It counts as an ingredient, not a whole dish. Beside, this is home cooking, not at his restaurants. Although I bet not everything in his restaurants are made in-house. It's not practical and economically doesn't make sense.
I did this recipe last night and can certainly recommend it to anyone. Instead of cake I used a biscuit mixture like from cheesecake but with Choc biscuits and then I used Maple syrup and walnut ice cream for the centre. Next time perhaps I will use ginger biscuits and chocolate ice cream. So many possibilities with this recipe.
Travis Rettke They're not exactly expensive niche culinary kit like souis-vide machines. Many sauces for deserts are basically "blowtorch this type of sugar and add _____", and while most of the time you can use a saucepan, blowtorches do it faster. Plus it's more dramatic when serving desert to SET FIRE TO SOMETHING before giving guests a sugar rush. Pocket blowtorches that are about the size of two shot glasses are cheap and fit in a cutlery drawer. They're also handy when you can't find matches to light candles for tealights under fondue. "Press button get fire", who doesn't need that in a kitchen?
No thats the point of the meringue...it insulates the ice cream....you put in just long enough to brown the meringue...doesn't take long under the broiler...minute to minute and a half at the most
If you're not serving this to kids then just light some brandy on fire and pour it over the top. As the alcohol burns away, the meringue will get baked.
"I'm going to have this one non-alcoholic because we've already got our Bailey's ice cream." Imagine not wanting to double down on your booze. And he calls himself a Scotsman.
Having made 4 of these at the same time when I made the recipe I can confirm that freezing works wonderfully. I have two in my freezer any time I want baked alaska right now. Just make sure you don't blowtorch em if you are gonna freeze them.
i want to try to make this for an upcoming christmas party, and i was wondering what type of nonalcoholic ice cream would you prefer for your baked alaska? i've never tried meringue or a baked alaska, so i don't know if it matters or not
For those of you who think you need an industrial blowtorch, one trip to Amazon and you can find a Kitchen Blowtorch easily. It's used a lot of different pastry recipes and is good for glazing sugar.
You can use any blowtorch. Many restaurants use regular old auto-garage-issue, hardware store propane torches. I prefer butane though. Just make sure to keep a good distance from the merengue and work your way closer until you find the sweet spot.
“Why stress making your own cake?” (Pulls our homemade ice cream from freezer)
Why stress two things. Just stress one
if alaska ever legalises, the headlines better read "baked alaska"
I support this comment
+Gary
They legalized last year. Didn't see the headline though.
matanuska high i'm so sorry that I made an offhand joke about Alaskan weed without researching your history first
Yeahhhhhh, we're waiting for the rest of you all....
Did the headlines read "baked Alaska"?
I have no interest in recreating this dish. I just like watching Gordon make things
Saaaame
like wise
haha im just surfing through every Gordon Ramsay video i can find because i love to watch him cook lol..
+Jake Krynock (rioPLAYBOY) Just letting you know that "likewise" is one word.
Anonymous lol ze must be americans
Just came in to say: beautiful thumbnail.
Right!!! I couldn't even identify wtf it was
😂😂😂😂
It's amazing to see so many people surprised by the existence of a kitchen blowtorch, lol.
He don't even need fucking thermometer, what a professional skill.
1:10 he drops the lemon.
Everyone! Gordon Ramsay dropped his lemon!!!
he said so
😂😂😂😂
@@PoorDummIdiots YOU SLY RASKAL
He tossed it to his other hand which was out of the shot, smh
Fumble on the play.
"why stress?" go to a restaurant and get one.
I don't think I've ever seen it listed on a menu
@@kalevala29 That's because you're a lizard
lmao what now?
@@kalevala29 you would usual request it in advance.
05:32 "and the smell..." first time I've heard his Scottish accent shine through.
John Bush English. not Scottish
Kevin Pippin he's Scottish..
Kevin Pippin he hates being called English
My god I thought he was south african
Where's his scottish accent?
holy fuck he cooked the whole state?
Nobody:
Cameraman: *showing off electron microscopy, zooms in at molecular level*
*gasp* gordon ramsay buying something fully made, not making it himself? O_O
Many chef use canned chopped tomato.

looks like people cant joke on the internet
I know,its shocking.
It's cold in the middle and crispy outside! It was fucking frozen! FUCK ME!
YOOOOO YOBA! This is content dude.

I never get tired of watching Gordon cook. Thanks so much!!
you can see he is literally jumpin around and so excited about making food. you can see he really loves what he does.
"Just get out your blowtorch" WHO HAS A BLOWTORCH FOR COOKING?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Hi.
I make creme brûlée a lot, so I have one.

