OK. When you said 'homemade centrifuge', i was imagining a lettuce spinner or something; The washing machine blew my mind.
I actually wonder if a lettuce spinner would work. Although, given the amount of time it needs to spin -- and aren't lettuce spinners manual? -- I'm not sure that would work. I'm not sure I would risk my clothes dryer on a recipe. But... it worked for Ann. That was brave.
@obrien It's not a dryer, it's a washing machine. So if something spills, it can wash itself. But yeah, salad spinner might be very tough on your arm. A spin cycle is easily a 1000+ RPM, hard to get that with a hand crank.
@@marigeobrien yeah you definitely need the consistency of a machine, a salad spinner would not be able to match the speed and consistency of a washing machine or, obviously an actual centrifuge
Lettuce spinners are nowhere fast enough to pull a centrifuge.@@marigeobrien
I was expecting a cameo from @Turnah81 making a custom insert for the drum there, but it might be a little simple for his taste.
If you know the spin speed, you can convert from revolutions per minute to radians per second by multiplying by 2 PI and dividing by 60, which is almost the same as dividing by ten, square the result and multiply by the radius to get the inward acceleration. Divide that by 9.81 m/s² and press "inv" and "tan" to get the angle from vertical that you want your test tubes or jars to sit, then make wooden supports that hold them at the correct angle. If you make ten of them, each 36° of arc, you should be able to slot the last one into place to hold the others in a whole, stable ring. You could even have multiple levels and do twenty or thirty jars at a time.
Just be sure to load the centrifuge evenly. You don't want an unbalanced drum wobbling around as it spins.
Maybe 12 inserts, each 30°, would be better so you can symmetrically place 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 or 9 columns of jars.
"It tastes horrible... Let's give it to Dave!"
😂😂😂
For sure Dave should win husband of the year!
Insert YEAH BWOI meme 😂😂😂
This made me LOL frfr
I love the trust they have between each other. After all these years, he's still willing to try whatever she gives him. #CouplesGoals
It's a family tradition now.
I thought vegemite was made of vegetables. But then again, I also thought as a child that melancholy was a plant 😅
My embarrassing slip was calling a wheel-barrow a wheel-BARREL up until like, my mid 20s lol
That is so cute! I hope you weren't experiencing it at the time. Maybe you were into books like "Little Women" or other bygone fiction?
I thought seagulls grew up to be pelicans.
@@MrMr-ws3tv Well, that's how it works in Pokemon XD
But everybody knows that melancholy is an animal.
I'm not an Aussie. But I got a taste for vegemite when I was living in The Netherlands and found it randomly on a shelf in my local supermarket.
I had heard the legend of the disgusting snack and decided to try it.
Most people I know find it absolutely unbearable, but I actually like it.
Today I don't live in the Netherlands anymore and it had been years since I've even seen a vegemite pot, but after seeing your video, I was reminded of the savory taste. So I decided to get some. I googled where I could find this snack until I found that there is an international shop in the city center of where I live so I went there to look for some. As soon as I told the salesman what I was looking for, his face made an expression of dismay.
I am happy to say that I just got back from the store and made myself a piece of toast with butter and vegemite and I love it. It tastes better than I remember.
But that's not all.
My cat, who is always interested in what I'm eating came up to sniff the spoon I used. I let her do it, thinking that her sensitive nose would be offended by the smell, but I was wrong. She licked the spoon instead. Tentatively at first but then with gusto. I don't let my cat lick my utensils so I took the stuff away, wiped the vegemite remnants off the spoon with my finger and put it in her bowl. She licked it clean with a satisfied purr.
This experience has made me wonder if more animals like the stuff. Due to the ammount of salt, I wouldn't give it to my pet regularly, but there's lots of animals in nature that like salt.
What do you think?
Marmite is essentially the same product, just based in the UK. I actually think the only reason why Vegemite isnt as big worldwide is because of the possibility that Marmite took the thrown for those who like it.
@@itsrickyschannel.We don't have Marmite here either. But the vegemite at the store was actually cheaper for more.
The drive to eat salt is pretty universal. There are special neurons that detect it and shut off our apatite and the reverse drive to eat more food without salt (sweets).
