Q: This seems like a lot of work. Can I just buy this somewhere? A: You'd think so, but I've never found one that tasted remotely like real demi-glace. Let me know if you do. Q: Could you simulate this stuff through some combination of gelatin, bouillon, mushrooms, soy sauce and some such? A: I am intrigued, and will be giving this a shot. Q: Could you do this faster with a pressure cooker / instapot? A: I suppose, but I'm not into pressure cookers. More trouble than they're worth, IMHO. The time issue here isn't an impediment for me, since it's totally unattended time. Q: Could you make this with chicken feet, instead of wings? A: I would imagine so, might even be better, and would probably be cheaper. Chicken feet are generally not available in mainstream U.S. grocery stores (EDIT: apparently they have them at Walmart, see below), but you can often find them in Latin or Asian groceries here. Q: How is it possible that the smells and fat could be so gross, and yet the liquid would taste good? A: Lots of volatile compounds leave food during cooking, and fat traps aromas. That's why if you put some cookies in a box with something strong-smelling like mint, all the cookies will taste minty. The butter traps the smell. Q: Did you steal this idea from Babish? A: No. As I said, I stole it from Chef John. It was news to me that Babish did a demi-glace recipe recently. I've had this on the books for a while. This demi-glace is a crucial ingredient in the Christmas dinner I usually make, which I have scheduled for next Thursday. It really shouldn't be surprising that recipe youtubers would often be making the same stuff, independent of each other. Nothing new under the sun. Q: Why did you post this a day late? A: Factors entirely outside my control. Sorry!
Why did I just see a Babish video about Demi-Glace the other day? I know you plan these in advance, is this a coincidence or is Baader-Meinhof a supernatural phenomenon?
@Matthew Curreri 1) Georgia is on the Atlantic ocean. It doesn't get any further east; 2) Where in a normal supermarket do you see chicken feet? Frozen somewhere?
Blanching the beef bones or oxtail prior to roasting them greatly reduces that terrible carcass smell. Also adding the aromatics while simmering the bones adds a lot of pleasant flavors and scents. I add things like I would in any other stock. Onion and skin, unpeeled carrots, celery with lots of leaves, parsley stems, dried porcinis, thyme, bay leaf, whole allspice, peppercorns maybe even a juniper berry or two.
Yeah, anything you're going to put this in is probably going to benefit from those, so why not? And for those of us in the cold north where cooking outside is only really an option for two or three months of the year, being able to reduce that smell for indoor cooking would be a lifesaver. Thanks!
@@1queijocasdisagree. You can either use the ice cubes or find an alternative way to cool it down. Such as the ice bath, or just pouring into separate smaller containers. That's a lot of liquid and it won't cool down quick enough to be "safe". You can risk it, but it's really recommended to do something to cool it down rapidly (below 41° F within 2 hours)
I add a bouquet Garni of fresh herbs, all the veg you mentioned, whole peppercorns, but never tried the allspice. I’m afraid it would limit my options , like if I wanted it for French onion soup. And juniper berries? What are those like?
@@jeanniebrooks Both allspice and juniper berry offer a very subtle, fresh herbal note. I don't think it would conflict as it only enhances the other herbal notes.
Fyi: the seagreen dishware you're using looks strikingly similar to a set i got from my great aunt's estate that ended up containing lead. If it is an older set, you might want to get it tested.
The problem I see with leaving it outside is that I can see wildlife attempting to eat it. There are a ton of squirrels and other wildlife where I live so that could be a problem. And uh these are pretty clever squirrels
I've made a few recipes of Chef John's and they're always incredible. I also love how he troubleshoots as he goes--it's helpful in learning recipes and how to fix them. Thanks Adam, I might try this next weekend.
Literally everyone does. I'll be watching a makeup tutorial, and at some point she'll say: "and add a little cayenne for Chef John." … … … I don't actually watch makeup tutorials, by the way.
It's crazy how long Chef John's been doing this, when he stared out "food blogging" wasn't really a thing yet. I think he got started online around 2007/2008 if i remember right, which means he's been here for about as long as TH-cam's been around.
I remember Chef John from back in the day But i have never heard of this michelle phan...... cant hardly be that hot if *I* haven't ever heard her...... just saying
They are on opposite ends of the country. I heard that Chef John doesn't like to fly. So it looks like Adam has to go to California. Pack your bags Adam!
I used to compulsively binge-watch Chef John's videos a while back, and I still have a bunch of bookmarks for things I was meaning to make. I love that you added his little sing-song "enjoy" at the end. 😊
