Heyyyyy Everyone! Thanks for watching! Who keeps some powdered acids in their pantry? Who is going to go pick some up now? Love to see the interest in vinegar and lactic acid fermentation in the comments. If there are other topics you'd like to me cover, let me know!
Would love to see more videos about basic elements of cooking (salt, acid etc)
Yes, please, to vinegar and lactic acid.
We need the acetic acid video to drop
I just love your videos. I don't care what topic you choose because they are all fascinating. Ultimately you are making me a better cook.
One topic you could look at is tips for plant-based cooking. You knowledge of the chemistry of cooking allows you to sub in ingredients that can replace what egg, or chese, or meat might do to make a recipe more flavourful or successful.
You need to make an episode explaining and giving more examples on how to use each of these acids.
Talk to us about using citric acid in canning and preservation.
I want to learn more about these.
I love Hellmans, Michigander here, my crazy sister only eats Miracle Whip 🤨
Beautiful work, as always
Yes! Fermentation please
Grapefruit posset looks so good. Just had plum powder on a few items in Taipei and it blew my mind. Apparently it has the plum powder, salt, sugar and licorice. They have it on fruit, including dried fruits like raisins, and on airy sweet potato fritters, etc. It gets so many taste buds into the party.
I want these episodes! please. thanks Dan
vnear
Do Lysergic acid diethylamide next!
Yes, on vinegar and fermentation, definitely!
Oh! And fermentation.
More on vinegar! More on acids. Brilliant episode!
Yea…. How to eat acid is a totally different scene… more suited to a special event like say maybe Burningman 😜
lol
Ditto on the other acids!
Citric acid is a staple in my kitchen…and even beyond my kitchen. And if you read ingredient labels, citric acid, like salt and sugar, in eeeverything, from foods to shampoo to makeup. I use a mix of both salt and citric acid to sprinkle on avocado halves, it doesn't "sog" like lemon juice. And of course, dressings. And YES Dan, please do a video on vinegar, love that stuff!
I love learning from Dan and look forward to seeing more acid videos. Cheers~
There's something similar to posset we make here by adding lime juice to condensed milk. The texture changes instantly. I would love to make it with powdered acid.
Yes to vinegar videos, please.
yes yes and yes.
Completely appropriate thumbnail ready to fellate? #doucheFace #lemmingMoron 😂
6:37 Aww 😢❤
Please do all the videos on Vinegar and Lactic acid fermentation!!!!! PLEEEEEEEEEASE?????
The concept of lime-strength orange (et al.) juice has expanded my brain like a dune guild navigator. This is a life-changing video.
I would love exacting details on how these are made and from what. There's a big problem in the corn-allergy world where many are largely afraid of any foods with those ingredients because they may be corn-derived. Please please please shed some light on this. Also, how can one make this at home if they're a homesteading wizard? Thank you!
I ate some acid once…
FERMENTATION!!
Yes more acid please!
