Thanks for not turning this into 26 shorts 😆
So much nicer to watch this way than in crappy "Shorts" format
I agree.
But now that it's a video he should turn it into shorts! Get that bag Shaq.
idk i would love net shaq shorts. each of these are much better than the average reel you scroll past on this app
Hahaha if that isn't exactly what happens to this then he isn't doing his job. Appreciate the long format drop first though.
I love how this channel subtly doubles as a meta commentary on the state of TH-cam. Starts with no fluff, ads are honest, acknowledgements are given to the methods used to grab attention. Just little things like that that show-don't-tell what the YouTubing landscape is like.
Still preaching the good word about fire extinguishing btw, good stuff.
You might enjoy my second channel called Extranet Shaquille :)
@@internetshaquille Oh dang! Didn't even know about it, cheers! Going to start with the How to Make an Internet Shaquille Video.
Ya the second channel is quite great for commentary and random subjects of interest
I second it, extranet is the fucking best
@@avargs3505and the DJ Aquafaba curated cook-alongs 🤌🏿
Would love to see that retention graph.
You have to admit, it's a great video idea and execution. Love your pizza dough recipes btw - I've made them all!
Agree it’s a great vid
Has to be insanely spiky
I watched the whole thing. But I always watch yours til the end too, Bri.
i even watched the ad read at the end :)
If you're down here reading comments while the video plays in the background, consider perusing the many links in this video's description instead :)
Yes, sir.
Love you bro
Nice
But I can’t do that easily on my phone :(

It is so satisfying to know someone loathes the shorts too. The "keys jangling" bit was great
“The sink is the liver of the kitchen” well said, nothing like a clean sink.
top tier content. The salsa at the store reminds me that I had my own "make everything at home" kick for a while and I have started to realize that my own time has value. Spending three hours making tortillas (that video was great) can be a very incredible experience and learning moment, but if I am doing "taco night" with friends, the farmer's market Mexican kiosk sells tortillas fresh off the griddle and salsa verde, saving me A LOT of time and energy for little financial investment. it is a balance.
I bought doritos brand salsa once, traumatized for life
so true, realizing your time has value was one of the greatest turning point for me too
Costco's Jack's Cantina Salsa is better than most fresh/restaurant salsas.
supermarket tortillas suck where i'm at, and i've made some awesome tortillas before but when you just wanna make dinner in around an hour it's a pain to make everything from scratch
Yep, this feeling is just part of the learning curve, had a similar phase with homemade pasta
10:26 A few years ago I started using spray bottles to evenly apply sushi vinegar to my rice. Instead of having to pour it over the back of the spoon while fanning and all that fuss, it simplified the process tremendously and I think it resulted in more consistent results than the traditional method done poorly.
holy shit this is so big brain
A lot smarter than me, I just drip it on with a silicone brush
I'm going to be making onigiri and musubi later this week. That's a great idea. Stealing it.
this is a game changer, i've been squirting rice vinegar through a cheese grater
This honestly would even be useful for just adding evenly to stuff like salads (I'm lazy and some things taste better with the dressing added in "stages" to me - draw out water first from tomatoes and garlic with a pinch of salt or sugar in your salad bowl before adding in the greens and tossing for mmmmmm tasty tomatoey garlicky overall salad and oil last once everything tastes about right)
That steamed yams joke deserves a Pulitzer Prize
I didn't get it, but then I grew up in Utica so
We love a good Simpsons ref
@@mattduffyw99 it's an Albany expression
I must say, he steams a good yam!
Had to scroll way too far to read this. Killed me with that one
This was a solid month of monetizable TikTok/Shorts content you graciously chose to drop all at once. You da man, Shaq.
Stalking Indian cooking youtube gave me the idea to always keep boiled potatoes in the fridge. Not only is it convenient for quick potato curries but also convenient if you want fries or breakfast potatoes on the fly
How long do boiled potatoes last? I'd love to do more roasted potatoes but that first boil turns it into a 90-minute side dish when I want dinner to be no more than half an hour away.
@@Loogaroo1 in tupperware i have around 4-6 days that they last. Never tried apst that because i eat them all before a week
Cooled and reheated potatoes are healthier as well. Cooling potatoes, rice, and pasta increases levels of resistant starches in them. I think you can do it multiple times.
@@userunaemu
Unfortunately though, potatoes are one of the “dirty dozen” foods on Environmental Working Group’s list of most pesticide-contaminated produce, so that unfortunately takes the health factor down. : /
@@anti-ethniccleansing465weren't you the guy being racist in that other thread?
