I think Five Minute Crafts owes you a new microwave!!!
@B Well, but just because you wouldn't buy something second-hand (which most second-hand shops would still clean beforehand), doesn't meant everyone else, in particular Ann, wouldn't.
@Ribozyme Because it comes across as fake relatability. If I had the money to buy new microwave I would 100% choose that over a secondhand one with no warranty and the remnants of someone else's food splattered inside it.
@B That's not my point. My point is, even if Ann can easily afford a brand new microwave, why would she not buy a second-hand one?
@Ribozyme That's not my point. My point is Ann can easily afford a brand new microwave and will no doubt be buying a new microwave. She also knew that this experiment would destroy her microwave but she chose to do it anyway for the views and $$$. No one owes her anything.
@B Buying second-hand is better for the environment and often no worse in quality.
Not sure if I'm the first one to point this out, but I hope it helps: The Nutella Jar on the left (like the ones we get here in germany), discernable by that more rectangular shape which turns round through a weird lip at the top, is in fact made out of GLASS. That is why their Jar didn't melt. They used one of the Nutella Glass Jars. Sorry to hear about your Microwave. I was really irritated when the Jar began to melt and burn, because I pretty much only know the glass jars.
Also, in germany you need to complete a first-aid course to be allowed to do your practical classes for the drivers licence.
I try not to microwave anything in plastic, ever. But why would anyone even _consider_ microwaving something in a PET jar for 15 minutes?! I know Anne takes these debunks seriously, but that's clearly not a good idea, in this case. Don't set your house on fire trying to prove something that obviously won't work, won't work, lady.
@Ana Nas only the big one is glass. All the smaller ones are plastic. The snack size is like one spoonful.
@TimorD I’ve lived my entire life in the US and I didn’t know Nutella came in glass jars. So when I looked at the jar in the beginning, I saw a Nutella jar. A plastic Nutella jar. Because Nutella jars are always plastic in my experience 😂
I still cannot believe she didn't even address the fact that on the left they used the glass while she used the plastic one. It's almost bizzare, as she is one of the smartest, most informed people I tend to watch
good point, however 5 minute crafts demographic is pretty heavily skewed towards younger ppl and children - so the people watching it aren't even gonna think about that, they'll just see the familiar looking nutella jar and think it's just like the one they have.
and, as others have mentioned, glass in the microwave for 15 minutes likely wouldn't be much better
I still can't believe that nutella is not sold in glass jars everywhere. I was worried how the microwave managed to smelt the glass at first. ^^°
Yeah me too. At first I thought the cake just grew, burned and put the jar down. 😅
Lmao same. I have only ever seen glass jars. Tbh glass jars are better imo because they're dishwasher safe so you can easily reuse them.
@Maui Randall I meant that you still need a device or something in order to melt the glass, like, you still can't just stick a glass container in the microwave and expect it to melt without either a microwave kiln or at least pre-heating the glass container. It is pretty neat that microwave kilns exist though.
@Pegged Yourdad It reaches a hot enough temperature to melt if Even a small part of it is preheated to the point where the microwave is able to affect it, You don't have to do anything to the microwave.
I don't know what you're trying to say.
Yeah I was just mentioning an interesting thing about glass and microwaves.
Glass is not immune to microwaving, just room temperature glass won't heat up
Pretty interesting I thought.
Also more people should know about microwave kilns
@Maui Randall Interesting, I’d still count that as sone sort of modification since the glass still would not reach hot enough temps otherwise. But cool to know microwaves do get that hot.
Dave's delivery of "Wow, 5 Minute Crafts, the most trustworthy of content farms" absolutely floored me. To think that we found his limit on what he'd taste test and it was a miniature microwaved Elephant's Foot core 🤣
Elephants foot 💀
That made me and my husband laugh, too! Dave is so awesome!
With so many self proclaimed “nutritionists” and “food scientists” on social media, I really appreciate that you, an actual expert, are using your platform to educate the general population on these topics.
p.s: It seems so crazy that you have been a part of my life for more than a decade now 😅 you made me the baker I’m today and made me fall in love with cooking. I love going to your older videos and feel like I’m 12 again and being excited when every Friday came around. Thanks so much Ann.
im convinced this was actually a bait and they knew you’ll debunk it anyway so now they know how to make easy nutella microwave cake without doing all the hard work that they’ll feature in their channel in some other form😂 without credits of course
always loving your contents Anne!!❤
they'd never bother putting that much effort into anything
The funniest thing is, it's FIVE minute crafts. If you use their recipe for FIVE minutes, it's actually okay.
