How to Cook Eggplant

[tucnasam]

lol ATLEAST USE OLIVE OIL! Fuck this Reciepe.

[ZeroAtomVE]

The salt is more to remove excess moisture so the eggplant is more flavorful, its the same reason you salt cabbage before making kimchi

[WigzellRM]

Lemme get outta here...

[itsmeaubrx]

wtf at first i thought it was how to cook elephant o.O

[THENOSAUR]

In philippines we slice it in half and fry . and then we soak it in vinegar

[preppychrisbou]

Eggplants loose their nutritional edge once they are fried in oil.

[SuperZombie74]

I get my eggplantfried to put it has the skin, its cut thick and diagnolh and its fried it batter

[eCarol98]

PUMP UP THE PURPLE PRODUCE!

[confusedmangalover]

is eggplant suppose to have a bad after taste?

[xChibinChanx]

Why does Gakupo come to mind?

Anyways, that's not even nutritious. It's fried, for goodness sakes. =_="

[frantahouska]

darling...you demonstrated unpropper way how to peel with knife = FAIL

[Laurengovern]

healthy my *clears throat* sweety, if you want it to be healthy you should grill it

[hoopin02]

i dont have an hour ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh?!?!?

[R0SS4N4]

NUTRITIOUS SIDE DISH?????? are you kidding me?? The skin is gone so goodbye to most fibers and all the antioxidants in the skin. Bunch of salt. And most of all eggplants are like sponges so they are going to soak up that disgusting oil

[TheAnna3F]

@ArtsLoverAnne13x then why are you watching?

[Laurengovern]

@TheAnna3F

Actually coconut oil is a poly-saturated oil which is hard for your body to digest, and not in a good way. Try peanut oil or a thinner oil. I personally love eggplant with a little oil brushed on top and grilled. That in a vegie based wrap is one serious mouthgasm.

[TheAnna3F]

@Laurengovern what are you talking about? I think you replied to the wrong comment XD

[awesomelyhumble]

@Laurengovern Coconut oil is INCREDIBLY healthy, it's the vegetable oil that is toxic. GMO canola, and the way it's PROCESSED with such high heat creates trans fats - which is the killer (literally). I would suggest to do your research on the two and see what the truth is. Any type of industrial agricultural oil is very toxic.

Also, what's up with peeling off the nutritious skin??? This video is not at all promoting health. Buy organic and keep the skin.

[Lynncou]

At the very least use olive oil or maybe try organic coconut oil. Also it doesn't need to swim in the oil.I got an upset stomach watching that oil frying.

[ThePassion81]

Slice, lightly season, bake & serve. Guess that would have made the video less interesting but the eggplant would have been healthier.

Seriously...an entire hour squishing it?

[Gr3gg228]

Less is better, No need to peel the peeling off. The purple peeling is good. No need for tongs use a fork, no need for a colander, use a paper plate (one less dish to wash), no need to put a weight on it for an hour, lol, thats funny. Cut it thin. No need to dry it...lol. Get a fork, a thin cheap steak knife, flour salt and pepper. Cut that booger as thin as you can slice it. I have found a small cheap steak knife does way better than a paring knife. Drain excess grease on paper towel.

[ThePassion81]

@Gr3gg228 So I wasn't the only one thinking wow that is way too many unnecessary steps.

[DoinDMG]

hate these ads!!!!

[tsubby]

eggplants with skin on are more tasty and delicious

[TheCandace018]

mmmm

[idkname657]

just boil it for it to be healthy

[rrolande]

Hi idiots. This is not necessary unhealthy.

If a healthy oil such as grape seed or canola is used, then it is fine. Vegetable oil I'm guessing not because it may be genetically altered. Either way the fat in it is healthy.

Salt is not bad for you. If you are exercising, salt may need to be replaced. Only when vast amounts are consumed in one sitting, such as fast food, then it is an overdose. A sprinkle on eggplant is fine.

[Jelloxox]

ughh.Im trying to lose weight and stay healthy..this wasnt what I had in mind when I clicked on this video...FUCKING HEALTH FAILURE.

[ririri009]

YOU KILLED GAKUPOS PRIDE ;A;

[rsusummoner]

I've actually freid eggplants with the skin on and had it breaded. It doesn't taste half bad; definitely better than raw or steamed eggplant.

[monrose7]

wow eggplant is a weird name in germany it's overgine also a weird name :P

i guess overgine is more french^^

oh the hell howcast always when i do something there is a video that fits perfectly :D

[IrishMohawkQc]

@monrose7 we call them aubergine ^^

[monrose7]

@IrishMohawkQc lol we do to i just wrote it wrong xD :D

[FakePriest]

You can boil em. And sometimes my mom roast em'.. I used to hate eggplant when I was a kid :P

[agapathus]

a very simple way to cook it is:

step one: cut the eggplants to half

step two: steam the eggplants

step three: one the eggplant is soft and ready to eat, put a little bit of soy sauces on it.

step four: eat and enjoy

=), simple and healty1

[zx1011]

aubergine-jeesh

[trimi38]

its called an overgeen...

[houndoom1234]

I love eggplant...if made correctly

[Biotoasts]

@houndoom1234 ME TOO

[DarkVillian714]

nvr tried this fruit/vegetable wat ever is it good?

[bee5120]

I like fried eggplant; really good actually with soy sauce dip :-)

[TehMightyLlama]

that is hardly nutritious.

its friggen fried.

and theres a buncha salt it in.

this is why america is fat......

[VloggityNick]

@TehMightyLlama Or this is why Howcast sucks?

[TheStingyGingy]

@TehMightyLlama Wrong. Americans are fat because they eat too many overly dense foods, loaded with salt, sugar and fat. This about the worst way to eat an eggplant. It's the preparer's fault, not the eggplant. It's fine if you bake it.

[jer415]

@TehMightyLlama incorrect

[ColdChiselRox]

I think that there's more than one way to cook eggplant. O.O

[victorcelmare]

you need : POT !

[jenniferinsanee]

WHAT THE HELL??????????

[MiffiMuffin]

@seygra20: This is exactly what I was going to say.

[seygra20]

Serve as a nutritious side dish? Its fried, and had the skin removed how is this nutritious???? No fibre

[Trelos1Epistimonas2]

@seygra20 you're right

[DunWannaTellMyName]

Bayngon ka bharta!!!!

[fleetingray]

LOL
