I didn't have a little knife as sharp as that one so I used a butter knife. I didn't have any oranges either so I used a plum. It didn't work out too well.
@foodwishes Is that Shun paring knife worth the money? I've been contemplating purchasing one because of the awesome steel they use, but they're *so* expensive.
I just tried it for the first time, it wasn't perfect, but I got to ask my future mother-in-law what type of orange that was, I don't want to use that kind again, it had another layer of fruit under the first and made it a lot harder.
Thanks. I never could pallette oranges, love the taste but the piff and membrane part made them (texture wise in my mouth) undedible for me. This works great.
He is using a Shun Edo knife in this video. They are a new line from Shun and are available from Williams Sonoma. I like them so much better than my Henckels.
Thanks! I didn't know you should avoiding the membrane once you cut out the first slice. My mouth is watering! The narrater sounds a bit like Seth Rogen.
Hiya Chef! Thank you so much for posting this! I hate the little membranes in the oranges that tend to get stuck in my teeth lol. Question: I made your recipe for caramel apple pie(which turned out amazing), but, the sauce for the pie was pretty watery for some reason. I followed every single step exactly as you had it in the video, but I have no idea why it did that. Any suggestions? Thanks so much again!
Im planning on making this as a dessert on sunday, would be like 1-1½ orange per dish, and i would pour on a little bit of chocolate and ofcourse some of the juice from the orange... Sorry for my bad english - But what do u think, would it be an okay little dessert :) ?
You know, I was perfectly happy with membraned oranges. But noooooo, you just had to tell everyone about orange SUPREMES. Now I'm never gonna be satisfied with just normal orange slices. I wouldn't have cared if it were merely for presentation, but those darn supremes actually taste ten times better. *Sigh* Chef John, you keep spoiling us all!
Love your vids, love your voice, love your recipes (I've tried several :) love your humor, love your technique tips! I'm always so excited to see a new vid posted, and I always show my mom (who doesn't have a computer) and she loves you too :D Even my husband and son enjoy watching some of these, and they're not even cooks--but they enjoy your humor lol
I have mixed feelings about this, I can see how the tenderness would be a bonus but.. I would have to eat the leftover bits after I was done! I love orange membrane, pith and all! I even eat the "core" I assume that to be a stamen?
Why is a pithless orange slice called an orange supreme? Is there some particular culinary origin to the term? The etymology of words always interests me, I hope someone might know.
p.s. Your intonations are the best part of the video. I still maintain you should perform voiceover work for commercial applications.
I just love your vids, but could you do one on the proper way to sharpening knives and how often you should do it? It would be soooo helpful!!!!! thanks..you're the greatest!!!! =)
he probably uses those supremes for recipes.. the pith & membrane makes the orange bitter, especially for grapefruit, so it might ruin a dish.. other than that, i agree you should eat the membrane for the fiber
