The pickle segment was fun to watch. Keep up the good work!

You really cannot go wrong with Oneida flatware. I have a set that I purchased in 1999 that has held up to all sorts of abuse, including prolonged soaks in dirty water and some rather percussive abuses. They've held up beautifully. The cheaper flatware I went for my meat dishes was stamped steel and didn't hold up at all. Looking at getting two new sets to update my kitchen, and I'm definitely going with Oneida all the way.

I dont use grill brushes with metal anymore. one water soaked ball of paper towels on a hot grill followed by a ball with oil cleans and oils just as well.

@placeholderhandle99 22 күн бұрын

I'm surprised they're still using the metal bristle brush considering the risks of bristles coming off and ending up in food. I use a spiral metal brush (1 continuous loop) or wood scraper.

@sandrah7512 22 күн бұрын

The Weber grill brush was the most effective cleaner tested and ATK did not note any loss of bristles (with it or their other recommended bristle models) when they inspected their grills after cleaning - a caution recommended by the Centers for Disease Control - even when they went to town scraping the Weber on a concrete sidewalk. Recognizing that not everyone is on board with bristle brushes so ATK also recommended a coiled steel brush by Kona. ATK's full review of grill brushes is on their web site.

So much more to discuss about flatware than what they covered here. One being the quality of the steel. Another being the fork tines. Just to mention a few.

@sandrah7512 22 күн бұрын

In this episodic format, ATK is limited by how much of their 30 minutes (more like 23) they can devote to equipment reviews. The full and updated review on their website includes material information and consideration of tines. For some unknown reason, ATK did not provide a link here as they did when the flatware segment ran as a standalone

Aside from heft, balance, and edges of the flatware, the spoon head shapes matters. The more expensive one looked like the spoons were really round/wide, where the Oneida one was more oval and looked like it would be more comfortable.

How come when he says "we have a cup of liquid" it's clearly at 125ML but then it's also a 2 cup sized pyrex container? Are the measuring lines off?

@sandrah7512 22 күн бұрын

Keith was contrasting "quarts of water" in a traditional brine to the relatively small amount of liquid required for their brinerade. So 1/2 cup ≅ 1 cup (and that was a 1-cup measuring cup). Or he misspoke? Or maybe he had his colleague Annie Petito's (she developed this recipe) thoughts about doubling the recipe on his brain: "The results were juicy, tender, deeply but neutrally savory, and so versatile that I found myself grilling double batches (you can easily fit eight breasts on the grill) just so that I could have chicken on hand for quick, easy meals all week long." But likely just quarts=big, a cup (or less)=small.

@vincentbarba7038 23 күн бұрын

Presumably two zones; full blast and moderate low.

@sandrah7512 22 күн бұрын

“Really hot”, as Keith said. Aka “High”, uniform heat, no “zones”. From the (linked) recipe: FOR A CHARCOAL GRILL: Open bottom vent completely. Light large chimney starter filled with charcoal briquettes (6 quarts). When top coals are partially covered with ash, pour evenly over grill. Set cooking grate in place, cover, and open lid vent completely. Heat grill until hot, about 5 minutes. FOR A GAS GRILL: Turn all burners to high, cover, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes. Leave all burners on high.

Apparently the brand was carried by Bed, Bath & Beyond. It was discontinued shortly after this episode aired on PBS last year when BB&B when bankrupt. EDIT: ATK previous ran the flatware segment on YT as a stand-alone and there's a link there to their updated flatware review with their new favourite. It's based on the same review here, but acknowledges that the previous winner (and other contender from the same brand) have been discontinued.

You still use table salt in most of your recipes, is this because it dissolves quicker or because most people still use it. Would be nice if the app and website allowed you to change the salt type even better would be between diamond crystal and mortons.

Brinerade IS a real term - It’s a cross between a marinade and a brine. So, it’s got way less water than a brine does, and it’s basically a really salty marinade but with no acid.👈definition courtesy of The Frugal Girl. (August 21, 2019 article: The Best Chicken Brinerade).

“Instead of brining them in plain salt water, I spiked the solution with fish sauce. The soak would help the chicken cook up juicy over the hot fire, and the glutamate-rich fish sauce (I added 3 tablespoons per 1⁄3 cup water) would add salinity and umami depth without imparting a distinct flavor (as soy sauce would) or making the chicken taste fishy.” Senior Editor Annie Petito, who developed the grilled chicken recipe for Cook’s Illustrated (and ATK).

Also, somebody's got to do the actual prep and cooking providing recipes at various stages so entire production crews aren’t hanging around waiting for a roast to cook or ice cream to freeze, etc.