They arent that smart
Your microwave finally had enough of the crazy crafts. He was a brave soldier...
Fs in chat
he died a hero
@How To Cook That Can you do a cotton candy popcorn in a skillet cause I saw it on 5 min site..
Maybe try the microwaving vinegar hack to get the smoke smell out of the microwave. I'm not sure how long but it should be boiling for a little while.
@Tyler N I cook rice in a microwave cooker for 5 min on high, then 15 min on 50% power, with a plate under it in case it boils over (way easier to clean than the big heavy glass turntable). I don't think I've ever done anything longer, though.
That nutella "cake" went through all five stages of grief in 12 minutes.
The other two old timey methods of storing eggs were to dip in wax - usually a blend of paraffin and beeswax - for raw eggs, as fresh as possible from the farm. Or boil them and pickle them. Many room temperature preservation methods came from Europe, where the room temperature is significantly lower than Australia and they used a larder (so cooler still) and the egg preservation was for during winter, when chickens often come off the lay.
Well, most of these modern day "homesteaders" don't understand that old methods of preservation is only supposed to last through the winter, not years. That or last only as long as it took to ship it to another town or country.
@Tiny Home Chronicles I thought room temperature was 25°C!
The only thing missing about the egg story is that she was speaking about store bought eggs, which is what most people would use. However, every salmonella issue i've ever heard about was from store bought eggs. Most of us who raise our own chickens know not to wash the egg, it has a protective layer that gets washed off in store bought eggs. And keeping eggs in lime solution does work, easily in a cool dark area. Many people do it, and no stories of salmonella poisoning 🤷🏼♀️
Yup. You're absolutely still supposed to keep those eggs in a cooler temp, though not necessarily full refrigeration, but definitely NOT at the full room temp most people think of at 70F/21C. My Mamaw did water glassing in the southern USA and kept the jars in the spring house, where it stayed about 50-55F year round.
I made your nutella mug cake as a quick snack and I've never had a cake so light and fluffy, let alone that it could be made in a microwave! I was not exact with the measurements either, just went by eye and it still turned out amazing.
I didn't know you could get Nutella in plastic containers, I've only ever seen it in glass jars. I feel like you'd have ended up picking bits of shattered glass along with the burnt cake out of the microwave too if you'd had a glass jar!
For the matcha I'd add one little commentary: even if your matcha doesn't leave that fine line and isn't as brightly green, it doesn't necessarily mean it's fake. More often than not it would mean it's either lower quality or it's old (it slowly oxidates when contacting air).
In the UK and across Europe most Nutella jars are made of glass. I don't think it would have made a difference to the burning cake though.
Can confirm this for Ukraine and Poland. I have never seen a plastic jar of Nutella in both countries.
Bro when I used France as a stop to vist my family in Algeria and also to vist other family it was glass
@The Kazoo Queen I ve seen it on my holiday last year tho
in new zealand we have plastic
Glass in SA too
I tried the microwave mug recipe and gave it to my brother for him to try. He has since asked me to make one regularly and asked for the recipe, it’s a big success in his opinion.
Mug cakes are so yummy
RIP Anne's Microwave: It dedicated several years of valiant service before the torture was finally too much to bear. It will be missed. :,(
The egg portion of the video reminds me of how chinese century eggs are made today and they're generally regarded to be very safe (at least when made properly). The traditional method involved wrapping them in clay mixed with quicklime, salt, wood ash and rice husks.
I haven't watched in a few months (I love to watch a few new videos in a row) but I've been watching your videos since 2015/2016 and absolutely love it! I really admire how you have adapted to the changes with these debunking videos and absolutely love the intro!
Also, RIP to your microwave!
@How To Cook That Thank you!
Welcome back!
It's always weird for me when I hear people talk about refrigerating eggs because here in the uk we don't do it since in America they wash off the natural protective layer with a chemical sanitizer
@The Nerdy Tiger
Its disgusting. Im american and Id never eat a commercial egg from a laying farm. The farms are filthy, chickens crammed in on top of each other, no room to move, beaks cut off, fed chemical and antibiotic laden feed And then the eggs are washed so their natural protection is removed. Its so gross.
