Glad you liked the video! I'll process it for a bit longer next time. Again, what a great recipe. Thanks for coming up with this and sharing with everyone!
I made the dogs last night and they have such a great flavor, thank you for the recipe!! I wasn't able to get it processed to be as smooth and sticky/stretchy as in your photos though...It looked porous and gluten strands made it easily separate/fall apart when stretching the dough. I used my Cuisine Art food processor and kept adding another minute on, but it never got there, could it maybe be some ratio of liquid off in my ingredients?
A time saver for carrot dogs is to boil them IN the marinade so you don’t have to blanch then marinate. Carrot dogs are definitely a different thing altogether but they are a great chili delivery system for those of us who like to eat a lot.
Here’s a tip on getting a really smooth wrap when wrapping vegan hotdogs or sausages. Use pop up foil and double wrap. Pop-up foil is used in the restaurant industry usually for wrapping baked potatoes before baking. It’s thin so it’s easy to work with. But you will need to double wrap for structure and support. And the best part is there’s no cutting foil. They’re already pre-cut for you.
Love this format! It really helps to see the recipes made, without me having to invest the ingredient cost, time and even "new recipe anxiety" to try them out. It is great to see the process and the final product. Thank you for doing this for us!
I love how different each of these are! Personally, I like more of a sausage style dog, so the Mary’s Test Kitchen recipe was my favorite. If you prefer more of a traditional “ballpark” dog the Gentle Chef one is for you. It has a nice flavor and pairs well with classic toppings like ketchup and mustard. If you just want all the yummy toppings then go with a carrot dog and eat 3 of them! The marinade in this recipe is one of the best I’ve had.
i'm sold on the Gentle Chef hotdog..i've made 2 batches,2nd batch played with the spice mix a little..added more paprika,,liquid smoke..little clove..great recipe!
I have made it twice now too! This recipe is fantastic. I also added a bit more liquid smoke and used powdered beets for the color instead of food coloring and it turned out fine. Not very pink, but totally fine with that.
Hey guys best to just leave out the beet powder or beets. The pigment won’t withstand the cooking process and it’s just going to make the franks brown. If anything add more paprika which will make them orange instead of pink.
Glad you liked the format! I'll do more of them is people like it. And yeah thanks, for whatever reason, I needed to overcome the barrier of using it. I think it was because I used to have an old one I got for cheap that would start to smell like burning rubber if I made it do anything too hard haha.
I recommend you wrap these in parchment paper, then in foil. You'll get a much tighter wrap when you twist the ends and the foil will reinforce that it'll look like a commercial hot dog if you do.
I never could stand carrot dogs. To me they always tasted like "carrot" dogs. The third recipe looks the best and I will be posting a comment after I try that one, hopefully within the next day or two.
Well Done Mr Mister !!) I'm going to tey the last recipei think.. but also add some.shredded tofu skins for texture.. maybe even wrap it in a skin a try that. Love the show. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊 👌
@@BoldFlavorVegan 😘👌 probly FAB.... I neeever get responses from my comments unless I go back into the same video.. but yeah. I'll try the rice paper tip also... Thanks ✌️
Thank you for your explanations. I believe I understand what I did wrong. I made the ham and chicken, used a different recipe, but I did the broth on boil and the meats ended up doughy like bread. You explained this so next time I will make sure I simmer. What is best time length to simmer?
@@BoldFlavorVegan Well I'd love to except I made the wrong recipe I had two tabs open and made the "other" one before I notice it wasn't the Gentle Chef. I make The Cheeky Chick Pea recipe which was different, they marinaded overnight. I liked this recipe a lot, it developed a nice skin on the dogs, giving them that snap. The flavor was good but a little bland for my taste, I'd spice it up and add some of the flavors from 86eats to it. Overall I like 86eats flavor better, but the skin/texture of these was more what I expected. My friends were 50/50 on the dogs 86eats/cheekychickpea each liking them in different ways. So this week I'll do Gentle Chef. Yes I'll check what site I'm on first
I have two Gentle Chef cookbooks...Non Dairy Evolution = best vegan butter recipe ever and a comprehensive cheese tutorial/instruction section. I don't doubt his hotdogs will be wonderful.. can't wait to try th
You should try them for sure! As I mention, as long as you have a food processor and pressure cooker, they are pretty easy. There is a ton more detail in his recipe as I left out the key instructions. Let me know what you think.
Haha, I'll have to organize it before I do as it is an absolutely disaster. I somehow know where everything is, but it looks like a bomb went off on that shelf.
Do you have a link for the mushroom seasoning you use? I've been searching for something that's actually mostly mushrooms with minimal other ingredients. I don't mind other ingredients but the main ingredient must be mushrooms.
Yeah - I've been using this and it is pretty good. I put it in all sorts of stuff. Just made a stock with it yesterday while filming actually: amzn.to/3BBSBP9
I just used the instructions in his recipe. Maybe try and match the PSI for when the InstantPot is pressured to normal? I've never used an old school one unfortunately.
Thanks for this but the Gentle Chef’s recipe for the great looking frank is no longer on his website. Wants us to buy the cookbook I guess but I cannot do that. That’s too bad because it looks really good. Maybe I can find it somewhere else. Actually, I think he is out of business because I can’t even subscribe or log in. Can you please post the recipe?
Nice video! I've made the carrot dogs before and actually thought they tasted pretty close to the animal based ones. The only problem with them was that the marinade only made it to the outside ring and the rest tasted like carrot
@@BoldFlavorVegan I tried that as well, but it didn't make too much of a difference. I'm gonna definitely try the 3rd hot dog recipe though, the lightlife ones really don't taste like hot dogs at all
@@BoldFlavorVegan I'll have to get with you on that one, I've tried a few but none really turn out right. Think I'm maybe mishandling the konjac somehow.
Thank you for testing my recipe! The dough needs to be processed just a little bit longer. Nice and smooth. But otherwise great job!

