My mom has the best technique for not crying when cutting onions. She gets me to cut them for her.

Bay leaves just add that "homemade by grandma" taste to things. It's not a huge flavor you'll notice but if you've ever had something and thought "this isn't as good as my grandma's" it probably needed some bay leaves.
make a quick bayleaf tea and try that (dried leaves, hot water, 2 minutes). you will instantly realize what flavor it adds to dishes.
It is proved to make legumes and beans " more digestible"
Also it does add a lot of aroma just like any herb, like why do we add thyme and rosmary in things, it works with some foods better than with others, I love the taste of it in fish stew it would be impossible without it. :)
When making pasta, boil water with salt, a glove of garlic, and 1 or 2 Bay leaves.
Trust me, you'll notice the flavor and it's good.
@@soxpuffoooh, definitely trying this next time I cook!
Filipinos have used Basil in their Adobo dishes. It mostly plays a part in aromatics but also provides a hint of sweetness and a tiny bit of kick to the Adobo.

Best way to not cry when cutting onions is to not get emotionally attached to the onions.
Oh then I should stop making out with my onion
I should probably stop giving my onions names and singing them to sleep, then.
ahh I should make them cry then, reverse psychology

I hate onions
A remarkably charming presenter, and I really appreciate the fact that he's open about, and OK with, and can joke about not being a school-trained certified "expert". And, I do believe he's absolutely right about the eggs (to be prepared in your converted barn-retro kitchen, hah!).
My mother is food technician and she told me that eggs simply don't like changing temperature of storage. So when you keep it in fridge they almost all time have constans temperature, but if you keep them on kitchen table temperature is changing all day long few degrees up and down
I respect Andrew for not just talking about his own line of cookware and actually gives other options that he prefers.
I had the same question about bay leaves. It was explained to me this way: "You will not notice it's presence, but you will notice it's absence."
It enhances flavors and removes the stench of meat

The 2012 Sergio Busquets of ingredients
Bay leaves do have a pretty noticeable flavor, IMO. As an experiment try making chicken stock but with bay leaves as the only seasoning. You'll taste it for sure. It's nowhere near as mysterious and esoteric as people seem to think.
You can also make tea out of bay leaves to get a direct idea of the flavor it adds. It's actually really refreshing
1:21 The way he screamed "DON'T THEY GO BAD FASTER?!" was flawless. In general, this is just my favourite answer too.
I freaking lost it when he screamed it. I wasn't ready for the rage that he had obviously bottled up inside.

In some recipes there's a very good reason for using non-iodized salt (Kosher is non-iodized) other than for handling purposes. In cheese making, for example, the iodine has the possibility of killing off the cultures that are essential in the making of most varieties of cheese.
And for pickling. No anti-clumping agent added, which shows up in pickling liquid. It's very useful. Also, tastes good.
I believe Luke Skywalker would actually be a decent cook. Maybe not a total pro, but with his childhood growing up in a bit of a podunk-y area, I don’t think they’re eating out too often. I’m sure he was taught the basics, and is able to retain those skills and be able to season and cook food properly.
I think Lando is an excellent cook.
Obiwan was really good at the grill
Food is really scarce on Tattooine because of the climate. I think Luke would be a good cook, but mostly because he didn't get to try a lot of things. They probably lived off of rationed market-bought food.
He also spends at least a month training on Dagobah, and we saw the stew Yoda served him. If he didn't know how to cook already he probably learned real fast.
He doesn't HAVE to cook, and he's probably too lazy to cook. But the SW character that's the biggest foodie and would know his way around the kitchen is obviously Jabba.
He always brings up the fact that he didn't go to culinary school and credits a lot of his success to being lucky. So humble.
that's why I respect him the most

if you keep a candle while cutting onions. you won't get the tears.
That's my problem right there.
It’s always so sad. I counted the rings on my onion and it was only 13 years old. It had its whole life ahead of it still. 😞
The fact that you managed to drop a "Star Wars Christmas Special" reference in a Twitter cooking question video is thoroughly impressive.
Wrong character though. It was Chewy’s wife that was doing the cooking. Forget her name though.
@@mcgrimly4467 they did show him cooking in the sequel trilogy at least
I also think Obi-Wan would be a great cook
I just want to say: I love the sound of this guy's voice.
With the way he cooks, and expresses himself around food, I never would've guessed he didn't go to culinary school
That’s the plot twist. He is an actor acting as a cook. He went to film school so he is a very good actor. Case closed.

