Q: This seems like a lot of work. Can I just buy this somewhere?
A: You'd think so, but I've never found one that tasted remotely like real demi-glace. Let me know if you do.
Q: Could you simulate this stuff through some combination of gelatin, bouillon, mushrooms, soy sauce and some such?
A: I am intrigued, and will be giving this a shot.
Q: Could you do this faster with a pressure cooker / instapot?
A: I suppose, but I'm not into pressure cookers. More trouble than they're worth, IMHO. The time issue here isn't an impediment for me, since it's totally unattended time.
Q: Could you make this with chicken feet, instead of wings?
A: I would imagine so, might even be better, and would probably be cheaper. Chicken feet are generally not available in mainstream U.S. grocery stores (EDIT: apparently they have them at Walmart, see below), but you can often find them in Latin or Asian groceries here.
Q: How is it possible that the smells and fat could be so gross, and yet the liquid would taste good?
A: Lots of volatile compounds leave food during cooking, and fat traps aromas. That's why if you put some cookies in a box with something strong-smelling like mint, all the cookies will taste minty. The butter traps the smell.
Q: Did you steal this idea from Babish?
A: No. As I said, I stole it from Chef John. It was news to me that Babish did a demi-glace recipe recently. I've had this on the books for a while. This demi-glace is a crucial ingredient in the Christmas dinner I usually make, which I have scheduled for next Thursday. It really shouldn't be surprising that recipe youtubers would often be making the same stuff, independent of each other. Nothing new under the sun.
Q: Why did you post this a day late?
A: Factors entirely outside my control. Sorry!
It's all about the love you put into to not the time. I made a Demi-Glace recipe once and froze it. I used it for more than 6 months. Totally worth the time for that velvety finish. Added Roasted Carrots, Celery,Tomato, Red Wine and pureed it all down and strained it
… or buy some beef Oxo cubes. 12 for £1.75 from Asda.
This is the ultimate anti-vegan sauce
FUCK science.
I make demi glace quit often, because I'm a whole animal butcher and I get my bones for free. This recipe does not smell like dead bodies at all. It smells like a stew. Just go to Chef John's channel and skip the B.S.
Where are the flavors? No herbs no seasonings? I also don't get the bad smell references no red wine or port? I think I'll skip this one
Worried about bacteria then sticks finger on it
Excellent video.
Bloody disgusting!!!! most of the world is starving with children dying from malnutrition and starvation and you cook up and discard enough good food that could have fed 20 to 30 kids to make a pathetic pint of sauce. You have just demonstrated that you are a typical, wasteful, selfish, thoughtless dip sh..t. Bloody Disgusting!!!
cant be the only one who thinks this feels like a huge waste despite how good it tastes
7:09 a perfect example of how when someone says they’re fine they most definitely aren’t
why it smells bad??? it does not make sense
That is for rich people. I would never waste so much meat. That can feed 30 people. Or my house for 15 meals over several months. Nah
In England we just call this making gravy… and we get criticised for our food
Sorry, but that's not a real demi glace! U need to do the bone roasting twice, and use first stock instead of water at the second batch.
Smells like "dead bodies"? Are you buying your bones at a salvage yard?? No way does simmering stock smell like a rotting corpse. You're nuts.
how much electrical cost do u get 0o
These days this would be like a $100 batch easy
The waffle house has found its new host
If you reduce 12 hour simmering time by half it helps to get rid of the unpleasant smells you mention
Great video! Thanks very much.
What brand/model is your hot plate?
This is how magnesium glutamate is made
You didnt describe the flavor or eat … i wish we know
Please never say "daddy-glace" again.
WHAT products in the recipe were making this smelling bad?
Usually, neither chicken wings nor beef or onions smell bad when cooked.
Do you think it’s smelly because it’s not made with pastured animals? My stock never smells bad. It smells really good and I use the fat skimmed off to cook with, and it’s delicious. But i don’t use bones from feedlot animals.
Why does it smell like dead bodies? It’s cooked already
Never bring a stock to boil.
I'm confused re the difference between this and a bone broth.
Thank you
Food Wishes is the best.
Ot should smell amazing too. Not like death. Theraare french chefs rolling in theur graves right now
You deglaze with red wine
I make this all the time.. the chicken is a total hack as in the true flavor cones from the veal marrow and collagen. It will work.. but it will not taste the same
Can I use beef and pork?Also I do not have tomato paste, can I use ketchup?
