Has anyone found the link to the video on when to add acid? 11:01
All the best for you
Amazing video
So useful , I enjoyed watching this
Any time I’m making soup, I add some vinegar. And any time a dish tastes too bland but I can’t figure out what it needs – it needs vinegar. Don’t think I could cook without it!
I use sangria instead of port when I'm making a balsamic glaze for meat. Then I'll add in some pulverized fruit depending upon what meat or dish I'm making.
Not if you're Filipino
Vinegar on ice cream?
Can substitute for massengill😅
Not if you're Asian 😂

My favorite vinegar, yes all types of vinegar. That chicken dish looks so good, thx for the tip of adding a bit more vinegar to the end of the dish. Something to remember.
That chicken dish is essentially just Filipino chicken Adobo, made with fancier ingredients and given a frenchified name to cover its true origins.
YES to the soft boiled eggs !!!🎉🎉🎉
A splash of vinegar with a touch of sugar is an easy way to boost the flavor of just about anything
Good
So I know I'm in the minority here. But vinegar, really? There are only 2 types that I keep around – Heinz white & Heinz apple cider. In my entire life of eating (40 years of it) vinegar has been for salad dressings & pickles. Does anyone really need more than those 2 types of vinegar in life?
I'm curoious as why the bottle of Monari Federzoni has it's name covered when none of the other brands do
I only use red onion to make salsa and guacamole and never though of picking it. This makes me making pickled red onion right now.
I always thought a great weight loss idea to add flavor to food is to put vinegar in a spray bottle.
“But is it really really good,…and $5.00?” 😂
🎉
I tried the poaching but 5 mins in the vinegar and water mixture is not long enough for the eggs to be picked up with a slotted spoon – the white falls through. perhaps because I used fresh eggs.
Great video, Dan.
In a Filipino household this is probably the most used ingredient in our kitchen
Don't Neglect other uses for Vinegar as a cleaning agent and astringent also medicinal applications..It's brillant