The nerves are in the mouth or stomach, can't recall, apologies.
Yum! 🐈❤
The improvised washing machine centrifuge was genius.
She is so resourceful. The ingenuity on this channel is superb.
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
fantastic. ive never been so disappointed with my front loader
Yeah I was expecting a salad spinner. Kudos to that ingenuity
That was crazy clever
The advertising slogan for marmite in the UK is "you either love it or you hate it". There really is no middle ground for marmite/vegemite.
Compared to that Scandinavian exhumed fish dish, I think marmite and vegemite are sane. I've tried Marmite. Wouldn't eat it again. That alone puts me off vegemite, though the taste is apparently different. Insane.
We also have Marmite in South Africa. I love it. And i do eat it by the spoon, little licks at a time. It satisfies my salt cravings immediately (after like 5 spoons lol)
i think there is a middle ground. i dont love or hate vegemite. i like it, i enjoy the odd slice of toast with it, or a cheese and vegemite sandwich. but its certainly not my go to.
In the early days of Vegemite they changed the name to Parwill.
If Mar mite, Par Will
I dunno about marmite, but after vegimite I thought it was good but didn't fall in love.
Hi Ann, I’m Aavai from the UK (and I’m 9) today I got my Grandad to buy us some Vegemite, and my Grandad, my Mummy and I tried it on toast and we all thought it was quite nice.
An adventurous spirit-excellent!
(I’ve never had Vegemite, but I really like umami; you and Ann have inspired me to try something new 😊)
So someone 9 wrote this
@@Wilburworm07I have a 9 year old and she can barely spell, no way a nine year old can use grammar/capitalise words correctly like that.
@@DiamondCake2 Maybe OP is homeschooled. We started learning about proper nouns in grade 4. Maybe Mum checked the grammar.
@@Wilburworm07 maybe they got someone to help them
Back in 1970, when my family lived in Brisbane for a time (we're Canadian) my mum used it to "add body" to gravies. None of us would touch the stuff otherwise.
I like to add like a teaspoon of it to my vegetable broth
It just adds a certain umami je ne se quoi
Your older son is nearly completing his transformation into Dave. Mission accomplished.
First she cracked the FLAKE secret recipe & now VEGEMITE! What shall we get the world's favourite culinary sleuth to investigate next??? 🧐
Which ones the Flake recipe? This vid was great, i'd watch another easy.
Sriracha, please!
I would like to see instant coffee 😅
Now I known how to get my nuclear weapons program of the ground.
@@eppiox Search for "Debunking Exploding Egg Hacks & blowtorching chocolate". That was also a very interesting one.
I love you Ann!
I do, too.
13:55 might be because yeast extract has similar properties to MSG when added to food. Another is use that it's sometimes used as a vegan stand-in for meat stock.
You have the true soul of an engineer. Your DIY centrifuge is genius
A few drops of finings will do the SAME job without a centrifuge!
Right?! Some UA-camrs are out there playing with oobleck and asking will it, meanwhile HOMEMADE washing machine centrifuge
A washing machine IS a centrifuge.
@@kellymoses8566 Correct! What do you THINK the SPIN cycle is?
Your younger son's feedback is so clear and unfiltered, I love it
I just think it's so funny that he's probably just young enough that his taste buds are still really sensitive lol.
That's the nature of children. Unapologetically blunt and honest. They don't have the sense to tone down reaction for the sake of someone else's feelings yet.
He is a sensitive soul 😂
I think it's probably because he's the only one of the three who has never tried beer. That's pretty much the look of someone after their first.
@@joncarroll2040 good point
I am Canadian of Irish descent. I discovered Vegemite about 12 years ago. Eaten the proper way, on toast with butter with an optional slice of cheese is heaven to me!
Put the cheese on and then grill it in a toaster oven...
You can also mix it with avocado on toast and it works really nicely as well.
@@summerfield738 I will try that! Thank you for the suggestion!
Do you broil it to melt the cheese?
@llamasugar5478 I think you guys call it broil, we say grill, so yes grill/broil on top.
Well done figuring out a recipe for Vegemite. Others have tried, but you're the first I know of to succeed.