"Press button get fire", who doesn't need that in a kitchen?
Travis Rettke its used for crème brûlée and caramelizing fruits
Travis Rettke Plenty of peeps....they're not expensive... But I've also heard about these being flambete with strong liqour.
"I want it looking a bit sort of rough and sort of you know...wrinkled...a bit like me really." gotta love how he roasts himself
The cameraman has no chill
I love this man, he only wants people to succeed at learning to cook!
Legend has it that Colombia's cocaine supply is still recovering from this run of videos. Gordon was on more blow than Scarface's wife.
So glad I stumbled upon this been running out of ideas what I can use my blowtorch on since I've been furloughed from my job as a felt roofer
so a baked alaska is a fancy ice cream sandwich i never knew
Jon should have watched this before attempting his Alaska.
Leon why?
Jon (aka ManyATrueNerd) made a baked alaska for a subscriber video, but he pretty much guesstimated everything.
Leon Ahh, i thought you were talking about Chef John (from FoodWishes). I was confused because Chef John is legit.
It was a very vague reference being made. I'll have to look into whoever Chef John is.
Leon Chef John (from FoodWishes) baked alaska was better
He's so relaxed and chill in these videos, they're more entertaining than his actual shows
That looks delicious. I love the ending when he looks through the baked Alaska and says Merry Christmas and everyone laughs in the backround :)
WHY BAKE ALASKA?!!! WE'RE PEOPLE TOO, YOU KNOW!!!
Nonononono he got it wrong. Colorado is baked, not Alaska.
flapplewapple lmao
F u Alaska. You’re getting baked...
wakaka2waka Yeah it's wrong to Bake Alaska , just Sarah Palin !
Y O B A N E V E R D I E S
just made this.. turned out brilliantly!
Worth while every time, thanks Gordan
“Wrinkled, a bit like me really” hahahahh
Gordon: Now, get ya blow torch ou'
Me: blow torch? What blow torch?
If you don't have a blow torch you can also brown it in the oven on the broiler setting
No thats the point of the meringue...it insulates the ice cream....you put in just long enough to brown the meringue...doesn't take long under the broiler...minute to minute and a half at the most
If you're not serving this to kids then just light some brandy on fire and pour it over the top. As the alcohol burns away, the meringue will get baked.
Gordon Ramsey is actually a good culinary instructor. He hits on all the crucial points.
its pretty amazing how gordon is a master at all of this!
He want it wrinkled like him!? That may take a bit of extra effort.
Gordon hasnt really aged these last 10 years, has he?
He had botox
This guy is seriously incredible, would love to cook like him one day
Captivating
That casual laugh at the end.
A proper artist.
What a lovely descriptive thumbnail!
JUST MADE THIS AT HOME, LOVE IT.
that was fantastic gordon
Algo sencillo de preparar, vistoso de presentar y sobre todo rico.
I love watching him cook like this, not yelling at other chefs, not making poor adults cry, just cooking.
Şefim , işinize duyduğunuz sevgi ve saygı takdire şayan.
Never seen anyone make a successful baked Alaska so came to see the best in action
"Right, pint down, coke up" 😂
awww Fetus Ramsay
u r absolutely adorable!!!gr8 recipes..
I could watch Gordon for hours. You just trust everything he says.
I have a butane torch in my kitchen, but I would never have thought to use it on meringue. More genius from Chef Ramsay! :-)
Absolutely yummy!
I love gordon so much.
"I'm going to have this one non-alcoholic because we've already got our Bailey's ice cream."
Imagine not wanting to double down on your booze. And he calls himself a Scotsman.
brilliant.
Holy fucking balls never saw him this calm....
absolutely delicious.
Loved him back then when he was all about just cooking
"wrinkled. a bit like me really" XP
God i love him
The intro was like an unsolved case of murder in a documentary
can you keep in freezer once the meringue is set? how long?
Filmed with a damn sniper rifle
When I had one of these at a restaurant, the guy poured some kind of wine in a cup, then set the wine on fire and poured it all over the Baked Alaska.
He was a deranged lunatic and he was trying to kill you
It was Cognac
Having made 4 of these at the same time when I made the recipe I can confirm that freezing works wonderfully. I have two in my freezer any time I want baked alaska right now. Just make sure you don't blowtorch em if you are gonna freeze them.
Hi, how long do they take to defrost?
Ramsey you REALLY ARE smooth ;D
the only celeb I truly love
you can tell he is extremely passionate about cooking..
:)
Gordon has only two modes: terrifying beyond human comprehension, and so cute you wanna pinch his cheeks (as seen here). No in-between.
the thumbnail perfectly represents gordon’s style of cooking
rum and raisin?..... Grandad's favorite treat XD
He is such a cute uncle.
6:05 Gordon Ramsay illuminati confirmed?
Merry Antichristmas!
Chef U R Awesome.
the abonoble snowman
back in a time the camera man was quite chilled!
he just casually keeps a blowtorch in his kitchen drawer well hes set for robbers
Hells yeah.
Gonna' make some of these for my birthday. :)
I LOVED BAKED ALASKA'S
I would love to be at his for christmas, you would get stuffed with loads of good food and taste flavours you have never even thought of trying.
the ending is so cute :3
i want to try to make this for an upcoming christmas party, and i was wondering what type of nonalcoholic ice cream would you prefer for your baked alaska?
i've never tried meringue or a baked alaska, so i don't know if it matters or not
Winner, winner. Front line winner!
'now finish it with a blowtorch' LOL
He hopped a little on excitement just before he cut it.
HAHAHHAHA! "merry christmas!" loooooool
"Three egg whites..... IN....to the bowl"
Even though I have not met him, Gordon Ramsey is such a nice guy. This Hell's Kitchen thing he does is all just for show, all done for a TV Show.
"and then, just finish it with a blow torch." yeah gordon, cuz ive got those just layin around the kitchen
+Roger Ho I doubt many people (in terms of percentage) have a blow torch in their kitchen.
+FratNightGaming No but many have them in their garage
+FratNightGaming I do.
+FratNightGaming Well mine's layin in the garage, but I mean, the door is RIGHT THERE...
+FratNightGaming You need to get out more. They're not that hard to get.
his kids must be sooooo lucky
Gordon Ramsay is really intense
That fucking sniper camera guy is back
he,s the best

wheres my rig at?

“how the fuck did you burn? how the fuck did you burn... ice cream?" I keep singing John legend s version lol
He's always jumping. 😂😂😂
Blowtorch is one of the best things I've bought for my kitchen. Well worth it.
