      Are you thinking about celcius or fahrenheit? Because in fahrenheit, that's 140 degrees. That's pretty hot to touch, especially on metal and for the amount of time he was holding on to it. It's most likely TV magic that happens on food shows all the time, it's actually cooked but the oven was off and the chicken was just placed in there for effect.

      I realize I'm responding to a really old comment but still, I have to lol. I've worked in a couple of kitchens in my life and seen loads of chefs and cooks not use oven gloves or anything else to handle extremely hot plates and pans etc straight out of the oven. In culinary school this really old school chef told me not to wear gloves during dishwashing duty to make my hands get used to hot temperatures. That and getting burned over and over again lead to my hands being able to withstand a decent amount of heat, my wife is always freaked out by it when we cook together. And once you've spent as much time getting your hands burned in the kitchen as Heston has.. not a big deal at all to grab something straight out of the oven.

    richandiben 90 C is 194 F which isn't even boiling, those who work in kitchen a lot develop thick callouses on their hands from all the constant washing and exposure to hot and cold temperatures. Heston an experienced chef has many years of such exposure in his hands.
    Callouses are primairly made of keratin, the same stuff that deer antlers are made out of. If your callouses are thick enough you can easily withstand temperatures over 250 F for a few seconds.
    Not to mention the people saying 90 C are guessing. But I checked the recipe and the chicken was actually at 60 C, meaning anyone could grab it bare handed.

      @sarcasticstartrek7719 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That's why you do it at 60 degress (well, 57 degrees) for 15 minutes - that kills the bacteria. bacteria are just proteins and all you need to do to kill them is to denature them - same as what happens to egg white when you cook it - the proteins change and turn white - same for bacteria (well, not the white, I mean they change). It's perfectly safe *as long as* you keep it at that temperature for 15 mins or more. This is how sous vide works.

    I love how he takes the chicken out of the oven without oven gloves. It's so false.

    2:25 Are you sure? Chicken should reach 75°C for 2 minutes.

      What the fûck?
      And of course, you wouldn’t eat chicken that is 54.5°C cos it’s medium rare. It’s dangerous to eat rare chicken you know.

      Correct me if im wrong, but Hestons Chickens are slow roasted, and that means he set the tempature on about 60-70 celsius and that's about what a human hand is capable of touching.

      +Markus Meiner Right you are. The thermometer shows 60 C, which really isn't that bad to handle for a few seconds.

      Watch the roast chicken video that oven is at 50 degrees, he uses a thermometer that sits in the oven no the oven seeting itself.

    As much as I love Heston, and particularly his method of making roast potatoes, this method needs to be taken a step further.
    He puts the skins into the simmering water 'to add flavour'. I thought about this and realised that putting potatoes in simmering water simply leaches the flavour out into the water. It is FAR simpler to steam the peeled potatoes with a fan steamer inside a saucepan which makes them retain their natural flavour. From there, simply follow his recipe.

      Reasonable assumption, but if you've watched the full episode and other videos he did on roasting potatoes: The key to a crispy "glass" crust is to get as much starch out of the potato as possible before roasting. Boiling removes a lot of starch, steaming doesn't.

  • @kaisergrendel
    @kaisergrendel 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    The boiling roughs up the edges of the potatoes. The hot oil penetrates that fluffy coating and then crisps it up into a nice crust in the oven. Each step has its own function. Don't knock it till you've tried it.