I guess it takes a food scientist to understand the alternatives. Not many have heard of stabilized yeast or seized chocolate
13:25 the face and throat sounds of "I'm about to vomit" followed by "that's... Pretty good"
That washing machine as a centrifuge idea was brilliant! You never cease to amaze! 👍
Centrifuges spin so fast they creates 30,000 times the force of gravity!!! A washing machine cannot replicate this.
Centrifuges spin so fast it creates 30,000 times the force of gravity!!! A washing machine cannot replicate this.
when she got the pool noodle i was expecting her to ask the kids to spin it really fast, but the washing machine was better
@@toolbaggers Dude, she's not separating human cells out of plasma or something. She's just pulling the yeast out of the fluid. And, obviously, it DID work.
using the washing machine as a diy centrifuge is SO creative. it blew my mind! i appreciate how much effort you put into your videos!
8:02 - that centrifuge idea is bloody genius.
Actually solves a couple of problems for me...
OK. You got me. Your pool noodle+washing machine hack earned an immediate subscription from me.
There's such a wide variety of beer recipes that I imagine the company has a very specific blend of spent yeasts from selected breweries.
If you’re new here you’re in luck, there are many great food science videos on this channel🎉
As a scientist myself, I was saying that is a perfect homemade centrifuge!
anne has done quite a few impressive things. there's one video where she casts metal, no lie
i love how ann is like: “we couldn’t go into the factory and there’s no recipe, so i have to figure it out myself.” and then she really does figure it out. not only that, but the aim of the video wasn’t even to make vegemite, but to use it to make something else. hats off!
I’m from Argentina and I experimented vegemite when i was 18 from an aussie friend and I loved it.
Que gusto tiene? No me lo imagino
Growing up in the UK in the food rationed 50's the original Marmite was a favorite of mine. In my teens I spent almost a year in Melbourne and discovered Vegemite, which is so similar, maybe a bit less strong. I've lived in the US since the early 1980's and still have a taste and need for either version. My Niece in the UK occasionally sends me special Marmites like one made from Guinness yeast. My go to version now is Vegemite and in the squeezy bottle. To me they are all yummy. I haven't yet met an American who likes it - the couple I know who have tried it spread it on thickly like peanut butter and obviously it was too much for them. I really appreciate your scientific approach to this subject - keep up the good work.
I’m so sorry you had rash in control in the 50s. While your monarchy was eating everything under the sun.
I think that generally Americans are so used to sweet spreads that are/can be spread thickly. I once told one that you had to put it on thinly, and they said "what's the point of having it then" lol
I like Marmite. I presumed I would like Vegemite too as it seems so similar so I bought a jar. I do no like it at all. Whatever the difference is between Marmite and Vegemite- I hate it.
@@leep9458 I think that the base flavour is the same, but Marmite has more salt in it, so it hides the bitter beer flavour a bit more than Vegemite does.
“ I don’t have a centrifuge so let’s make one”. You are awesome Anne! Come to Perth to visit soon. We need our meet and greet. My cookbook is still crying out for your beautiful signature.
Her son's wearing a Freo shirt so surely!
@@aussiegooner yeah. They are from here. There was a meet and greet scheduled but COVID cancelled it.
In South Africa people lost thier minds when the shop had a supply problem with Marmite. There was Facebook group giving out info on what shops still had stock. Thank God the supply problems where solved.
When they came back on the shelves my mom bought 5 bottles 😂😂😂. It's not my favorite thing but it's not terrible
OMG the dark days of the Marmite shortage, with rumours swirling that there was a single Spar out in Durbanville or something that had a few jars they'd dole out if you asked... At one point I seriously considered ordering it off UK amazon but the shipping was just too crazy
Is Vegemite like Marmite?
@@juliemitchell3013 vegemite is very nearly the same thing.
Yes@@juliemitchell3013
This was wonderful, you create such fascinating videos Ann, thank you!
Excellent content, and as always your family participants are excellent.
Ah yes, your “soy sauce substitute “ you ended up with sounds very much like a product called “Coconut Aminos” which I came across a few years ago. It’s made from fermented sap of the coconut palm and salt. It is dark in colour and umami in flavour and a little bit sweet. They also market it as a soy sauce substitute. I would imagine it is made in a similar way by separating the solids from the ferment and concentrating the liquid fraction by boiling.
