But there are other kinds of pans that can get really close โ in my opinion, close enough that they make PFAS pans unnecessary in most kitchens. First, there are nonstick pans that arenโt made with PFAS: most notably, what youโll hear called โceramic.โ These pans arenโt actually ceramic; theyโre metal pans with a ceramic-like coating. But, like Teflon, these pansโ non-stick coatings will eventually fail, making them useless. For me, the best Teflon substitutes are cast iron and carbon steel pans. Sure, they require a bit more work and they do have a learning curve, but when seasoned and used properly, these pans can get very close to the nonstickiness of actual non-stick pans. If the seasoning layer fails, you can just re-season it, rather than throwing it away. And thereโs nothing in these babies that poses any legitimate health or environmental threat.Why some jalapeรฑos are SO much spicier than othersMinuteFood2024-10-05 | To try everything Brilliant has to offer for free for a full 30 days, visit brilliant.org/minutefood.

The more carotenoid-rich foods a hen gobbles up, the darker-yolked eggs sheโll lay. But you canโt taste carotenoids, so eggs with carotenoid-packed yolks donโt actually taste different from eggs with yolks low in carotenoids. Yet, based on the color, our brains egg-spect them to taste different. And hereโs another important thing: darker-yolked eggs donโt necessarily come from better-fed or more-local chickens. Because simply by supplementing basic chicken feed with egg-stra carotenoids โ like red peppers, chili flakes, marigold petals, orange peels, or synthetic pigments โ anyone, even a big commercial producer, can get their hens to lay eggs with almost any shade yolk.What sous vide ACTUALLY is (and how it works)MinuteFood2024-09-22 | Technically, the term refers to a specific way of prepping food โ by vacuum-sealing it โ NOT how you cook the food afterwards. But when most people talk about sous vide, theyโre referring to a specific cooking method: cooking sealed-up food in water at a relatively-low and very-precise temperature for pretty long periods of time with the help of this thingamajig: an immersion circulator. This is where sous vide makes its splash: it cooks at the precise temperature you want the food to end up at. So the foodโs temp will rise until itโs as hot as the water, then itโll justโฆstay there. By cooking food at low, precisely-controlled temperatures for extended periods of time, you can get effects that are difficult โ if not impossible โ to get with other โ higher-heat โ cooking methods. This is why a lot of restaurants rely on sous vide โ it ensures that, say, a steak is cooked exactly how the customer wants it each time they come through the door.Sous vide: are you on team LOVE IT or HATE IT?MinuteFood2024-09-19 | Sous vide is one of the nerdiest cooking techniques out there, so it was only a matter of time before this nerd dove on in.

But while many cooking oils consist almost exclusively of these fat molecules, butter contains more other compounds as well: water โ which actually isnโt that important here because it evaporates before the butter is hot enough to cook in โ but also proteins, sugars, enzymes, and so-called โfree fatty acidsโ โ the building blocks of fats that arenโt bound up in fat molecules. And itโs this extra stuff that makes butter behave differently than oil when youโre cooking. At least differently than refined cooking oils like vegetable or canola oil; unrefined oils like olive and sesame oil also contain additional compounds, so they actually act more like butter when youโre cooking, and ghee and clarified butter โ which is butter with a lot of that extra stuff removed โ actually behave more like refined oils.WTF is American cheese?MinuteFood2024-08-29 | Why do some cheeses melt into ooey gooey deliciousness, while others end up a clumpy mess (and WTF is going on with American cheese)?