Never really considered mango that hard to cut. To me the hardest is probably a fully ripe tomato because unless your knife is razor sharp you will probably squash it.
I feel like it’s gotta be a pineapple or coconut, just because of the shell?
Durian maybe?
You try *cutting* a blueberry and not squash it
Why would you need to cut a blueberry tho
I think you’re cutting it wrong. First off, to cut a tomato, you’ll do better with a teethed knife, and second, when cutting you’ll get a better result by sliding downwards towards you rather than just pressing down against the chopping board. I’ve never squashed any vegetable, just need to become one with the knife and feel the vegetables.
Freeze the onion for like 15-20 before you cut it! Works so well and if you're quick enough(5-10 mins) it works everytime
as an asian, i beg to differ. mango is one of the easiest fruit to cut. its not the easiest since something like orange and lime exist. try cutting a durian, not only its bigger and full of spikes. the inside is not all 'fruit'. the edible parts are sort of in each room inside the fruit, around 5-7 each so you have to cut in a specific area to not ruin the edible parts inside.
My pet hate is pomegranate. It's a true drag. I ordered a box of them once and could not get through them. Extracting the seeds (there are UA-cam tutorials on this) takes for ever and uses a lot of dishes. Ended up giving them to my hens.
I came to say, "durians are harder to cut than mangoes by far" but knew in my heart it had already been said.
Also there's the smell you have to ignore while trying to convince yourself "it's gonna taste better than it smells"
@@thekoifishcoyote8762 i dont smell anything. white people joke? lol

Underrated part of the video is that the question in the thumbnail is the first question Babish answered.
For real though. Shout out to Wire for starting with that.
the fact that the date in the thumbnail is not the same in the video is triggering me
My god yes. You just don't see it, and it annoys me every time when they leave it to last to keep you hanging. Saw they put it first, enjoyed the rest of the video so much more as a result.
@@Pokabyss and my illusion has been shattered
It’s really classy that you guys put the thumbnail question at the beginning of the video. Really helps build trust in a big channel like this, that you aren’t clickbaiting your videos.

Some hard fruits also include jackfruit and pomegranites. Both are really annoying because the good bits are trapped in an almost mycelial membrane and you need to extract them.

For the onion cutting and crying, my husband taught me to keep some water inside my mouth while cutting. I never cried a tear ever since.

In regards to bay leaves..... another youtuber who does cooking asked himself the same question. "Why?" He decided to experiment and cook something mild both with and without the bay leaves. He made white rice with and without a bay leaf added and served them to his roommate. His roommate consistently said the one with the bay leaves tasted better. They're subtle for sure, but they do improve on dishes.
In my country bay leaves are translated into Daun Salam, and they give the aroma to the cooking. I've never bought the original, tempted to do one, but now I am not gonna
My only issue with bay leaves have been when they have been left in the dish. I have eaten several dishes and had an unpleasant experience when biting down on the little chunks that I assume were dried bay leaves.
I came to the comments section specifically to suggest that, my bf started cooking white rice with it and now I'm totally obsessed hahaha
also for what i know, dried mor maturated leaves taste better than fresh leaves

Andrew, bought a couple of your German steel knives and I love them. The look and feel is amazing, so much more expensive than what they actually are. There is one caveat however… the ergonomics of the handle definitely need some improvement. After a while of chopping and dicing the hand just gets tired and numb, more so than other knives. Maybe look into this for future editions? Other than that they’re awesome. I’ve given a couple as gifts too.

