Kitchen Care | Basics with Babish

NOTE: I accidentally said olive oil during the cast iron seasoning - I meant vegetable! Only use neutral-flavor oils like vegetable, canola, sunflower, or shortening!

I love your glasses

Any reason why you use vinegar to clean your wooden cutting board as opposed to dish soap? Or is it just because of the size of your board makes it infeasible to rinse?

The kitchen was made for me

About cast iron seasoning: companies like Lodge sell products they call "seasoning spray". DON'T BUY THEM! If you read the fine print, it's just plain old canola oil in a spraycan, except it's sold for $15-20 dollars a can. You can just buy a regular bottle of oil for a fraction of the price.

"Whetstones are called whetstones because, well, you gotta get 'em wet."
No. Just. No. To whet means to sharpen the blade of a tool or weapon.
This is just we need right now. Some white-ass Brooklyn hipster douchebag with ZERO actual professional culinary experience who thinks he can teach the world how to cook. GTFO here with that shit.
This video proves why you are actually worthless.
You are the Lil Wayne of the culinary world.

kickass

Please, it's "whet" not "wet". "Whet" means to sharpen; "wet" means moistened with water. You do, in fact, wet some whetstones; but you also oil some whetstones, and some whetstones are used dry. The "whet" and "wet" do not share etymology. You likewise "whet someone's appetite" and do not "wet someone's appetite".

Is it me or i can see white or grey in babishes beard

How to season stainless steel pan?

I wouldn't use the quick knife sharpener since it messes up your knife. If your serious about sharpening your knife only use whetstones.

THANK YOU! That honing rod is NOT a knife sharpener! I asked for a knife sharpener for Christmas one year and got a honing rod instead. I try to tell everyone that they're not one in the same and no one believes me haha. Also, I thought you were supposed to use oil to sharpen the knife? Maybe either oil or water both work well? I haven't tried using water, but it does look like it works.

Just wondering if you could do a video on basics with slow cooking and prepping a pineapple ham or in general different variations and creations. Thanks my dude.

_Water_ stones want to get soaked in water. Some stones are much better served with a thin coat of honing oil, or even 3-in-1 if you don't have anything better.

Leaving the water on when ur not using it is a pet peeve of mine😬

Never use soap on your cast iron!

the moment the knife sharpener was used, i no longer take anything seriously.

I have a hundred year old cast iron pan. It has a so thick layer of seasoning that i basicly doesn't rust. (I accidentally left it with water in it a couple times.

Leaving the water running while not using it makes my heart hurt because I am a true drought tested Californian

I thought you're never supposed to touch soap to cast iron...

Essential Spices | Basics with Babish?

throwing money at the knife had me laughing

2:38 Thank you! 🔪🖤

Added to favorites! Thanks Babish!

Ew who would choose stainless steel over cast iron 🤦‍♀️

I use crisco instead of olive oil for the seasoning, is that a wise idea or should I stick with olive oil

No fucking soap!!!!
On cast iron

LOVED that Curb reference! 😂

babish vs gordon ramsay :thinking:

Please make some of the meals from the amazing films by Studio Ghibli!

Shouldn't be using soap...not because you're NOT supposed to but because its unnecessary and salt does a much better job.

Got a wok, didnt realise dishwasher would cover the dude in surface rust, steel wool aint getting it all off. Any ideas?

Can you do biscotti?

Why do people on CNclip like to leave the water running for a really long time?? I don't know if it is an American thing, a youtube thing or I just have the luck of finding it everywhere, but it seems that every person I am subscribed to really enjoys wasting A LOT of water.

is water have to be open all the time while scrubbing the pan?? i know you americans think that water is for free but suprise suprise is fucking isn't. Very low......

This was so satisfying oh my lord

YES! I want me some of them BWB fireproof gloves

salting the knife made me spit water out of my nose

Babish is definitely my current celeb crush.

Should i clean and maintain ... my life? ... nahhh

you never use soap on cast iron. jesus.

2:10 Please tell me that you did NOT just expose your knife to open flames, you'll ruin the heat-treat!!

"But no no no!" That finger wag! Love it!

I hit like the second I saw that knife in a spa getup =D

Actually whetstones are called whetstones because whet means sharpen not because you get them wet.

Can you do some indian food?

You should do 50 First Dates. (Waffle house, Spam and eggs , etc)

i think you should do a curry from the movie "Today's special"

Where’s Bread Part 2?

