everything all the meets all the that
1:53
they serve in this one pot early in the
1:56
morning they fill it up with a little water
1:58
it cooks day all that fat render
2:00
that eventually start stir fry in it's own
2:02
fats and it's incredible
2:06
this , one of those recipes that you
2:08
think to yourself only a restaurant
2:10
can do it because of the volume of
2:12
meat that is in this giant pot
2:14
bright but i finally decided to take the plunge

3:01
guy who played left on same less which
3:03
was another amazing patentable
3:05
show and leo
3:07
am i have started watching it together of
3:09
my older son leo so it's a show
3:11
the takes place in a restaurant and
3:14
the main director has worked
3:16
in like super high stakes fine
3:18
dining environments including eleven madison
3:20
park which are mike very familiar
3:23
with because my office when i worked
3:25
as shake shack was later early in the wine
3:27
cellar of eleven embark
3:29
i would have to go into the wine room to get into
3:32
my god office so who the seven
3:34
eleven madison park you worked at no muscle
3:36
all these places and now he's come home to chicago
3:38
to kind of like save his
3:40
family is
3:41
the address
3:43
usually i can't watch the show had a
3:45
place in restaurant kitchens it
3:48
bothers me so much like canal
3:50
the castings really weird like the set
3:52
dressing as like wrong they're like using
3:55
you know tom
3:56
experts say whatever i just didn't like you would never
3:58
do that see what he's doing there
3:59
like that not right like many sites
4:02
but for the bayer they got really good
4:04
consulting to work with the actors
4:07
and to make sure all that stuff feels real and
4:10
leo has his first rest the job and
4:12
we started like having the
4:14
tv dinner dates to watch the bear
4:16
together and it has been like
4:19
so fun oh
4:21
it's has awhile since we had a tv show
4:23
that both and
4:24
to at the same time and still
4:26
ask me like
4:27
why are they saying like whatever was he saying
4:29
hands what does that mean i'm well italian
4:32
and
4:33
and ah yeah mother son
4:35
bonding to snuff like
4:37
that is the most wholesome i've
4:39
in a very long it's it's it's it's it's it's
4:41
it's it's
4:45
all right carla are you ready to get
4:47
into some color questions
4:48
was born ready let's do
4:50
this
4:53
i reckon carla this
4:55
is nolan he him calling from
4:58
story a queens in new york city given
5:01
that it's grilling season i did have a question
5:04
on fourth of july a friend have a
5:06
cookout but he did not wanna ma'am the
5:08
grill as he asked me to do it i'm
5:10
a very comfortable cook i felt
5:12
fine doing that however
5:14
the more people showed up bringing things to grill
5:16
the mourners most people bringing sausages
5:19
and of them are cooked i had a time
5:21
or like beer boiled or and like that so i
5:24
was a little nervous about under
5:27
cooking them because we had port
5:29
we had lamb we had turkey we're things of different
5:31
sizes is there the
5:33
way of knowing that a sausage on the grill
5:36
is done without having to cut
5:38
it open or poker with i have
5:40
hand which would run other juices
5:42
out of it if you have any suggestions of a good
5:45
with visually and seeing if the
5:47
rock or sausage or whatever it is done
5:49
i would love to hear back from you you very much
5:52
a
5:52
love me some grilled sausage sat
5:54
out also love cleans
5:57
would do it
5:58
the really long time to real
5:59
the cooking a sausage well requires
6:02
grilling over medium heat it's
6:04
kind of that low and slow equivalent
6:07
of cooking inside
6:10
and you just don't have to be like jumping
6:12
around dealing with the super high flame
6:14
and flare ups non sounds like
6:16
experience and comfortable and confident
6:18
with love to see it and
6:21
this question to me really as about
6:23
surfing done this without having to cut
6:26
into the sausage which as he says
6:28
he didn't never
6:28
one i do yeah i'm done this
6:31
on a sausage is a little tricky because
6:33
is gonna casing him but i think
6:35
there's some visual cues that can really
6:37
help you out the first saying is that
6:39
the sausage itself when it's
6:41
done it will shrink
6:43
and linked by pop
6:45
up in girth ha ha
6:47
shrinkage and girthy i
6:50
, i know if like a whole
6:52
new sausage but you know we all love a little
6:54
girl appear like normally when i
6:56
am grilling meets i'd try and
6:58