I followed your recipe this weekend, and it was excellent! I cut the recipe in half, and instead of simmering the bones in a pot on the stove, I simmered them in a slow cooker on low setting, but otherwise I followed your directions exactly. The results were amazing, and now I have 18 cubes of delicious demi-glace in the freezer. Definitely worth the time, especially considering that there is very little hands-on time.
A lot of what was previously thought of as throwaway cuts are becoming valuable after the home cooking revolution in the last few years. Wings are literally twice as expensive as they were a decade ago. Oxtail, leg, feet, etc. are more in demand than ever before. You can still find cheap-er cuts though, just depends on area as to which specific one it is.
Would this work, considering that he cooks this for 12 hours straight and then another 12 to reduce it? If the initial 12 hours is enough to literally cook the ingredients out of meat and bone, I surmise that veggies wouldn't survive this process as they are way more delicate than the stuff he put in. So this would actually need to have the veggies replaced a few times and then this means a watchful eye (and nose) every few hours - attended time to fish out the previous veggies and putting new ones in. And I think that the idea of this is that you should spend as little time as possible attending to it in the first half of the cook.
But I would definitely throw in some fresh aromatics for the second 12 hrs too, not to mask foul odors (they should be eliminated), but to scent the air in the kitchen
@@WeskerUmbrella4 It would work if you put mirepoix in.My chef's way of doing it is by caramelising the mirepoix on a medium low heat for about 45 min to an hour.Then just fused the chicken stock with the chicken bone and let time do their work.Side note: don't caramelised for too long if don't want it to be too sweet.
@@JishinimaTidehoshiAsia also does basically this exact same process for things like pho. If it tasted the same, Vietnamese chefs wouldn’t be spending so much time on pho, which they do, and rightfully so. I wouldn’t say that one is superior to the other. European and Asian cooking both excel at different things and have incredible things to learn from.
Authentic rich Soy Sauces take half to full years and longer, often with a beginning culture that is 50-100s of years old... This is a practically space-aged microwaved version of that process if it's anything close. Also, made me wanna look into the boutique soy sauces.
When I make my Vietnamese pho broth, I enrich the beef bone broth with chicken feet. It cooks on a slow-bubble simmer for 12 hours overnight. Twelve hours seems to be a common time for making good broths. Thanks Adam.
Soy sauce can taste incredibly amazing, but it'll cost you a pretty penny and be several years old if not decades old. Same way cheap balsamic vinegar tastes perfectly ok, but the kind that has been specially aged for decades will be quite amazing.
Miso paste?, I have had amazing results adding red miso to stews broths and coating meats, kinda sounds like his making a very complicated umami flavor when you could just cheat and add a stock cube to a broth and a few spoons of miso?
@@karlcoleman2839 I love miso pastes but it probably won't give the same type of flavour profile for his liking. That said, for most of us plebs cheating with richer flavour miso pastes works just fine.
I had every intention of making this UP UNTIL he said that and I was like, WTAF ? Hahahahaha... nah, I just bought some organic umami so I'll continue to make my own gravy and add the umami for the extra oompf. Much less time-consuming.
DO NOT "speed chill" in the freezer. Unless you have a blast chiller made specifically for cooling things from hot temperatures, all you're going to do is transfer heat from the hot thing to the other stuff in your freezer, without an appreciable reduction in time for cooling the hot item. You'll also introduce a lot of condensation into the freezer, which isn't good for it.
He's made alot of mistakes, demi glace definitely should not smell like dead bodies or taste like soy sauce. Needs a full mirepoix and he cooked it down waayyyyy to much at the end
-all you're going to do is transfer heat from the hot thing to the other stuff in your freezer so, cooling it, basically. -You'll also introduce a lot of condensation into the freezer let me introduce you to cling film
"And as always, enjoy..." What a quote, whenever this jingle plays I get heart warmth and finish the jingle with Chef John as if we are saying it together...
i have made it a bunch of times an smells like meat cooking ,i don't get that dead body odor stuff unless your using rotten meat,must be missing something i dunno
Adam, I’ve been digging your channel for some time now and respect your cooking methods very much but your tribute to Chef John just made me love your channel that much more.
I've been doing demi glace with stock and broth that I make that I just don't have a near-term purpose for. Like a stock/broth preservation tactic, turns out really nice and I'm freezing much smaller volumes. Nice video.
