You guys talk as if he's putting a flipping gun to your head saying this is the only way you can enjoy it. Not to mention ya'll sound salty asf. He literally says he's just gonna make the fanciest version possible in the cheapest price he can. The entire point of his But Cheapers are so that *people can see its possible to make really fancy food right at home while also maintaining a reasonable price,* not "my way is the only good way you must make everything from scratch if you don't have time make time don't care about your preferences" Homemade stuff made from scratch WILL taste better than the "shit that comes out of a bag or a bottle", if you're lazy enough to not do that, that's your thing.

@@maybeaspider3456 Don't want to make the buns? Buy them, especially if you have access to a good bakery, but even from a grocery store will be good. The sauce is dead easy and literally takes 1-2 minutes. I can' fathom how you can complain about that. Don't have/want mortadella? Use a different meat. If you don't want meat, avocado would be a great substitute. Even if you buy every ingredient, it'll be cheaper than going to a restaurant and the sandwich comes together in 5-10 minutes.

@@conor0011 Exactly. Man is giving out great ideas, trying to de-mystify cooking for people who would think it reasonable to pay 11 dollars for something you can make in 10 mins (if you buy the bread). The only issue I have is the amount of oil he used.
@@maybeaspider3456 you’re missing the whole point. The purpose is to inspire people to cook at home, by showing what’s achievable by making an effort and encouraging people to get into it by showing how much cheaper it CAN be. Learning to cook/make food is a skill for life. Papa smack.
I do think you should start putting full grocery costs (excluding things you'd likely have on hand already, pantry good and what not) to compare to the serving cost, but also stress how that total cost is still probably cheaper than what you'd end up paying for a fast food run to feed a similar amount of people. Really helps put that stuff into perspective. This sando looks stellar btw.
@@creatureofhabit7049 if I'm going to the grocery store, I cant buy per serving. itemizing the ingredients for the whole unit would be really helpful for budgeting.
Not to mention stand mixer and other special tools. I want to get into cooking and I just moved out, but I don't have anything and it's a little overwhelming knowing where to start
@@AlwayZash You can buy a cheap stand mixer for 60$ it doesn't have as much features but it does simplify the process and save you time. You could wait till black friday comes and get a deal on a good stand mixer, it's not like you're buying a stand mixer more than once. Or if we're keeping with theme of this video just mix with your hands, it will take longer but you will reach the same destination. If you want to learn about cooking basics you can find that info on youtube, I've been learning alot from "Pro home cooks" but you could probably find similar channels
@@AlwayZash You can always *literally always* do everything by hand, from the Kitchen Aid bread mixing to even mincing meat. He mentions it often in many of his videos. What you probably should do is look up some general cooking techniques and start small. He has years of experience and a lot of his but cheaper videos focus on making things from scratch to cut costs. Start with simple things like baking a white bread, cooking eggs (it's cheap and is cooked with multiple methods), making sauces. Pasta is super cheap, for anyone trying to be extremely budget conscious while trying to maintain calories to keep or gain weight. Using beans and eggs for most protein is cost effective, and making your own bread is extremely rewarding as well and cuts some cost. Learn to cook rice as well if you don't know how already. Eggs and rice go amazing together, beans and rice go amazing together. Potatoes are also extremely cheap and extremely versatile. Chicken will be your cheapest meat, outside of lunch meat. Keep lunch meat and bread and cheese on hand for when you're legit too lazy to cook anything at all, just to put something in your stomach. The skills you learn cooking cheap with making your own bread and your own potato stuff? It all goes into making something as fancy and delicious as gnocchi. B) Josh doesn't have many videos like that on the simple subjects, but I recommend Binging with Babish and his Basics with Babish series, he and Josh have actually worked together before. Start with Essential Kitchen Tools (Josh also has an awesome video on the tools he considers most important in the kitchen) and work your way up from there.