and touch them and i can usually tell done this touching
7:01
it yeah sausages are not that
7:03
it's going to pass up
7:05
because all of the juices on the inside
7:08
are gonna get steamy and are going to try and burst
7:10
into when a sausage burst of that
7:12
means it's now going over
7:14
ten so you wanna pull it
7:17
right before it burst you're
7:19
going to see it kind of inflate like a balloon
7:21
you might see little bubbles happening
7:24
underneath the casing that's
7:26
your cue that it's ready to go whom
7:28
the other cues that i always look for
7:31
our even browning on all sides
7:33
so if you're grilling something like a bratwurst
7:35
that has bratwurst a very light skinned
7:37
casing you wanna get like deep
7:40
golden brown tear melly colors
7:42
all over on all sides if
7:45
you're grilling something like a child he saw
7:47
that got a red colored to you
7:49
want something deep brick red color
7:52
almost trying like brick try not to
7:54
get too aggressive with my charm arts
7:56
and you know if you are grilling on
7:59
that beautiful medium heat
8:01
then you're not going to get those flare ups are you
8:03
shouldn't get flare ups and you shouldn't get
8:05
like really aggressive trying i yeah
8:07
and like any other
8:10
cat as me
8:11
it's really important to let the sausage
8:14
set after you take it off the ground
8:16
and west because
8:18
all of those juices that have been like
8:21
unleashed all the fat rendered inside
8:24
you want
8:24
that stuff to settle down to lake
8:26
recombine with the ground me if you cut
8:28
rate into at all of the juices are given come
8:30
out near good may even if you close it perfectly
8:32
well you're gonna end up with a
8:35
dogs i had this friend well
8:37
he's no longer friends because i watched him grow
8:39
sausages was actually
8:42
used to cut them in half lengthwise
8:45
and grill them cut side down
8:47
until basically it was just like the
8:50
of issue of issue
8:52
mirabelle and i was like we
8:55
spent so much money buying like these amazing
8:57
sauces and literally
9:00
just like killed all
9:02
of a delicious juices out of them was
9:04
like no you are never coming back to house can't
9:06
get out yeah the only time will cook
9:09
a sausage like that as if i'm starting with the
9:11
already pre cut sausage so like that
9:14
your boss or spanish juri
9:16
though because anything had end to
9:18
them they're fully and just to
9:20
get like the maximum amount of browning on
9:22
that flat side but i also do
9:24
that i would do that in a skillet i wouldn't i
9:26
don't think i would do that outside thread so
9:28
let's get back to the grill sausages
9:30
on the grill medium heat beautiful
9:32
charring that bubbling
9:34
right beneath the surface let
9:37
those dogs rast off
9:39
heat he cut into them and
9:42
i would like mine with hot mustard
9:44
experience
9:47
her color
9:50
what's on your mind
9:51
hi my name is mckenzie my pronouns or he's
9:54
ham i was wondering what do you think
9:56
are your most underrated kitchen
9:58
utensils or underrated
10:00
kitchen appliances something that you feel
10:03
a lot of people don't have but they said house
10:05
and why
10:07
i love this question because usually
10:09
people are asking what the most
10:11
over read add appliances or tools
10:14
are and in that sounds so
10:16
good there is a sex
10:18
and that i called ten kitchen
10:20
tools you'd probably
10:22
don't have that definitely
10:24
needs and for the vague
10:26
during class in love it okay so what was
10:28
your number one on that list and
10:30
mortar
10:31
the i gotta say like i
10:33
use my mortar and pestle for so many
10:35
more things than just grinding
10:38
spices so i have a smooth one and
10:40
i have the japanese grooved
10:42
one a sir about see
10:45
that acts of is a president from our good friend
10:47
andy bear ghani gave that to me many moons
10:49
ago and i use them all like
10:51
almost every day so yes i grind
10:54
spices with them by it it
10:56
also won't mass down garlic
10:58
financial the and can make a whole caesar dressing
11:01
and my smooth more i'm humble you
11:03
can coarsely chopped hosted not spices
11:05
something them into the mortar and pestle and giving them as
11:07
you wax i take
11:09
crew times and turn them
11:10
the breadcrumbs in the mortar and pestle
11:13
i just like love
11:15
using it also i love sort tactile
11:18
old tools that just feel
11:20
elemental and essential
11:23
one of my favorite tools that i think