You can chew them. They do have a very distinct taste.
Boris is typing...
get those dried and its a whole new level
"is there a harder fruit to cut?"
Hmm, imma go with durian. Its a big spiky wooden ball, full of sap stickier than tar. It murders knifes apparently.
Nah, its actually soft to cut through especially when its ripe.
just get the chopper (key: do the top), that's what we locals use to pry open the MF... then after just use the body weight to pry the "halfs" open...
it's pretty easy if you know how to... heck the chopper the locals use are old AF
kiwano
I think something like jackfruit is harder to cut. Durian can be split open perfectly by tracing the lines and split point on the bottom of the fruit. Ripe durian also does not really have sap iirc. Jackfruit have stickier sap and have to be split opened properly to get the flesh and pits contact.
Nah jackfruit is harder to cut, those sappy bitches how dare them making my knife sticky
Bay Leaves have a very strong flavor. If you want to see what they taste like, just make like a stew or something and put like 3 bay leaves. They have a sour/astringent/dry taste. they have notes that remind me of rosemary if youre wondering where to use em.
I agree. Store the onions in the refrigerator and they don’t make you cry when you go to cut them. I never have a problem with onions I’ve kept in the fridge.
"people don't keep eggs in their fridge", they would die if they visited a British supermarket

Bay leafs are the weirdest thing. You can't tell when they're there, but you can tell when they aren't.
Bay leaf reduces acidity. Make a tomato sauce without bay leaf, then halfway through cooking, separate some and put a bay leaf in the main dish. Taste them side by side, and I guarantee you the one without bay leaf is more acidic and harsh.
"or maybe two!"

@@pm146 They also add an amazing flavour. Try adding them to the water when you are re-hydrating dried beans on the stove, you can definitely taste them. I'd also recommend adding 3-4 fresh leaves to the stock when making a risotto, another area where their flavour really shines.
13:12 Fridgin them, or even freezin them, 100% helps a ton. I fridge onions after initial use and theyre always much less cry inducin after that.
Notably it may also be that precuttin the onion in half breaks up many of the cell walls alrdy and it gives off its tear gases while in the fridge.
for the onion part it also helps if you cut in a certain direction too. like babish said cutting the least amount of cell walls is good. cut with the grain lol
"Hardest fruit to cut? Mango."
*confused durian noises*
durians are actually pretty easy to open up
@@alverofathir durians are actually a fair bit softer than they look. You kinda just halve them the same way you do a watermelon.
@@heartdeyna5169 I think durians are easier to serve for eating than watermelons, but people are usually scared off because of the smell and looks
Or even, IDK, Pineapple?
Nah durian is easy. Just need to find the right spot (between fruit chamber), make shallow cut and just use your hand
it's just now hitting me that Babish doesn't chemically understand his food, it's basically just experience; I would assume.
That's how a lot of cooks are. When you get into real deal chefs that's when you get people with both a lot of experience and a chemical understanding. Sometimes they're trained professionally in food science and culinary school, other times they just kept working their way up in the kitchen and either just learned the chemistry over time naturally or intentionally learned it to improve.
He knows what he is doing. Do t listen to him..
@@mtbmadman187 huh?
he's said a few times that he didn't really go to school to cook he is mostly self taught.
Someone who understands food chemistry, and cooking physics/chemistry would be Alton Brown. If you can find his series Good Eats, or at least the books, he breaks down a lot of the processes and reactions in cooking to a lay person level, very informative.
So, here in Denmark during Christmas time when we are making a pork roast (flæskesteg) we put Bay Leaves inbetween the rinds and in the drip catcher.
That way it mixes with the water and fat and it makes the most AMAZING gravy.
That's pretty much the only time we use them here. I sometimes plop em into my Bolognese or stews, as Babish mentioned. But primarily pork roast.
Also, a tip I heard for cutting onions without crying is to cut the root/bottom last, cause apparently that's what causes it to release all its stuff. But I have no clue, I tried it a few times, and I didn't cry much, so maybe there something to it?

Babish: "Listen to me with various grains of salt"
Is that with grains of table salt, kosher salt, or finishing salt?
You get less grains with kosher and finishing salt, but bigger grains but with table salt you get more grains so i think table salt, but kosher salt Is a good happy medium. Medium grains between the two, medium salt :)
Various grains, so assumingly some of all of them.

