The Perfect Gravy (redo)

[Infektweeto]

isnt it cheaper if you just buy a box of gravy granules?

[dalton75757]

nice cup



[purplkoala]

I am sure there were people who complained about julia's double dipping but back then, she was on tv, not the internet. lol

[purplkoala]

actually triple dipping. lol. if your cooking for your family, maybe ok, but not if your having company.. LOL.... he does it almost the same way I do. That water and flour HAVE to be mixed well and you have to stir while pouring it into the pan or it will clump. he should mention that if your having company, don't double dip.

[Stereotypeblackguy]

so what if he double dipped -_- there is more bacteria in the gravy, dip, salsa or what ever than your mouth could ever give

[defiythelie]

@Stereotypeblackguy LOL. A human bite contains enough harmful bacteria to kill another human with out antibiotic treatment.

[arconin]

@defiythelie look up Mythbusters - Double Dipping

[malikagirl]

Can I use drippings from the cooked turkey?

[jamielynnp24]

Why does anyone care that he double dipped? It's not like you are going to be the one eating it anyway. Sure, maybe it's not the "correct" thing to do, but like he said, he is in his kitchen so he gets to do it. Plus, I saw a video where Julia Child was tasting something. She sipped a bit of it, and put the rest of it back in the pot. It is the beef bourguignon recipe at about 35 seconds into it. If Julia Child can get away with it, I am sure it is okay for Jack to do it!

[0oo00oo000ooo]

@jamielynnp24 Because, no matter how clean you think your mouth is, you can make somebody VERY sick doing that. If you are okay with that so be it, but he is running a show, teaching people... He cannot be teaching people that is okay.

[jamielynnp24]

@0oo00oo000ooo I watched this video again. You are right. Someone could get VERY ill. How dare he teach people to double dip. I think this video should be taken down immediately! What if all 11,000 or so people that have watched this have double dipped? We must contact the CDC AT ONCE! What if all of this double dipping has caused an epidemic of some sort? Eeeek!

[jyh132]

Are there any alternatives for the meat drippings?

[Shawnoo7Fra]

What is funny is that they sell it everywhere in Quebec XD

[thethatdude98]

whats drippings? does it work without?

[sacraficialangel7]

@thethatdude98 dripping is the fat that drips off cooked meat

[sacraficialangel7]

@thethatdude98 well, fat and juices - it turns into jelly when it cools, and is usually quite salty

[Enriquegg]

hi jack, my native language is not english so i dont really understand what you mean by chicken drips and stock, can you explain me please?

[DamianNeate]

correct me if im wrong, but wouldnt removing the fat from the chicken drippings be throwing away some lovely flavour? Just a thought.

everything else was fantastic, 10/10 jack!

love from australia!

[elgindn]

To complain about Jack putting the spoon in after tasting is probably one of the most ridiculous comments I've read on this channel. It's quite stuck up if you ask me. The people saying this are OBVIOUSLY not home cooks, otherwise they wouldn't be complaining. If you had to cook for your entire family, taste everything, and do the dishes afterwards, you wouldn't say to use another spoon. I understand Jack...ignore these people, they know not.

[talktome828]

starts at 2:46

[Kazanu06]

Your dad never knows when a thing is missing.

[jakatak69]

@Kazanu06 nope. never does.

[mskarinasmiles]

@jakatak69 Lol. Same with my dad. I take like 20 bucks from him he doesn't even notice. Until I tell him then he gets mad O.O I'm only 12 Lol.

[coyotes3344]

Jack= my idol.

[EternityEdge]

is it just me or does chicken stock looks green O_O

[MrRombert]

@EternityEdge its like that cos the bowl is blue and the stock is yellow

[LeProphic]

@EternityEdge - Yes, the yellow stock in a blue bowl had nothing to do with that.

[CoolFooOnTheBlock]

DUDE U ARE MY IDOL AND ALSO SAVE SOME MONEY AND ʎɐqǝ ɯoɹɟ pɹɐoqʎǝʞ ɐ ʎnq ʇuop

[DamItt93]

@CoolFooOnTheBlock LOL i actually turned by head upside down like a tard to read that

[dougdabandit2003]

corn starch is soo much better for taste. i would suggest using that next time

[yevisha]

how's your diet going jack? are you still on It?