See, most foods that we cook โ like eggs โ are mostly water, and water and fat donโt like each other. So when you add an egg to hot oil, the egg and the oil actually repel each other slightly, leaving only the thinnest barrier of oil between the food and the metal of the pan. Butter, though, is rich in a few different types of compounds, like phospholipids and milk proteins, that have parts which are hydrophilic โ theyโre attracted to water โ and parts that are lipophilic โ theyโre attracted to fat. These compounds keep the watery egg and the fatty butter in close contact, maintaining a nice thick butter barrier between the food and the pan, and preventing bonding between them. So if you want to be totally sure your eggs wonโt stick, butterโs the better choice.How bad is double-dipping?MinuteFood2024-08-13 | George and Timmy popularized the term in that infamous #Seinfeld episode, but the act itself โ and some peopleโs revulsion toward it โ isnโt new; back in the 16th century, the Dutch scholar Erasmus warned that โit is boorish to redip half-eaten bread into the soup." But is double-dipping actually risky, health-wise? And if so, how risky?Why Your Sourdough Bread Isnt Getting BrownMinuteFood2024-08-06 | The higher the pH, the faster the Maillard reaction will happen. The chemistry is complicated, but basically, a basic environment makes the reactive parts of amino acids even more reactive, kickstarting the domino effect. You may already have a sense of this if youโre a bread lover; since sourdough has a relatively low pH, it often doesnโt brown as well as less-sour doughs. If you want to maximize your Mailliard-ing, raise the pH. Boil your bagels in a baking soda solution. Dip your pretzels in lye. Rub chicken wings with a touch of baking powder. You can even add baking soda while youโre sauteing onions; a pinch or so will speed that GBD right along.The secret to buying coffee youll actually likeMinuteFood2024-08-02 | To start using Tab for a Cause (and help strengthen our democracy!), go to http://tabfordemocracy.org/minutefood

But thatโs not actually what you should go for. Where you probably want to be is in the middle โ in coffeeโs โGoldilocks zoneโ. This is the sweet spot, where youโll get those acids for brightness, those sugars for balance, all sorts of great aromatic flavors, and just a touch of bitterness for a little edge. If your coffee tastes too sour, you want to increase extraction; try longer brew times, higher water temps, a finer grind, or a lower coffee-to-water ratio. If it tastes too bitter, you want less extraction; try shorter brew times, lower temps, a coarser grind, or a higher coffee-to-water ratio.The weirdest ingredient you SHOULD be usingMinuteFood2024-07-19 | MinuteFood merch is NOW AVAILABLE at http://DFTBA.com/minutefood!

And the answer isโฆwell, it depends. There are a few main reasons we cook with fat in the first place: to add flavor, to transfer heat from the pan to the food, and to keep that food from sticking. Butter and oil differ in all three of these jobs, and it basically boils down to what theyโre made of.Meet the Meat ParadoxMinuteFood2024-06-05 | Most of the meat thatโs commercially available is terrible for the animals it comes from and terrible for the environment.

And Iโm not alone; this internal conflict is so common that scientists have given it a name: โthe meat paradox.โ The good news for us conflicted carnivores is that there are a lot of people working on ways to make eating meat a less crappy choice.Are you loading your dishwasher wrong?MinuteFood2024-06-04 | Get a 4-week trial, free postage, AND a digital scale at stamps.com/minutefood.

An alternative is to just rub the meat with plenty of salt and let it sit. Basically; the salt breaks into ions, which diffuse into the meat and make the filaments better at holding onto water. But since you arenโt adding water, theyโre just holding onto the moisture that the meat naturally contains.A rule of thumb for your leftoversMinuteFood2024-04-24 | Thereโs a ton of complicated chemistry going on in leftovers. But you can kind of boil things down to one pretty good rule of thumb: foods that improve by cooking longer - like stews, chilis, and curries - also tend to improve as they sit longer, whereas foods that cook quickly donโt tend to fare as well the second day. But there are definite exceptionsโฆ I mean, who doesnโt love leftover Chinese food?What makes Himalayan salt pink?MinuteFood2024-04-16 | All salts - at least those in your kitchen - are almost entirely made up of sodium and chloride. Different kinds of salt basically vary along that small part of salt that isnโt salt, because what it is instead can have an impact on a salt. On its texture: like the relatively high moisture content of this French salt makes it kind of clumpy. On its flavor: the fluorine, magnesium, and potassium in Italian sea salt give it a fresh, briny taste, whereas the iodine in iodized salt can give it a metallic tang. And on its color; iron oxide - basically, rust - is what makes Hawaiian red salt red and Himalayan pink salt pink.How gross is cast iron cooking?MinuteFood2024-04-12 | Is it gross to cook with a cast iron (or carbon steel) pan?