“Snorts in Banana*”
I was making a Japanese style curry, which called for red cooking wine. After 4 different stores, all ending with failure, I marched into a liquor store and asked what to substitute for red cooking wine. The guy was incredibly helpful, as when I explained I was making curry, he said since it's something strong and flavorful and something that didn't interrupt those flavors would be best, so a cheap merlot, which he got for me. Worked fine and still had enough left over for a glass.
TL;DR you can replace cooking wine with actual wine if you know what you're doing
I have no idea what a cooking wine is. Just use whatever normal wine that compliments the dish your cooking.
There's cooking wine? That sounds like a mild scam. Like one of things you can use the normal product for. But some marketing has you convinced you need to use this specific version.
Bay leaves (dried) are really important in a lot of curries. For the aroma mainly though.
It felt so wholesome when he saw the Steven Universe was for him rather than a general question.
There's always one ^^ LoL!

You know they have mango corers now. Kinda like an apple one. Best Amazon purchase I ever made. Also cutting out the part that makes you cry first helps. I never shead a tear since.
The best money I ever spent on a knife was a $20 ceramic steak knife. 8 years on and there’s the tiniest of chips near the handle. Meanwhile it still slices through meat, chops through vegetables crisply, and even makes for a useful pizza knife.
Best melts cheese base for cooking is hands down provel, made to melt evenly and brown up nicely. Plus, if you put shredded cheese into the mix that don’t melt as easily you get nice pops of flavor was you bite into the yellow cheese.
As far as seasoning ribeye, I don’t. Chuck eye, on the other hand, with it’s beautiful marbling and lack of giant waste fat knuckle, is generally a more flavorful and juicy neatening experience. “Butcher’s Secret” was what I was told of Chuck eye my 2nd week working in a meat shop.

He's right about the eggs. I wish he had also added that once you DO put room temperature hen's eggs into the fridge, you must keep them there. As well, do not wash them if you plan on keeping them out.
Do wash them right before you use them though! You don't want to accidentally get chicken poo residue in your cooking.
I was always told to never wash eggs as that poses a greater risk of salmonella poisoning!
@@Pidove727 If you wash them days/ weeks before using them, yes! There's a thin protective barrier on an eggshell that will help keep it safe. If you wash that off, you need to keep the egg in the fridge & the risk is slightly increased. So the best thing is to not wash your eggs until right before you crack them.
You can also coat room temp eggs in olive oil to make them keep longer. Got almost a month out of one batch before they went bad.
The usual eggs I get here have two dates on them. One after which they're supposed to be in the fridge one one as expiry date. They're usually around 1 and 2 weeks after getting them in the store.
In regards to the onion question. Just keep the root on while cutting the onion and you will never have that problem again. Yes the root is often dirty but just pull the hairy part off or rinse it under water as needed.
Honing rod: place the tip on a stable surface, grip it firmly. The extensions below the handle are not there to keep your hands safe, they aid you to keep the perfect 'sharpening' angle. Lean the knife on the extension and the rod, and do what B does in this video. Clean the surface after, otherwise you get small fragments of steel in your food.

Bay leaves are laurels, they made wreaths out of them
lighting candles or turning on the stove can lessen tearing when cutting onions. The fumes are very volatile, so it will burn in the fire
Table salt, more often than not, has added anti-caking agents as well as being iodized, which salt experts say is unpleasant. Also because table salt is so extremely fine, it's therefor extremely salty. I know that sounds weird, but a pinch of table salt vs a pinch of kosher salt is huge difference.
Also, the best way to prevent crying when chopping onions is not forming an emotional bond with it.
It's all about surface area when it comes to saltiness, isn't it?
But onions have so much character development to them! They've got *layers!*
@@doctorsnakeeater1997 Yeah! Makes the consumption of the onions much tastier!
@@r10101 Correct. Surface area and chemical composition.
Not all salt is chemically uniform even among the edible salts. Fleur de Sel, the most expensive serving salt is a byproduct of common brine techniques employed since the middle ages and has a unique flavor due to its larger granularity and chemical composition.
Also IIRC the kosher salt's flaky shape reduce moisture absorption making it more practical in the humid restaurant kitchen

@@arielofri-akman7811 Nope. Andrew isnt non-binary. Please don't claim things without actual evidence.
@@arielofri-akman7811 no one cares

