What does /ck/ think of Chef John from foodwishes.com?

>> No.15051778

One of the easiest internet chefs to watch and learn from, and his recipes are always winners. 10/10 imho. Also a big fan of Alton Brown for the same reasons, but they're very different formats. I don't mind celebrity chefs so much, your Jamie Olivers and Ram-Rams are fine, but I don't really relate to them at all

He's been falling off the past couple of years and he no longer holds my full and complete respect.

When he made that sponsored instant mashed potato video I knew he was a sell-out fraud. He didn't even add cayenne, probably because they told him not to.

I don't know why but Chef John is always supressed in the youtube algorithm. Like you have to search like crazy to find him.

My guess is that because his face is never in the screen youtube think the videos are bs or something.

I've learnt a couple of techniques from him. His videos are enjoyable and he has a wide range of recipes from around the world, but the two recipes I did followed from him turned out terrible. One was hot cross buns and the other was focaccia. I put it down to the inexact nature of measuring things with spoons and cups like a troglodyte.

Spoons are fine.
With cups you need to decide if you are using 2dl cups, or 2,6dl cups. Which opens up a entire nightmare if the recipe also has some other kind of major measurement, such as gallons.

Nah even spoons are retarded, a teaspoon of salt varies wildly depending on the grind of the salt

>> No.15052575

>>15051755
I like him. His camera always focuses on the food he's making and not his face like so many fucking attention whores. His videos are ultra comfy, he doesn't put any extra schtick in except for some of his corny sayings. Also his recipes tend to be fairly easy to follow and work out well. Him and Alton Brown are my two favorites.

You ask the guy who wrote the recipe anon.
A gallon is somewhere between 3,8dl to 4,5dl.
Not a big err, but it gets silly once combined with the 1/4 difference on cup measurement, or any of the big discrepancies between imperial cooking units.

There is a reason why in most Imperial cook recipes, you are limited to about 2 forms of measurement. With the smaller one usually being in cups.

>>15052550
Teaspoons is full on retarded
>The size of teaspoons ranges from about 2.5 to 7.3 mL
Image a liter measurement where one liter is 0,3l and the other is 1l.
Larger spoons are slightly better, but LMAO dessert spoon and dinner spoons are respectivly 10ml and 15ml. Your country has standardized itself to either, so there is a fucking 1/3 margin of error that works out until you need to add a lot of spoons.

>varies wildly depending on the grind
That isn't just salt. That is also
-coffee
-any kind of flour
-various sugar grinds, will be even be different between brands
-any kind of ground spices

I'm an extremely shitty cook, but everything I learned from him is a success. For example I couldn't make french omelette for shit. Then I saw the video where he makes it and suddenly it came out perfectly. Same applies for every recipe.

His speech impediment is annoying. I don't understand why, with all the chefs into world to choose from, they made the one with an annoying and extremely specific speech impediment a presenter.

His pronunciation and tone is clear enough that you can listen at 2x without random accent problems drowning out the clarity.
120fps cooking isn't that bad to watch either.
