Gordon Ramsay - Baked alaska

[grahamepplett]

no because you are adding sugar syrup which is around 126 to 130 degrees, so it cooks the eggs by the time the process is completed.

[apboer]

Isn' t this bad for your health? Cause it has raw egg white in it, which could lead to getting salmonella???

[extrovertedthinker]

I've made a baked alaska in Alaska... It didn't look as good as his though.

[ChavoMysterio]

Maybe if Pineapple Sherbet was substituted for Vanilla Ice Cream, can the recipe be called a Baked Hawaii?

[DeNiroFan85]

I made mine with vanilla ice cream and madeira cake, soaked in a bit of cherry brandy liqueur, delicious (I hope)

[zacl79]

This guy is seriously incredible, would love to cook like him one day

[GladiatorShield]

i just jizzed

[BUDx2]

@2girls1filipino your a sick fuck

[KIMBMORE]

U dont have to.use a blowtorch. Ive made it before...PUT IT IN THE OVEN AND BROIL IT FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS

[trybalnet06]

his kids must be sooooo lucky

[stephens64]

Why stress he says about buying the cake. Then why stress at all, just buy pre-made baked alaska?

[Alkanile]

@stephens64 Never seen it. -_- I'd have more fun making it. :)

[BigKwell]

@stephens64 But it wouldn't be as fun if you didn't make it yourself.

[amanda60005]

do u know where can i watch these episodes in full?

[JewishNiggers99]

anyone else notice how golden the eggs are? free range eggs! i got chickens of my own they look like that too, unreal.

[possumshake]

Baked Alaska? Wow I'm moving there asap

[Sunnysilky]

When he laughs at the end I hope it's something the cameraman said and not the "merry christmas" because it looks demented.

[adamax08]

i dunno y but it kinda feels funny watching him bake stuff :/

[PoemsRunAground]

What type of cake was that? He called it syrup cake but i don't know what that is.

[hummmm13]

u r absolutely adorable!!!gr8 recipes..

[TheBigMcNasty]

damn, sick pouring skills, if i tried to pour hot sugar like that it would just run down the side of the pot and onto my shoes

[shadowremorse]

@TheBigMcNasty its your pot not your skill

[BlueBoulevard]

If that mareng had dropped... Oh wow:D

[MrSainity]

OMG, when he cut it in half, I just jizzed myself with happiness, god that look extremely sexy, I want one

[LadyFerret]

good job every home has a blowtorch handy : )

[ando1135]

@LadyFerret u could put it under the broiler for a few min. does the same thing. and no the ice cream wont melt, the meringue acts as an insulator.

[NachtCrus]

is it possible to do that without a machine?, i dont have an automatic mixer :/

[bookrazy]

I was starting to think, my god this looks great and relatively easy. And then came the blowtorch...

[idbfi]

@bookrazy using a blow torch is easy

[Domentonkli]

where am i supposed to get a blowtorch?!

[cyberyiyo]

@Domentonkli Hardware or construction materials store or ebay.

[CrashtUnBurned]

@Domentonkli I got mine on Amazon.

[N6600]

Even though I have not met him, Gordon Ramsey is such a nice guy. This Hell's Kitchen thing he does is all just for show, all done for a TV Show.

[MrChowTheTroll]

@N6600 I seen him in Australia once

[tonyt0ny]

4:15 most detailed shit evah for just cake-ice-cake

[Piggieelaydee]

i would love to try this, but i'm only sixteen and i can't buy a blow torch! ><

[gunnershooter007]

Chrismas...Done

[theanvilcracks]

At a first glance, I'd say this man does ALOT of weird drugs...

[chantimothy]

i made it last night.... gotta say... is amazing

[jargonsucks]

@chantimothy was it chunky?

[chantimothy]

@jargonsucks no is very creamy

[jargonsucks]

@chantimothy sounds great

[YoyoSquirrel]

Food porn at its best...

[thebruttimabuoniz]

Gordon Ramsay must be awarded with italian citizenship "ad honorem" for this cake!

the B'm'B

[chefkoo]

@thebruttimabuoniz Why would the Italians care?

[thebruttimabuoniz]

@chefkoo

Cause he's the best promoter of italian kitchen abroad, of course

[roxopolis666]

The comments below are hilarious!

[jonasldg]

[jeremynobigdeal]

[jonasldg]

@jeremynobigdeal o rly?