[xoerry101ox]

Dude what is solitary rated?

[mentirosienta]

[MarkQP]

looks good

[leeannnneeh]

I can't believe so many people are flipping out because you used the same spoon. Its YOUR kitchen... geez! Like noone else has ever done that. Its not like you are cooking for guests or a resturaunt.

I love your show, always look forward to your videos :) Keep on cookin'!!

[waynejawspp]

Looks great!

[faviv]

It's not like he spat on it... Jack, never mind the people

[jakatak69]

@faviv It just goes to show you that people are never satisfied. I even redid the video correctly and they still criticize. Oh well.

If they even knew what goes on in restaurant kitchens.

[Stereotypeblackguy]

@jakatak69 they probably do and live in denial and rather criticize good cooks to get the bad feeling about their restaurant

[ballietbran]

i want a copy

[yaoifangirl2009]

what about nook colors?

[jakatak69]

@yaoifangirl2009 right now only available on the Kindle App. If nook has the kindle app like the ipad, phone, kindle, ipod touch then yes. it can be put on the nook.

[enrikejs]

I'd love a copy! GO SPAIN!!

[SharkDude77]

you need more views mann

[Sakkuriru]

I'd love a copy.

[isabellerochefort]

I want a copy! Please!

[Jennifer8Music]

I want the copy :)

[Lillian0813]

Instead of flour, you can use cornstarch too in place of it. That way, you don't really get that raw flour taste.

[djteac]

@Lillian0813 if you let it simmer long enough, the flour taste will be completely gone.

[waynejawspp]

Dude, you look like a priest in this vid!

[THE76OHCREW]

hey, i like the new intro man! thanks for the video! :)

[neilsonlin]

can you use bacon grease instead of chicken drippings?

[ThiefofAlwaysNL]

*hihi :P

[Spazman100]

So.... did you mistake tablespoons for cups last time?

[jakatak69]

@Spazman100 LOL. No. I didn't have the correct information on how to do it. The person I got my details from was a complete idiot. :D

[silvRboLt95]

@jakatak69 The gravy you "messed up" looks so much better than this one :(

[Etimos]

AWESOME! :) Much better! Alas, you still didnt use a roux :( a Roux offers a nicer overall flavor than just a flour and water mixture.

Also, for nice creamy gravy, you can add milk rather than water to thin it out, too.

Personally, I start with some butter, a splash of red and/or white wine, a pinch of garlic, some chili pepper, boil off the alcohol, take it off the heat and add the flour, then add a bit of milk to thin, and finally the stock/drippings/oxo.

[djteac]

@Etimos oh yeah man. A roux is the way i always go. Well except if I'm in a hurry.. Anything tastes more awesome with a roux. And the smell is also so awesome... But it is also dangerous.

As a kid, i was so fascinated by that smell, that i sneaked into the kitchen, took a spoon and tried the HOT ROUX................... you only do that once in your live :(

[LarissaNicole1]

would LOVE a copy =)

I like your channel!

Keep up the GREAT work!

Larissa <3

[misspandarose15]

are you going to redo the magic bullet episode too PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE

[eheadrick69]

Jack!!! Love your cooking episodes. I see everyone else is commenting on the "spoon" issue, so i will leave that alone. My mom always taught me to make a roux with the flour to get rid of the flour taste. Also, you should let the gravy come to a light boil so the gluten in the flour will reach it's full thickening point. "Mamma" says this is so leftovers are not super clumpy.

Keep up the great work. Love the web site as well. Best regards from Kansas!

[candieyc]

@jak im not complaining! Still enjoyed your vid! Hope u feel better

[jakatak69]

@candieyc don't you worry. I appreciate it. I have been really crazy busy. luckily I work from home so I get to see my family no matter how busy I get.

[TehBoores6]

whenever im hungry i watch ure vids.. after that im starving =``(

[emil95haha]

It's so odd to me when you make the flour mixture with a spoon and all, because here in Denmark we have a general shaker kinda thing in almost every kitchen here that is made for making the flour mixture

[goodisgoog]

I wanna copy.