Whaaaat - this is an X-Games level hack right here.
Niiiice!!! Thanks for all the kind words 🤗 looking forward to trying the Gentle Chef's dog now too!
Thanks for making the awesome recipe! It was my wife's fave out of the three :)
Yes, amazing!

Love the format. You convinced me to make the Gentle Chef's Vegan Franks. Keep up the great work. You're running my favorite vegan recipe channel!
Thanks so much! I'm working on another with the same format right now!
I use parchment paper inside of the foil. Prevents alot of problems.
i'm sold on the Gentle Chef hotdog..i've made 2 batches,2nd batch played with the spice mix a little..added more paprika,,liquid smoke..little clove..great recipe!
Oh nice! Yeah, it really is a special recipe one for sure.

@@lovelemons4125 what i did too..powdered beets..next batch was thinking adding some tomato paste or dehydrated tomato?

Great format! Can't wait to see more.
Glad to see you coming around to the idea of using your food processor to work seitan dough :)

Have never understood the carrot dog 😶😶😑😑
Someone posted this on the FB seitan society's page! Loving this concept!!
My time is very limited and this is perfect!

No problem. What recipe are you asking for the simmer info for?
You forgot the liquid smoke in the first 2 recipes!!! The liquid smoke is what makes it taste like hot dogs!!!
Very interesting format! I'd love to see more comparisons 😁
Thanks so much! I'm working on another right now :)
I'm making The Gentle Chef ones this weekend. My favorites right now are 86Eats veggie dogs. You should check those out, great texture and flavor
Debbie, I'd love to hear your comparison between 86eats' and The Gentle Chef's hot dogs.
Yes, me too!
@@BoldFlavorVegan Well I'd love to except I made the wrong recipe I had two tabs open and made the "other" one before I notice it wasn't the Gentle Chef.