When re-seasoning cast iron, it is best to do many thin layers of oil rather than a couple of thick ones. The best way to achieve this is to apply the oil, and then use a dry paper towel to buff the entire pan, until there is NO shine left. This helps avoid the sticky thick coating which would be created by using too much oil. Repeat this about 5-10 times, or as many as you can be bothered to do - the more the better! It is also crucial to place it in the oven UPSIDE DOWN as this prevents the oil from pooling on the cooking side. Thanks for the great video as always Babish, I'm gonna have to go source some of that board cream stuff. Sounds ideal!

Babish is the type of guy to respect wood (if you were intentionally referencing Curb Your Enthusiasm I'm very happy)

Wusthof ikons are sharpened to 14 degrees not 17-20. those quick sharpeners are total garbage and useless not recommended at all. a decent Honing rod for maitenance and whetstone for resharpening. thats all you need. I am a prep cook and I use my knives everyday. havent had to sharpen my knives with a whetstone only honed them in the month Ive had my newest knives (lost the last ones) and they still cut pretty much as well as they did when I bought them.

Never ever use any soap or such on cast iron. And also whet stones, not wet. And wrong on grit.

Make the Sluzzle Wurst from The Amazing World of Gumball.

Can u make water tribe food from avatar the last air bender

More asmr please!! Loved it thank you :) great video great tips.

Do Green Arrow’s chili

Do a knife skills one

When he put the sound of the knife sliding on the rock felt so relaxing

You should make the giant pancakes or the gross breakfast from uncle buck!

You should try cooking the food dishes from the game Monster Hunter World.

Can you recreate foods from Spider-Man PS4? Specifically the dumplings, chicken curry, and Aunt May's Wheatcakes,

I really like using steal wool for my stainless pans. Works great as well.

WAY too much oil. You should try to wipe out all that you can, leaving a very thin coat. Not doing so leads to drips, a sticky pan and a "seasoning" that has not polymerized.
Hone before and during every use of the knife.
Hilarious that people go to great lengths to season cast iron and go to great lengths to remove seasoning from other metals. LOL
Why dilute the vinegar? It is already diluted down to 5%.

You should do Timpano agin.

What about heavy plastic cutting boards?

BACON BANANA COOKIES FROM BREAKING BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive never seen someone sharpen a knife like that, spine first on pull, on a whet stone. I've always seen, & done myself, edge first passes on the stone similar to how you used the steel. Whats the difference?

Please do the Seven Layer Salad from How I Met Your Mother!

Pls make Pie flavored pie from asdfmovie2

Do jelly filed donuts from pokemon

Babish you should make Bacon Pancakes from Adventure Time

Holy shit you just popped ny tingle cherry. All those ASMR videos didn't work but that knife!

I wonder if Babish would be interested in doing CBD edibles.
There's so few people in that neck of the woods it would be great to see somebody with such prowess.

The part of him cleaning the cast iron pan almost made it seem like he was cooking invisible food. :v

Do adventure time Finn cakes

You should do a video about what to do with leftovers.

Cast iron can be frustrating, cause you hear about how awesome it's supposed to be, while your eggs just keep sticking. Have to say, just buy Crisbee cast iron seasoning, follow the directions, & finally enter cast iron zen. Works on carbon steel pans too.

I haven’t really made an attempt at cooking but your videos are amongst the most entertaining and educational on CNclip. Subscribed!

Kent Rollins also has a really good cast iron care video. Check him out. It’s quicker and just as effective imo.

I'm still hoping for a cocktail basics part 2
...

Hey babish, you should make one of the shrimp plates from hawaii five-o

You call that pubg pan!!!!!!!!!!!

Consider turning water off.

I dont care how many of these videos I have watched. It will always be pronounced Bing-ing with Babish inside my head.

Ermergerrhhhd I know how to heal my sad busted up cutting board. Thanks Babie

Who clicked on the video cause pan is from Pubg

PULL THROUGH SHARPENERS ARE THE DEBIL *momma Boucher intensifies*

What do people use to rub oil into their cast iron to season it? ime paper towels and cloth rags always leave lint behind.

Great tips! But the open tap water bothered me throughout... pls be mindful :/

Oh baby that beautiful sound of the blade sharpening over that wet stone wink. Hehehehe, gets me going. Oh wait, here comes that rod! 😂😂😂😂😂

Hey Babish, when is the Basics Bread part 2 coming out? Would really love to see a sourdough one!

asmr... YES DADDY!!!

One question, do I have to do that every time with the cast iron?

You should do sandvich from tf2

You looking on clean with that beard.

I'm going too disagree with how you seasoned. You don't want to use a lot of oil. It should be a very light coat baked many times over. If you're getting drips off of your pan, then you're using way too much oil. Too much oil will make your pan sticky.