11:25
more people to own is
11:27
a scale yup i think scales
11:30
are absolutely essential for baking
11:32
to get like the most perfect
11:34
results the reason why i have
11:36
like a really tricked out coffee scale
11:39
which actually measures out to
11:41
the hundreds of a gram is because
11:44
in mexican cooking chile's
11:46
actually are also the thickening
11:48
agent for a lot of soups and stews
11:51
they also come in like so many different sizes
11:53
like if i say use three
11:55
on shows my aunt you might be
11:57
really huge years might be a little bit smaller
12:00
yeah and therefore your sauce is
12:02
gonna be a lot thinner than my sos so
12:04
if i give you a gram amount for that we're
12:07
gonna get the same results and so that's
12:09
why i love scales is just like you're
12:11
always gonna get as close to the recipe
12:14
that i developed in my house with the
12:16
scale
12:16
i think i said in the bulk like if you
12:18
never ever ever bake and have
12:21
no desire to maybe you don't
12:23
need a scale but if you even bake one
12:26
gotta tell you
12:27
the river so stuff i
12:29
also really love a good
12:31
she tray like i might have
12:33
a stack of about sixteen she trades
12:36
in my house yeah i got some
12:38
primarily because of video shoot
12:40
they're just the really easy when
12:42
you like have one day is completely missed
12:44
out and you put everything for
12:47
that dish on one tray yeah but
12:49
i also just loves instead of like having
12:51
a thousand different measles just
12:53
put everything on the she trade i use and
12:55
for spoon raz i use them for grilling
12:57
use them for my i use them for
12:59
just about anything also
13:01
, tip the quarter seat makes a great cake
13:04
for one's oh tix of
13:07
course he would know about synthesis us
13:09
cause sometimes that's it you need
13:11
that is true another thing that
13:13
ah canada back to
13:15
leo working in a restaurant for the time
13:18
is that i am obsessed
13:20
with masking tape and sharpies it
13:22
just help you say official know what
13:24
you have not over by
13:27
not lose track of things labeling
13:29
leftovers so the people actually eat some
13:31
and i've been made fun of by everybody
13:33
in the family like really mom do you have to label
13:36
like that those are eggs like obviously their
13:38
eggs and then i started working
13:40
harasser i'm he came home and he was like yeah
13:44
the tape and
13:45
rp like real know psych
13:48
aren't , glad you grew up in a house for you already
13:50
know like how to label his sake
13:52
yeah kind of another
13:55
obsession of mine are these
13:58
little och so quarter cup
13:59
liquid measuring cups so can't
14:02
live without i'm like they're the best
14:04
tool because it is so annoying
14:06
when you were developing a restroom and you just cooking
14:09
in general and you you want
14:11
to use three tablespoons of cider
14:13
vinegar or four tablespoons
14:15
of olive oil and have
14:18
to use a tablespoon measure for something like
14:20
is so annoying when you have these liquid
14:22
measuring cups just pour in there
14:24
and they stack really nice
14:26
the they're very compact i have
14:28
millions i could go on
14:30
on bad yeah you by the the however
14:32
many things we've
14:33
it will make you likely promise
14:36
a better smarter more confident cooks
14:38
also happier just like us so
14:41
healthy
14:48
the borderline salty what's your question
14:51
how wrong with a little more model
14:53
for my son as a season
14:56
there are no love listening yourself
14:58
my know it
15:01
wherever question that saying they
15:04
were beijing of years later what
15:06
we saw that i was as if
15:09
rcs and i will never saw
15:11
never saw is so thick to see the other
15:13
baseball
15:14
so far as the advertise
15:17
this year
15:18
thank you
15:19
the most adorable collar ever
15:21
are you crying i'm crying
15:24
literally literally tearing up oh
15:26
my
15:27
wow olivia thank you for calling
15:29
that makes us so happy and also
15:32
a baker after your own heart rex
15:34
is baking like daily
15:36
i know i know i mean
15:38
i actually i've i connect with you quite
15:40
a lot olivia because i was
15:43
begging it a very young age and love
15:45
my sweet tooth had the best of me even
15:47
then and i actually liked this
15:50
question because it's very thoughtful for
15:52
me as a as a young baker i just
15:54
ate everything i mean you know
15:57