[jeremynobigdeal]

@jeremynobigdeal ask ur mum

[jonasldg]

[jeremynobigdeal]

@jonasldg I wanna lick u , babe

[jonasldg]

@jeremynobigdeal :o uuuuh

[jargonsucks]

@jeremynobigdeal please

[Crazyman1212]

i wish i was the camera crew, im sure gordan doesn't eat all these delicious items he makes on these instructional vids :)

[RadioActiveOreo]

I love watching him cook like this, not yelling at other chefs, not making poor adults cry, just cooking.

[shiknara]

@RadioActiveOreo yeah lol its more enjoyable and peaceful.

[Gauzl]

@RadioActiveOreo He also doesnt swear a single time in any of these videos.

[rossyboy1081]

@RadioActiveOreo I agree

[vinczedk]

Be catious about how much merenges you use to cover the ice. I just ate a huge portion - it tasted like heaven, and now I'm going up there because I think I'm gonne die...

[Hexinvir]

@RenWaldoVanVeenmol nobody else in the room to yell at lol

[RenwaldoVanVeenmol]

What's this? No F bombs? No violent fits of rage?

I feel let down. :(

[michelle13579123]

Sht I failed. The sugar syrup still had some water and the meringue was soft peak. I used it w/ strawberry ice cream and chocolate cake. It tasted horrible! :(

[michelle13579123]

I wonder why he keeps slapping his hand like that......

[daFranch1se69]

@michelle13579123

That's a part of his character, he gets nervous allot so to release it he slaps himself, its normal in a hectic world.

[mastereismaname]

"..just drop a touch of lemon juice.." then he drops the whole lemon. haha. he is so freakin awesome!

[tbursee]

looks good. when I was a freshman in college 20 year ago, I remember watching chefs make this stuff in sheets. It was incredible to watch.

[junebugsinjuly]

I made this and it was a disaster. never again.

[Makron5]

@junebugsinjuly You have to be quite quick, maybe turn the temp down in the kitchen a bit so you can work for longer. Also make sure you get an ice cream you like and a cake that goes with it on its own. Get those two to play and if you like get the meringue that plays with the ice cream as well.

[daFranch1se69]

@junebugsinjuly

Baking has its rocky roads, its up to the chef to keep surviving and doing it again. Listen every pastry chef has curdled a cake or over/under cooked a cake. But you still have to get back up and try it again. Never give up, NEVER!

[mzannie]

i want to try to make this for an upcoming christmas party, and i was wondering what type of nonalcoholic ice cream would you prefer for your baked alaska?

i've never tried meringue or a baked alaska, so i don't know if it matters or not

[itsI3arbiie]

What are the water an sugar measurements?& how can i measure them?

[alatha3]

If you want to freeze it in advance... Do you use the blow torch on it AND then freeze? Or do you apply the meringue and pop it in the freezer, and then blow torch before you serve?

Never done it before and I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for posting

Cheers

[eddiewongham]

@alatha3 Just apply the shape of the meringue, then freeze it. Then the day you want to serve it (don't forget you need to defrost the cake on the inside as well), let it defrost for a few hours at room tempreture and then put it in the fridge for about an hour to help firm up the meringue again. Then blowtorch it. Hope it turns out well :)

[Militantcheese]

Does he drop the lemon at 1:09 ?

[DaEncore]

Wow dat looks nicee

[MsBklack]

gordon ramsay makes me hungry 24/7

[TheVoidist]

lol 5:15 reminded me of the mashed potato scene in Close Encounters of the Third Kind

[CopycatAoW]

6:03 Cute xD

[magnusrulz]

if you need a blow toarch then go to dealextreme. com/ details.d x/sku.1320 trust me .. really cheap and free pastage..

just saying this because baked alaska is soooo gooooddd but not as good without some fire ;)

[magnusrulz]

[kingq101]

i thought he was kidding when he said use a blow torch, i was gonna laugh until he got one

i was like wtf

[Uppy999]

ive been looking for these types of gordon ramsay cookalongs. Thank you so much for posting!! anymore coming up the future? if so i would love to subscribe

[MightyRoy]

heston blumenthal's version looks so much better!

[znichelle]

I LOVE CHEF RAMSAY! I'M BEGGIN MY DAU NOW TO MAKE ME ONE

[MiiTuBe1991]

merry christmas lol wtf?

[michelle13579123]

WAit cant you use French meringe?