For those that might believe this is more trouble than it's worth, don't. As adam mentioned there's not much active cooking involved at all and the pay off is amazing. Whether it's making an exquisite omurice or turning a cheap steak into a luxurious experience, having this "kitchen platinum" can majorly upgrade practically any meal. It's gotten to the point that I get unreasonably antsy when I'm down to my last dozen cubes lol
Amirul Azizol that's fine, we will do it with white if/when we make it ourselves. This recipe was already an adaptation, we just modify it a little bit more.
@@strider_hiryu850 sometimes water is better than wine when deglazing because the flavor components in the wine can overwhelm more delicate flavors in the dish. Demi-glace is pretty rich iirc so it shouldn't overwhelm the flavor of the glace but those flavors could come out stronger and ruin other mild flavors in the sauce you are making when you do add the glace. Best way to find out is to experiment and test it though.
@@derrickmelton5844 Plus when you use demi glace you can choose to use wine in the sauce if desired. It's the same reason you don't season stock. You want it to be versatile.
“if you don’t know his channel, food wishes, you should, chef john is the alpha and the omega of foodtubers. he was here before any of us and he will be here long after we’ve all had to get real jobs again.” *_most accurate and best endorsement/praise of chef john_*
It's all about the love you put into to not the time. I made a Demi-Glace recipe once and froze it. I used it for more than 6 months. Totally worth the time for that velvety finish. Added Roasted Carrots, Celery,Tomato, Red Wine and pureed it all down and strained it
One of the things that makes this channel great is how unpretentious it is. So many cooking videos pop up in my recommended claiming "How to make the Perfect recipe X", "How to make REAL recipe Y", or "Recipe Z better than the restaurants". Adam just comes in, shows us realistic cooking that can easily be done at home and he is humble about it. He shows his mistakes and isn't so "straight laced" about everything. Cooking is flexible, you don't need exact measurements for most things. So much more appealing to me personally.
“and it’s all going in this smaller pot, wow that’s awfully full, will it be okay? it’ll be fine, it’s fine.” two min later “and it’s boiled over, delightful”
It really is a PITA to save usable solids when making stock. And it really does not add flavor. Make some stocks, and you'll find yourself not feeling guilty when you just strain out the solids and chuck it. Make a roux for thickener. Feed it to a farm animal or a pet, assuming they'll eat it, and ya didn't add a bunch of salt. Go do it and find out. My thinking is like yours- Use it all, if ya can.
Hey everyone, I just tried this and it is perfectly fine to do it inside. I doesn’t smell bad at all. Maybe Adam bought some expired meat but mine smells like stock
This is also how portable soup is made. Cool it in the fridge and then cut into thin slices, place them on a paper towel and let them dry. I store a lot of that because it comes back to full flavor. It's epic. Nice video and yup Geaux Chef John.
Shout out to Chef John lol! I really dig that! I discovered Adam within the last couple months, and am a fan! I stumbled upon chef John almost two years ago, and am a big fan of him too! I love the relatable non-pretentiousness of both of these guys! Big thanks to Adam for the pizza recipe, and a big thanks to John for the queso dip :)
7:00 Adam: Is this gonna be OK? It's gonna be fine **10 seconds Later** Adam: **Immediately Regrets his action** "IT'S NOT GONNA BE FINE, IT'S NOT GONNA BE FINE!!! Gotta love adam's personality
We do a three day job on ours at Peller. 1st day roast then boil bones. Second, skim and add mire aux pois, with herbs. Third day, drain, fortify with meat screps and more veg and wine. Cook. Strain. Reduce to a very thick jus. It turns gelatinous after refrigeration.
A method I found for cooling it is by filling up your cooking vessel that you plan to transfer the demi-glace to with cold water, let it sit a minute,dumb it out, then put the glace in it and then in the fridge
IN MY OPINION, the meat was in fact used, and not wasted. Literally all the flavor from it was taken away, also taking away any reason for it to be consumed. However, the fat scraped from the top of the pot probably could've been used better. (The only things I consider completely wasted is the fat and calorie value from the meat and onion solids, I don't blame him though, as we could definitely use more of our tissues, flush less, and Waste less in general)
just got my first batch in the freezer - insane portion size aside I'm So excited to take it for a spin! the process wasn't seamless, but the end result was Insanely gelatinous with a long, rich, meaty flavor. it's in no way a sauce on its own, but with a glass of red wine, some garlic or shallots.... I think it'll be jaw-dropping in its intended role
Q: This seems like a lot of work. Can I just buy this somewhere?
A: You'd think so, but I've never found one that tasted remotely like real demi-glace. Let me know if you do.