My major US city allows people to keep up to 8 chickens in their backyards. So theres lots of fresh eggs. I buy some eggs every couple weeks from my neighbor. They are so much better than the mass produced ones.
The standard American laying farm is filthy, they have to wash the eggs.
When I was a kid on a farm we wouldn't wash or refrigerate the eggs for weeks.
same for Germany. I store mine in the fridge but they are perfectly fine at room temp
We have glass Nutella jars in the UK and my partner's favourite trick for them when we're almost out is to fill them with milk and microwave them for a couple of mins - gives a quick and easy hot chocolate and makes the jars sooo much easier to clean for recycling.
I'm genuinely surprised Ann attempted 15 mins in a plastic pot at all! RIP microwave 😂
@Chicago Typewriter probably shipping, popularity, and production expenses as well. There’s three plants in the Americas (Canada, Mexico, Brazil), one in Australia, while there seems to be seven in Europe (If you count Russia), two in their home country of Italy alone.
@Chicago Typewriter probably cause europe has better consumer protection and more green incentives
@Comrade Windowsill A bit of a both I would say. So far I think I have tried Italian, German, French, Polish, Australian, and US. I used to be a big Nutella addict (3kg per month!) but I've been clean for a year now.
@Saam Nkosi please confirm if the jar is microwave safe or not, coz it may explode in the microwave or when you take it out 😯
We used to have glass jars but idk if we do in Australia have them anymore.
The look Ann gives the camera at 6:10, you know she's about to educate 😂
I had the same thought 🤣
Ann: "Don't eat raw eggs"
Somewhere in the distance: *angry Gaston-noises*
@Azure I'm so happy it made you laugh! ☺️
This was so unexpected and made me chuckle a good long while.
RIP Chef Mike, thank you for your service! You were so brave and fought so hard
I hope she can do a tribute compilation for mike
for the matcha tip, this is actually useful in telling the quality of your matcha!! poorer quality matcha will have more of the brownish hue that you can see in the regular green tea,, while the high quality matcha will have a more equal green tone throughout. :)
This!
Plus, cheap/filler loaded matcha tastes really bitter, even with lots of sugar added. Good matcha shouldn't need half a cup of sugar added to still somewhat bitter.
There are cheaper, but *still good quality* matcha blends that taste slightly bitter but still decent without adding a ton of sugar and clearly still have a vibrant green color. I would still consider these real, but the moment you see any freshly opened "swamp green" powders throw it out!
When Anne started this channel, she thought she was going to tell us how to cook. I bet she had no clue she would turn into a chemist and a mad scientist! 🤣
I was surprised that your Nutella comes in a plastic jar. In Germany we have glass jars so it would be fine to put in the microwave for a shorter amount of time / at a lower wattage.
@hades 🦷 where I come from, most of the knock offs come in glass jars. Never seen a chocolate plastic container... Ok I lied... I think the Nusspli one is in a plastic container but other than that, only the small ones you get at a hotel buffet ready for one bun.
in canada they are in plastic jar, if you see glass jar (can be seen in some part of canada) they will be more expensive in comparison to the plastic jar :)
Plastic in Argentina.
@Eagle Owl the glass will likely explode because microwave safe glass needs to have a specific mineral composition and be tempered for heat. If you've ever used a cup that's not microwave safe to reheat your coffee, you may have noticed that the mug heats up more than the contents.
I have had glass shatter in the microwave before (in my case I thought that the drinking glass would be fine, since I was only microwaving it for a short time)
@Jaquan in the US we still aren’t over all the glass jars that had lead paint in them lmao
My heart gets so happy when a new video drops from this channel. I enjoy the entertainment as well as the education.
I'm so glad I watched this video, I live in a msall house with a small fridge, I started to stop putting eggs in the fridge because I saw that in the supermarket they are never refrigerated, so I thought it would be okay if I did keep them outiside to save some space. I think I am very lucky to never have gotten salmonella from them, I feel so stupid now. Thank you for this, I will never ever keep them out of the fridge again!
I feel so bad for your microwave! It survived through a millions of battles against 5 minute crafts but it has to go now. Such a strong and loyal microwave you had....May it rest in peace!!! Will definitely miss it a lot❤❤
I can just imagine the urge to react to these content farm videos with a simple "uh, no." but you do such a good job educating people!
What amazed me the most about this was the fact that the Nutella jar was... plastic. I'm used to regular old glass.
