Dave chang had a bit on one of his podcasts about that. And it's good advice. You wanna start learning good technique and practicing your fundamentals start with eggs. They're dirt loving cheap and you can make a billion things with them.

There's another prick whose name I can't remember who try's and pull the same bullshit cooking advice, kid with long hair. It's probably more a problem with youtube and their godawful algorithms but I keep getting recommendations for these loving worthless morons who've never stepped foot in a kitchen tell me that 150 years of seasoned and tested culinary advice is actually all wrong and I should be air frying my soup or whatever the gently caress.

Actually that reminds me that in the new version of Good Eats, Alton has an episode for eggs. His method for prepping fried eggs is to place a carbon steel pan in the oven at 450 degrees. Once the oven hits the temp, he leaves the pan in there for another 30 minutes. After that he pulls the pan out on the cook top, puts a half table spoon of butter in and drops 2 eggs in. Then he covers the pan with a lid and sets a timer for 4 minutes. After that you get presumably perfect eggs.

Its basically a Ragusea episode through and through. He spends a good 5 minutes complaining about how a range provides inconsistent heat and how 'low' 'medium' 'high' don't really mean anything before turning to a completely unncessary and suitably insane 'hack'. What happens if you want more than 2 eggs? Well you just heat up more carbon steel pans in your oven. Yes, seriously:



I will say though, I have done the oven-steel-egg, and it is pretty consistent and perfectly cooked.

It can be a pain due to the lead-time of heating the oven and pans up, but it does produce a very nice egg.

That's fair enough, I just don't know who the recipe is really for. For someone that might know a little bit about cooking, it's not really an alternative method I would see being used much given the very slight increase in quality for the longer increase in time. It's not like sous vide/reverse sear/pan sear/grill where the alternate techniques can produce a radically different output and sometimes might be outright necessary or superior for a particular cut. And for beginners, there's a little too much 'set it and forget it' type of cooking that isn't necessary for eggs and already exists with the insane amount of slow cooker/instant pot type stuff.

Seems more like something you would use to introduce someone with crippling OCD to cooking, where being able to control everything and stay perfectly consistent every time is key. Or maybe chefs high end restaurants (basically the same thing).

It reminds me of his grilled cheese vid which doesn't even accomplish what it set out to do. Why not introduce people to halloumi and other grillable cheeses and make a grilled cheese sandwich that consists of grilled bread and grilled cheese if you're going to emphasis that point so much? Otherwise who's gonna get the grill out and create makeshift griddles from spatulas just for the sake of a grilled cheese? Who is this for?

That's like half good advice half total bullshit. Adding Smoked paprika and dry mustard is killer with cheese. That thick of break needs way more fat on it than the paltry spraying he gave it. Using olive oil over such a high heat grill is loving nonsense and the lack of surface contact means your gonna get a poo poo uneven crust on the bread.

You could do the exact thing at home by melting the cheese in the microwave, doing the bread in butter in a cast iron.

My grilled cheese hack is using mayonnaise on the outside of the bread instead of butter. Gives a much more even colour.

He's definitely leaning hard into a YouTube personality which is funny cause you can tell he hates it at this point. But if your someone who gets mad at YT cooks without experience then he, at least, is someone who worked in a professional kitchen for several years until his YT kicked off. His baking recipes are also excellent and he uses weight measurements so he's in the top tier of recipe creators for that alone.

I have done his wings recipe in the past and while it works I can't imagine going back to it now that we have air fryers or Kenji's baking powder method. I think AB just reposted his recipe on his personal site so it's not like he's backing away from it either which is just :psyduck:

I don't get the impression that George Motz is a great interviewer from the early burger show episodes where they had guests in his house. All I need George Motz to do is get unreasonably excited about hamburgers and make the first bite of every one sound like the greatest taste sensation any human has ever experienced.

There must be a regional hamburger somewhere made with ultra-hot sauces.

Haha the thought of George Motz, of all people, being a good interviewer is hilarious. He can't remember what *he* is talking about at any time. I would watch every episode but not for the guests. You watch Hot Ones because that wallpaper paste shaped like a human asks amazing questions while disappearing. Motz would do the exact opposite.