12:53 there is another solution. basically the stuff that makes you cry is vapor that get released as you cut the onion. so if you are going to cut onions, but them in the fridge beforehand so the vapor does not form as easily/fast.
My type of favorite scrambled eggs.
Use brown eggs (best eggs)
-Beat rigorously
(Optionally add a bit of milk)
-Slowly melt small pad of butter over medium/medium low heat
-Pour the eggs in
-Keep heat at medium
-Stir with a rubber spatula
-Break up the curds forming but not too small so they can't fit on your fork
-When your eggs do not have liquids left add a bit of kosher salt
-Turn the heat off
(optionally add cheese, diced peppers, cooked sausage and/or cooked bacon bits)
-Plate
(optionally add pepper, and/or red salsa)
-Enjoy!
I thought he was gonna start with a: “Hey, Vsauce, michael here...”
Think he will start the "BSauce" channel soon
I legit thought he was Vsauce before reading the title
Hey BSauce, Andrew here
He also kind of looks like Ryan Reynolds
This does not seem like the kind of guy who'd get bad grades in film school
Practice makes perfect
Well, grades are mostly just about evaluating how good you are at telling back at teachers what they told you.
How many people with great grades end up sucking at their job after all?
on the sharpening question, lanskey sharpeners are dope. basically using a wet stone one a guide rod
a restaurant near me does a BLT with fried chicken and some sort of sauce, maybe a mayo or a bechemel or something, and its *so* good. Got some big chunky sourdough on there, a whole bunch of crunch balanced out with the moisture of the tomatos and the sauce to balance it out, definitely one of my top sandwiches
His 2 oz of cheddar is equivalent to the "and two shots of vodka"
i heard your comment & i love that.
By weight or by size?
"Adding a little butter" -Marco Pierre White
1 oz is basically 1 shot
Add a little bit of red wine;
Glugs half of the bottle ..
Cannot believe he did not say "Take this with a few grains of Kosher salt."
it was set up PERFECTLY.
The question might not have come right before it originally, they coudl've edited it around for better flow in the video. But I agree!
it was eggstremely disappointing
S&P for the ribeye is absolutely all you need, I like to get some garlic butter going to baste with though
Also, drop the bloody Mary. Get you a ceasar
I saw the board in the background and I immediately got excited, because I saw BVB (Black Veil Brides) which is my favorite band but I connected the pieces and realized that's his acronym
Chewbacca has mad skills as a cook. He roasted a porg over a bonfire and got the skin crispy without burning.
that stew thing yoda made in empire strikes back tho
@@trippiebread5596 Also the soup that thanos makes

Bro this just seems like I'm invading his privacy by looking at his face
Lmao ikr 👉👈😳

@@DreamApostle128 if you really don't understand, Babish doesn't show his face often, and his videos are usually like the very beginning of this video, you only see his torso
I feel like I got to know him with sohla
I once heard that having a lit candle while cutting onions will help a lot, and I've done it ever since. It helps SO much. But refrigerating them helps the most in my opinion.
I genuinely think he polished his head. It is so shiny. I love it.
I love how he’s so open about not being a professional and just trying his best lol
I imagine Yoda is a great cook and that he makes the gross swamp stew for Luke just to mess with him.
I think Lando is probably the best cook because I can see him using it as a seduction technique.
@@jefftalley7036 Oh yeah! I'd eat what ever that man served me :)
@@jefftalley7036 This was my exact thought process as well.
@@jefftalley7036 I mean he did serve Han, Leia and Chewie a meal. Too bad they never got to eating it.
Grogu seems to prefer his food still alive
I hate shrimp tails too, but I’ve never used my hands for them! If you stab the shrimp with your fork to hold it in place, you can use your knife (pressed into the little joint of the tail) and then pull the knife outward, it’s tough but it keeps your hands clean. Genuinely didn’t know ppl were using their hands.
Finally an answer for the kosher salt, that has perplexed me for ages.
Ethan Chlebowski made a great video on the uses for Bay Leaves. I find they add aroma and can help with the harshness of cooking onions.
Hey anime chef guy! Love your channel.
Was literally thinking of him when they mentioned bay leaves!
Make more vids. There my new addition
We add bay leaves and cinnamon sticks while cooking white rice in the water for 10-15 mins. It gives a lot of flavor to otherwise plain white rice.
Just put them when cooking beans, won't regret.
