    I’m not sure what it is exactly but there’s so thing so different between this type of content (including his TikTok videos) and traditional food channels that focus on recipes. He focuses on cooking as if it’s an art and teaches the building blocks of flavors and techniques. As a home cook, this is the content that will turn me into someone who blindly follows recipes to a home chef!

      yes, he gives you the why behind the 'how to'. I would have rinsed my lemons lightly if he didn't talk about the wax that the grocery store puts on it

    I've just watched six different videos on preserving lemons and this was by far the most useful. Thanks.

      Agree! I made some preserved lemons 2 months ago based on another video and was wondering what to do with them now... I am making the gel! I also just used some pulp to make my hummus (ran out of lemon juice), and the taste of the hummus is absolutely special and yummy with the preserved lemon.

    Sad_papi, your content on TikTok is first-rate, your pacing is perfect-not to slow, not to fast and always SUPER informative. It’s SO refreshing seeing something other than dump-and-stir. None of the well-established content creators on here showcase the skillset you do, or if they do, they aren’t really using it that much. Like, sous vide is still cutting edge here. I think you are poised to capture a part of YT that is either ready to take their cooking to the next level, or will just REALLY enjoy watching how more high-end cooking is done. I can’t wait for more content from you on here where you don’t have to worry about keeping things under a minute, or rely on multiple segments. The one thing that I will strongly suggest for you to consider is creating your videos for YT in landscape orientation. One of the major differences between TT and YT is the orientation of our phone when creating and consuming content. Content on TT is meant to be created, edited, and consumed with your camera and screen in portrait orientation. YT started before our phones could make videos, so the ENTIRE platform is set up for your video to be in landscape orientation because that was the only way video was supposed to be shot in 2005. We luckily live in a time where our phones make perfectly fine video-you don’t NEED a dedicated camcorder, DSLR, or cinema camera to make awesome and successful content here, but the VAST majority of the successful content on here is in landscape orientation. Literally everything else else is gravy, the interesting intros, the aesthetically pleasing backdrops, the Lo-Fi Hip-Hop during slow motion b-roll… Actually, you don’t even need that in order to be successful here. Look at Food Wishes and a couple of the other OG creators. Heck, Kenji Lopez-Alt wears a GoPro on his head! Your content on YT can be a means to financial independence that TT will NEVER come even close to, but it’ll take A LOT of work learning the skills required for it, but if you do put that work in, you’ll be giving Andrew Rae a run for his money in no time, no doubt..... if that’s what you’re looking to do. If I’m correct in my assumption from your TT content, you’re a professional chef working your way to the ranks of the world of haute cuisine, but like most of us, you’ve had a LOT of time on your hands since February/March, and you probably reached for the app of your generation to get your feet wet. While it is possible for professionals, especially photographers and music producers, to have thriving careers on here while still being in their chosen fields, haute cuisine is TOTALLY different in the sense that it’s not freelance work. With freelance work, having a thriving YT channel can be REALLY helpful, if not a necessity, during the time you’re waiting for your next gig. I would think that this is QUITE different for other professions like line cooks and chefs. But, much like creating a successful menu, as long as your content is on point, and your planning is good, you’ll freaking soar! One of my favorite photographers on here, Sean Tucker, gained 100,000 subs with less than a dozen videos, spaced out 2 months from each other. And the only way he was able to do that is because those videos are immaculately crafted. So yeah, Sorry for the book I’ve published in your comments section, but I hope it helps in some way.

    Love how this video turned out! I like your Tik Tok for introducing new ways to use common ingredients and am excited to see some more in-depth videos on here. Just wanted to echo what others have said; the focus on individual and elevated elements that can be incorporated throughout our cooking is something we don’t see much of, so this seems like an great niche for home chefs that are comfortable in the kitchen and looking to take things to the next level. Cheers!

    On the use of lemons, this was amazing. I have a dish I’m working on that is a transformation on Filipino Pork Sisig. This use of lemons would be amazing in the sense that I can bring smother citrus onto the plate that is different.
    Could this approach be used for all/any citrus? Particularly Calamansi or limes? Thanks!!!!

    • @sad_papi2354

  • @raphas13
    @raphas13 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love your content. I’d love some more explanation for your thought process behind some stuff. When you made the blended boiled lemon, I thought “Why did he think to add sugar and why that proportion?” Did you taste it and it was bitter? Would you also add vinegar to make the gel?
    Would also love to see more flavor combinations with cool techniques like in your pea ricotta TikTok! Bonus points if you keep making these cool gems and espumas and stuff

    • @sad_papi2354
      @sad_papi2354  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      So the reason I add sugar is yes blended with the pith it can be bitter and also, pectin requires sugar and acid to thicken and lemons have a lot of acid already so by adding a touch of sugar you get your gel! Think like jams, jelly, and marmalade that’s all pectin!

    i have been boiling my lids for my whole life and so has my mother and grandmothers. how does it seal closed on the jar if it's not heated? all my old recipes say to process jars and lids ten minutes.

    • @sad_papi2354
      @sad_papi2354  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is important NOT to boil the metal canning lids or their rings. The extreme heat of boiling water can harm the rubber sealing rings on the lids, which can result in a broken seal and contamination of the jar's contents.

    • @sad_papi2354

      That was pulled directly from the manufacture website. I do know at some point the rubber compound on the lids changed so it’s not necessary. But do your own research
