    You really cannot go wrong with Oneida flatware. I have a set that I purchased in 1999 that has held up to all sorts of abuse, including prolonged soaks in dirty water and some rather percussive abuses. They've held up beautifully. The cheaper flatware I went for my meat dishes was stamped steel and didn't hold up at all. Looking at getting two new sets to update my kitchen, and I'm definitely going with Oneida all the way.

      I'm surprised they're still using the metal bristle brush considering the risks of bristles coming off and ending up in food. I use a spiral metal brush (1 continuous loop) or wood scraper.

    • @sandrah7512

      The Weber grill brush was the most effective cleaner tested and ATK did not note any loss of bristles (with it or their other recommended bristle models) when they inspected their grills after cleaning - a caution recommended by the Centers for Disease Control - even when they went to town scraping the Weber on a concrete sidewalk. Recognizing that not everyone is on board with bristle brushes so ATK also recommended a coiled steel brush by Kona. ATK's full review of grill brushes is on their web site.

    Aside from heft, balance, and edges of the flatware, the spoon head shapes matters. The more expensive one looked like the spoons were really round/wide, where the Oneida one was more oval and looked like it would be more comfortable.

    How come when he says "we have a cup of liquid" it's clearly at 125ML but then it's also a 2 cup sized pyrex container? Are the measuring lines off?

    • @sandrah7512
      @sandrah7512 13 днів тому

      Keith was contrasting "quarts of water" in a traditional brine to the relatively small amount of liquid required for their brinerade.
      So 1/2 cup ≅ 1 cup (and that was a 1-cup measuring cup).
      Or he misspoke?
      Or maybe he had his colleague Annie Petito's (she developed this recipe) thoughts about doubling the recipe on his brain:
      "The results were juicy, tender, deeply but neutrally savory, and so versatile that I found myself grilling double batches (you can easily fit eight breasts on the grill) just so that I could have chicken on hand for quick, easy meals all week long."
      But likely just quarts=big, a cup (or less)=small.

      “Really hot”, as Keith said. Aka “High”, uniform heat, no “zones”.
      From the (linked) recipe:
      FOR A CHARCOAL GRILL: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes.
      FOR A GAS GRILL: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave all burners on high.

    You still use table salt in most of your recipes, is this because it dissolves quicker or because most people still use it. Would be nice if the app and website allowed you to change the salt type even better would be between diamond crystal and mortons.

It's based on the same review here, but acknowledges that the previous winner (and other contender from the same brand) have been discontinued.

      Brinerade IS a real term - It’s a cross between a marinade and a brine. So, it’s got way less water than a brine does, and it’s basically a really salty marinade but with no acid.👈definition courtesy of The Frugal Girl. (August 21, 2019 article: The Best Chicken Brinerade).

      “Instead of brining them in plain salt water, I spiked the solution with fish sauce. The soak would help the chicken cook up juicy over the hot fire, and the glutamate-rich fish sauce (I added 3 tablespoons per 1⁄3 cup water) would add salinity and umami depth without imparting a distinct flavor (as soy sauce would) or making the chicken taste fishy.” Senior Editor Annie Petito, who developed the grilled chicken recipe for Cook’s Illustrated (and ATK).
