      I used to eat chicken everyday like you, I tested all these methods and found that Souvide is my favorite way, these guys did not cook it right at all, they should’ve pre seasoned it and from the looks of it, they overcooked it to death. They also didn’t put a proper sear on it at all. The best tasting way is smoking it but it takes way too long and costs too much for a daily meal and the oven tastes good too but again they cooked it wrong, it should’ve cooked at a very low temp like 250 then seared under the broiler or a cast iron. Overall I expected more from this episode but it seems like they care more about their stupid jokes more than “science”

    • @heruhcanedean
      @heruhcanedean Рік тому +5

      Seafood has so many different things that fall under it, just an episode on prepping fish alone could be a hour.
      Covering basic prep there's fillet (skinned and skin on), steaks, whole (with and without guts).
      Then they can be cooked by smoke, pan-sear, grill, oven, steam, poach, fry, raw if saltwater (don't eat freshwater fish raw), or cooked with acid like ceviche. I'm sure I'm forgetting something.
      That's not even getting into clams/mussels/scallops, squid, crab, urchin, octopus, lobster/crawdad, or shrimp. Roe could also count? Frogs and alligators are also considered seafood.
      I love me some seafood if you can't tell.
      Something I don't understand is why things caught in freshwater is also called "seafood."

    • @heruhcanedean
      @heruhcanedean Рік тому +2

      My idea of a perfect scallop involves a wet suit, relaxing on the rocks, and using my diving knife to cut it free form the shell. They are so sweet and salty when they are that fresh they don't need anything else.
      At home I get a cast iron pan over med-high heat, once it's hot put olive oil and butter in the pan. Scallops in and season with some salt and pepper, flip after 3 minutes when they have a nice color. Maybe 2 minutes tops on the second side. As soon as they come out of the pan melt some extra butter in the pan with some lemon juice and try to get any brown bits up. That's your sauce.
      Hope that gives you some confidence for how easy scallops are. The worst that could happen is you mess up, then you learn from the mistakes.

  • @nafspark
    @nafspark Рік тому +20

    Sous vide chicken turns out completely different depending on the time/temp you use. Keep in mind that for your non-SV breasts, you're only wanting to just barely reach your target temp, but if you set your water bath to that temp and let it hang out for an hour or two, that chicken is going to be mega overcooked.
    I prefer SV chicken breast at 145 for an hour or two, depending on thickness and whatnot.
    But I've learned that you never want to go from water bath to searing directly. I like to take my SV bag and drop it in a bowl of cold water for a few mins before searing. This lets the meat rest a bit and gives you more of a temperature buffer to be able to sear the outside without risking overcooking the center that you just worked so hard to cook perfectly. And I do this for anything I sous vide and am intending to sear afterwards. Works great for me.

    With sous vide you can actually cook chicken breast at a lower temperature like 145° because it cooks at a consistent temperature for a long period that it pasteurizes it where salmonella and all bacteria are no longer a concern. I prefer cooking mine to 150° for 2 hours when I do sous vide, works incredibly well and it’s very juicy and tender.

    One of the benefits of sous vide is being able to cook at a lower temp for longer. I sous vide chicken all the time, 140-150 for 2 hours. Comes out super juicy and has a different texture. Not stringy at all, instead it’s soft but solid.

    The sous vide chicken had that texture because of the temperature and time you used. Kenji has a great guide on the differences a few degrees can make when SVing chicken, worth checking out.

    The easiest and most foolproof way to cook a chicken breast is to put thawed breasts in a cold oven set at 450 degrees for 25 - 30 minutes. There's a little variation depending on your oven and average size of the breasts you get, but it's pretty easy to dial it in to perfect. - Try pounding out a breast to about 3/8 - 1/2 inch thick, cover with pizza toppings, in a cold oven at 450 for about 15-18 minutes. It's easy to over cook thin chicken, so you need a torch to get any browning on the toppings - but, even without a torch, it's still a pizza with a chicken breast crust ...

    You can discount sous vide in a rice cooker. Heat water to the temp you want, pour into rice cooker set to warm, place bagged sous vide item in rice cooker and close. Might have to be a bit more diligent with food safety and do some research on what you're cooking, but saves you from buying a uni-tasker when a rice cooker can do almost anything.

    Ik you guys said this is boring episode . But I haven’t eaten meat in over 5 years, I pack my boyfriends dinner every day for him. I like to make him chicken breast bc it’s his favorite but all I can go off is my vague memory from when I was kid of my moms cooking and a variety of contradictory recipes. This episode is honestly so important and helpful to me and likely most other young adults too. So thank you 🤍

    Bone in, skin on is better, but as it’s harder to find I just say roast a whole chicken! Ik its a lot of upfront hassle but then you have leftovers for loads of different lazy meals. And you can make great stock/bone broth!
    (Tip: use leftover brown meat for hot dishes and leftover white meat cold so it doesn’t dry out.)
    I find French roasting the best because the steam gives you lovely moist white meat, but I would love an episode of myth busters that focuses on roasting chicken!

  • @fredrickwheeler6852

    I've never seen bone-in skin-on chicken breasts at a grocery store, so i"m not surprised if they're more expensive. However, the idea that bone-in skin-on chicken thighs are the cheaper option compared to boneless skinless, yet the breast is economically inversed when it should be less effort to prepare and sell, really raises some interesting points about how the consumer market works.
    I know if I went to my local store and asked for breast with the bone in and askin on they wouldn't be able to provide it at all because it comes in pre-packaged already. I'd have to buy a whole chicken and break it down myself just for 2 breasts (though that's probably the better option anyways)

    To quote my late grandfather, "I don't give a damn about chicken." Which means he skipped a meal every Sunday when grandma made a roasted chicken after church. When grandma called outside, my dad and uncles(as boys) went inside and ate, but grandpa vocalized that quote every week about his lack of interest in chicken and kept working in the garage. There were about 52 times per year for a couple of decades, and grandpa always said he didn't care for chicken.

    The key to juicy chicken breasts is pan sear on each side then turn the stove down to low, cover the chicken and just let those puppies slow cook. You don't need to mess with heating up the oven just to finish the chicken, it's not necessary. Also, you don't need any fancy tenderizers or plastic wrap. Just stab the chicken with a fork 20-25 times per side and you're golden.

    A bread making one...(maybe Trevor could host). Like if putting in extra yeast will make it rise faster. Or the amount of whole wheat flour you can add to a non-whole wheat recipe. (Generally they say half and half. I've done 100% for a lot of recipes and felt like it was only slightly more dense. But I also mill my own wheat and my (second hand) mill is stuck on the fine setting...or it could be because I like to use white soft wheat.) Which you could also test types of wheat... They generally say to use red hard wheat for bread, something about the gluten content I think. But it's also very hearty. And maybe method of kneading the dough... I like to use a bread maker for solely the dough setting. (Way more hands off than a mixer, and I don't have to worry about finding a warm spot in my kitchen).