Just a small comment about the Marshmallow test. When that study was revisited they found that it wasn't really disciplined kids vs non disciplined kids but instead kids from stable homes vs unstable homes. The children who didn't wait for the second marshmallow were growing up in environments where you couldn't really trust adults to hold true to their word. And we already know the ramifications of growing up in homes like that, which aligns with the outcome of that study.
Regardless of this, delaying gratification is an important skill to learn. That's the context in which the marshmallow test is mentioned here. Many if not most adults simply have no ability to weigh current temptations against their long term goals.
@@ProgShell I think OP just meant it's okay to fail at developing delayed gratification. Understanding that we are a product of our environments may be a way to ease into developing better habits. That way instead of thinking you're failing all the time, maybe you think every good choice you make is already progress against the odds that were stacked against you.
Also it's good to update our pop science knowledge on advancements in psychology. Apparently all the classical studies have nuances that are unearthed now that we revisit them.
Wow, that makes so much sense. My parents are incredibly lucky I managed to stay good with money given the fact they'd always steal money I was saving up as a kid..
What studies have actually found is that it is highly correlated with the average IQ of different populations. Nice try though, C4Aries.
@@aiGeis author and date, or DOI maybe?
Did you make this 13 minute video just to cook Eric on his burger making abilities?
Eric got roasted worse than his burgers.
spoon rests seemed so silly until I got one, now I can't imagine not having them
just use a small plate
I just use the stove top like a wild animal...
Ain’t nobody got space for that.
There is no such thing as too carbonated. The bubbles hurting your tongue is just the way they communicate their deliciousness. Please respect the cultural diversity of bubbles.
When you buy berries, cherries, tomatoes, or other highly perishable fruit that’s sold in clam shell containers, bags, or otherwise with the individual pieces of fruit piled all together, sort it before you put it away. Spread a kitchen towel on a sheet tray and empty the containers of fruit onto the tray. Examine each piece and separate the ripest/slightly damaged fruit that you want to eat/use right away from the firmer totally intact fruit that you can eat/use later. Only wash the fruit right before you eat it/cook with it. This is what most restaurants do because throwing away food can cost a lot of money over time.
I usually wash those fruits the day I get them from the farmers market. But I dry them on two dish towels. The first for all the big drips, and the second for anything I missed, then leave them out for about 10-30 minutes to air dry if possible. Finally, strawberries, cherries, tomatoes all go into labeled paper bags into the fridge. When bagging I'll sort by quality. So if it is soft or damaged, they get their own bag, or just go in a bowl to be eaten immediately. The strawberries last about a week or two. Tomatoes a few weeks. Cherries can last two or so weeks. Granted, I'm buying a few pounds of produce at a time because I love fruit that's in season, so it takes a bit of time to do this. But, the food stays fresh, and I can easily serve myself clean produce very quickly. For me it is the equivalent of having a watermelon cut on demand, it is nice to have a quick an easy snack to grab. Finally I'll reuse the bag the next week, or use it to collect compost scraps if the bags gets damaged, so I'm limiting my waste.
@@anthonybc tomatoes in the fridge? I thought that was a big no-no...
you are the best youtuber. no one packs as much useful information per video without fluff like you do. you also manage to make jokes and clever transitions and commentary without over relying on tired memes and overbearing editing. I always perk up whenever I see that you uploaded. please keep it up.
I really wish TH-camrs would chill out with packing their content with memes. I guess it's important to be funny, but idk, I just wanna watch a video without seeing the same repeated joke
This video was posted 2 hours ago and I already want a sequel. I learned quite a lot and some of my opinions (food processor cheese grater) were validated.
I want to add to the part about dishwasher detergent, and I think Technology Connections mentions it in his video, but powder detergent is basically the same thing and you're not paying for added water. Plus it comes in cardboard boxes so it's a lot easier to recycle than plastic bottles.
He did say that he now "splurges" on the gel stuff because it's easier to control when pouring it into the dispenser, but cheap powder detergent works just as well when it comes to cleaning dishes.
@@AnnaReed42 IMO the powder isn't any less convenient but fair
@@Zagill I always manage to spill it outside the little cup 😂 but that's ok
@@AnnaReed42 that's just extra pre wash!
My favourite channel is Video Game Dunkey cuz the guy has been putting out short-medium length gold for years. I've been watching you for a couple years, and I'm getting that same rare feeling where I just know I'll get something out of every video, even if it's not my specific interest. It's the self-awareness, the way you front-load all the most important info, the way you cut through trends to deliver something properly valuable. I know I can watch these videos in 5 or 10 years and they'll still be just as good!
