The Zırh & Why Do You Need One?
İyi Günler,
Welcome back to What the Mutfak, the Show that will Keb-Up your life!
"Mutfak" means "Kitchen" and also "Cuisine" in the Turkish Language.
My name is Emir Ali and I am here to tell you about our cuisine, its millenial rites, rituals and philosophy in the most nerdful manner possible, trying very hard not to leave any possible gaps while doing so.
This is the second "Methodology and Equipment" video that we uploaded to this channel.
We did film it more than a few months ago now, so please bear with us for any technical mishaps, we are learning as we upload.
We also DO PROMESS you that this is the LAST non-cooking video we will upload in a while, a lot of content is coming and we are super busy editing them as we speak.
The Zırh / Zirh / سيخ - Siyḫ / قیمه کش - Qıymakeş is one of the most paramount equipments of your Kebab Kitchen, as without it you will not be able to do mincemeat kebabs of any sort.
It is widely used (although in slightly differing shapes and forms) in Turkey, Syria, Iraq and some regions of Iran.
We are addressing in this video the Zırh, how is it made, how to use it and how to care for it.
Hoping you'll enjoy!

      Probably not, mezzalunas are usually in stainless steel, they have a bevel and are usually very light in weight. Also, I've never seen someone use a mezzaluna other than for herbs, so I guess no

    I never cared about Turkish cuisine, but then I visited a restaurant in England, Exeter - Babylon. Oh, that was an experience. I love real Turkish food and am excited to see "What the Murfak" will give us!

    Thanks for the really informative video on the Mangal grill. In London, we have many Ocakbasi Mangal restaurants and you see the meats being grilled over hot smouldering charcoal! Our Cami's have mangals in them! I notice they have a cold zone and an active charcoal lighting zone with a portable metal dome to reflect the infrared radiation back into the coal to speed up lighting. The sights and smells are wonderous! Thanks again for the informative video, Emir!

    Amazing video. This channel is going to be awesome. The problem with Turkish cuisine is nobody is willing to tell what they very well know to anyone other than the people they work in their kitchens. Thanks to WTM this very valuable knowledge will live on forever.

      They built the “Mangal” on a trolley(that is the metal stand) so they can move it to wherever they need to use it.

    Thank you, I will build one this summer in my backyard. Finally a good explanation why I cannot make the kebabs taste same as in the turkish restaurant, although I buy the pre-made skewers from the turkish butcher. I always used the grill and they allmost always were falling apart.

    I wonder if one of those Japanese ceramic grills would work. I know they are not wide enoguh for a full skewer but they should be similar enough, especially if you can find a bigger one.

  • @WTMutfak

    Yes we know, the Mangal is also called "Kûre" (Кура / کوره) in some parts of Central Asia, like Afghanistan Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, which by the way also literally means "furnace" in Persian, which is the official language of 2 of the above, but in modern Iran, the word "Mangal" is used. By the way, there is a chance that "Kûre" is also of Turkish origin, "Qor / Kor" meaning "Brazen" or "Embers". Do you have a name for it in your own language?

    Emir bey merhaba, Harika bir konsept, fikrinize sağlık. Bence de Türk mutfağının temel problemleri bahsettiğiniz gibi. Bu minvalde global olarak yayılmasına imkan verecek şekilde İngilizce bir video üretmeniz takdire şayan. Yemeği kabaca anlatıp geçmektense, bir de üstüne etimolojisini anlatacak kadar derinlemesine incelemiş olmanız da beni çok memnun etti doğrusu. Sayenizde yıllardır yediğim bu yiyecekle ilgili birçok şey öğrendim. Müsadenizle bir de eleştiri yapmak isterim. Daha önce yine Alex'in videoları sebebiyle sizi görüp biraz inceleme fırsatım olmuştu. Belli ki bu ülkenin aydın, araştıran, entelektüel bir kesimindensiniz. Bunların hepsi bir araya gelince yüksek bir etki alanınız olduğunu da düşünüyorum. Ancak kanala yüklemiş olduğunuz ilk iki videodaki genel hissiyatım, -yukarıda saydığım tüm bu güzelliklerle beraber- yapmacık tavırlar barındırdığınız yönünde. Daha önceki videolarınızda sizi çok daha samimi bulmuştum. Zannediyorum çok kıymet verdiğiniz bir projeye başlamanın heyecanı ve kamera önünde olmanın garipliğiyle böyle olmuştur. Lütfen sözlerimi yapıcı bir eleştiri olarak kabul edin. Diğer videolarınızı da merakla bekliyor olacağım. Şimdiden ellerinize sağlık, Ve teşekkürler.

If i may add one piece of comfort advice: whilst sitting down the buttons of the blazer may be unbottoned (now it looks like it pulls alot, probably uncomfortable😅)

  • @seandiacono
    @seandiacono 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Thanks for the great video! I really enjoyed learning about the history and traditional methods of making lahmacun. But I have one suggestion, I believe you should be a bit more open to change, I understand that some variations of lahmacun may be considered blasphemy but without experimentation a cuisine would stagnate. Probably lots of people “broke some rules” to get to the lahmacun of today. Anyway I can understand your frustration when you see your culture misrepresented abroad. Looking forward to the next video!

    • @WTMutfak
      @WTMutfak 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hey there! Please don’t get me wrong, I am entirely open to change and all for evolving BUT what I resent is “trying something new” or “trying to improve” BEFORE knowing, understanding and mastering the original. After completing the above steps and only then, the “new idea” will be a constructive one, in my opinion. I mean I did come up with a lot of “personal twists” on a lot of our traditional recipes and methods myself, but it took me sometimes at least 10+ years to succeed in creating something that carries the same “balance” and follows a similar philosophy as the original and traditional I was taught.

    Hey Amir, great video! I have known you from a VICE/Munchies video, The real pot dealer, I so much love the passion you have. Always been super fan of Alex too and was thrilled when I saw you two collaborate. And now you take on my other passions of eating, and cooking, and "kebabs"! Being passionate about cooking too, I went through the rabbit hole of dough (bread, like french "baguette tradition", Napolitan pizza, ... Yeast and sour dough), I appreciate the info you shared From what I get the flour is close, or identical, to Manitoba or T00 flour, and so I am not shocked by the 50% hydration that is super close to my 55% for pizza. It is really too bad we can't share pictures, I would have loved to sharing pics of my bread, pizzas or Lebanese shawarmas... Man, I wish you all the best in all your projects and thanks for sharing with us! Bigup from Switzerland!

    • @WTMutfak
      @WTMutfak 7 วันที่ผ่านมา

      The flour we use here is around 13,6% Protein (I think you meant to post this under the “Lahmacun” video) and the one we use for opening the dough is a little coarser; but not as coarse as Semolina. The important part is that it should be unleavened and well rested. Thanks for the input, btw!