Thanks for a really interesting analysis vid!
I literally thought to myself: “I wonder if I should try Vegemite as a soy sauce substitute. I wonder if it would be like coconut aminos…” lol.
@@medicwebber3037 You can absolutely use vegemite in lieu of soy sauce for certain applications, works great in stews and casseroles too.
I love coconut aminos: sweet and salty, nice :)
I would be interested in trying it as a soy sauce substitute, because I do have an allergy. Thanks for this!
Me eyeing my 10 coconut palms...
I'm in awe of that homebrew centrifuge! Taking the food science to the next level
I’m an American and I tried marmite in a London airport and I NEVER expected how salty it would be. Like nothing I’ve ever experienced before or since. But always a very fun video to watch Ann figure it out!
That was marmite, the original product/ Vegemite is made the same way but with added seasonings, flavours.
@@MrShnier The original product was actually made in Germany in the 19th century, didn't catch on and the license went to the UK which produced it and sold it as Marmite.
I really enjoy watching your videos. They are so interesting! Also love you and your family!
Just watched your debunking healthy TikTok foods video where you ate 20g of cane sugar and said "The things I do for you." I think that sentiment can be mirrored with the vegemite. You're a trooper!
It never occurred to me that one day I'd really enjoy a 15 min video about Vegemite. Thanks Anne!
Better than trying to enjoy vegemite itself!
@2008ana. It seems a video is much better than actually experiencing home made vegemite.
I'm impressed with your creativity and persistence!
We.. some of Sri Lankans do love Vegemite as well as Marmite. We make hot drink from those by adding bit of chopped onions, pepper and lime
We have our own version of comparable yeast extract in Switzerland. It goes by the brand name of Cenovis.
Born out of the philosophy of breweries: Nothing is thrown away.
It goes in the same family as miso, soy sauce, salted anchovies: fermented proteins to create a lot of umami.
Cenovis is a Vitamin suppliment here in Australia. That could be really confusing for Australian tourists
This video made me crave some cenovis and butter on bread ^^
I cannot believe you used your washing machine as a centrifuge. Frigging hilarious and brilliant
😱 I suddenly got nostalgic! I'm from Uruguay and I tasted Vegemite 20 years ago as soon as I arrived in Britain, introduced (and promoted 😅) by awesome Aussie mates at the backpacker's hostel I was staying. They especially recommended it to me since I was a vegan back then. I remember it tasted a little bit awkward at first but then I loved it, since I love the taste of yeast. I never saw a jar again since I came back to South America. Great channel! 💪💪
This was great. My first taste was while working in Indonesia in 1989 with several Australian friends. We took a family trip to Australia in 2000 and they were able to try it.
I can't say I'm impressed as usual, because watching you recreate the recipe and then alter it to make it enjoyable with other dishes REALLY raised the bar I feel in so many ways! You're such a great chef, scientist, teacher, & host. We are not worthy 🙌🏾
Using a washing machine on spin cycle is brilliiant. When I was working in a molecular diagnostics lab we needed to spin very tiny tubes to remove solids. The commercially available centrifuges cost thousands of dollars, so we bought $40 salad spinners, put small racks in them for the tubes, and spun away. It worked perfectly.
I'm Ukrainian and tasted Vegemite while I've been to Sri-Lanka. Aaaand -- I love it so much! BTW, sometimes I'd like to eat it with the spoon only )
I love your home made centrifuge btw. Excellent.
When I was a kid and had a really bad case of gastro, our doctor told my um to make some pasta, it didn't matter if it was spaghetti, spirals, penne etc, but to put about 2 teaspoons of vegemite into the water it was cooked in. When it was finally cooked, he said to give me the drained pasta with nothing else on it, no oil, butter or sauce. The vegemite would give the pasta a little bit of flavour plus some of the nutrients, B group vitamins and so on would still be on the pasta and would help me get better.
40 years on I have used this with my own kids and it works a treat. The flavour is gentle on the tummy and seems to slow down or stop gastro's effects fairly quickly.
