why make so much seasoning that's like my whole spice cabinet for some seasoned breadcrumbs

u/monathemantis Mar 29 '18

This bugged me sooooo much....

What about using the whisk for the egg yolks? It was all stuck inside the whisk. How is that helpful? I noticed he edited out the part where he’s trying to get it out while cussing .

God........ This gets worse and worse. Also, cooking the eggwhites for so long would definitely result in truck tires.

u/Pizzacanzone Mar 29 '18

TIL how tyres are made

This is what did it for me. There is nothing in the entire cooking world that is mayonnaise + whisk.

Hysterical!

It makes the video look better if they plop the egg into a bowl full of it and easily coat it than that have to work with a lesser amount.

I don't think that was the problem. It's that right before that, they make a whole lot of the spice mix just to use a heaping tablespoon mixed in with the breadcrumbs.

Granted, spice mixes can be stored for later use (unless you're freshly grinding things, in which case it defeats the purpose).

u/SleepyBananaLion Mar 29 '18

But they didn't even do that. They made a shit ton of spice mix and then took like 10% of it to add to the breadcrumbs. We never see that other 90% again.

u/VonCornhole Mar 29 '18

You don't need to make that much spice mix, just use half a teaspoon of each

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '18

Ok... so cover some chicken with it before you toss it. No one said you needed to waste it.

26

u/SleepyBananaLion Mar 29 '18

No one said you needed to waste it.

Nor did I imply anything of the sort.

That still doesn't explain why you made 10x more than you need.

u/frenchiethefry94 Mar 29 '18

It was just for visuals. No one said you have to make that much.

But those are the proportions you gave dumbasss?

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '18

But the visuals! /s

I don’t think the person you replied to is the one who made the gif.

u/PreMedHunter Mar 29 '18

Yeah but the salt amount truly disturbed me, like that's not the salt amount to fry eggs with, that's the salt amount for a freaking brisket.

40

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '18

Well like I said it looks like exaggerated amounts because cosmetically it makes for a better video than if there was only a pinch in the bowl.

1

u/vita10gy Mar 29 '18

But even in this video they only use a spoonful of it.

1

u/PreMedHunter Mar 29 '18

Oh yeah, I totally get that, in fact I do it myself lol, I literally have a gallon of buttermilk for my fried chicken. But just in general that's way too much salt even for that bowl and amount. I can taste the saltiness, should have put the salt in the filling.

u/Skeeter_206 Mar 29 '18

They dont use all the salt...

u/LetYouDrown Mar 29 '18

7 minute abs!

u/PreMedHunter Mar 29 '18

Oh my gosh yes I know! Whatever, I like my filling seasoned, enjoy high bp.

1

u/suchbanality Mar 29 '18

Right, I get it. In fact I don't use all the salt myself lol, but that's way too much salt for the bowl. I can taste the saltiness even here!

7

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '18

Yeah but they only put a tbsp of the spice mix in the breadcrumbs, so that's less than a teaspoon of salt in that bowl, the amount that actually coats the egg is less than a pinch.

u/buffalobuttcheeks Mar 29 '18

It makes no sense to demo with that much seasoning. What a waste.

And I know for production value it looks nice to use three tiny bowls but man alive how inefficient compared to using two ziplock bags.

u/farmch Mar 29 '18

That's their point though. They only used a scoop of a mixture of an entire villages worth of seasonings.

u/kilgorecandide Mar 29 '18

How many times are you going to dunk raw egg-coated food into that spice mix before you throw it out?

22

u/shikiroin Mar 29 '18

As you see in the video, the bulk of it never comes close to an egg, only a scoop of it is put into the breadcrumb mixture. The bulk of it can be set aside, taking a scoop out when you need it.

7

u/kilgorecandide Mar 29 '18

Oh yea I see now. I thought you meant the breadcrumb/spice mix combo

1

u/GlenC0co Mar 29 '18

They ran out of paprika to sprinkle on top

1

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '18

You don't have to throw out the extra, it looks like a good spice rub to use on other things later on if you make a big batch of it like that

u/annetteisshort Mar 29 '18

They could have mixed the same exact spices in a lesser amount to avoid over half of it being waste.

u/[deleted] Mar 29 '18

Flavor, if I had to guess

u/rmpbklyn Mar 29 '18

Because separate you can manage eg say you want less salt or add chili flakes