1 english muffin - $0.30 1 egg - $0.27 pickled onions - $0.10 chipotle mayo - $0.10 shredded cheddar cheese - $0.15 1/2 hot italian sausage - $0.70 Pickled onions: heat enough cider vinegar and brown sugar to cover 1 sliced red onion. Let cool, seal in a jar, and let it sit in the fridge for a few days before using. Remove the sausage from the casing and form into two patties (one per sandwich). Beat the egg, season with salt and pepper, and add a small amount of shredded cheddar cheese. Start scrambling the egg, but while the curds are still wet, bring together so that it binds together, flip to finish cooking. At the same time, cook the sausage patty. Toast your english muffin, add some chipotle mayo on both sides, add pickled onions to taste, and the egg and sausage and enjoy. Total cost: CAN $1.62 Total time (aside from the pickled onions):
Total prices would be way more helpful than prices per serving. I've been saying this since the start of this series, I feel like having per serving prices is mostly useless unless you're gonna be cooking for a small group of people or something. Okay I wasn't gonna edit this comment because I didn't think it was necessary but seeing how many people commented on it I'm gonna have to do it. I'm not saying the series is misleading or wrong, I just said total prices would be a good addition on the videos. Yes you can multiply the cost of each serving to get a total price I know that, but I still feel like having the total prices for some items would help people with a tight budget, I know some ingredients you may already have in hand but sometimes it could help having the total price to have a better idea of what you're gonna be spending and plan your budget better (and yes I do know that prices vary in different places so I understand it might be asking much). I think that's all and hope I cleared some stuff out so people don't get so pressed over this... Anyways have a good day everyone and also thanks to everyone who liked the comment, I didn't expect to get this many likes lol.
Yeah, maybe, but nowadays, most people don't cook for large groups of people anymore. Plus the serving price gives you a point of comparison to bought items and what drives the price for larger groups is mostly the meat components...
@@petrichor9417 even if you’re cooking for one person, you don’t go out to buy stuff in servings do you? You’ll pretty much always be buying the same amount
You're either lazy or pretentious (or both). It's called leftovers. Learn to reuse, and expect to maybe eat the same thing for a few meals in a row. Most of the ingredients here would last a couple weeks in the fridge and could be used for something else. (FYI, that expiration date on your carton of eggs? yea... Add 5 weeks to it; they'll still be good). Edit: And if you have something you don't think you'll use soon? Simple! Just google how long it can be kept in the freezer. Most stuff will last for months.
“hey guys I’m going to make breakfast for the rest of the week starting tomorrow!” one day later “it’s done guys! looks so good!” “wow this is awesome it tastes so good!” “yeah it costs less than $2 a sandwich too, and I made enough buns for the rest of the week too!”
You can make most of this the day before, and just fry the eggs and sear the sausage the morning you'll eat for about 15 minutes. It's not that complicated to figure out.
Back in 2010 my local Deli would make about the same Sandwich for 3.25, and I happily payed Frank that, and threw on a tip to make it an even $5. Frank deserved every penny. Someone charging you $11 for a breakfast sandwich is basically a movie theatre, because they are padding their profits by a fair bit. I'm convinced that if Josh ever posts a "But Quicker" they royally peeved off Josh.
@@teodoragape97 yea go fuck yourself youre online defending ludacris pricing that stores put in place bc they know theyll have dumbasses like you defending them. If a business cant pay a living wage they do not deserve to be in business.
@@matt475 yes but then I have to pause the video and go to the website. With the recipe written in the description I can use the video like a follow along. No worries 😊.
I think including little moments and mishaps like the tomato slice disintegrating is really cool and important. It helps drive the fact to home cooks that mistakes happen and that's okay!
Please make a "but packable" for us who wants to cook from scratch and have bussin food at work only equipped with a fridge and microwave, that would be NOICE.
normal cookbook: "add 45g of gratinated Parmesan Cheese" Joshua's cookbook: "put 500g of your Pasta in a Pan, sprinkle it with 1kg of gratinated Parmesan Cheese, then stir it with the other half of the Pasta".