[Bennyboy65]

@michelle13579123 No you shouldn't use French Meringue. The Reason for this is because 1) French Meringue isn't as stable as Italian, 2) The French Meringue is raw and blow-torching it will not cook it sufficiently.

Italian Meringue is cooked by pouring the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites, therefore it can be eaten without any further cooking.

Hope this helps :)

[michelle13579123]

@Bennyboy65 AW!!!! :( My specailty is French Meringue. T.T

[yOsHiBrO]

@michelle13579123 More reason to learn new things =] then you can say my specialty is both french and italian meringue.

[PHANTOM1OF1OPERA]

what type of cake did he use? whats syrup cake? is it the same thing pound cake

[retrotw]

blow torch is not that hard to find...any hardware store will have them in all kinds of size too

[littlemissbosy]

i want christamass to come to make that though im pretty sure im not ganna make it :p

[borrowmemoney]

yukkk

[eviltin182]

[cronullasharks13]

@eviltin182 no, where is it

[ando1135]

@eviltin182 there goes one of his Michelin stars!

[2pacolicious]

everything was looking so nice and delicate, till he broght the tourch out and said.... now let burn the shit out of thise! lol... well he dint say it like that.

[strey75]

@borrowmemoney He isn't mean at all. For TV thats his chracter. Thats what makes his shows money. He is very nice off camera.

[XXWxwwxWXX]

This is the desert jesus would want to eat

[currytub]

Merry Christmas~ LOL

[whitbyjet65]

Slow suicide.

[GermAsianGirl]

woah.....he, didn't drop an F bomb xD

great recipie tho <3 love it

[chantimothy]

i would say this is way fucking better than christmas pudding.....

[XichigoX414]

lol at 1:11 he actually drops the lemon xD

[joemynes]

@XichigoX414

haha sorry to burst your bubble but he doesnt, he throws it from one hand and catches it in another ive seen him do it before when hes cooking!

[alice4jaz]

he scares me when he is jolly,happy .... scary

[KareKaren09]

He seems so nice when he's demonstrating. HELLS KITCHEN. *beep...beep...beep...." Awesome.

[WhyDoYouSuck90]

What program is this?

[eliten0Ob]

@WhyDoYouSuck90 My best bet: The F word

[whyeff21]

bad ass! now thats a desert

[LOVEAGENT7]

I want some now!!!!

[iLLyNada]

lol blowtorch ahahahaha this man never ceases to amaze me

[barkleysound]

where can you buy the syrup cake?

[Meatcake33]

lol i thought that the baked alaska was the fish dish! Hahahaha!!

[angizzzzzle]

you can tell he is extremely passionate about cooking..

:)

[xmisseileenx]

so if i were to bake this and store them in the freezer, when i take them out do i need to wait for them to defrost slightly? or can i just serve them straight away?

Thanks

[Alexandrious1]

Hey easy, easy !!! Whatever this guy does is perfect! Baket alaska doesn't mean you have to pop it in the oven. this is an old fashion style from 80-s. flambeing it like Gordon does is more easy and appropriate way of assembling this beautiful desert.

[cameosam]

@Alexandrious1 No he doesn't. it's called in search of perfection with heston blumenthal. He doesn't even come close to what Heston designed.

[KaeraUehara]

hmm.. weird.. he burn the ice cream, but the ice cream didn't melt..

[FlipSnipeZ]

he didnt burn anything, he chard the mirang but thats all

[kurtos79]

Mr Ramsey, where is the fruit and the alcohol from your baked alaska??and where is the baking?

[joesabido]

As he was doing the fork thing, I was waiting for him to break down and say "This means something... this is important..."

[PrincessNUN]

i was really looking forward to making this but then i saw the blow tourch at the end. where am i gonna find that man!! ahhhh

[macopoloo]

ebay!!

[NMC21887]

@macopoloo Broiling them has the same effect...

[pbsports93]

@macopoloo at any kitchen store you can find a torch for around $10

[philking58]

most normal cookery shops sell them... and you dont have to go professional, you can get them for about 10 quid just for use in the home kitchen! happy cooking!

[shawnandchrissie]

No blow torch ~ no worries. I make mine the 'other' way...5 minutes in a preheated 425 oven.

For a festive look ~ before putting it in the oven, I put half of a clean egg shell (as a little bowl) pushed gently into the top of the meringue. Before serving, fill the shell with brandy and light. Enjoy immediately!

[DaRkLoRdZoRc]

Five minutes in an oven? And the ice cream doesnt melt?