that's how i said listen that the just it's a it's
15:59
a but
16:01
i see that you're a lot more than
16:03
i was as a child i think is also
16:05
great question
16:06
you're not a baker bring things home
16:08
like the day had i
16:11
thought is delicious feather and
16:13
scallion savory scones and
16:15
didn't finish them in a day and that stuff too
16:17
late people are buying
16:20
their big guides once you get them home how to keep
16:22
them like optimize season have him the next
16:24
day so the way i break
16:26
this down is really
16:30
you want everything to be airspace
16:32
when you're storing them especially your baked
16:34
goods and so your choices be com
16:36
are you storing it airtight at room
16:38
temp airtight in the fridge
16:41
or airtight freezer so
16:44
for example aired hate room temperature
16:47
that what we would recommend for
16:49
cookies cookie do you
16:51
can portion
16:53
wrath and keep in the freezer funny
16:55
that you say that because i always have
16:57
emergency cookie dough in the freezer
17:00
at all times we know that your freezer
17:02
have different is my magical land
17:04
with like at one day we will have to do like
17:06
a visual tour of oz yeah
17:09
ak my freezer so
17:12
one of the things that to me i think
17:14
fundamentally is most important about baking
17:16
is that fresh baked goods are always
17:18
best and if you have that in your mind
17:21
then how do you
17:23
reconstruct those baked goods so they
17:25
always seem like they're fresh out of the oven
17:28
so what i try and do is like i'll make a
17:30
do so it could be a pado
17:32
it could be a biscuit do it could be a scone
17:34
do it could be a cookie dough and then
17:37
you freeze what you're not going to eat
17:39
that day so like you portion things
17:41
out you make your cookie dough balls
17:43
if you're going to bake nine of them then you put all the
17:46
cookie dough in the freezer so you're saying
17:48
the best way to store a freshly
17:50
baked good as actually to
17:52
the only bake what you eat
17:54
that day
17:55
yeah and way you're always
17:57
giving your future self a little
17:59
prayer
17:59
right so this is great for
18:02
i like things that can be frozen do the same
18:04
thing with pastry down so it's
18:06
really easy to sort of make a double quantity
18:09
of a tart do then
18:12
freeze half of that but some things
18:14
you have to bake whole like i'm thinking
18:16
about layer cake ix or current
18:18
rads finance brad things
18:20
like that those are going to store best
18:23
in the fridge but anything
18:25
you play in the fridge is going to absorb
18:28
moisture so that could be actually really great
18:30
for layer cake because they
18:32
could sit in the fridge for a couple of days and they're
18:34
not gonna dry out but
18:36
then things like a banana bread or zucchini
18:38
bread or even pound cake
18:41
get a little too who
18:43
much humidity and so for those i
18:45
like to take out slice and
18:47
pop into the toaster to kind recreate
18:49
that lake freshly baked you know war
18:52
and delicious and then you can melt butter
18:54
cheese and to themselves cakes
18:57
if you're storing like three the cake
19:00
rabbit i like to do
19:02
parchment and then foil put
19:04
those in to the fridge or
19:06
cut it into smaller pieces
19:09
and put those in the freezer and then just let
19:11
them saw and then you've got
19:16
cake in my love fresh
19:18
takes pies i whenever
19:20
i make a pie i usually leave
19:22
those out overnight no more
19:24
two days i feel like either
19:26
you wrap them tightly and plastic wrap but
19:29
i think the flavor actually benefits
19:31
from a room temp overnights
19:33
hang out but after that you definitely to get
19:35
them in the refrigerator because especially
19:37
if you live in a warm climate
19:39
or humid climates your cross is
19:41
gonna get soggy and the fruit
19:43
pies especially are going to start to get a little bit
19:45
weird and get the develop off flavors after
19:48
twelve to twenty four hours so get it
19:50
in the fridge after that
19:52
yeah
19:53
you know a you can deal with left over
19:55
pie that maybe the cross says like not
19:58
crispin delicious as a was on day
19:59
one what tell me
20:01
break it up into pieces and then mix
20:04
it in
20:04
q ice cream shut
20:06
up yes oh my god are you kidding me
20:08
yeah it was one of the most popular things
20:11
on the menu at shake shack was that apple
20:13
pie concrete it with pieces
20:15
