lol ever using sugar in cooking for any reason (outside of pastries and desserts)a is wrong, you heard it here first folks

piratepilates posted:

Adding sugar when cooking seems to be a pretty common step in a lot of Chinese (traditional and westernized) and Japanese cuisine to balance out flavours. Adding sugar to pizza sauce also seems pretty common among respected chefs -- I know Kenji does it in his serious eats recipe for pizzas, and you can see him do it in a lot of meals (when appropriate) he makes in his videos.

yeah you see people using honey for balancing the acid in fresh tomato sauces sometimes, but i feel like that adds flavor i don't want and neutral white sugar makes much more sense

Kenji probably agrees it's ok to be lazy. At other times for his more elaborate recipes he'll say to use sweeter tomatoes and not add sugar.

People often add sugar because they have lousy ingredients or don't want to spend the time caramelizing things.

To be more direct, sugar in a pizza sauce means you are using inappropriate tomatoes. It's still a fine way to make them taste good.

Also I want to set the record straight. I reviewed the tapes and Matty added a metric ton of sugar to a tomato sauce for meatball sandwiches. Italian grandmas remain equally upset

Priya vs Sohla couple's "gingerbread" house match. :3:

Just watched the Munchies ep where Claire shows how to make a croquenbouche, and God, she looks so happy?

Kinda hit me, while watching, that we never really saw her happy and relaxed while she was in the BA test kitchen. She was always stressed and miserable. (Because they always made her do ridiculous things like "create obnoxiously difficult Gourmet versions of popular snack food", and often found a way to make her have to temper chocolate.)

It's nice seeing her happy and comfortable.

I think they also had a very tight schedule in the test kitchen. Probably much more lax as a freelancer since she can choose which video projects she wants to shoot.

She sure is choosing a lot though. It seems she's got a new video up every time I open YouTube lately. She does have a book to promote though so good for her. Plus she had a 6ish month break.

What I found interesting is how this new found house doesn't seem to have settled on him yet. I don't know a lot about Babish or watch much outside of his work with Sohla, but I found it interesting that he both was pretty self-aware but also awkward and apologetic about the luxury the house represented. The perfect example would be the black and white photo of Balthazar, he tries to both contextualize it and explain why it's important but then also undercuts himself by talking about how it was the second google image search. Was a bit of a strange watch.

The very different vibe between the two teams was awesome, too. Sohla and Ham going "yeah, we're just gonna make something that we want to eat, we're not going to actually compete with Seth on this, he's been preparing his whole life for this" and also Sohla's unspoken (almost unnoticed) "if I actually brought it, I would destroy this white man, and then Priya - my POC female friend - would have to deal with the fallout of that", compared to Seth going "yeah, I've been planning everything out for the past week and I have a chart for what goes where" and Priya going "I love you and I see your vision, but also honey, have you actually considered how long it will take to do all of this?" and trying not to smack Seth for having overreached with how elaborate his planning got.

And the cut between Priya going "they're going to cut from us panicking and stressing out, to Sohla going 'do do do'", to Sohla going "it's the final garnish~".

My impression is YT don't pay for poo poo, but sponsorship, book deals, and owning your own cookware line sure do. It's kind of hilarious how he flat out says the apt was barren before they hired some interior designer to make it look nice for them. He mentions how this is his 'first house' which makes sense given he lives in Brooklyn.

Eat the rich and all that, but eh, money happens to worse people doing worse things.

I don't think YouTube pays much unless you're hitting the kind of numbers his channel does. 8 million subs and a minimum of a million views per video will dole out a pretty good check I think

The way his channel took off was pretty incredible. 100k subs, then 500k, then a million in no time and it kept doubling at pace since. I figure most channels either never take off or plateau quickly, his has been a rocket.

From what I've seen if you have highly advertiser friendly content you make about $2500 per 1 million vers per ad shown. The sponsors help out a lot, and then more so merch deals get you that extra distance. Basically if you have the subscribers he has and your content is easily monetized then yeah you're g2g to be a multi millionaire.

The Dude Perfect channel is a great example of this. Millions of subscribers and highly highly highly advertiser friendly in the kid demographic = dollars roll in. From scoping out their collective instagrams, each one of those dudes is comfortably Texas Rich. Maybe not Texas Oil Baron rich, but rich enough to have a McMansion and all the toys that go with it.