Love Mary's Test kitchen hot dogs. Easy to make! We love these.
i love this format
Thanks!!
Loved the video! I need to try that Gentle Chef recipe!
Thanks Gene! Glad you liked the new format. And yes, that Gentle Chef recipe lives up to the hype I was seeing online.
Lovely! Should try one before summer is over. Btw, where in the US are you living?
Do it! I'm near Portland, OR.
I love doing the carrot dog but different seasoning.
Thanks a lot for the video ! I love this kind of test !
Awesome, really glad you liked it. I hope it is helpful to those trying to select a summer dawg recipe :)
Tip: When I use hi gluten flour in my food processor I spray the processor beforehand with cookspray and it makes it easier to clean. Jeannine
Great tip!

You know, I have NDE and I've never really dug in. Been more into plant based meats the past 5~ years, I'll have to crack that back open :)
This was a fun video. I've been wanting to make the Gentle Chef's franks. Now, I surely will.
Just found you it’s all very interesting, I’ve got Skye’s books and made many of the recipes ❤
Glad you found the channel!
I’ve been keeping up with Gentle Chef hot dogs on Facebook, but I have not yet seen them made in video form. I want to try them!
You should try them for sure! As I mention, as long as you have a food processor and pressure cooker, they are pretty easy. There is a ton more detail in his recipe as I left out the key instructions. Let me know what you think.
Try them!!! We have tried every vegan hot dog commercially available and these blow them all away from a taste/texture/price standpoint.
Awesome! They look great! Maybe show us your seasoning "house library" someday ahah
Haha, I'll have to organize it before I do as it is an absolutely disaster. I somehow know where everything is, but it looks like a bomb went off on that shelf.

@@BoldFlavorVegan thank you
Try Connie's Rawsome Kitchen pineapple summer sausages/ hotdogs. Plus she has many other sausage/hotdog recipes.
I'll check it out. Thanks!
How long do you cook the Gentle Chef dogs and at what psi? I have an old school pressure cooker with the gauge.
I just used the instructions in his recipe. Maybe try and match the PSI for when the InstantPot is pressured to normal? I've never used an old school one unfortunately.
@@BoldFlavorVegan Cool thanks! I think instapots only go up to 10 psi.
If he's using the new improved recipe from the Gentle Chef website there is an option for conventional steaming.
Thanks for this but the Gentle Chef’s recipe for the great looking frank is no longer on his website. Wants us to buy the cookbook I guess but I cannot do that. That’s too bad because it looks really good. Maybe I can find it somewhere else. Actually, I think he is out of business because I can’t even subscribe or log in. Can you please post the recipe?
Please next time make the 86eats hot dogs, they are superb, in my opinion is goes one on one with the gentle chef.
Nice video! I've made the carrot dogs before and actually thought they tasted pretty close to the animal based ones. The only problem with them was that the marinade only made it to the outside ring and the rest tasted like carrot
I wonder if poking with a fork pre-boil would allow the marinade to get deeper into the carrot.
@@BoldFlavorVegan I tried that as well, but it didn't make too much of a difference. I'm gonna definitely try the 3rd hot dog recipe though, the lightlife ones really don't taste like hot dogs at all
@@RogueAstro85 Yeah - I'm not a big fan of those Lightlife ones either haha
I love sauce stache's version!!
Great video, Bold Flavor Vegan! We featured your video this week on my website in our "Concessions" area! Link is in my bio!
THIS IS GREAT ! CAN YOU MAKE VEGAN KIELBASA ? 😅❤
With the right seasonings, probably!
I didn't understand what's the main ingredient?!
Have you tried any of The Gentle Chef's seafood recipes?
No I haven't. Absolutely on my list to do though.
@@BoldFlavorVegan I'll have to get with you on that one, I've tried a few but none really turn out right. Think I'm maybe mishandling the konjac somehow.
Where’s the recipe
Content idea: make a vegan frozen foods tier list. Or u "but better" vegan frozen food. Lol just careful cuz weissman has a trademark on but better
This is a really cool idea. I’ll save this for when an exciting product comes out. Hope you’re well, bro!
Thanks for comparing but most use too many ingredients. I've tried a few carrot dog recipes and not impressed at all.
I gagged when I saw the ketchup. 1:58
that is one huge ass onion lol
Maybe I should keep it a running gag to always have a comically large onion haha.