of apple pie just say
20:17
when did it
20:18
into a cream
20:20
so you could use gelato or let our
20:23
hard ice cream kind of temper
20:24
the then just makes the pie pieces
20:27
in
20:27
the to the ice cream and it's kind
20:30
of amazing it's a blizzard basically
20:32
oh my god i once a peach
20:35
pie concrete right now they've
20:37
ever had that derek when he hits
20:39
the sickness
20:42
we are
20:44
almost at the end of the show but i think we have
20:46
some his one more
20:50
hurricane carla hear what is your conundrum
20:53
i reckon carla my new the alley my
20:56
pronouns are see her
20:58
and only new jersey in the kitchen
21:00
is bacon grease i my
21:03
parents always save their base will raise i
21:06
of saved my bacon grease have put in a jar
21:08
of i know what to do with a i don't know
21:10
her story and i don't know long
21:12
is good for yeah
21:15
oh my gosh my parents did the exact
21:18
same thing we had this little crock
21:20
next to the stove and it was
21:22
always full of bacon
21:24
grease it was it ran
21:26
out on it would go down little kid my parents
21:29
actually use it quite often my father used
21:31
it a lot for his famous
21:33
rephrase beans but it was
21:35
this in this constant state men
21:38
and use
21:39
the i think that's the really key thing if
21:41
you're using it regularly and you
21:43
know how to use that than keeping
21:45
it out by the stove is totally fine because you're going
21:47
to go quickly if i
21:50
think you know oil like
21:52
that are slow to kind of turn
21:54
by i like to play
21:57
rendered fat and like honestly all
21:59
kinds the about like i'll save chicken fat icesave
22:02
the drippings from michael pork roast anything
22:05
that i perceive and like a really lovely
22:08
chops and render beautiful lamp that
22:10
i'll pour that os and in that
22:12
case i like to put them in a small jar
22:15
preferably glass you don't get like that
22:17
plastic you flavor and store them in the fridge
22:19
label them and put in the fridge by
22:22
it's really important to things before you
22:24
store i like to strain the fab
22:26
just to get any solids that are the
22:28
pan out cause that well
22:30
the album
22:31
further longer and the other thing is
22:33
if there was any smoking or
22:36
charring or anything that burns like
22:38
spaces in the pan
22:40
that's that is gonna have kind
22:42
of an accurate flavor and probably the
22:44
one that you wanna save
22:47
by that yes
22:50
the animal fat
22:51
love animal fat actually
22:53
it's funny that you were saying that because it just reminded me
22:56
i used to have several court containers
22:58
and love duck fat from my
23:01
duck fat can see and
23:03
castaway days and
23:05
i actually one of my favorite things to do with it
23:07
was to make crew with
23:10
ah basically instead of butter
23:12
olive oil just like throw a bunch
23:14
of intensely flavored
23:16
duck fat into a pan and then
23:19
toast you're beautiful black sounds incredible
23:22
oh my god they were so so
23:24
good but you can also do that
23:26
with bacon grease or pork fat or
23:28
be sad or chicken fat or any kind
23:30
of animal fat right is is like
23:32
it's so incredibly useful
23:34
and the thing that you wouldn't think about with any animal
23:36
that is that anything
23:38
, you would use crisco or
23:41
butter or olive oil for you can pretty
23:43
much use an animal fat so i've made pie
23:45
crust i've made biscuits made
23:47
scone obviously
23:49
the crew times also just
23:51
such a vegetables like a vegetables normally
23:53
as i'm starting vegetable for an
23:56
animal does it add so much flavor
23:59
is there's leave you in get you know you're collecting
24:01
like carla if you collect your animal
24:03
fat your pan drippings you're gonna
24:05
get so much more flavor
24:07
than if he's like just a regular vegetable
24:10
oil or even an an extra virgin olive
24:12
oil
24:12
maybe you're going to make an
24:15
iceberg wed salad that has
24:17
hunks of be care law
24:19
and you're going to you on that good
24:21
akin fats and make the crew times
24:24
like rec just sad i target have begun
24:26
that cruz hands and you
24:28
see and the iceberg and the saying
24:30

for for for we go it is time for
28:46
no thank you please this is the segment
28:48
of the shower we talk about foods that not
28:50
everybody loves but everybody
28:53
said and today we're talking
28:55
about one of my favorites is
28:58
claps eggplants they're
29:00