[shawnandchrissie]

It softens a bit, but does not melt. It get insulated by the meringue!

[nowadazeband]

@DaRkLoRdZoRc The merange insulates it

[joesabido]

You can find those in hardware stores or even in camping supply stores.

[aldexrey]

Most stores have little blow torches. Including Walmart. Your best bet however is Bed Bath and Beyond, Macy's or Williams Sonoma.

[1384450244679]

@PrincessNUN possibly a small one from walmart ?

[IkkFedt]

@PrincessNUN or you could just buy a stormlighter. Works wonderfuly ;)

[personxoxo]

@PrincessNUN you dont need a blowtorch. i just stick it in the oven for 1min on the highest temp. it cooks it well without melting the icecream :)

[GriffinD41]

@PrincessNUN you just put it in the oven on broil for a few minutes to brown the meringue

[LOVEAGENT7]

Any good store like Williams-Sonoma will have one .

[DeezilB]

@PrincessNUN can of deoderant and a lighter LOLOL

[DeeHong]

@DeezilB make sure it's scent free :P you dont want phenoix flavor axe baked alaska!

[BigKwell]

@PrincessNUN Better yet, look at your local hardware store.

[DeeHong]

@PrincessNUN I have the same problem too! I think it's just as fine if you skip that step!!!

[TheGiwraffe]

@PrincessNUN I know there is a way to cook it in the oven or even poor some rum on fire on top of the meringue and it cooks perfectly

[aldexreyes]

@PrincessNUN Macy's, Bed Bath and Beyond, Target, Williams Sonoma, Walmart, Cost Plus World Market. Ikea.........................

[DustOfNothingness]

@PrincessNUN there's a blowtorch and its fuel at your trusted hardware... the better the hardware store... it should be complete.

[HellzBellz1995]

@PrincessNUN your local hardware store

[soloman30]

@PrincessNUN

Hardware store, <$20

[BloodyGaaraOfSand]

@PrincessNUN blowtorch?? awww man i was just gonna use a lighter or a match. (a lot of macthes...but..)

[chefkoo]

@PrincessNUN You don't need it. As the name suggests, it's supposed to be baked. The idea is that the merangue and the sponge cake insulate the ice cream. Traditionally it's supposed to have fruit in it as well, in the form of jam.

[ikbenzwart]

@PrincessNUN i'm pretty sure you can find it at almost any warehouse. Dont know where you are from but in holland it is full of them

[PilotOfTime]

@PrincessNUN i think every hardware store should stock it. You can source for it. Hope that helps :)

[Klimakteriumet]

@PrincessNUN i bet it¨s awsome with out getting blow tourched in the end=P

[michelle13579123]

@PrincessNUN U find the blow torch at home depot or lowes

[Hwee101]

@PrincessNUN I think you can poor alchohol on it and light it, at least i think its alchohol, well the same stuff used on turkeys.

[peanutking242]

@PrincessNUN hardware store

[deraifu]

@PrincessNUN Wal mart...cheaper to buy a all purpose torch rather then a chefs torch and you can get many more uses out of it, since chef's torch can run out quickly.

[VeritasIncrebresco]

@PrincessNUN Home Depot

[bachboy111]

@PrincessNUN

a hardware store.

[malayrojak]

@PrincessNUN

I suggest searching for "8 oz Butane torch" on a serach engine. That way you can buy cheap 8 oz cans which are cheap and easily replaceable. In Japan there are quite a lot of them around.

Alternatively, if you don't have a torch, you can TRY to bake it (baked alaska?) and then put alcohol on top and set it alight. Got that idea from Heston's version.

Hope that helps...

[UKGUYDOWN]

@malayrojak Why bother with a blow torch? Just use a lighter or a match, like I did. Better yet stick it in a hot oven for 20 seconds. Works perfectly. GL with your baked alaska and merry christmas :D

[obocecha]

@PrincessNUN Hardware store or grocery store in the baking section

[Jeenymt]

@PrincessNUN Don't worry all you have to do is turn on the top grill of your oven or the oven really hot.. and then put the baked alaska in... watch it really carefull as the merengue will go golden brown very quickly! Will turn out beautiful even better than with the tourch! The merengue acts like insulation so the ice cream wont melt down... good luck! and enjoy it ;-)

[relazar]

@PrincessNUN You don't have to use a blow torch, set some rum on fire and pour it over.

[napoleanboots]

thanks for the video!
