    Master butcher here, processing rinds (skin) dulls your edge very quickly, when it gets harder to seam between rind and meat rehone your edge with a steel. Most larger organs have that membrane including us, it's how the body keeps our bits separate and protected from their neighbors. The paper towel trick you used with the rind works well with organs too. Well done for doing something most would never try to do, side tip, next time you make some pork bone broth or stock use a trotter or two, the flavor and sheer amount of collagen take it up a notch.

      I'll take that advice. But though I was trained with using a steel, these days diamond stones are much more preferable. A single grit diamond stone can keep your knife shaving sharp with minimal effort, whereas with a steel you're just cutting with the burr.

    So ex chef's opinion here and i'm not claiming to be a Marco-level, but the reason it called for chicken legs is because restaurants used to mostly order in whole chickens (which usually came without the feet). The breasts were cut into supremes and the legs weren't really used that much in recipes but instead used to create a fond as the basis for a pan sauce and/or to make stock. In this type of application chicken feet are actually a better option.

    The thing you’re blitzing with cream is mousseline, and you normally cook off a drop to taste for seasoning.
    When you wrap the pigs feet, use cling film instead as you can get the roll tighter and have a better end product.

    Just a little tip for straining liquids through cheese cloth. Instead of straining multiple times through a single sheet of cheese cloth, try folding it so there are 4 layers of cheese cloth.
    Passing it through 1 layer of cheese cloth multiple times wont strain out much more than doing it one time, but straining it through multiple layers at the same time will.

    Hey Jamie! Just a tip about the sweetbreads. Soaking them in water is fine, but I was always taught to marinate them in buttermilk. It's more acidic, so it'll break down the connective tissue a bit more, and it'll also impart a nice flavor. But you did great regardless! Love to see it.

    • @TheJillers
      @TheJillers 7 місяців тому +15

      I think the flavor thing is the one to keep in mind - you may not want your sweetbreads to have that buttermilk flavor for certain dishes. Water is a neutral flavor! But once you're familiar with sweetbreads and whatever recipes you're making with it you'll know if buttermilk will help the flavor or not

    This looks like a cookbook designed for reading and not for cooking, particularly with all the omissions. Though the omissions would be historically accurate - many early cookbooks from the 1800s omit lots of details so that chefs could still corner the fancy food market

      The reason old cook books don't have a lot of details is because they assumed the people reading it knew how to cook things. It has nothing to do with chefs cornering the market.

      ​@@nihlify depends on the age probably. In really old gardening books the gardeners did not only take away steps they even lied about how things where done atleast where I am in sweden, to protect their work. For example dipping a cutting from a green apple tree in blood to get an apple tree that grows red apples 😅 So I dont think its imposssible that chefs have done similar.

    Potentially helpful tips
    1: a saftey lighter doesn't require you to use your thumb
    2: its much easier to cut through pig feet if you have a very thin serrated knife

    This is my dream dish hehe! Since Pierre Koffman retired, I dont think its available anywhere? However, they do have stuffed piggs trotter in a couple of places here in Paris and they are great

    19:44 I'll tell you right now. The winery lost a batch of sherry and instead of running it through the pan again they just let it turn into vinegar. Very smart. Running the pan is crazy expensive.