Wow, thats a cool trick!
Your ingenuity Ann is unmatched! I would love to see a recipe for the umami ganache!
As a canadian who visited Aus for the first time this past July, there were a few unique Australian foods I knew I had to try, and Vegemite was one of them. I'm an adventurous eater, and i enjoy savory things, so didnt mind the taste of it, but I dont know if I'd go out of my way to have it again. My husband really enjoyed it though!
Thanks for another fun and informative video, Ann! I always enjoy what you do.
your video production, storytelling, your scripts, your concepts... everything is so well put together ❤
2:45 so happy you showed this reaction. It’s the best/funniest, and it was a collab with you, so it fits perfectly 😂
The fact she screamed for help 🤣
This is fascinating to watch. Your ingenuity and depth of knowledge is always incredible to watch, but fully on display here.
So so clever. A true Australian innovator ❤
You really deserve a price for your amazing research, creativity and effort!
I really enjoy watching your videos:)
The food + science combo of your content is so fun! This video is a perfect example ❤
I love that your younger boy with the underdeveloped sense of taste is just "HARD NOPE" sensitive to most of the experiments. That really made my day. Great content as always, thanks!
I've never been to Australia or Great Britain, but I absolutely love Vegemite and Marmite!! Difficult to get locally, so I have to order them on the amazon store. Could you make a video on other Australian favorites? I'd love to try other things!
American, here. I had an Australian roommate who introduced me to it via the storied Vegemite sandwich, and honestly i loved it. I usually keep a jar in my cupboard. I like it spread on toast with cream cheese, or on an English muffin with sharp cheese and over easy eggs
Thank you Ann's family! i love that they help you in your videos! Sending love from eastern North Carolina, USA
I love Vegemite so this was so interesting to see how it is made. Yeast extracts have always been a bit of a mystery to me . I feel enlightened. Thanks Ann
such a hilarious intro. Ive gone back and watched it over and over again to laugh. I have a very spacious heart for your channel.The most darling family.😍
I live in the Appalachian mountains here in the states. My neighbor who was from London introduced me to Vegemite on buttered toast and I loved it immediately! Some stores here sale but hard to find though
you are such an icon and i always love your videos ! the homemade centrifuge u made is so brilliant and its just so cool
The centrifuge! You're incredible. So brilliant.
I kept hearing that song in my head by Men at Work where a 'vegemite sandwich' was a lyric in it. That was the first time a lot of Americans heard about vegemite. Fascinating video, well done as always. Thank you.
4:29
@@niceguy191Thank you! Must've subliminally seeped into my brain!
You are a very good analyst. Well done.
Always good to see Dave
I grew up mixing Marmite into my porridge (rice, not oatmeal) and it's great. I'll happily eat it by the spoonful too.
Born and raised in Canada and my friend brought me some veggiemite and I love it!
This is the most Aussie video I've ever seen. "Down Under" playing in the background at the Vegemite party? Priceless!
Okay, I’m sold, I’m gonna go out to the store later and buy some Vegemite from the international aisle! I’ve never tried it before but have seen it become more common in stores the past 8 or so years here- always wanted to try it but heard horror stories from some of my teachers who had worked in Australia for a few terms! Now I’m curious to see the taste! Thanks Ann! ❤
You can also add a slice of cheese or some avocado to the Vegemite, toast and butter.
Apply the less is more principle & you will probably enjoy it more.
I’m so impressed, I work in products research and development and I wish I was half as innovative as Ann. You’re a genius Mrs. Reardon! And what a sweet family as well, please tell your son I love his Magnify shirt ✝️❤
love the simplicity of the washing machine centrifuge, awesome!!
I didn't know your channel and I've never eaten Vegemite here in Belgium but your video is very good !
15:09 Hubby and number1 son knows which side of the toast is buttered. Number 2 son has yet to learn.
Also add avocado on top as well. Devine!
Born and raised in the US. I grew up listening to Men at Work. Since I was a toddler I've wanted to try a "Vegemite sandwich". After 30 years I finally made it happen last weekend and I can't stop thinking about the stuff. It's so good.
