Thanks for the AMA!

I one of the things draw me to your videos how you credit people and cultures. Especially cultures. Not just you credit cultures but how thoughtfully you do it. I love you for that.

Did you go to the Barnsley Metrodome for a swim much?

Such a long time for one piece of meat. Yes, it’s museum quality, but as a single mom I see everything thru the lens of time to table for hungry daughter. I try to relax but I still get anxious. Please,someone, send Mr Kenji to my house!

Methodology seems flawed. You don't cook by controlling for temperature and cooking time, you cook by adjusting both of those as necessary to cook the eggs properly. If you adjust when you add the salt, it's going to affect how long you have to cook as well as the cooking temperature to get similar results. For example in this instance you could see that the pan temperature in the unsalted eggs dropped much more dramatically than the salted eggs: because the water was being released and boiling off. I.e. you'd need to start at a higher temperature to get more similar cooked results. More generally, I think to compare two methods for some sought-after property (or aggregate of properties), rather than controlling for the other variables, you should adjust the other basic variables as necessary to optimize the results for that property: give each of the methods the best shake you can. And then compare the results on that property. Another way of thinking about the same approach is: cook multiple batches salted and unsalted, against a whole range of values of the other variables (in this case, cook time and temperature), then array these and see if there is some clear observable pattern wrt the variables and the desired property.

I can't believe you didn't dip these in tomato bisque

I cook my eggs in clarified butter, so I don’t need to worry about it browning or burning

wonderful

amazing video, super informative!

I thought Wife instead of knife😂

Off topic, my wife and i went to the bay area last week from the other side of the country and we made it a point to try Wursthall! I got the hot chicken sandwich and she got the smash burg. Delicious. Big fan!

Hey, beautiful man. Sorry I missed this live stream. Thanks for all you do..such a great teacher. God Bless!

You're an inspiration Kenji, not just in cooking... but most definitely in that too 😅

Wet eggs are gross. I like them dry dry dry. No salt, if any, until the plate

Always and anything from you guides me. Sorry you can't drink, the beers in the YT's were fun to try to identify. Be healthy and happy please 🙂

What about Armor HotDogs?

Thank you for sharing your journey in recovery! I’m on day 139.

Kenji is the most articulate food instructor I have run across about how and why things are done. Kenji Lopez is the best food teacher on the internet. After watching four or five videos, my food prep skills have improved more so in a month than five years of other chef types on the Internet. Thank you..

What's the reason for the nails?

This is almost my exact recipe, but I add an interesting ingredient, applesauce!

I'm a guy but I'm happy relinquishing the first entry in your departing slogan. Maybe change it up a little!

I really enjoyed this! I am happy to support you on Patreon!

congrats on 189 kenji!

Would love to read the *anti-splatter* article!!!! Great talk.

I just want to say proud of you in your journey with no alcohol. I come from a family of alcoholics and I don’t see any good in it, some people live for it and can casually drink and some people can’t be around it period. When I drank I recognized dependent tendencies and I’m glad I married someone who wants nothing to do with it either. I lost my brother last year at the young age of 43 and his health issues are likely due to the amount of alcohol he consumed, you’re making the best decision for your family.

You're right up the street! Neat!

Love the AMA. Please do more!

Admiring your bravery here to share your experience with alcohol in a public space, Kenji. 678 days sober here, and I want you to know that I am proud of you and recognize the mindfulness that sobriety requires in a culture soaked in booze. I coupled my sobriety journey with walking 10k steps per day as my “meetings,” as I found my local AA options too God-heavy for my liking, but routine, persistence, pushing through guilt and shame, and enjoying clarity will enrich your life exponentially. Love what you’ve offered in all the time I’ve known about you - a lot longer than 189 days. Keep kicking ass.

I’m still using a cheap Rachel ray knife that came I. A set and I’m comfortable using it u just didn’t know to use a honing rod to make it sharper and that’s what made it more enjoyable. I’m not sure about the metal but when I see old grandmas using paring knives and they make amazing food it’s not exactly the tool, it’s more the user.

talking about cleaning hacks - I credit an induction cooktop with improving my cooking - because they're so easy to clean I no longer shy away from sautéing and oil splatter etc

Love you Kenji! Appreciate everything you do! I hope you and your family are well!!

You look really great Kenji. Good work !!

Third option no salt. How about salting them when they get to the table?

Thanks for being honest about your sobriety❤ makes me feel less self conscious about not drinking alcohol

When I'm looking to try something new in the kitchen or on the grill, my first stop is your RUclips channel, then Cooks Illustrated and Serious Eats, in that order. But... If I'm looking for Ashkenazi recipes, I start with Daniel Gritzer and if I'm looking to use my smoker, then I start with Jeremy Yoder. I"m glad you mentioned Milk Street, by the way. I'm definitely on Team Kimball rather than Team Bishop. ;-)

Hi Kenji!! A) Was your fingernail colors your choice or your kids’? lol B) Speaking of cleaning hacks, what is your dish sponge technique? I always think you clean very fast with the sponge and maybe I overdo my use of soap lol

Congrats on day 189! It only gets easier as you add those days. I've got a few years and man, time flies once you reach a certain point. I still keep going to my SMART meetings because I don't want to let down my guard too much. And I recommend the same to anyone who is in the early stages of sobriety. Find a meeting you like and keep attending. Also, if you're struggling, there are medications that can help as well. I firmly believe in taking all the assistance you need to stay strong.

Thanks Kenji! I could have phrased my question better but I got my answer regardless :)

Thank you If you ever come to Ottawa Ontario Canada it would be my pleasure to meet you

man, i tried this and it did not work for me. no idea how you kept the eggs separate and clean after moving from bowl to strainer to bowl to pot. i was very careful and noticed a lot of run off in the strainer, then when carefully moving to the pot, they were joined but i could separate easily with a spoon but the yoke was outside the whites it was attached to... so yeah might just stick to dropping into the water direct with vinegar :/

As an alcoholic who is passionate about cooking that was a great tidbit with the wine powder. I hope to get a handle on it as well as you have. Inspirational as always, Kenji.

When are you going to branch out East of Lake Washington?

No way! Been living in JP for a couple years and have loved every bit of it, glad you’re stopping by! Check out the pond if you haven’t yet btw, it’s really nice with the weather we’ve been having

Will have to try using powdered wine! My husband and I don't really like the taste of alcohol, but will still cook with it when necessary and having powdered wine sounds so much easier than keeping bottles around that we use only a few times and then go bad.

Just beautiful.

Sorry to have missed the live stream! Just wanted to say that you have been a huge inspiration to me! Appreciate all your hard work and in-depth analysis of various cooking techniques and overall recipe development. Thank you Chef!
