I appreciate these videos so much. I watch an episode on PBS and then I can look up what I missed! Thanks!
Fake review of the brushes. Ridiculous
When it comes to pastry brushes, I get mine
at Home D, Lowe's, Ace, or since I'm there a
LOT, Timber Woodworking. Even Horror
Fright.
Yes, single use paint/stain brushes.

8:35 Bridget with the reality check lmao
amazing biscuits and that chicken! dream dinner
I started getting oxo good grip products cause it constantly wins the test here. And I have to say they are a great company. All of there products are well made and always very well thought out.
Fun fact they actually started out specifically to make products for people with dexterity issues like arthritis. It's part of the reason they put so much thought and design in there products.
I love to hear Julia say, "Look at that"… I love that!!!! Bridget is so cool the way she asks those "teacher/student", "teaching/learning" questions/comments without making anyone feel stupid. I WANT TO MEET AND HANG OUT WITH THESE TWO LADIES AND HAVE A LAUGHFEST!!!! Dan and the rest of the ATK/CC/CI family too…
I know what I’m making this weekend – those biscuits!!!
theres a cleaning liquid that's good for getting stains off plastic that works on silicone as well. sorry cant remember the name, I don't use plastic or harsh chemicals anymore due to allergies, but it works well!
If you want a lighter biscuit try cast iron
Bridget: Chicken fat and onions…it doesn't get much better!
Lam: (adds 3 cloves of minced garlic, minced fresh thyme, and ground black pepper)
Those would be good for biscuits and sausage gravy! 😋
The breast is so thick and tender, so why is it so dry? Most people don't like the breast on chicken or turkey because it's so dry.
Why did you not brown the tapered breast pieces?
You guys are highfalutin big spenders. I got my brush at the 99 cent store. It works for what I use it for, egg wash on bread mostly. I'm interested in this filo dough. It's something like puff pastry but you do part of it yourself, spreading the butter between the layers? What is it used for beside baklava? What's it made from etc. This is not part of my cooking vocabulary
Anybody else ever notice how often Oxo products are the winner/runner-up pretty much any time they're in the running???
Let me guess, before they announce winners…OXO for the win.
Why does Lan sound like she has a cold or flu or allergies?
The only pet peeve I have w/ America's Test Kitchen is NOT offering to print-up recipes without PAYING for it w/ a paid fee to join!!! Love you so much, UNFAIR!
This episode doesn’t have as many views as it should. Every single bit of knowledge from the brining of a chicken to the brushes, and Dans Dream Biscuit is amazingly versatile. I would pay for this knowledge! I’m glad I don’t have to though!
Can you do a dry brine instead? Can ATK please respond?🙏🏾❤️
Off topic, but the girl in the background at 21:45 seemed a bit off put haha. Perhaps because they made her film taking an empty tray away (multiple times?) lol
I made these biscuits last night. Oh my Lord, they were wonderful! We ate them with a vegetable beef soup that my husband made. SO GOOD!
It's clear Lan doesn't get Bridget's sarcastic sense of humor. Lan is too proper and sensitive.
Just made these… oh my goodness this recipe is the one.
Love America's Test Kitchen. Thank you so much
Dan 💗💗💗💗
Totally making those biscuits
you guys are awesome! I love your cookbooks.
I love this opening!
These biscuits rock! Had a damn tasty breakfast of biscuits and gravy and the gravy took longer to make 🙂
As all great relationships are symbiotic, Bridget.
I love that ATK truly explores the science of improving recipes and that they are not afraid to challenge traditional assumptions about recipe methods/ingredients, like the warm cream in these biscuits! Got to try these for myself. Sound like a gamechanger.
Lol! "….you can ditch your family! "
Made these biscuits. They are insanely good…
Woah oxo didn’t win
