, I'd love to hear about it. I got a gift salt a week ago, I forgot the name, but it's pink in color! Pretty good, though. Kinda reminds me of salt flats that flamingos feed at for brine shrimp, but there isn't any shrimp flavor, it just looks like it was from a place like that.

  • @mlee8730

    • @debradowling800
      @debradowling800 3 роки тому

      Fry or bake them, then freeze. Just drop them straight from the freezer into your sauce and cook for 30-45 minutes. Makes a nice mid week treat for supper.

    • @jackh577
      @jackh577 3 роки тому +1

      Either way, but I prefer freezing raw. I roll them, place them of a sheet pan and put it in the freezer. After they start to freeze, I put them in a big zip lock bag. If you cook them first, it's faster to just reheat them, but I think reheating and already cooking product is less flavorful that cooking them fresh.

    Hey... this is exactly how I make my meatballs except I use parmesan cheese, some garlic and I use a 1 oz ice cream scoop (black handle, it's the only scoop I have that I got free from the restaurant supply store) and roasted @400 F for 15 minutes. I'll have to try ricotta cheese next time. The yellow disher/scoop is not 2 oz (it's 1 5/8 oz, says so on the handle).

    • @jackh577

      The numbers on ice cream scoops is a volume measurement, not a weight measurement.

    16:21 --- Though, if one properly and carefully measured all of the ingredients they were using to season the meatballs, or sauce, or whatever, and always used the *same amounts*, this shouldn't even be necessary. Seems to me that this is only necessary if one is careless or always eyeballs the amount of ingredients they add. They make measuring devices/tools and scales for a reason.