As for the recipe, my favourite mug cake is very similar to the real one in the black mug, but I use regular culinary chocolate, fill half the mug with the batter, place a table spoon of Nutella in the middle, then cover it with the rest of the batter. After a minute and a half in the microwave you'll have a delicious mug cake with a melted chocolate center. Yum.
😅
Words can't describe my feelings at hearing about this microwave's demise. RIP Anne's debunking microwave. You were truly a trooper.
o7
A true trooper. A trueper.
Rest in Piece ya lil goofy trooper. May you be welcome in the great kitchen upstairs.
Hey, I’m from Germany and I’ve actually never seen Nutella in a plastic jar before. It’s always in a glas jar here, so I assumed they probably also used a glas jar in the video. It still probably wouldn’t work like they show it but at least it wouldn’t melt 😅
Today we see something very rare on the channel: Ann giving something that is edible to Dave
Ann, you work so hard on these videos and I'm grateful. Thank you for what you do!
Totally agree. 🙂❤
Rip, microwave. You were an invaluable member of the team, and we'll always remember you.
Aw man I hate bad smells that get stuck in the house! If you put two caps of vanilla extract into an oven safe container and bake for an hour at 300°F, the house will smell better. And if that fails, febreze will probably help lmao
Farewell to our microwave soldier 🫡
Edit: PLEASE NOTE I SAID _CAPS_ NOT _CUPS_
Tumblr veteran?
We all know how Ann feels about microwaving anything for 10 or more minutes
@NeRethil WolfssonYeah I always make mug desserts, it needs just 2-3 mins 😂
I've poked holes in very large spaghetti squash/butternut squash and microwaved it for 15 minutes [before cutting it in half and roasting it in the oven] . Doesn't burn and cuts down on the cooking time.
@Kogarashi I guess so! A 1 minute Google will show 10+ recipes saying about 90 seconds, its not that hard.
@Jo PlayingTheSims Who would microwave a mug cake that long? Someone who only has experience with toaster ovens and thinks a microwave is the same thing (spoilers: they're not). Either that or someone who's making up recipes with no actual baking experience and thinks you can just use oven times on the microwave.
Why would you microwave ANYTHING at home temperature?! If have a heart attack for anything over 5 min
I have never been this sad over the death of a microwave. Ann reardon you truly are a wizard.
Love the way you break it all down for us! I appreciate all you do ^^
I hope you're still going to be around for a long time! And Dave, of course. It takes a brave man and brave scientist. If Dave keeps on testing and Anne keeps inventing, we may just see the invention of some cure for something. Thanks for your work.
I think the 15 minutes is a typo and meant to be 1.5. I make something like this sometimes with a mug cake recipe I've been using for over 15 years, but no matter the microwave 2 mins should be the absolute max and usually it'll be less time. Edit: commented before I saw the result, the nutella jars we get here are glass, not plastic, so that's also important info, I didn't know they made them in plastic (I'm in Europe). Also my recipe has more ingredients so probably tastes much better.
That typo can cost some parents their micowaves.
I feel so dumb now, I was wondering how you could typo 90 seconds as 15 minutes lol
Thanks for the mug cake recipe, finally something I was able to make in my tiny kitchen that doesnt have an oven! It was pretty nice, but it's super expensive to use Nutella like this.
My first thought was: "Why did the glass Nutella jar melt?"
Well, didn't know it is a plastic jar in Australia. In Europe we only have glass Nutella jars.
Canada also has plastic jars
@Megilena In the US, I've seen the small glass "stocking stuffer" Nutella jars as well, but not with any special print on them. However, I think Welch's used to produce glass jelly jars like that. We had one with Pepe Le Pew and Penelope for the longest time.
Same.
Makes sense. 5MC are based in Europe, so they probably didn't think that someone would put a plastic jar in a microwave (that still doesn't justify the 15 minutes' cooking)
But even if its glass, not every glass is microwave safe. Plus the etiquette on the outside doesn't seem safe to put in the microwave either.
Thank you for explaining so well everything that most people hadn't heard of!
thanks so much for inspiring me to do more cooking, and I'm now making my own cook book, thank you so much!❤
Thank you! I've had a lethargic curiosity about air vs water cooled chicken that I undoubtedly forget about as soon as I leave the meat section of the store.