I'm an American, and I like the stuff. Especially with butter on toast. I know a lot of folks find it to be kind of strong and salty, but there's something about it that grows on you very quickly.
Mate, try it with fried eggs on top of the vegemite toast, thats heaven !
Or even just thin-sliced tomatoes, with cheese, toast the lot so the cheese melts yum yum yum
I've never been to Australia. I love that stuff.❤
Living in the US, I didn't get to try Vegemite until my 40s (about 20 years back). I immediately loved it. My fav is to put a good schmeer on some wheat bread and top it with Havarti cheese (best Vegemite -cheese sammy combo I've yet tried). It's great stuff. Vastly superior IMO to Marmite as a condiment, though Marm, being thinner, is easier to use as an ingredient for stocks and the like.
Vegimite is no1! Try on crumpets , with real butter no bs margarine crap!
Marmite is MEH, but promite isnt bad, I haven’t had in in a while but loved it when i was a kid!
I'm an American introduced to Vegemite later in my late 20s on a trip to Brisbane. I LOVE the stuff especially on toasted Japanese white bread with butter. In that example with Hugh Jackman, I actually use about 3x more than that...a blob about the size of a grape, but it took some time to work up to that amount. At first, it was a smear just barely visible on top of the butter. Yes, it's salty but that really yeasty flavor is what makes it awesome! I will report the rest of my family thinks it's vile.
Perfect video and content as always. Can you please make a video on Protein snacks and bars? or Protein powders? pleeeeease!
I'm from the UK where obviously marmite is the equivalent. As it turns out, I used to work in a food factory that made (among other things) marmite biscuits (cookie type biscuits). If you add the right amount to a butter short dough, you get a delicious, somewhat cheesy biscuit. Might be worth giving it a bash.
now i know why i have washing machine
7:49 bruh, I never would have thought of this. So creative!!
amazing work
I’m Filipino and I love vegemite! I was introduced to it in the 90s by an Aussie friend who was volunteering in Manila during that time.
Love it on toast!
You are an amazing person!
I have to say, I love the reactions from your experiment. The etc. 😄😆😅
I love unusual foods, appreciate Vegemite and adore home made centrifuges, food science, brewing and other fun stuff. Subscribing!
So smart! Thank you!
Your work is excellent, and I hope something will come of it.
I'm from Austria, yes , from up there ! A friend of mine living in Queensland sent me a jar of Vegemite with tipps how to eat, i like it ! Though i'm not born in Australia. Guess many imagine jam or marmelade taste, salty is unusuall to no Australians!
But i like it on buttered toast, hard boiled egg and a cup of tea ! 😋😋
Impressive ingenuity!
OK, never seen your channel before, but here I am. The pool noodles were ingenious. I'm a fan!
I loved this whole video from the "tv advert" style intro bit to you delicately spitting out the vegemite and then using the washing machine for the centrifuge, just had me 😂 and I love your youngest just being absolutely savagely honest in his bad reviews 😂
I’d guess that the reason Vegemite doesn’t sell well overseas is that Marmite has the market.
I’ve had both Marmite and Vegemite, and honestly there’s a very subtle difference- barely enough to notice.
Nice one!!👍
WOW, thumbs up for the home version of centrifuge machine! impressive creative approach
Hey Ann. Loved this episode, haven't seen your channel before.
I'd like to learn how to make the packet sauces and flavoured foods. Things like Continental oriental rice, Continental cheesy rice, Continental Pasta and cheese sauce, Ben's original Garlic rice, Ben's original savoury chicken rice, etc.
I used to work for CUB in the R and D laboratory many years back. We used to make yeast extract in the lab on a small scale. To make yeast extract, you heat the yeast up to 55deg C for about 15 minutes, I think the pH was also adjusted, might have been 5.5. The yeast will autolyse then you centrifuge the slurry to separate the yeast extract from the yeast cell walls. The yeast extract is then concentrated in a vacuum rotary evaporator. To make Vegemite, Kraft throws in about 10% salt and a certain amount of malt extract and they also throw in yeast cell wall material to the mix. The cell wall material contains alpha gluten and is really healthy, I believe they used to use it for wound healing. Hope that helps. BTW love your centrifuge, brilliant.
I'm with you Ann!