Yes!
i have long had dunkey occupying the same space in my head as shaq cool to know someone else has that association as well
As a single, male PhD student, I’m probably part of one of the most cooking-averse demographics on the planet, not to mention the constant lack of time and money. But about 7 years ago I resolved to get really skillful at cooking, and I’ve gone from being able to do basic things like cooking pasta, making sandwiches, grilling meat, etc, to being basically home cook level in terms of what I can make. I can honestly say that learning to cook is one of the best time investments you can make.
For anyone who’s starting to learn to cook, I would add a few points to this already substantial list in the video:
1) Focus on learning cooking techniques (searing, braising, roasting, general soup steps) rather than memorizing recipes
2) Figure out what ingredients you actually like to cook and learn a few different ways to use them. Great thing about being an adult is that no one’s forcing you to eat things you don’t like
3) Spend money on appliances/ cookware based on what cooking tasks you hate doing. I have literally never owned a toaster because I can easily toast bread in a pan, but I LOVE my mandoline and electric chopper, because I despise slicing onions and mincing garlic and with those tools it takes me seconds to do each.
That store-bought and homemade really changed my perspective on cooking. I used to think that everything should be made from scratch but when I started to just buy tteokbokki and pasta at stores I enjoyed cooking a lot more.
I didn't think about the pan handle pointed away from walking path because that was pretty much the first rule i was taught. So it's just a habit now. Glad to have it in here because if I do think it's better to start this habit earlier than later. Even when I am tossing a pan I'll instinctively throw the pan sideways when I walk away.
Saw that in a safety video in 2nd grade.
I remember seeing this on a kids’ tv comedy skit when I was about 7 and it’s stuck with me ever since. Laughing and learning.
Thank you for giving a shout-out to Jeremy Fox's 'On Vegetables.' One of the greatest cookbooks of all time.
A little tip I have that nobody ever seems to mention is to always have manual alternatives to any electric appliance you use regularly. The food processor/cheese grater shown at 11:00 is a good example because if your power goes out unexpectedly then you are potentially screwed out of preparing a lot of meals you would be able to make otherwise. A harsh lesson learned from that little power outage incident in Texas a few years ago.
Why?
Lol. So you have a mechanical blender? 😂
I get your point here but if your power is out then your ability to grate cheese is the least of your problems, how are you going to be heating up food or chopping something in darkness
@@BioYuGiFire.
I'll always celebrate an Amaretto shoutout. In addition to being delicious in cocktails or with your coffee, I love using it as a substitute for vanilla when baking! I've gotten so many compliments on my clafoutis just from having a less common flavor. I agree that looking for something new to make should start with the things you have on hand; I made Helen Rennie's black bean-walnut pate and that bottle of pomegranate molasses has worked its way into so many salad dressings and dipping sauces.
Try a shot of Amaretto in a glasx of orange juice. It sounds awful, but is really pleasant.
do you sub it in a 1:1 ratio?
@@willjay916t's a great drink, and if you want it a bit stronger and fancier, you can add a shot of grand marnier or cointreau as well
@@noobkin997 Yup!
Love the shout out to technology connections. Although dishwasher powder is even more effective than gel. It works the best and you get the most bang for your buck, it's just a little less readily available.
Both of these channels are some of my all-time faves on TH-cam 💖 Such good stuff!
Dishwasher video changed my world. Dish gel is sooooo much better than cubes imo. Cheaper and yea. Prefill spot.
right there with you. his follow up video about it was just as enlightening as well. i cut my gel use in half per wash because of it
yep! i learned that even better than gel is the powdered stuff in a box! if i have this right, one important cleaning agent is enzymes that break down the food while another is i guess the "detergent" part, but if they pre-mix then one will kind of negate the other. therefore liquid dishwasher stuff usually only has one _or_ the other.
powdered dishwasher soap lets them put _both agents_ in without any interaction until the water hits them
so yeah, powdered dishwasher soap, put some in the "pre-wash" compartment, and also run the hot water until it gets hot _before_ starting the dishwasher
@@walterw2I second this!! Powder dishwashing detergent all the way. It's also more environmentally friendly because they're not shipping something with water in it, and the containers are recyclable.
I live below the poverty line & have never spent time browsing kitchenware stores/kitchenware sections of stores because it's hard enough to manage to afford good quality essential items, never mind be tempted by stuff & discovering a million little things to buy.
