Science Expert Explains the Difference Between Stale Bread and Dried Bread
Science expert Dan Souza explains the difference between stale bread and dried bread.
ABOUT US: Located in Boston’s Seaport District in the historic Innovation and Design Building, America’s Test Kitchen features 15,000 square feet of kitchen space including multiple photography and video studios. It is the home of Cook’s Illustrated magazine and Cook’s Country magazine and is the workday destination for more than 60 test cooks, editors, and cookware specialists. Our mission is to test recipes over and over again until we understand how and why they work and until we arrive at the best version.

Poor Joe!
Dan is the best
Stupid.
Poor Joe! First the cornstarch running, now this?
So all bread for crumbs should be slow dried in the oven or not? Confused.
I’m setting up a Go Fund Me account for Joe so he’ll have the resources to combat the PTSD he just got a healthy, public dose of!
Joe… it gets better!!!
So do recipes that call for stale bread (French onion soup, bread pudding, some salad croutons, etc) NOT want the bread to really absorb the liquid? I'm a little confused now.
Pour Joe he knew what would happend.
Joe won't be returning
Does this qualify as hazing?
He's pretty high up so I assume not…
Whoa, I just found Dan's doppelganger! On Youtube… SallyIsaDog! Likeness is bananas.
Not a fan of the head dumping, it added nothing but a distraction to the video. Disrespectful to Joe, as if he is not an equal.
Poor Joe. And we all know Dan is a sweetheart. So hopefully v soon, Dan will let Joe have a speaking role in one of his video shorts. Guy deserves it 🙂
Am I the only that wonders why the bread turns green/blue after absorbing water? That seems like a bigger issue to me.
Joe blink if you're there under duress
This was creepy
Now we know how ATK initiates new chefs to the kitchen. Lol. Joe should get a raise.
Why are you always so mean to Joe?
Joe has had to do several takes.
Poor Joe.
Hazing the new intern…
Joe? deserves a special spot to show his stuff..?
Demos are a key part of scientific education, thanks for incorporating them into your videos!
“Science expert”
Dan, why Joe? Why not Bridget? (Hope the spelling of her name is correct). 🤞🏻
Ok, but if Joe had secretly swapped beakers…
Poor Joe!
😆
If I was Joe, I would have thrown my oven mitts on the floor.
Joe is a TROOPER. Way to commit to the bit, sir!
This is a masterpiece. Put it in the Louvre.
Some hazing going on over at ATK
Good video, but you’re a bad person. Joe deserved better.
Presumably ATK pays bonuses for hazardous duty.
Joe doesn't even bother pretending he doesn't know what's about to happen. He just wants to cook, man. Let joe cook, Dan,
All for the science Joe.
Fun
We need a playlist of all Joe's suffering
Theatrics like hazing your culinary help by dumping bread sludge on their head is not why I watch America's Test Kitchen.
Lol. Looks like Joe must be the new kid…
Came here for a quick science lesson from Dan. Left feeling bad for our homeboy, Joe.
That's so degrading.
can you take stale bread and bake it to get the same dryness as the oven-dried bread? Would there be any benefit to this?
why did they dye it blue?
Interesting info as always. May I request a segment on air fryer recipes.
Was that really necessary? You could've just inverted these on the counter. Or do we look so stupid to you that you felt the necessity to regale us with such antics?
One of those get off my lawn moments
Poor Joe. He must want that job really bad. Joe, don't volunteer to be the test subject on which pan holds the heat best or which knife is the sharpest.