I am from Bangladesh and the nutella bottles I have seen in this country (at least the ones I have seen and bought) are actually glass jars. I didn't even know they are available in plastic ones. Is there a way to understand if they used the one with a glass jar or a plastic one? :/
Thanks, Anne! I always enjoy your videos! The way you present all the information on how something is made, what are the pros/cons, and then do scientific tests is truly amazing. You are one the most hardworking content creators! Thank you so much for your efforts! Best wishes, all the way from Dhaka :)
I've loved matcha for years, but never knew about how it is grown and processed. Thanks for educating me!!
I’m honestly surprised it took this long to kill your microwave 😅
Damn good make even with being used for things it definitely shouldn't be used for! 😅
😂
Great explanation of water glassing, thanks! Admittedly, there's one thing that still puzzles me: I always thought "water glass" referred to sodium silicate solution, which dries into a hard crust.
the way i remember seeing and making a very similar recipe to ann’s nutella mug cake on buzzfeed around 2016, which is where i’m guessing where the 5 minute craft telephone game of this recipe started.
I love your vidoes. I learn something new with every video. Plus I love that your closed captions are so good and easy to follow. Thank you for another video
I usually don't comment in videos but this one is pretty special ❤️ Thanks for the amazing content!
The chicken thing was really interesting. I live in the UK and recently there has been a real backlash against "chlorinated chicken" i.e. water-cooled with chorine added but nobody has been able to say why this is such a bad thing!
Because it means the industry can get away with poorer hygiene and welfare standards earlier in the process.
@Rannon I've never heard of that but that would def do it too but without a concrete source I'm more inclined to believe thats a secondary reason. or something used to justify why someone is against the water cooling rather than actual fact, you know?
From what I've heard, it has more to do with, that chlorination can be used to hide bad practises like keeping the chicken, and the areas where they're kept (both alive and dead) filthy. And has less to do with chemicals = bad.
the hell do you drink lol
Gotta wonder when something like that happens it it's a clever marketing ploy!
Dave: "Rubbery. Tastes like an eraser."
Also Dave: *cheerfully keeps eating the eraser*
Bless that man.
i would
You should have an extra microwave specifically for shady recipes.
That was very interesting about air-chilled amd water chilled. I didn't know about the process. Makes sense the difference is so small. I guess the main concern for people maybe shouldn't be the flavour, but the consuming of chlorine. While I get chlorinated water is needed even for our tap water and bottled water, one has to wonder about the long term health effects where everything we consume has chlorine in it.
matcha is different as well! theres food grade, and then ritual grade matcha. ritual grade matcha is used for, you guessed it, ritual teas. its highly expensive because its all hand ground into that nice fine powder, and uses the highest quality leaves
As for the microwave - if you happen to still have it somewhere in the garage. Maybe there's a hack to try - Me wifey tried to clean ours with mandarine and orange peels covered in water in a glass bowl (although I do not remember the proportions). She put the bowl with the peels and water in, and microwaved it for a couple of minutes. She claims it works 😃
Although I love these videos because they are informative. I do miss the old baking videos. thankyou Anne
I just wanted to take the time to thank you for having actual (non-auto-generated) subtitles on all your videos. Too many "big" channels don't have them, and they make such a difference.
Yeah, they're definitely auto-generated and then corrected afterwards. I'm guessing a lot of errors are cleaned up, but quite a few still sneak through - "immersion-chilled chicken" turned into "Asian-chilled chicken" at one point and it threw me for a loop 😂
She's mentioned before that Dave edits all her subtitles! It's so appreciated.
@c6 4116 True, there are mistakes, but it's still considerably better than unadulterated auto-gen.
Perhaps one more pass to catch mistakes would clear things up a little better.
@Madison i noticed the same.
@Thomas M there are some parts that are way wrong. so it IS auto generated, they just added details afterwards. if they didnt, then im concerned about the person doing the captions because there are so many mistakes. (not just in this video either)
oh no your poor microwave!! really interesting stuff in this video! i appreciate how well thought out your testing methods are ☺️ also i feel so embarrassed but i definitely thought that the salmonella was only found on the egg shell, so thank you for sharing that it is found inside the egg as well! 🙏
It is only on the outside if you have farm fresh eggs that haven't been washed. Eggs that have been washed are susceptible to bacteria getting into the inside of the egg.
ty for these videos, Ann! they're so helpful!!