$2… if you don’t count the stand mixer.. the oven… the pizza board… the cast iron pan… the stainless steel pan… the blowtorch… the hours of free time… $11 sounds pretty good actually.
@@fleuttre4510 basically lots of people keep jabbing at this series because he makes so many things from scratch, and for some reason those people think he wants them to make it from scratch as well, and they're either too lazy or busy to do so and so they complain. I mean what did they expect? Its But Cheaper, not But Faster or But Easier.
I am so happy I found you and you get to do what you love. Congrats on the success, it's clear to me it's from years of hard work and passion. Keep it up! I love watching and making your food.
It definatly adds a lot of cost but it doesnt make stuff comparable. If i was to make this as a single i could probaly pull it of in a hours active time. If i was to make it for 5 it would take me just over an hour making the price wastly different
Okay here's how I'd tackle this to better manage the time: Since the most amount of time is spent on the bread, I'd just make a bunch of those in advance in like a weekend and then store them. Then when I need to make the sandwich all I need to do is spend 20 minutes making the rest of the stuff and then make the sandwich itself. Yes I'd spend the 20 minutes because it's worth it for the taste and quality. It can take even less than 20 minutes if you have your breads prepared and if you're a skilled cook like Josh here. So I guess they wouldn't be as cheap if you did all the steps on the same day, but can be made much cheaper if you can manage the process and time if you did that. Or at least that's how I'd do it, hehe
I appreciate the price break down, but that's if you're making like 2 dozen sandwiches. For the average joe, you're gonna spend like $25 to buy all the ingredients to make one sandwich then have a shit ton of leftover ingredients.
A number of these ingredients are things you might already have at home. At any rate, if you're buying all those ingredients, you are likely to be able to use them to make several sandwiches over a long period of time, so you still get your savings.
Yeah, love Josh but this is pretty facetious. Just making the bread is an insane undertaking to save like 5 bucks. Ice cubes in the oven to steam your special buns? If you're on an insane budget this is just a crazy recipe overall. Still fun to watch but let's be honest... nobody on a budget will have this much time anyway.
The average joe will put the ingredients in their pantry or fridge and use them over a period of time for multiple meals, and with the exception of the sliced meat the ingredients he used here have a shelf life of weeks or even months. I'm sorry but you're an idiot if you think the "leftover ingredients" are a waste, just store them and use for other meals like a regular person.
You can definitely make this cleanup easier by rinsing the pan in between each thing, the tomato, meat, egg, bread. And you can buy the bread to make it easier yet. Quicker breakfast with less cleanup 👍 awesome idea Josh!
As someone who makes homemade bread on the regular, and knows the stunning majority of it is just waiting, I liked the video just for Josh's rant about people saying "bread takes too long to make :(" because frustration with people who think bread making is a super power is a mood.
Great video, definitely making this tomorrow! I gotta nitpick though, there’s a reason plumbing contractors don’t make their own pipes. Time is money, and the hours it takes to extrude pvc using whatever dinky setup they threw together, definitely costs more than what they’re saving on raw materials. If it takes you 3 hours (super conservative estimate, not including bake time) to make the ciabatta buns, at minimum wage where I live ($15.20/h) that would be $45.60 in time. Honestly, unless you REALLY enjoy baking, and the fun factor more than makes up for the time spent, you’re better off supporting your local bakery by buying from them. Super niche trades exist for a reason, it’s just more efficient that way. The seemingly high price of their bread compared to the mass-produced crap in grocery stores reflects the tools and experience they INVESTED in their trade (plus some profits obv). All that being said, fuck trendy cafes that charge $12 for a breakfast sandwich, that’s different, they’re just greedy.
@@andrewdatcu870 It sits, you fold it every once in a while, while proofing. Not hard to do. And takes only a couple minutes per fold session. If you have the right tools, you don't even have to get your hands dirty. It's no more than 10 minutes hands-on for the entire process. Edit: I don't follow Weissman's recipe for making Ciabatta, but it's pretty close, somethin I learned a few years ago.