I had no idea small spoon rests existed.
My mom never even used a big leave-it-on-the-stovetop kind; *those* were a revelation to me when I moved out and started spending occasional time in adult-friends' kitchens.
... I like the one I own because it exists, lol, but I think I'd like to move to a collection of small ones like you're talking about.
An example of "small bits of equipment I didn't know existed but can now pick up as a dedicated hit-and-run operation at the kitchenware section in a month where my food purchases have been extremely economical leaving me a little bit of discretionary income" (or maybe even thrift store, who knows!)
Super excited to trade out the big spoon rest!
10:18 I think it is worth noting that Technology Connections did a follow up video for the dishwasher thing, and they said that gels are not very optimal and inefficient when compared to powder detergent, since the gel is mostly water and your dishwasher supplies plenty of water as is. Still probably better than packs tho since you get the benefit of the pre-wash.
I think some may have to use gels because they might not have access to powder detergent. I know for me it's been a struggle to find the powder version because everyone buys pods so there's not much stock. but I do see gel detergents still stick around.
The fact that the plants in your backyard are also struggling makes me feel better. Tucsonan here, hoping you get the rain you need!
Also, that ice shaver tip has opened so many ideas in my brain. Thank you!
You really are so good at this! I appreciate your clarity, your reasoning and the path you find between food snobbery and food enthusiasm. I'm bookmarking this one for future visits and thank you, keep going!
As always, love the video. I appreciate your movement to different locations to keep me engaged
I could literally watch you do anything. Im loving the techno music at the middle. Nice work
More people need to plug Dr. Bronner's Castile soap! The liquid form alone saved me on soo many occasions where I didn't have the proper means to wash something. Mouthwash being the most surprising use.
This is great! I really appreciate the ones like the TH-cam eating the same meal every day, it's so easy to assume that sort of thing, but like testing food or having a certain style of kitchen is their job!
So much great information packed into such a concise video!!
My take/hack is that leftover rice is way better in the FREEZER vs the fridge. Any rice that's left in the (still warm) ricecooker goes into a microwavable container, the steam collects on the lid and freezes so when you microwave the rice (2-3 minutes), it will melt and drip back into the rice. No added water needed, and it's damn near basically as fluffy/moist as fresh rice right out of the rice cooker. I usually shake the container halfway through to break up the block of rice so it heats more evenly. Highly suggest yall give it a shot!
I could not agree more about how important it is to feature the flavor a vegetable in a dish.
dude I have so much respect for you and your attitude to creating things. thanks for sharing the wisdom you've accrued 🙏
I love TH-cam. I love that this is my first time watching one of your actual full videos, Hearing you say “Switch to dish gel”, Thinking “Oh yeah I made that switch years ago, It’s saved me a ton of money, Thanks to Technology Connections” And then SEEING YOU REFERENCE ALEC DIRECTLY,
That was delightful. The internet is such a great resource.
Another use for spray bottles in the kitchen -- Dish soap dispensing! I took a spray head, curved the hose forward, and put it on a bottle with a gradual taper towards the top.
10% soap, 90% water, and you've got yourself a soap saving and dispensing *miracle!* I use probably 1/4 the amount of soap I did before.
The taper makes it so you can use it nearly upside down to spray hard to reach areas!
I perked up when he mentioned spray bottles thinking that dish soap dilution would be the hack. Best delivery system by far. I think it's not terribly well understood just how concentrated dish soap is. I'm probably more self-satisfied about my soap sprayer than is reasonable..
This is incredible. I've been a "mixing bowl of hot soapy water" kinda gal, but I think I could be converted to spray bottle.
Such an informative video!! Great work, chef!
BRING BACK THE JINGLING KEYS
This was my favorite video so far. It was very satisfying and I got lots of good tips!
You rock dude, love this type of content. Just small but impactful little tid bits that I may have never even heard about otherwise. Cheers
I love spray bottles for so many things, and already have a Misto. I've got a finger sprayer bottle full of isopropyl alcohol and a sharpie on my fridge for writing on tuppers, and other smooth surface food storage. It also helps to write cook times, and grain/water ratios on things I buy in bulk or otherwise need to repackage.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SHAQ, I want to share them with everybody I know!!
I agree branching out into different mixers early on in a collection is a really good idea. Other than simple syrup and fresh citrus, orange liquors seem to be one of the most frequently used cocktail ingredients, so unless you dislike orange it's a particularly handy one to pick up.