I hadn't heard about salmonella being inside as well! It's not exactly something I keep to date on, though. Now I'm going to have to google about eggs kept at room temp from local chickens, and that it was only store bought ones that had to be refrigerated due to different processing methods (USA). I heard that was fine, but if it's an increased salmonella risk, perhaps not? I wish you luck finding a nice secondhand microwave for a good deal
Chickens can also be vaccinated against salmonella, in the Netherlands (where eggs are usually kept at room temperature) commercial egg hens are usually vaccinated.
I wish Ann taught all of my classes I’d learn so much
I have learned so much from this video. I didn’t know about water and air chill chicken. I never even thought about it before.
I always feel it when Dave gets excited about being presented with edible food, even if it's unseasoned chicken. That man knows suffering.
Poor Dave 😁.
@Juniper Jade I think we can be pretty sure that the husband of literal culinary icon Ann Reardon eats very well.
I'm just glad he refused to eat the poisonous melted plastic cup....
It's nice to see that there are things even he won't eat, though :p
@Juniper Jade I'm sure he gets to taste test all of the good recipes Ann creates, but man, talk about a Russian roulette of food
With the air vs water chilled, I can imagine the air chilled would be just slightly easier and safer to fry since there is inherently less water. And even that is a stretch. But I am quite surprised how noticeably different the sous vide test was.
You are an absolutely lovely person Ann!
I am surprised. In Europe, Nutella is sold in a glas container not plastic. That would have saved you from the molten container, but not the burned smell. Love your vids.
quick and easy hot chocolate and makes the jars sooo much easier to clean for recycling. I'm genuinely surprised Ann attempted 15 mins in a plastic pot at all! RIP microwav
WOW! Didn't know that about the chilling methods or the need to chill chicken before this video. Really interesting! Thanks Anne!
In Germany, every Nutella glass is still made of glass. But also with a glass jar, the cake would be burned to stone after 15 min in the microwave
@Larisse Yep, that happened when I made tea once. The water was too hot and the tea kettle shattered. Ended up with second degree burns on my foot.
@Ju Cal Yes, we have also been making nutella here in Australia for about 40 years.
@Zhanna Fehling Total waste of plastic really.
@Rezinax It's more about the things in the glass from what I understand. If there's a tiny air bubble or any kind of particulate in the glass (like dyes even)...it can crack or explode. Unless the glass is specifically labeled as being microwave safe it's just best to assume it's not.
@Larisse tbf nutella jars have fairly thick glass walls, so they might be ok. Not gonna try it though
I think this video might be the only time I've heard Dave refuse to try something 😅
What I am surprised about is that Nutella comes in plastic containers elsewhere. Here it's glass and I was briefly shocked because I thought that you microwave made the glass melt
I love debunking videos!
About the eggs, I’ve also heard that you can preserve fresh eggs by coating them in oil. It was from an Extreme Prep-per show. They were happily coating their eggs in oil saying it prevents oxygenation and keeps the eggs fresh for years. Just curious if that is also an old time myth.
I think the egg information is great to learn, and to know for dramatic reasons.. but to practice it currently I would be hesitant. Definitely great knowledge!
In many European countries Nutella is sold in a glass jar and that’s what they are using in the tutorial. Still shouldn’t be in there for 15 min but the jar wouldn’t burn like your plastic jar did, because they are actually pretty solid glass.
@Orion 77 they're from Cyprus or at least their parent company is
@Anto I'm Greek and I've seen plastic nutella jars. But there are mostly glass ones.
@Eric I think I’ve heard about it before and I think it also owns five min crafts, correct me if I’m wrong
@leah_tard_ cyprus is located in the mediterranen sea and NOT part of the middle east. it's even in the EU
Would love to hear your opinion about the safety of eating the chicken that has absorbed the water with chemicals in it!
Thanks, I enjoy the way you explain things. Your videos are great lessons.
This video was so informative and easy to understand!
I'm actually amazed your nutella jar only melted. A few years back, I put a nutella jar in the microwave to try and melt the remaining chocolate (glass jar) and the foil on the label sparked and caught fire!
I love how logical, accurate, thorough and clear headed you are in a world full of false information and confusion.
On the topic of air chilled vs. water chilled chicken. I worked in a kitchen for several years and this topic was brought up at one point. We asked the head chef why he used water chilled chicken in some recipes and air chilled in others. His way of explaining it was to base your recipe on how the meat was chilled. Air chilled had a lower water content and was better for dishes that required it to be cooked in liquid i.e. boiled, sauteed or sous-vied. While a water chilled chicken would have a better end result when grilled or roasted, due to it being able to afford loosing some water. A good chef, as he explained, will take the preparation of meat into consideration when creating the dish. For most of us home chefs the chilling method is borderline irrelevant. I love the videos you make and just wanted to throw my two cents out there.
