Turkey Looks like a Norman Rockwell Painting! Chris Young 2024-11-24 | Food stylists use a trick to make their roast turkeys look like a Norman Rockwell painting. I’ll show you how to glow up your turkey, by painting it with bourbon, bitters, and a secret ingredient for a photo-ready, delicious and juicy roast turkey. I adapted the recipe from the work of Nicholas Gavin @chefstepsINGREDIENTS:80g Bourbon Whisky20g Bitters10g Kitchen Bouquet Browning & Seasoning Sauce2g Liquid soy lecithinTo ensure it's cooked to perfection, I’ll also be using a Combustion predictive thermometer that combines precise measurements with an advanced physics engine to provide an accurate countdown to "done.”I own Combustion.Inc and know the thermometer is perfect for this. You can use other meat thermometers or probes intermittently to check how the turkey is cooking. If you have no additional equipment don’t worry! Cook low and slow until the turkey is done. 4-5 hours minimum at 200°F | 93°C for a 12lbs bird.

Freezing Makes The Perfect Beef Wellington Foolproof & Easy Chris Young 2023-12-14 | Ice is the ultimate insulator, and makes baking the perfect beef Wellington easy and foolproof.PRODUCT LINKSCombustion Predictive Thermometer: https://combustion.incPastry Lattice Cutter: amzn.to/3Tp6j2CStainless Offset Spatula: amzn.to/3GEZvGoWaygu Beef Tallow: amzn.to/3NlKugfRECIPECenter-cut beef tenderloin, ~900gPuff pastry sheets, two ~400g sheetsCremeni mushrooms, ~600gShallots, ~200gLardo, ~32 thin-slicesDijon mustard, ~25gWhole egg, 1Thyme, ~8 to 10 sprigsOregano, ~4 to 5 sprigsRosemary, ~4 sprigsMaderia, ~100gSalt, as neededBlack pepper, as neededBeef tallow, as need for frying (optional)Canola oil, as needed for fryingAll purpose flour, as neededNon-stick parchment paperPlastic wrapSteps1. PREPARE THE BEEF by trimming and season with 1% of its weight in salt. Wrap the meat and salt tightly in plastic wrap, package for sous vide, cook at 130°F (55°C) for 3 hours, and then refrigerate until cold. Shallow-fry in an oil at 400°F (205°C) for 60 to 90 seconds to develop a medium-brown crust. Blot off excess oil, then chill and keep refrigerated until needed. 2. PREPARE THE DUXELLES by finely chop the shallots and mushrooms. Cook the mushroom and shallots together over medium-low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add sprigs of thyme and oregano and cook until the mixture looks dry. Deglaze with Maderia and continue cooking until mixture is dry.3. PREPARE THE CURED-MEAT WRAPPER by laying out the slices of lardo (or prosciutto) on nonstick parchment. Work left to right and then bottom to top, and overlap each slice so they'll hold together as a solid sheet.4. SPREAD THE DUXELLES LAYER over the cured meat sheet using an offset spatula to make an even layer about 0.25in / 6mm thick. Leave about an inch of the cured meat uncovered at the top of the sheet so that it can close the wrapping.5. WRAP THE BEEF using a long sheet of plastic wrap.Use two overlapping sheets of plastic wrap for enough width if necessary. Coat the beef tenderloin with a thin layer of mustard, and then place it onto the duxelles about one-third of the way up. Use the plastic wrap to roll things up. As you do, peel back some of the parchment paper so that the other end of the cured meat will overlap onto itself and seal the roll closed. Use the plastic to wrap tighten the roll, and refrigerate while preparing the puff pastry.6. WRAP IN SHEET OF PUFF PASTRY a few inches wider than the meat roll, and long enough to wrap around the meat roll. Brush the sheet with egg wash, then wrap the pastry tightly around the meat roll. Pinch the ends closed and trim as necessary. Egg wash the surface and cover with the puff pastry lattice (optional). Make a hole for a wireless thermometer (optional) and wiggle the probe to make the hole a bit oversized (it will shrink during freezing! Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to cook and serve.7. BAKE THE WELLINGTON's CRUST in a convection oven preheated to 450°F (230°C). Unwrap the Wellington, let the pastry thaw for a few minutes and then brush with egg wash. Add rosemary sprigs to the lattice windows if you want. REINSERT the Predictive Thermometer into the hole and then bake until the crust is dark golden brown and the surface sensor just beneath the crust has reached 190 °F (88°C), which means the crust has cooked through. This takes about 40 minutes. Note, rotate the Wellington as needed for even browning and reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) if the crust is starting to look too dark too quickly. 8 FINISH HEATING THE BEEF once the crust is fully baked. Crack the oven door and reduce the oven temperature to below 200°F (93°C), and ideally close to 150 °F (65 °C). Let the meat continue to heat through until the core is at least 105 °F (40 °C), which will take another 40 minutes. Use advanced mode on the Predictive Thermometer to see the temperatures from all 8 sensors to get a sense of the different temps inside the Wellington. Don't let the surface of the meat exceed 120°F (49°C) during this step, as it will continue to heat to about 130°F (55°C) while the Beef Wellington rests before slicing.8.