[gilboypogi]

JACK YOU HAVE TO REDO THE GRAVY AGAIN.WITHOUT USING THE SAME SPOON.

[jakatak69]

@gilboypogi Now that's funny.

Sure. I will redo again. Hold your breath. LOLOL

[Nicoledaly87]

@gilboypogi I don't see the big deal about him using the same spoon it's not like he works in a restaurant he is going to be serving this to his family or eating it himself

[gilboypogi]

@Nicoledaly87 oh thats why you look like an elephant.thanks for your comments ms.whale.

[rosieforst]

@gilboypogi really?

[gilboypogi]

@rosieforst really.

[hopper49507]

book please

[Velocigay]

I don't want a copy, I would appreciate it :)

[CurlyAce100]

I want a copy of the book Jack!

[chavitavb]

Wow amazing redo! YUM!

[xXxSanahxXx]

I'd love a copy! Both a romantic AND a geek here! :)

[TOXICFLOWZSHOW]

[MrJeanCuleTaMere]

for the poutine , you have to buy , what we call here in montreal , CHEESE CURDS (white) ! or if you do not have it , shredded mozzarela cheese...but curds is always better.

[M0nkify1]

I'd like a slice of pie?

[candieyc]

jack, u sound like you have a problem, you dont sound as cheerful as u usually do

[jakatak69]

@candieyc I was very under the gun in filming and editing and uploading. I had one day to do it all. sorry

[uberbigbread]

Do I get a copy?

[mrkrabz1991]

You got a plastic whisk! I'm so glad your not destroying your Teflon with metal utensils anymore. That was torture to watch.

[jakatak69]

@mrkrabz1991 yes. It's a silicone whisk.

[ArtisticwithaK]

I would love a copy of the book!

[ThomasBaluWalter]

The spoon test actually is called "nappe" in culinary terms. Swipe through the coated back of the spoon and watch if (and how fast) the sauce runs together again.

Also if you want to avoid getting lumps, let the drippings get hot first and slowly pour in the cold(!) slurry.

Either way your gravy might taste a little floury. To avoid that, make a roux and use that to thicken the drippings. There should be a lot of videos showing how to do that.

[jakatak69]

@ThomasBaluWalter thanks for the additional info. I still have tons to learn. I really appreciate it. BTW, I did heat the drippings first.

[ThomasBaluWalter]

@jakatak69 We all have to learn - all the time :-).

[frigginlikeliggin]

Thumbs up if ur the 301st viewer!

[ReFuseDaBomb]

Ill love you forever if i get a copy. :D

[hellokittycakeable]

I want a copy!!

[Hezzu2000]

3 dollars for a book? Awesome

count me in!

[winfr34k]

I'd so like to test this sauce Q_Q

[gilboypogi]

JACK WHY DID YOU USE AGAIN THE SPOON THAT YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH.FOOD SAFE JACK.THANKS

[jakatak69]

@gilboypogi because I am in my kitchen and I get to double dip.

[gilboypogi]

@jakatak69 thats not a good excuse.but thanks anyways for sharing.godbless and more power to your show.

[gilboypogi]

@jakatak69 not a good excuse.but thanks for sharing.godbless and more power.

[Shadmed2]

@gilboypogi I'm pretty sure that's pretty good excuse.

[BostonSecret45]

i love drippings

[CoasterReece]

I wanna copy!

[crazyperson3245]

quick question but in the states do you guys eat poutine too? or is just canada because i think in some restraunts in nyc they have poutine

[Delarius86]

@crazyperson3245 I'm pretty sure poutine is available in the northern states, as you're close to the lines things tend to cross over.

[jakatak69]

@crazyperson3245 not here in California

[boojwahz]

dude, your stove is immaculately clean.

[cayen1234]

because the gravy is still on the heat, the double dipping isn't that big of a deal. Any germs and enzymes will get turned off before anything nasty happens. Since this is being made for a home setting and not a professional kitchen this is okay.

[augyoung87]

i would love a copy

[ichangedtheworld]

Wow you learn something new everyday. I never new icewater got the clumps out of flour. No wonder why my gravy is always clumpy.