Thanks for the knowledge and for posting this 😊😊
This was a very useful video - thank you 🙂
Videos like this are exactly why I love this channel. Wish I could take a peak inside your mind, it’s incredible.
"You call them steamed yams despite the fact that they are obviously fried"
This video was phenomenally informative.
I really appreciate your style, man
I love your channel, I always feel like I am respected even if i'm bad at cooking
I would love to see more like this. Maybe one with more gardening tips as well. Great content
Fantastic video, thank you for the tips!
This video was fun. Love it.
This video is top notch. I really enjoyed this 😄
I learned that tip about pot/pan handles on the stovetop in middle-school home-ec class! Literally the one thing we learned that's actually stuck with me after all this time.
Wonderful as always
Continually setting the bar higher for your fellow youtubers. Keep crushin Shaquille
You and I have sooo much in common!
I was surprised at how many of these I already do/know!
Kinda proud of myself now lol
Thanks for sharing such helpful tips for everyone!
P.S. thank you for treating your audience with the assumption they’re just as smart as you are.
It never feels like you talk down to us.
Your channel is amazing. Amazing.
This was possibly the most entertaining food video I’ve ever watched
I'm definitely going to look up gel in the dishwasher
Thank you so much for giving us these pearls. 🖖
Seeing the soap dispenser I decided to get for myself and my dad several months ago here fills my heart with confusing joy
You’ve had to have been a teacher; or you should be. You have such an awesome energy and I love your humor! I’m so happy I found your channel with the no BS content. Subbed ❤
These are actual helpful tips!
Dude I just simply love your videos. Your tone and delivery is fantastic lol
For cheese lovers who can't afford a food processor, the drum grater is a happy medium between it and the box grater
I love Mr. Black!!! It's so good.
man i kept wanting to make comments but youre always one step ahead of my personal tips.. and i work in fine dining. Love your content!
Omg yes the dishwasher video changed my life! Glad you brought that up here
I want to buy this man a drink simply because he sticks to his style and opinions!
Making paper towels commercials yet making it clear he doesn’t used them.
Making a 14 Mon video of short content, instead of 26 shorts!
Bravo
That ending made me howl. Nicely done dude!
Awesome video as always
The way the music cuts out at the words "Hawaii erasure" is *chefs kiss* wonderful.
This video rules. You nailed the format.
Bros tryna hit on the algo today, AND IM ALL HERE FOR IT! GIMMIE ALL HE SHAQ TAKES
Great video!
Don't know which amazes me the most, that everyone I know successfully coordinatied efforts to hide something from me all this time or that they decided the thing I could never find out about was the soap foamer.
As ever Shaq, I owe you my unexpected gratitude.
An excellent video for me. Just starting to get into learning timeless tips and tricks with cooking. Would love to know what typical things you have ready in your fridge with accompanying recipes.
licor 43 really is so useful, my go to is combining it with lime and hard liquor but often when a cocktail just doesn’t taste quite right a splash of licor 43 fixes it
Misto is dope. I got one as a gift and it's amazing for frying tortillas.
Love the cheeky Corridor Crew reference at the end as well *chef’s kiss*
Thank you, as always
Shaquille is based on so many levels it’s hard to not see him glowing in a superhero aura. ❤😇🤩
Thank you dude for your pearls of wisdom 🙏🏼
LMAO the outro GOT me😂😂 I was zoned in on a bowl of chili until you brought me back
Yay for the technology connections shoutout! He's my very favorite pedantic nerd! ❤️
On the point of a foaming kitchen soap dispenser, my favorite upgrade has been an automatic sensing foam dispenser, so I can stick my hand or even a dish under it without touching anything. I really appreciate being able to hold my dishes in two hands and still get soap on them!
Please upload this into 26 separate shorts as well you earned this bag
Yay! Great video!
value content! Thanks
Top quality video as always
Thank you so much for all this amazing information, about to order a Braun food processor right now.
Oh man, one of my favorite channels mentioning another one of my favorite channels, awww yeaaaa
I've made really good oven burgers though lol. But I know how to season and perfectly cook a burger lol. Highly recommend cooking burgers in the oven for anyone who wants a burger, but only have microwave energy. I recommend cooking in the oven a lot especially for anyone who prefers cooking in a microwave or struggles with executive function. Cooking in the oven is as handsfree as cooking in the microwave just remember to set a timer! :)
Any recommendations on seasonings. I'm intrigued about oven burgers.
Absolutely amazing to see a technology connections reference