@@karlcoleman2839 I love miso pastes but it probably won't give the same type of flavour profile for his liking. That said, for most of us plebs cheating with richer flavour miso pastes works just fine.
I had every intention of making this UP UNTIL he said that and I was like, WTAF ? Hahahahaha... nah, I just bought some organic umami so I'll continue to make my own gravy and add the umami for the extra oompf. Much less time-consuming.
Soy sauce is hard to make so 🤷🏻 dont you go disrespecting it.
DO NOT "speed chill" in the freezer. Unless you have a blast chiller made specifically for cooling things from hot temperatures, all you're going to do is transfer heat from the hot thing to the other stuff in your freezer, without an appreciable reduction in time for cooling the hot item. You'll also introduce a lot of condensation into the freezer, which isn't good for it.
Finally!! Someone else who knows a bit of science ... and food safety!! :) THANK YOU!
Damn, I would certainly like to spare my fridge some goof. Thx for the tip
He's made alot of mistakes, demi glace definitely should not smell like dead bodies or taste like soy sauce.
Needs a full mirepoix and he cooked it down waayyyyy to much at the end
speed chill doesnt exist physically talking
-all you're going to do is transfer heat from the hot thing to the other stuff in your freezer
so, cooling it, basically.

I've been doing demi glace with stock and broth that I make that I just don't have a near-term purpose for. Like a stock/broth preservation tactic, turns out really nice and I'm freezing much smaller volumes. Nice video.
Love your shout outs to Chef John. Food Wishes has been one of my favorite channels for many years.
For those that might believe this is more trouble than it's worth, don't. As adam mentioned there's not much active cooking involved at all and the pay off is amazing. Whether it's making an exquisite omurice or turning a cheap steak into a luxurious experience, having this "kitchen platinum" can majorly upgrade practically any meal. It's gotten to the point that I get unreasonably antsy when I'm down to my last dozen cubes lol
bro, I've never even made cheap steak at home, let alone a luxury steak

