As a pro you need to switch to metric and scale. 2% of meat weight for dry rub, and same 2% on total weight, meat and liquid for brine. I always do overnight.
Nice demonstration
This was fantastic. Thank you. I learned so much. I even went back and watched again and took notes. The equivalency between the different types of salt, and rule of thumb about how much salt per pound of meat is really helpful.
Great technical video…for that reason I don't understand why it does not use metric system. Saying that one salt is denser than other should really not be a case of 21st century
Go Lan
At 3:53 "…now that the salmon is seared I'll just glaze the top…"
Glaze it with what? Butter? Oil? Sugar? Lemongrass and caviar? Or a shizo, miso, truffle oil, gold leaf, blood orange, virgin dill collected by monks by the light of a half moon on a windswept plain of despair?
FFS. Poe AI can come up with just as vague a recipe as this.
Needs metric measurements
You should be saying "sea salt" not "Kosher salt". They are the same, but sea salt does not insult (unsalt?) the "unclean" people. If that makes sense.
It´s strange. So many people told me to never put salt in a marinade because salt would always dry out your meat. I was told "you never salt your pork (or any other meat meat) before you grill it etc. you use salt after. " so what is right?🤔
Not only great and useful content, but also I beautiful voice and great delivery.
I love the look of the wooden chopping board in this video?
Thank you … I learn a lot … Please continue … It is a <privilège> !!!
Wonderful info Lan! I love these instructional/informational videos that you guys do….very informative and well-done! Thank very much!
How long can I brine max? 1 day, 2 days or 3?
Salt should be measured in grams
INCREDIBLE! WE NEED A LAN LAM TV NETWORK!
KOSHER SALT FOREVAAAA
