Since the sorted team is pretty savvy about food waste, I would like to see some sort of offal challenge; using as much of an animal as possible and decreasing stigma on what are usually highly nutritious, cheap cuts of meat that can be used instead of discarded.
Barry for sure can burn water.. no one else is able to do 😀
As a water burner, I can confirm that you can indeed burn water
Only Jamie could ever burn water… -.-
I like that ben mentioned that the people who make these for a job do hundreds a day so the normals really just cant compare in terms of speed and efficiency because those are just things that come with time,
Source I make sandwiches in a jimmy johns and we are required to make the sandwich (including slicing bread mayo veggies meats wrapping and labeling) and in 30s which in your first 4 months just seems unattainable but I make them in 22s-25s on average and 2 of our older guys can supposedly push 19s on their best days
Edit: to note we arnt actually timed or anything we just get raises if we hit certain checkmarks like 45s 30s 25s(which if an employee thinks they are hitting those times they ask a manager to time them both for the raise and because we are all competitive ) and because of how busy we are we try our best to be fast for our own benefit
The best part of this video is when Jamie argues that you can burn water?
Not the water burning, but the smell of the hot metal is extremely unpleasant and what creates the burning smell.
"Closely held secret"….?…?????!!!!
I grew up and live in Taiwan. Xiao Long Bao is a general munchy you can buy off the back of a truck for breakfast. Have known the general method for years; as I was watching the beginning of this just now my Cantonese mom walks past the couch and says "They need to use cold pork fat", but soup works too. Also Jamie is correct, you need to combine the soup with the mince, but don't show the food processor to a professional, you will get the Uncle roger Hai-yah. Here they're also made smaller and meant to be eaten in one bite so you're not splashing around too much (ahem) (yes, I shamelessly admit to a mild "someone please take pity on the poor forigners" moment).
You cannot burn water. Water boils and turns into a vapor/gas, and cannot be burned. We can extract salts and other minerals IN water by boiling it to evaporate. A lot of time if you smell burning, it's your element, the pot itself, or the cleaning agent you used on said pot/pan. So no, Jamie, we appreciate you, but no.
Can you burn water?? LMGTFY! 🙂
You can burn water by converting it to hydrogen and oxygen….but when it burns it turns back into water.
No burning water on a stove but technically possible I suppose.
Yes, since you can burn the pan water is in, the water will absorbed the bunt flavor of the pan thereby making "burnt" water instead of boiled water
mikey chen should teach you
You can't burn water, but you can break up water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Hydrogen is extremely flammable, oxygen is needed for the reaction to occur, and the end result? Water…
That's of course if the burning happens in an oxygen only environment, in the open air you would get some nitric oxide as well…
The look on ebbers face when Jamie said you could burn water is priceless.
my dad's a chinese chef and makes (in my biased opinion) the best XLBs. Seeing the dough…the folds, my heart was beating uncontrollably fast lol
Next weeks question… Can u boil fire?
Does anyone know if the meal packs app is good for vegan/plant-based?
"We got some magic in there, but it's our magic, and noone really wants our magic." lol X)
Soup dumplings have become some of my favorite things in the entire universe. I have found one place that’s about an hour and a half away from me that is the best I’ve ever had. I’ve gone to fancier places, more expensive places, places that claim to be more “authentic,” but without a doubt this place blows them all out of the water. I regularly make the trip whenever I’m having a bad day.
NO! You can NOT burn water!! The most you can do is boil it. That's it!!
Well no, you can't burn water, but you can boil the pot dry. Also, if you're using an aluminum pot it can melt onto/into the element. I did not slightly melt a pot, I was the one to pull it off the stove.
I don't know about burning water but you can forget it and not have any water when you come back and a not so happy pot. Allegedly
Get Chef John Kung in from YouTube and tiktok!!
Burning Water- there was a pretty famous set of videos on YouTube where natural gas seeped into a water supply and people ignited the water from their kitchen sink taps. I think that counts.
Yes, invite 3 Chinese grandmas, let them show you their magic. Don't invite a trained chef and make a "normal" video for this one, make a chaotic one, full of love, magic and Chinese wisdom with them yelling how wrong you fold the dough
Jamie needs to go on his own from this book .
This video was brought to you by the CCP
Maybe ask School Of Wok? I don't think they've done a soup dumpling video, but would be an interesting colab
I know you can burn water. I once had to burn it when I ran out of kindling in my wood stove. It took a lot of matches to light.
You can burn water, trust me, im a scientist. I promise
I’ve made these at home 3 times now and it’s not as hard as it looks, granted I also make steamed buns regularly so I got some practice, the real secret is use a pasta roller to roll out the dough
YES!
you can "BURN" water – Boil it so long that the minerals get extracted from the pot and add a metallic taste – BURN WATER!
Of coarse you can burn the water, but then it becomes holy water, just make sure you burn the hell out of it.