And itโs this totally different process thatโs responsible for so many of the things about microwaves that seem so weird. Like the fact that they work really freaking fast. If youโre, say, baking something, heat has to work its way through the air to the food, and then all the way through the food, which takes a while; somewhere around an hour, in the case of a potato. But in a microwave, that same potato will cook in just minutes, because the electromagnetic waves interact directly with molecules in the food.The big advantage of stainless steel pansMinuteFood2024-03-05 | Stainless steel pans are, unsurprisingly, mostly stainless steel, with at least one added layer of another metal, like aluminum or copper. The work and materials that go into manufacturing these pans makes them pretty expensive, but their big advantage is that they conduct heat really well - in other words, heat moves through the pan easily. So stainless steel pans heat up fast when you add heat and cool down fast when you take heat away - perfect for something like sautรฉing, where you want to be able to control the temperature pretty carefully.Why leftover pizza tastes so goodMinuteFood2024-03-01 | Why does leftover pizza taste so good?

See, as water inside food heats up, it turns to steam and escapes outwards. In, say, an oven, that moisture would get whisked away as soon as it reached the super-hot surface of the food. But in a microwave, the surface doesnโt get all that hot, so escaping moisture condenses there, sogg-ifying it. And at the same time, all the heat deep inside vaporizes so much water so fast that pressure builds up, pushing out more and more moisture and drying out the food. You can add more moisture โ a sprinkle of water, or a wet paper towel โ but because a microwave is so good at exciting water molecules, itโs just always going to dehydrate food. So, use your microwave to dehydrate food! This thing is a beast at drying herbs, toasting nuts, dehydrate fruit, and churning out cheese crisps and kale chips.How your fridge prevents food from going badMinuteFood2024-02-20 | The land-lubbing critters we lub are mostly warm-blooded; they operate at a consistent hundred or so degrees F - around 38C. Since landfood operates at toasty temps, biological stuff associated with it - the enzymes inside it and any microbes hanging out on or in it - are also adapted to those toasty temps. Refrigerating meat drops its temperature way below this point, bringing microbial and enzymatic activity going on in it to a near-halt - therefore slowing spoilage way down.MinuteFood: using #science to get better at #cookingMinuteFood2024-02-16 | Should I use oil or butter?

Youtube | youtube.com/minutefood TikTok | tiktok.com/@minutefood_ Twitter | twitter.com/minutefood Instagram | instagram.com/minutefood_ Facebook | facebook.com/minutefoodWhy fat makes things taste so goodMinuteFood2024-02-02 | Fats naturally contain flavor molecules: slurp a little extra virgin olive oil and you'll get grassy, citrusy, nutty, even soapy flavors; lick a bit of butter and you'll sense creaminess, nuttiness, maybe a little funkiness. So, when you add fat to, say, some green beans, you're also adding flavor.
Fat also creates new flavors in other foods. Since fat is such a good conductor of heat, it helps heat from a hot pan connect with food in the pan, and since fat can get really hot, way hotter than, say, water, it can help food reach high enough temperatures for flavor generating chemical reactions like caramelization and the Maillard reaction to happen. So, by cooking something in fat, you're producing totally new flavors both in the fat and on the food itself.Brussels Sprouts used to suck, but now theyre delicious - heres whyMinuteFood2024-01-29 | The lowly sprout has had two strokes of good luck in recent years. First, in the late 1990s, brussels breeders started growing sprouts that had lower concentrations of GSLs - the molecules that make sprouts bitter and stinky - and higher sugar levels. So the sprouts youโre eating today are chemically quite different from those that were on your plate a few decades ago. The second stroke of luck for sprouts is that weโre boiling and steaming less, and roasting and sauteing moreโฆ and these methods create much tastier sprouts. Because dry heat tends to break down GSLs in a somewhat different way than cooking them with water does - it creates a mix of volatiles thatโs far less farty. Plus, the caramelization you get from roasting or sauteing sprouts helps too, since that additional flavor and sweetness can help mask any remaining bitterness. In my mind, this combination of a little bitterness, a little earthiness, a little sweetness, a little fatโฆplus a little acid and a little umami is really amazing.Why we love a bitter tasteMinuteFood2024-01-23 | Even if theyโre toxic in large doses, small amounts of certain bitter compounds interact with our bodies in ways that feel good - like the caffeine in coffee and tea. We seek them out because we like how they make us feel, and we get used to their bitterness. And with enough exposure, we might begin to appreciate that bitterness, which might turn us on to other bitter flavors โ and voila, a love for bitter stuff is born.DONT do this to your cast iron pan!MinuteFood2024-01-20 | Wanna know how to avoid rusting your iron pan?
