Listening to food can actually make you a better cook. Dan explains how to increase your awareness in the kitchen through sound …
Some of my sound cues โฆ pressure cooker coming to pressure, moka pot bubbling and blender quieter as nuts turn to nutbutter.
And when I hear Dan's voice, I'm at attention.
We want how to make Boston Brown bread
I listen for my housemate to be gone from the kitchen or even the flat so that I can have the kitchen for myself.๐
Clicked for the thumbnail. Stayed for Dan wisdom.
love you
I remember watching a video about the guy who makes all the sound effects for the Mortal Kombat games. I was surprised at the amount of food he used to get all of the gory sounds.
The chinese jet stove is too loud I can't hear anything and everything turns to a crisp in seconds.
When making paella, I listen to the pan to determine when to turn up the heat at the end. Also, not just sound, but smell. I wait for that little smell of burning and take it off the heat for a nice crispy socarrat.
This was fascinating! Thanks!
Love this on so many levels! Definitely my favourite episode you've made, Dan.
I've been teaching this to my kids and grandkids because I grew up with no timers nor thermometers with kids running around. YOU HAD TO LISTEN TO EVERYTHING IN THOSE DAYS. My Mother did, my grandmothers did and their . . . so on.
How about smells in the kitchen. I've also been teaching my next generations how to tell when something is done – by smell. I'm proud to say THEY GET IT. They get it all. My one grandson is really good at both. There are times when he has said to me "Grams, I think they're done." And he is always right. In my kitchen not just his.
Cool !
This video so cool! Plus I love the personality in the video!
Slightly different than a typical episode! I loved it! Great work!
You crack me up, plus you're combining two of my favorite things. Food and science. This is one of my most favorite YouTube series
Sharing this with my partner who doesnโt understand why taking to me when Iโm cooking makes me burn things. #listentothesizzle
What a fun episode!! THank you Dans!
Do smells next! I can't count the times I've been in the next room and smelled my food finish before I could see it!
Interesting! ๐๐ผ
browning butter is a big one. As soon as it's silent, I know I can't take my eyes off of it.
I look forward to the invention of smellovision so we can get the sequel to this episode. Seems like an episode on touch would be useful too–though we'd have to rely on audio/video to communicate firmess, heat, etc.
Yas! Smashing Pumpkins shout out!
Years ago, I saw a documentary where at a food lab, they did the blindfolded water temperature test. I was surprised how I knew when the water was hot. Ever since then, I've been listening in the kitchen. I've gotten pretty good at being able to tell when the temperature is too high based on sound alone. Nobody believes me when I tell them I know when my onions are browning from the living room. Now thanks to your video, maybe they will.
I make pasta frequently and can tell by the smell that it is al dente or close
I wonder if Dan likes the movie Flux Gourmet ๐
Fascinating, great job as always Dan!
What BRAND of red wine makes a good cooking wine for sauces and gravies? A bad wine or a wine that turned sour, i.e. wine that was uncorked 48 hours ago, can ruin a sauce or gravy.
What BRAND of white wine makes a good cooking wine?
Never thought about it, but by George, you are correct!
The View is beautiful. Tell us about the food that you have there. Friends that I have in Canada always get new and different food items from what we get in the States. They have cleaner, healthier, delicious options as well.
Very interesting video, thanks Dan!
That's so cool!
I listen for hi mam-mar that means my husband is in trouble for not keeping our 2 year old granddaughter out the kitchen when Iโm cooking ๐ก also when bacon starts spitting time to get rid of some fat from the pan ๐ฅด
Making Cook's Country's Paella for Two by Cecelia Jenkins. Listening for the socarrat! ๐ฅ๐
When Test Kitchen goes ASMR.
The most important sound is It's dinner ๐ฝ ๐. Thanks for another fine video. Keep them coming.
Lovely having some recognition! Thank you!, says Broadway sound designer Tony Meola. I was in the kitchen earlier and, with my loud exhaust fan on, realized that I could not hear the sizzle of my roast that I was browning. Very timely indeed.
Too much fun, Dan. Nicely done.
Again, Dan! Youโre fantastic with your knowledge with another video of surprisingly accurate bits of information laced with humor! Iโm hooked!
I don't even eat red meat and that ribeye looked amazing…. Great video!
Dan, marry me. Kthnxbai.
Great video
For me, browning butter is when I use my ears the most. Throw the butter in at first and it sizzles like crazy and then after the moisture in the butter turns to steam it gets quieter. When I can no longer hear the sizzle at all I know itโs close. Then just switch senses to smell for the nuttiness (and make sure to catch it before it starts burning/smoking/ruining your day). Boom, browned butter deliciousness.
Tap a watermelon to check how ripe it is and if it's set enough.
"To make the hyper-realistic sounds that we hear on screen. How do we know they're realistic? From watching other movies." ๐๐
Very few people on this planet know how realistic even 1 of those sounds is, let alone how realistic ALL of the sounds are.
The smoke alarm.