Love to hear from people who know their stuff
Interesting thanks for the info
Yes, I saw in a Heston video that a juicy roast chicken is made by submerging it into water for a few hours and cooking on low temperature (100-130) so it keeps the moisture. I tried it and it works.
Your two cents are much appreciated!
When you opened the microwave, my nostrils singed from a childhood experience. Crazy how it triggered that horrible smell and metallic coppery taste up in the nostril area
I tried Ann’s nutella mug cake and it’s really good! It’s super easy and tastes like a brownie w/ nuts!
What do we learn? Never leave your kitchen unattended.
7:43 my favourite piece of bad advice given in old books is from Mrs Beeton, where she advises to mix borax into spoiled milk to make it taste fresh again. Absolutely horrifying.
The world needs more Ann Reardons.
In the EU, it’s illegal to sell washed eggs and instead farms vaccine against salmonella. And since they don’t wash and remove the protective coating on the eggs they are safe to store at room temperature. Keeping them in the fridge just helps to prolong their shelf life.
@RaggleTaggleGypsy Ah, I see that I conflated aspects of the 2022 outbreak with the 2018 one. My bad. Change the 300 to 100 if we are referring to Red Lion eggs. The point does still stand though that these are eggs with intact bloom which if they were put through the preservation process shown here would wind up being extremely dangerous.
@Tinkerer Amusingly when you try to google this you mostly get links to a recent outbreak out from Kinder eggs!
In terms of chicken eggs I am finding reports from early last year with up to about 300 cases only 12 of which were in England but linked to farms in France or a packing centre in Spain. There has been a warning in the last 6 months to check where your eggs are from and being more careful with the cooking if they are not UK eggs due to the increase of eggs being imported from other countries due to the ongoing shortage.
@tea artist Yeah, that was my point. They initially were raving about how washing the eggs was so much safer, when the numbers suggest the opposite.
@Beardiemom Partly due to the lack of vaccination and testing, but also precisely because they're washed. Washing removes the microbiotic protection film that would usually prevent germs from penetrating the shell, remove that and you make eggs a lot less safe, decrease storage time and make it so they cannot be stored at room temperature.
@Rachel C. Washing actually greatly reduced the storage time and means you can't store them at room temperature. By default the egg actually has a microbiotic protection film, if you wash them you remove that and allow germs from the outside to enter the eggs.
Washing thus makes eggs a lot less safe.
Thank you for the upload Ann! ❤️
Yess, we love your videos! :) Nutella nightmare, who knew there is such a thing xD
Im a simple man. I see Ann Reardon I press like! 🤷♂️ queen always slaying 💅
I once caused a fire with Nutella in the microwave! I was just putting it in for a little bit to soften it to spread better, but I guess a tiny bit of the foil seal was still on there!
This reminds me of that time a kid at my high school forgot the water for his microwave noodles and accidentally set a microwave fire.
Nutella jars are glass in Scotland. I genuinely thought you'd melted a glass jar in the microwave for a second there!😳
Our smallest jars can be used as drinking glasses once emptied.
@MissDatherinePierce yes, they still have the gold foil sealing the jars. My number 1 fear when I see someone put nutella in the microwave!
Peanut butter jars used to be re-usable as drinking glasses in Australia; it's a great system, and I'd like to see it back again.
Makes sense
@StragenTheDragon I think the only thing that could cause harm with the glass is if someone didn't properly remove the aluminium foil on top of it. But you should see the sparks pretty much immediately. They do still have that, don't they? I switched to Milka's creme since they released it because I like it better, so I'm a bit out of the loop on Nutella.
All our small drinking glasses are Nutella ones too. We also have the Christmas ones with sweet red and white festive prints on.
Dave: it’s actually good! whose recipe is this?
Ann: mine
Dave: ah! of course! I like it! ❤
😁
Anne, you and your family are just so cute, I love watching you guys.
One thing I love about this channel is that it teaches critical thinking skills
@Aramati that’s a great point
A thing sad about this channel is that it's in English and most people I know that needs it don't speak English.
kk XD
So bad YT closed the comunity subtitles.
