      I hear you loud & clear!!! I have a number of Latina friends who have cooking channels. Two of them are busy moms & definitely “home cooks”, & have very popular cooking channels.
      One of them just released her first cookbook! These 2 ladies seriously swear by using bouillon. They make all their sauces from scratch; & then there’s the bouillon! I used to use it as well for a number of years, until I discovered that it was the main culprit in triggering a health issue. Frankly, I miss the enhancement it gave to many different dishes. I wish there was a bouillon available that was made from cleaner ingredients. Does anyone know of one? I used to also use miso, but had to cut that out too.

    Stock cube stuff aside, watching Marco’s videos has made me a much better home cook. He has so many useful tips that can actually be applied by an amateur. For example I used to just quickly brown ground beef than drain it; after watching MPW I cook it for a good 15 mins until all the water evaporates and it starts to fry. The difference is crazy.

He said chicken should be only cooked with a white wine. My wife and family would disagree with him. I also use brandy on occasion. Half a cup, half cup water into the pan for basting and use what's left to make the gravy.

    I used to work in a kitchen that served Prime Rib. When we made it we would broil it to sear it and then let it rest and dry it. Then we would poke holes in it and shove pieces of garlic clove into the holes and cover it with beef base. Then we would cook it until the outside was seared again and would let it rest and slice it and then cook it to order. That was the best Prime Rib I've ever had.

  • @SamBrickell
    @SamBrickell Рік тому +16

    I like doing this. Just FYI for anyone considering using this as a dry-brine. The best way to make sure that you know how much salt you are adding (which is important for brining) is to calculate how much salt you will need. Then look at the nutrition label on your salt container and calculate how much sodium that will be. And then look at the amount of sodium in your bouillon and do the math to figure out how many grams of bouillon to use.
    (So if you have 200 grams of food and want 2% of salt, check the amount of sodium in 4 grams of salt. And then use however many grams of bouillon equals that amount of sodium.)
    Actually I guess it's worth just memorizing that salt is 40% sodium. So take the salt % you want, multiply by .40. And then use however much bouillon you need to equal that amount of total sodium.

    I have a specialty item I make sometimes, I have never seen anyone else make it and I would love for you to give it a try! I call it ultimate "baked in" chili dawgs. It's a chili dog baked into a brioche bun . First I make a brioche dough, and I make sure to let it rise twice for extra fluffy buns. Then to prep, I take some extra thick chili and pipe it on to wax paper in the shape of a hot dog, then freeze it. Second, I get a bun length all-beef Frank and butterfly it open so I can fry the flat side getting a good sear on it! Third, I roll out some dough a little more than twice as wide as the butterfly'd hot dog. Place a small strip of American cheese, followed by the hot dog with the flat side up, then some mustard and a stick of frozen chili, sprinkle a good amount of dehydrated onion flakes and a fat pinch of pepper jack cheese. Lastly, I fold the dough up and around over everything sealing it very well and bake at 325 for about 13 minutes, or until golden brown. If you sealed everything up good you get a fully contained chili dog grown in the bun naturally

    I use Better Than Bouillon when I'm braising meats. Most notably, if the recipe calls for tomato paste I mix in some with the tomato paste. I find it takes away the tin can flavor AND punches up the meaty/umami flavors.
    Dry brining a steak, I use a bouillon cube and seaweed powder. That's if I'm out of Uncle Rogers favorite MSG.

      It works great on roast potatoes too, make it up with a small amount of water, maybe 100mls or so, and put it over the potatoes and, as they roast baste occasionally. Fantastic roast potatoes and good for anyone who has to watch their fat/oil intake but still want tasty food (my dad had liver damage in his old age and missed roast potatoes. He loved them and it made me happy to see him enjoy something ☺️

    Buy a nice tri-tip on sale... Then you can use butter, avacado oil or a fine olive oil; I prefer clearfield butter... With better than bullion mixed in( desired salt and taste required some adjusting)
    Coat the tri-tip and cook it low and slow in your oven, basting often with the fat-bullion mix.. To desired temp! (You be you my friends)

      Pasta water to the sauce? If its Marco, its OK. His mother was Italian. And watching him and other Italian chef's it's only sauces where oil, cheese, butter, and egg-based sauces are emulsified, and the addition of the starchy pasta water from cooking bronze-cut pasta stops the sauce breaking and keeps it creamy. It's like a very liquid roux.

I've used it dry to just season pan-fried steaks but it's better with the oil paste , as that draws it into the meat and stays there.

    In my kitchen are three large containers of Knorr Beef, Chicken, and Tomato Bouillion powder. I use them all the time in different ways. The beef is the main salt component of my competition brisket rub. They are amazing to have for one pot cooking where you are just making the recipe up as you go. When you taste it and think, it's good, but missing something, sprinkle in some bouillion powder and it is almost always an improvement.

    We'd buy big plastic containers of Knor stock paste in a kitchen i worked in. We never rubbed it on steak, and we never used it for the restaurant food. Just for the bar menu. Anyway, the professional grade knorr is different and better than the stock in the stores. Marco only did this after he got a sponsorship from Knorr. A properly cooked steak with a good searing for flavour is perfectly good.
