Those poor pies! The black and white film made it look like they were being attacked in a convenience store.
Great show s and people and recipes!😀😁
Do the same with a banana creme and coconut throughout the entire ingredients – yum ! Or those key lime cremes. The variety of anything creme is vast – orange, lemon, lime, kumquat, loquat, (apricot, nectarine, peach, persimmon, pluot, apriplum, and cherry cremes !) ….
You're mucking about with different blades. You have a smattering of CAKE blades and PIE blades. Narrow blades (without a serration) are for firm and narrow cheesecakes – not pies. You wouldn't use a wide and serrated blade for a narrow cheesecake – so why do it ! Keep the cheesecakes, and the medium-wides for the cakes. Also a cake blade doesn't need serration as well. So have the medium-wides with no serrrations for the fluffy and moist cakes. It is the most-wide blades with serrations that are used with the various textures and crusts of loose and gooey interiors as pie blades. Re do the vid and have the proper blades for the proper use.
I never had pork chops on the grill
Sub milk with full fat coconut milk for extra flavor!
Try using Clear Gel ( the cook type) instead of regular corn starch. It doesn't break down like regular corn starch does!
One word! Charcoal
how much butter?
Thank you!
That's such a beautiful property. Every time I see it it makes me happy.
Didn't say how much butter or if it is salted or unsalted. I'm guessing unsalted and maybe 3/4 or 1 whole stick. Anyone?
Do a banana cream pie, or butterscotch cream pie some time! Please, please, please!? 😀😃🙂🙃😊😇
Thank you for your beautiful delicious recipe yum 😋 yum
I married into a family of very successful coconut farmers. Yet this is news to them! This will be a big, big hit here!
Can certainly tell two of you genuinely like each other – and, this pie looks devine!
Which recipes did I like? Yes! 🙂
Whipped cream??? It’s meringue all the way with toasted coconut on top.
Did anyone catch that pile of blood near the bone when she was turning them in the sauce????
That is an OK pie server but the key thing, especially for that first piece, is that you need some flexibility. You need to find something like the Lee Valley pie server which has a tapered thickness to the steel. Anything without that is really a cake server.
that loser is no pie server, it's a prison shiv.
I think incorporating coconut milk in the custard and coconut cream in the whipped cream would give this delicious looking pie more of a coconut punch. What do you guys think? Would the custard work with coconut milk?
That is not Bar-B-Que. barbecue is a cooking method involving hot smoke and usually low temps.
Sauce is irrelevant.
Seasoning is important and you had that but you grilled those chops not smoked them… it’s not B-B-Q
OXO really is your top brand in so many tests, they are doing a really good job. 🙂
I have been watching episodes for 2 days and haven't found a ringer yet. Thank you for all the testing so that what we get is flavorful and scrumptious: great recipes, reasoning, and instructions!
The coconut pie looks awesome! I want to make that!
Mmmmm the coconut cream pie looks SO GOOD!!!!!!!
Hi .I ju st found your video about coconut pie.i can't wait to try it .
don't like the black and white shots of testing. Looks like those silly info-mercials when they're comparing your prior life (black and white) to your newly improved life (in color)
Can you cook the chops in the oven? I don’t own a grill.
Is there a good way to process the cookies if you don't have a food processor? I have a blender but don't have a food processor.
Great recipes ladies. Also caught a glimpse of Lawman in the background 😍
@America's Test Kitchens Crumbed Graham Crackers with some Nutmeg, Cinnamon,and sugar with melted butter is how I do it.
@America's Test Kitchens Use Pumice to clean the Grill. Wire Bristle BBQ brushes have been known to leave bristles behind and get ingested. This then can perforate the Intestines.
Hello,
Sure do look good,
Wish I a piece.
When whipping cream you should not only use cold cream but also put your bowl in the freezer / refrigerator to chill the bowl which will make for nicer whipped cream .. Works on Meringue too