"... with water."
WTF
Amirul Azizol that's fine, we will do it with white if/when we make it ourselves. This recipe was already an adaptation, we just modify it a little bit more.
@@strider_hiryu850 sometimes water is better than wine when deglazing because the flavor components in the wine can overwhelm more delicate flavors in the dish. Demi-glace is pretty rich iirc so it shouldn't overwhelm the flavor of the glace but those flavors could come out stronger and ruin other mild flavors in the sauce you are making when you do add the glace.
Best way to find out is to experiment and test it though.
You deglaze with wine when you're cooking a sauce. You deglaze with water when you reconstitute fond into something, like glace.
@@derrickmelton5844 Plus when you use demi glace you can choose to use wine in the sauce if desired. It's the same reason you don't season stock. You want it to be versatile.

It's all about the love you put into to not the time. I made a Demi-Glace recipe once and froze it. I used it for more than 6 months. Totally worth the time for that velvety finish. Added Roasted Carrots, Celery,Tomato, Red Wine and pureed it all down and strained it
One of the things that makes this channel great is how unpretentious it is. So many cooking videos pop up in my recommended claiming "How to make the Perfect recipe X", "How to make REAL recipe Y", or "Recipe Z better than the restaurants". Adam just comes in, shows us realistic cooking that can easily be done at home and he is humble about it. He shows his mistakes and isn't so "straight laced" about everything. Cooking is flexible, you don't need exact measurements for most things. So much more appealing to me personally.

Adam, you really out-did yourself with meme-able material in this video.
Chef John is legit. Real hacks (and the right attitude) from real restaurant experience.
why i season my *insert current dish here* and not my *random*
Man im not vegan or even a vegetarian but wasting the solids like that and not being able to put them to a use makes me feel bad
Thats whay dogs are for
You could still use the meat bits as ingredient in something to add more protein, just don't rely on them for any flavour.
I usually go 24 hours on mine - there is no flavor left - but if you added some demiglace back to the beef you could make some ravioli, wonton etc.
An animal died just to literally get tossed out, a literal shame.
It really is a PITA to save usable solids when making stock. And it really does not add flavor. Make some stocks, and you'll find yourself not feeling guilty when you just strain out the solids and chuck it. Make a roux for thickener. Feed it to a farm animal or a pet, assuming they'll eat it, and ya didn't add a bunch of salt. Go do it and find out. My thinking is like yours- Use it all, if ya can.
"after all, you are the bob ross of your meaty demi-glace."
Hey everyone, I just tried this and it is perfectly fine to do it inside. I doesn’t smell bad at all. Maybe Adam bought some expired meat but mine smells like stock
Same here. Mine doesn't smell like "Dead Bodies" at all

This is also how portable soup is made. Cool it in the fridge and then cut into thin slices, place them on a paper towel and let them dry. I store a lot of that because it comes back to full flavor. It's epic. Nice video and yup Geaux Chef John.

We do a three day job on ours at Peller. 1st day roast then boil bones. Second, skim and add mire aux pois, with herbs. Third day, drain, fortify with meat screps and more veg and wine. Cook. Strain. Reduce to a very thick jus. It turns gelatinous after refrigeration.

3:58 This caught me off-guard, that was amazing
A method I found for cooling it is by filling up your cooking vessel that you plan to transfer the demi-glace to with cold water, let it sit a minute,dumb it out, then put the glace in it and then in the fridge
IN MY OPINION, the meat was in fact used, and not wasted. Literally all the flavor from it was taken away, also taking away any reason for it to be consumed. However, the fat scraped from the top of the pot probably could've been used better. (The only things I consider completely wasted is the fat and calorie value from the meat and onion solids, I don't blame him though, as we could definitely use more of our tissues, flush less, and
Waste less in general)
KittKatt Kimm was the protein extracted too?
my cat would love the remains from the stock pot after the outdoor boil off.
@@thedeathstar420 Yeah he said in the video that demi glace is full of proteins
But chicken wings...
I’m buying my chicken whole and cut then myself. Would all scraps from that works for making a demi glace ?
@@arakwar it should works just as nice.

just got my first batch in the freezer - insane portion size aside I'm So excited to take it for a spin! the process wasn't seamless, but the end result was Insanely gelatinous with a long, rich, meaty flavor. it's in no way a sauce on its own, but with a glass of red wine, some garlic or shallots.... I think it'll be jaw-dropping in its intended role
