No. It's very important to NOT lick your fingers. It's called sanitation! Don't listen to this guy... he's crazy. you want germs from your saliva getting into the finished product? It could get someone SICK!
Two other things I did, that I read in other recipes: (1) I ran a spatula around the top 1/4'' between the batter and the souffle dish - supposedly this helps the souffle to rise; and (2) in beating the egg whites, I used a slower speed, and gradually increased the speed, of the electric whisk - I did not just beat them at the top speed, and this method seemed to increase the volume of the whites a bit, perhaps.
fourth time's the charm, this one turned out very well.
I used less than 2 oz chocolate though, about 1.5 oz. of Valrhona bittersweet, and about 1/4 cup of sugar or less, not 1/3 cup. I used a 1qt souffle dish (in my last message, when I wrote 4qt, i meant 1 qt) and cooked for 17 minutes at 375. It turned out very well. Maybe I would cut down the cook time just a little next time.
third time, it's better. I cooked it for 15 minutes, in a 4qt souffle dish (last time I was undercooking it). It's quite good. Still, I want it to be even fluffier and airier. I had a souffle once at Chez Panisse that was even fluffier.
I've made this twice. The first time, I doubled the portions and used a 2 quart ramekin. But I think I left it in the oven too long, and it came out tasting like cake and not like souffle. The second time, I used a 1 quart ramekin and cooked for 8 minutes, but it was completely uncooked except at the sides - tasted like warmed up batter mostly. Also, it was much too chocolatey the second time (Valhrona bittersweet). I guess Also, the batter only filled half the ramekin, and didn't rise much.
Is it really necessary to use cream of tartar? I don't have any and I have seen recipes without it. Anyway if you don't use cream of tartar, what do you change?
please if anybody knows......... HELP....i cooked the soufle and it was delicius... but the soufles that we didn't eat i take it into the freege and then i cooked in microwave but then the soufle is not soft and wet inside????why????
I would say if you cut corners, it is not authentic any more. You say it's done the easy way, not the traditional way? I will go and see what else is on here. I am looking for traditional. Lots of other people get into theis short cut stuff. That's alright for them.
I watched this video about four times, just to make sure I got everything down right. Then, I successfully made my first chocolate soufflé!
I have a KitchenAid mixer, so I had to transfer the yolks to another bowl so I wouldn't get any fat into the whites, which was a little annoying. But just some advice for anybody that has a KitchenAid mixer, or something of the sort, you can use a regular whisk instead of an electric mixer. It's a lot of muscle, but it made my whites perfect.
just thought i should leave a tip, being a pastry chef myself with coating the ramakin in butter and sugar, not only does it do what he says but it also makes the souffle rise straight as well instead of being lopsided, also the technical term for what he is doing with the egg yolks in making them go yellow is called a sabayon which basically doubles in size when you mix the sugar in, be careful if you leave the sugar and yolk together with out being wiped as it is known to scramble.
He doesn't say what temp to cook this on, but I just tried it at 375 and it seemed to work out really well. Don't know I have never made it before so nothing to compare it to. The top had a super thin crust that cracked easily, middle seemed cooked throughout, however it remained extremely moist. It was quite good.
One of the most basic elements of demonstrating a recipe, is telling the audience what temperature to cook it at (and on what scale [Farenheight, Celcius..ect.]).
Also, he should have listed all of the ingredients at the beginning.
Including the fact that you need ramikins (or somthing similar) to bake them in.
you never change direction when you are adding egg whites into a mixture..it loses its fluffyness that you actually want especially in a soufle...thats what most people dont understand on how to add egg whites. they have to be added in a single directed motion. that could have ruined the whole souffle
@tynadiaaaaa nothing, except the egg whites won't whip as well, or rather, won't be as stable when whipped. if you're a really good pastry cook, you could do without it, but i wouldn't recommend it. it's like adding cornstarch to a sauce, you could make it thicker without it, but it's much faster and easier to do it.
I was saying that I didnt imagine it would be so soft on the inside since it is so fluffy. I wasnt talking about the salmonella aspect although it is something to think about. I have never seen it in real life because no restaraunt ever has it on the menu
it doesnt turn out too bad without flour. flour just adds gluten and structure. without it the souffle comes out more fluffy. although u gotta be careful cause it collapses a lot easier
Whenever I make chocolate souffle, it doesnt come out fluffy like that, what went wrong? Is it the materials I used? Or is it the amount of time/tempurature I baked it in?
Use a glass or metal bowl because plastic tends to absorb greese and other stuff. (Think the never ending orange post spaghetti plastic bowl). Be careful when you beat the eggs and watch dont take your eyes off of them and if you are new try using a wisk. It takes longer but you have more control. Start off slowly then build up speed using larger strokes utill the whites are no longer clear. Use room temp. eggs and a balloon whisk. Thats really all I can think of.

You dont mix the egg-white with the egg-yellow directly.

Your not beating hard enough. or you have yolk in it.
JJboy1992 1 year ago
There are a lot of reasons why it wont whip properly.
1. You accidentally put yolk in it.
2. You held the egg whites (the oil on your fingers was transmitted onto the egg whites)
3. You didn't use cream of tartar.
4. Your container was wet when you whipped the egg white.
It's a general rule to use absolutely clean utensils and containers when whipping egg whites and NEVER put fats into the mixture.
I hope that helps. :)

@animegirl3000: My utensils were not absolutely cleaned after the egg yolk. And jet the egg whites did whip insanely. 100 ml became 800 ml. ^^