[hughesa827]

hmmm im gona have to try this!! nice one man

[Icarus19911991]

Holy crap the way you were talking about your brother I was certain you were going to say he passed away or something. Glad that's not the case, of course.

[jakatak69]

@Icarus19911991 LOL. He's really been important to my show. His ideas have made the show what it is. I just never thanked him and I thought it was time.

[Icarus19911991]

@jakatak69 Well either way, I'm glad that he made this show possible :)

[JustNess78]

so much better... great job, jack! =)

[CaptainSaul18]

TIP- I work as a cook at a mexican restaurant and If i ever use the same spoon to cook and taste i'd be Fired!.. lol

[jakatak69]

@CaptainSaul18 yes, but I work in my kitchen and I don't have to worry about that.

[madwiebe]

I'd be interested in the book. Can't wait for the poutine remake!

[ThorMaxx]

can you explain why you used ICE water vs room temp water?

[ratmq]

@ThorMaxx If you use Cold liquids, there will be no lumps....Science stuff I guess.....But it works. Cheers

[jakatak69]

@ThorMaxx room temp can still cause it to clump. The cold water does a better smoothing job. it doesn't have to be ice but it safer then people using tap water.

[Chromeo90]

I want that book! I love sci-fi books!

[klostertorv]

hello from denmark, i would love a copy of the book

[Rocdenindy]

Another good video. I would like a copy but already ordered it for the wife.

[jakatak69]

@Rocdenindy thanks you so much. You will love the story. I promise. It's called the Movie Lovers Series because it's written for people who like to watch movies. When you read it, it feels like your watching a movie and not reading a long book.

[TheJgchedda]

I would love a copy of book

[LeeroyAntiproduct]

so much better this time! you didnt use 5 gallons of flourwater this time! :D

[jakatak69]

@LeeroyAntiproduct yeah. I know. I am so embarrassed.

[ItsMeRuffles]

gravy with roast beef drippings is the best!

[Rovo188]

I dont wanna yell at you for using the spoon again after having it in your mouth.. Though its not really sanitary, that is not the reason why I would.

I would because saliva is a part of you digestion, and it will break down the binding you made with the flour!

I doesnt hurt to much though, but if you were to make gravy for the next day, it could break down the binding. Just a tip!

[bowersbros]

@Rovo188 Thats more of an issue if you use the corn starch, as Amylase (an enzyme present in saliva) will breakdown starch into glucose, making the gravy sugary and sweet, which could go either way, Make it taste amazing, or make it taste horrible)

However, if you did bring the gravy close to boil, the Amylase would denature, so you will most likely be okay.

[PidusVanity]

@Rovo188 He would need to drool several 100's of milliliters so that that effect could matter...

[Rovo188]

@PidusVanity not necessarily

[enrikejs]

@Rovo188 HOW'S THAT FOR A FUN FACT! lol

[Rovo188]

@enrikejs xD

[rosieforst]

@Rovo188 probably not enough to make a difference. and the gravy is just for him.... so there isnt really a problem with anything

[ZiguardXII]

I would love a copy of book

[robloxdusty666666]

I would love a copy of the book

[robloxdusty666666]

I would love a copy

[wonderblunt]

Jack just a tip have 2 spoons with U... 1 for mixing and 1 for tasting and never mix with your tasting spoon.t's like with chips and dip never double dip..lol

[DaemonTFO]

p-P Yay?

[djteac]

Is the thing the you had the whisk on specially for putting your whisk? Or is that just coincidence that it fits there perfectly? lol

[tech2kn0w]

hooray!

[heoflittlefaith]

noooo, beef gravy is the bestt

[lilawunder95]

Can I also order the DvD from Germany?

[jakatak69]

@lilawunder95 Yes. soon. We just signed for International distribution. It should be this summer or fall. I will announce it on the show.

[lloyddull3rd]

@lilawunder95 You'll have to ask Jack, but it is probably NTSC only. You need to find out if they have a PAL version. (I *think* Germany uses PAL).

[BcKalnas6]

Nice cup in the right corner :)

[XFierceWarriorX]

Now thats the perfect gravy ;-)

[hanehani]

MF SECOOND !!!!!!!!!

[WolfWoot]

i would say first, but blah
