How to Easily Roast Eggplant - CHOW.com

[kemptonjones]

Thanks for sharing this handy tip . . but what's that "Made in France" pan liner under the eggplant? Why are you using it, and would you recommend it to others? Thanks again Amy!

@kemptonjones It's a Silpat, which is a non-stick silicone mat. I highly recommend using one for baking things like cookies and roasting vegetables.

OMG the only reason I watch these, is so they can tell me "You're doing it all wrong"

@aloo20 Lol idiot

[aloo20]

@BlueBajs why the insult friend?

[BlueBajs]

@aloo20 You say skin and meat on vegetables you fucking moron

[aloo20]

@BlueBajs I've just never heard of anyone refer to the inner portion of a vegetable as the meat, maybe I'm wrong then, well anyway have yourself a nice day :)

[BlueBajs]

@aloo20 Yeah, you're horribly wrong

[aloo20]

@BlueBajs Thanks for informing me of that

[StealthTacticsClan]

@aloo20 lols the vegetarians that eat this are monsters ._.

[PflGlace]

@aloo20 bothers me that you even posted that but makes it worse is that 10 dumb asses voted it up

[aloo20]

@PflGlace It bothers me when people comment on a year old comment, but oh well, take it as you will friend, I'd never really heard a person use "meat" when it came to the inner portion of a vegetable and so I made the comment. I wasn't trying to troll or hate, I love watching Chow videos on a regular basis. Have a nice day :)

[kemptonjones]

@aloo20 When fools rush in . . and here goes: personally we always refer to the flesh of a potato as "meaty" (or, otherwise), as well as certain other produce, be it fruit, or veggie. Great vid, isn't it? Happy Holidays from NW Saskatchewan!

[yo100ish]

@aloo20 the proper term for the white flesh inside a coconut is coconut meat so why complante

[guitarbumx]

if the eggplant is bitter, you should slice and salt it, then rinse after maybe 15 minutes, then prepare normally.

just a tip.

[legend101zelda]

Personally i hate eggplant, but none the less i like the video.

Not to get technical, but there's no smoke in your oven (part from the charred and burned parts and those are more a health risk than flavor), why is she calling them "smokey"?

Part from that, this was a good tip, thanx!

[CrashGames2108]

You answered your own question.  The carbonized skin is right up against the meat.

[silvike]

Not really, when I think of smokey I think of the result you get from grilling something over a wodden fire. The type of wood determines the type of flavour of the "smokeyness". The burned parts you get from roasting in the oven is not the same thing. =)

[CrashGames2108]

What do you think smoke is?

[silvike]

There's a difference in smoke and smoke. I'm sure if you knew how to cook or grill, you'd know.

[CrashGames2108]

Now you're just trolling.

[silvike]

What is trolling?

[Shivanah]

haha noob.

[electrobussterr]

Yes, we totally own that bitch.

[MrSupaDupa15]

yum!

[rudolph502]

That looks so nasty
