  • Nice demonstration and apparently a good technique. BUT - he didn't make a proper "beurre blanc." He made a beurre nantais as he used cream as a stabilizing agent. A proper beurre blanc does not use cream.

    Trust me, KFed knows his fatty foods!

  • Speaking with 12 years experience in commercial kitchens I can say that this is a fantastic recipe. Sure it is not the traditional Beurre Blanc but adding the cream is great if you need this sauce over service time rather than just making it a la minute. I make mine a little different to this but this is a great variation and I definitely will give this a go.

  • I love the idea of cream as a stabilizing agent. Im a self taught home cook, and I find beurre blanc one of the harder sauces in my repertoire. Sometimes it just separates and is a disaster, and as I usually make my sauces when I need them, ie when everything else is almost done.

    If I can make my chances of success a little higher, a little cream sounds good to me! And there was me thinking a beurre blanc was already one of the unhealthiest things I could cook already... Now where's that cod..

  • @COJred1 You're aiming to incorporate the aromatic properties of the shallots into the wine reduction. The closer to sec you get, the more concentrated these flavors become.

  • @KFED04 He's a CMC, there is different variations

  • i bet this guy likes the X2 cream haha

  • @COJred1 typically shallots aren't sauteed in a beurre blanc

  • @totallytravis white wine or champagne

  • very nice but you had too much beur blanc xd

  • What kind of vinegar is this? Sherry?

  • this was a good review video for me. thanks.

  • he says butter funny