Does Basting Work? | TESTED Chris Young 2023-09-28 | A friend recently asked me if basting works, or is it just something chefs do to play with their food? And if it does work, what’s the best technique? Today we’re going to put basting to the test to separate fact from fiction. After a bunch of testing, I might have to change my religion when it comes to basting.NOTE: Since this wasn't made clear enough in the video: Although it takes about an extra 90 seconds to cook the unbasted steak to a temperature (105°F) where it will end up reaching 128 °F after resting, this doesn't make it slower. The extra cooking time shortens the required resting time compared to the basted steak, and so both steaks end up at ~128 °F within ~47 seconds of each other on average. This is why I argue that basting doesn't appreciably speed cooking.

Make a Slurpee (no special equipment required) Chris Young 2023-08-18 | What’s the story behind the Slurpee? And, more important, is it possible to make your own without an industrial frozen carbonated beverage machine? In this video, I uncover a long-forgotten and expired patent that describes a recipe and method for turning ordinary soda into a Slurpee without any special equipment.RECIPE500mL Coca Cola or similar soda (ice cold) 28g Sugar1.5g Low-methoxyl pectin: amzn.to/3ODUwth0.4g Guar gum: amzn.to/3qylOJw1.0g Yucca extract: amzn.to/3OYE6g91. Weigh and combine pectin, guar gum, yucca extract, and sugar. Blend these powders thoroughly, and then add to an empty and dry soda bottle.2. Pour 100g of ice cold CocaCola into the bottle with the gums and sugar, cap the bottle, and then shake aggressively to disperse the sugar and gums. Refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the gums to rehydrate.3. Pour out 150g of the remaining CocaCola, then slowly pour in the hydrated gum syrup from step 2 into the bottle. Try to have the gum syrup just flow across the surface of the soda without mixing to avoid the soda foaming up and making a mess.4. Cap the bottle, shake it vigorously to mix the gum syrup into the remaining soda. You will feel the bottle re-pressurize. Carefully crack open the bottle slightly to allow CO2 to force all of the air out of the “headspace” above the liquid. Tighten the cap firmly as soon as soda starts to leak out.5. Freeze for approximately 4 hours, shaking the bottle after the first hour to break up the ice. Shaking the bottle as it freezes from time to time will result in a finer texture of ice. When the bottle feels slushy like it’s filled with heavy wet sand, crack the bottle open to let the DIY slurpee foam up and enjoy.NOTE: You can use other carbonated sodas, but may need to increase or decrease the amount of additional sugar to achieve a 16 to 18 °Brix sugar concentration in the final recipe.PRODUCT LINKSCombustion Predictive Thermometer: https://combustion.incAcaia scale: acaia.co/collections/coffee-scales/products/pearl?variant=42295495327972Alternative scale: amzn.to/3R7xzSbRefractometer: amzn.to/3QKX0ZlFIND ME HERECombustion Inc: https://combustion.incTwitter: twitter.com/chefchrisyoungInstagram: instagram.com/chrisyoungcooksPAST WORKChefSteps: https://chefsteps.comChefSteps Joule: amzn.to/3jSxpvgModernist Cuisine: amzn.to/2MXB5zRThe Fat Duck: thefatduck.co.ukTIMESTAMPS:0:00 Intro2:15 History of the Slurpee4:15 The frozen carbonated beverage machine (FCB)5:31 Why does the DIY Slurpee need more sugar?8:31 Adding plenty of fizzy bubbles8:58 The (expired) patented idea behind the DIY Slurpee10:10 Making a DIY Slurpee start to finishCREDITSQuillaja saponaria in bloom image by Amber Kerr