not just for emerges anymore this
29:03
is eggplants are so
29:05
incredibly delicious but incredibly have to admit something
29:08
when admit moved to new york in two
29:10
thousand and one was
29:12
not a huge fan i didn't actively dislike
29:14
them i was fairly neutral to them
29:16
as much as i think in taxes
29:19
at least in the nineties stag plans
29:21
you gotta the grocery store were just they are
29:23
there was a seemed old and tennis rebel
29:26
army and they just didn't look
29:28
very good side wanted to buy one
29:31
and then i moved to new york and
29:33
i remember my first summer going
29:35
to the union square farmers markets
29:38
and be absolutely
29:40
mind blown because of
29:42
all the different varieties of eggplants
29:44
yeah japanese varieties
29:46
and straight be than that of
29:48
the white ones in the dark ones
29:50
and the big ones the little ones know that was the
29:52
short and above all of us they
29:55
were so incredible and so that's
29:57
when i really started buying
29:59
not because i liked
30:02
the flavor knew what to do with them just because it was
30:04
so beautiful and i wanted learn
30:07
to eat them in learn how to cook them yeah
30:09
i think that is so true for me too
30:11
when i realized how many different
30:14
holler that they plants there were
30:16
and sizes like same
30:18
i grew up with your standard
30:21
kind of what follow globe eggplant
30:23
italian globe that's what you're gonna find
30:25
in the supermarket the ones
30:27
that are really huge are spongy
30:29
and they have a giant seeds packet
30:32
in the middle and the last has
30:34
gone this is my see
30:36
and they they can be better so i think
30:38
that's what a lot of us grew up
30:40
eating and y things
30:43
like eggplant parm where the eggplant
30:46
hi like paper thin and
30:48
then and fries you
30:50
just don't even know that there's a plan
30:52
in it anymore is like the
30:55
will favorite way they eat at plant
30:57
and the u s and there's a lot more
31:00
going on so the time here
31:02
is a great time to go to the market
31:04
or go to an asian and look for the long
31:07
purple ones that have a very small diameter
31:09
those are amazing just cut in half
31:11
and brush with olive oil and grilled
31:14
and then obviously there's so many foods that
31:17
are incredible with a plan like you
31:19
know bob of the news was sorta
31:21
said beats like some of these things
31:23
are found all throughout the
31:25
live on and the middle east and
31:28
should be really at leaned into and enjoyed
31:31
it would you can do so many things
31:33
with it it's also fun to just experiment
31:35
because it wants to be with other
31:37
things as wants to be with friends and have
31:39
a good time it's not really one of those things
31:42
that you just make and use herbs solo
31:44
by itself is it wants to be
31:46
like the center of a party and like you know
31:49
and just make everything and taste better
31:51
taste one other thing can be can little bit
31:53
jarring about eggplant that they
31:55
suck up a lot of oil yes
31:58
oil remember the first time that time like tried
32:00
to to see or an eggplant i was like
32:02
okay you're literally drinking the up my
32:04
entire bottle of olive oil vs
32:07
the think about eggplant is all at once
32:09
it will just like suck up yeah all
32:12
of that but then once it's cooked
32:14
it'll it and in so you'll think oh
32:16
my god this is gonna be the greasy of thing ever
32:18
but then as it cooks as it browns
32:21
as you evaporate off that interior
32:24
moisture it will start to release
32:27
the oil and then like chris
32:29
bob and get you those nice brown crispy
32:31
edges that a really really delicious and flavorful
32:33
is and you'll have that creamy cursory texture
32:36
with out all of that that a minute still gonna
32:38
like hold on to some of the fat less you
32:40
know you start out with half a cup of olive oil
32:42
that one slice of globe eggplant
32:45
it's not going to keep all of it inside yeah
32:47
and like i always say we left sat in this
32:50
house we love sad
32:51
okay to everyone who has maybe
32:53
only had that one typical you know
32:56
american type of eggplant
32:58
is that's kind of like just ever having
33:01
it's a red delicious apple and then
33:03
deciding that like you never to eat
33:05
another apple again lots of variety
33:07
is lots of different quality
33:09
is lots of textures lots of colors
33:11
like expand your horizons
33:14

33:16
