Imperfect Foods is slightly cheaper than Thrive, but not as big of a selection. We love both! Also: small hydroponic systems are a great cost save for certain fruits/veggies
with the increase of price of energy recently, it would be nice if you would have add those costs as well. (at least for those products that you were cooking over night/long time – break/stock/beef).
But in general awesome ideas to start 🙂
Love this! Feeling inspired, thanks for sharing!!
Energy costs are missing in the formula, otherwise an awesome video.
the price on the stock is even better if you're eating the chicken first
Using Beef Heart would have dropped the price significantly & if marinated properly tastes exactly like store-bought jerky
And when making beef jerky I would advise you to cut off the fat, it's going rancid quite fast and that doesn't really taste great.
Now finally that I've seen your process I'm finally go and build a sprouting glass.
It's not even that store bought sprouts are way more expensive, they're also not always available where I live, especially not when I want them.
I like pre-cooking sauces and keeping them in the fridge, as cost-reduction comes down to energy consumption aswell.
So everytime you cook/ bake your carbs, proteins, vegetables you don't have to worry about that extra pan or pot.
Teriyaki is my favourite – super long-life and only gets better. I use garlic, ginger, green onion, equal parts light & dark soy, mirin, sake.
You inspire me. Made my first home made teriyaki last week. I did not know I can make my own sprouts….thank you.
You definitely need to try jerky made from chicken or turkey- the turkey jerky I tend to make for my husband whenever turkey is on sale andhe loves that marianted in the teriyaki sauce I learnt to make from on of your videos.
A couple of tips: For Jerky use the leanest cuts you can find n definitely marinade over night.
And instead of buying stock ingredients save Veggie scraps n things like Rotisserie Chicken carcasses.
Great tips.
Have you considered making biltong? It’s a longer process than beef jerky but I think tastier.
I make it with Worcestershire sauce, brown vinegar and biltong spice (I’m fortunate enough to buy the spice ready mixed)
Get some nice sirloin, rump or silverside steaks. Keep them whole. marinate the steaks in the Worcestershire sauce and vinegar mix with some spices for flavour – this marinades for 3 days. Turning the meat everyday and keeping it submerged in the marinade.
Once 3 days are up.
Spice the meat and leave it to hang dry. We use a biltong maker. Usually has a mini fan, meshed holes to prevent flies touching the meat. Leave the meat to hang for about 7-10 days. Depending on how wet you like it. After about 7 days if your eager you can slice them up and leave to dry out further.
Enjoy 😊
I do wish you would’ve elaborated on storing/preserving the jerky. Fattier cuts of beef like what you had shouldn’t store for very long, especially not outside of the fridge, because the fat can still go rancid. Otherwise, loved the video!
You can also save your chicken carcasses in the freezer until you have enough to make a stock. No cost then 😊
bread is so expensive 💀 in france its about 2€50 a loaf from any local bakery
I would love to use broths and stocks more but my family aren't soup people. Maybe a good idea for a video would be ways to incorporate them into your cooking that aren't soup?
Electricity costs money too 😅
lnvesting in crypto now shouId be in every wise individuaIs Iist, in some months time you'II be ecstatic with the decision you made today.
I was wondering about the sprouts. Can I also sprout pumpkinseeds of store bought pumpkins? Are they edible and tasty? Is that something for raw consumption or for cooking with?
I always clean out my pumpkin, have this inner discussion with myself weather to roast the seeds or not and eventually throwing them out. So seeing this I thought, maybe sprouting and eating them is an option?
Great video I enjoyed it!
Can’t compare lentils with other sprouts because the cost of seeds are the biggest difference. Lentils are very inexpensive. If you know where to get alpha alpha or broccoli seeds in bulk for a good price please add a link. Love your videos. You brought my cooking abilities to next level. Thanks!
Chicken stock saving tip – where I live, in Ireland, portioned chicken is a lot more expensive than full chicken. I buy full chicken, take it apart myself, use the carcass to make chicken stock! not only its cheaper to buy the whole chicken and portion it, but also you get free bones to make chicken stock. Sometimes when I need just chicken thighs, the already deboned stuff is significantly more expensive, so I buy the thighs with bones, take off the bone myself. if there isnt enough bones to make stock, I freeze them, and then make stock when I have enough bones in the freezer! So the real cost is only electricity and some veggies. Sometimes I save my veggie scraps and freeze them too, once I get enough of those and bones the stock is basically just the costs of electricity/gas to cook it and its super low waste!
you forgot 1 part of the price breakdown. and it is the energy costs. especiale here in Europe, with the verry high energy price, leaving the oven on the whole night is pretty expencive (i geuss 3-4 euro). than its not that cheap anymore.
Not even necessarily so much time invested since you can do many of these things simultaneously. Like the stock for instance, basically you work for 10 mins and wait for 12 hours so why not. 😀
2.25 for bread? Imma buy that shit for 1-2 euros. Is europe so much cheaper than the US? I'm from Belgium, not the cheapest european countrie at all.
Any idea how long the stock would keep in the fridge? Or would it be better to freeze and thaw as needed?
Seems like most of this stuff would be cheaper to just buy considering the cost of electricity
Don't like that film that much. I feel that taking into account only the ingredient cost is not right. In case of sprouts, it's ok. But bread, stock and jerky will require gas/electricity to prepare, which is not analysed. At least, get the amount in kWh. You still get savings, but for me, it's not ok to compare just the price of raw ingredients to the final product.
You need to trim the fat off the jerky as it will go bad very fast
Hi, do you rinse the sprouts each day
buckwheat bread is the tastiest, always buy it instead of wheat or other kinds. i know it's hard to find anything buckwheat outside of Ukraine and a few other countries, but trust me, try to find it. it's worth it