@@matt475 Unless you work from home with really flexible hours, you're probably not getting much done during the 1 hour intervals between folds lol. It might be doable for some people I guess. Mixing the ingredients and tossing them in a breadmaker is way more reasonable for most people's scedules, its entirely hands-off. I don't think you can make ciabatta that way though.
I feel like a nice addition to the description of the videos you make would be a list of (recommended) equipment. The ingredients list is super nice and helpful for use after viewing the video, but also having a list to check for equipment like a cast iron pan would be really nice.
For this, honestly there doesn't need to be. That's the great thing about bread making. Yes you can use a stand mixer with a hook, but you don't need to. Really all you need is a container for the dough starter, plastic wrap and 2 hands. Cooking should never "require" gear in my opinion. Keep it simple. Good quality ingredients, attention to detail, patience, and time. That's all that's needed.
It must be so nice, having access to such cheap food. In Canada, the prices are much higher on most of the things you include in your meals. Surprisingly though, a few of the things are much cheaper. I would also like to mention, that saran wrap is not free, neither is parchment paper, and butter is definitely not free either.
Just commented something similar! Cooking at home is still way cheaper than going out, because *wow* have restaurant prices skyrocketed in the last year. But it gets tiring seeing all these "cheap" recipes and meal plans knowing if I make it it'll cost 2-3 times as much. As a former Chef I've considered starting a "good food on a budget" channel for Canadians but my kitchen is crap and I don't think anyone wants to watch me struggle in my galley kitchen at weird video angles when there's all these aesthetically appealing channels already on youtube :P
@@findingfrugal2093 I'm a retired cook, I've never liked the term chef, as the only difference between being a cook or a chef is recognition of educational institutions. But the actual work remains the same. As for creating a Canadian budget meal series on your channel, I would do it. There are so many people who could benefit from it. Practical cooking is quickly becoming a lost art. I live in Alberta, it's 9:50 am my time, and about 3 hours ago, I started cooking paprika coconut chicken drum sticks. It's a wonderful meal coupled with either mashed potato's or rice with a food cost of around $10.00 cad and makes enough to feed 4. If you're wondering why I would cook something like that so far away from dinner time, the answer is my nephew (who I helped raise from the age of 8) is currently building a house nearby, and I thought if he has the time to swing by, he can have a hearty home cooked lunch.
@@0donny Fair play about the term "chef", for some reason non-professionals get confused when a pro-cook doesn't refer to themselves as a chef so I just got into the habit online lol I might see about doing some videos, I have most of the stuff necessary to film on my phone and I cook constantly. Wouldn't be the video quality of channels like this one but some people might still find value in it. That sounds absolutely delicious and I hope your nephew appreciates you thinking about him! I'm in BC so if I get in the car now I can be there in time for dinner ;) Have a great day!
@@findingfrugal2093 I think it'd be a good idea, something you should seriously consider!. And yes it's a really good dish very easy to make, just a little time consuming and I know he'll enjoy it, since his GF is a vegan and he doesn't get to eat meat very often. You have a great day too!
I feel like In a series called "but cheaper" you probably shouldn't expect people who need a series called "but cheaper" to have a cast iron pan, pizza steel, the ability to keep the oven on for so long, and a blowtorch

Congratulations on making the New York Times best seller list! The cookbook turned out really great, love the organization of it and all the detailed photos!!
I just love how you can get much better produce than we can here in Australia... oh and yeah one of those would be like $16-20 here. Hell a full english is usually about $24 here it's ridiculous
Aussie here, I lived in the US for several years and you're kidding yourself if you think that the produce is better there. Food is cheaper, but much lower quality. You can get really good food, but it's a lot more expensive than here. Eating out in the US is cheaper (even with a 20% tip) than here because their wages are far lower than Australia.
The produce here in Aus is a pretty high standard. I don't think I've ever seen anything on this channel or say, Babish etc. where I've thought that food in the US is better. Except Kosher salt :)
Lol, people think I'm crazy when I tell them my pizza dough, or any bread I make, takes 3 days to make! 😄 Poolish & autolyse on day 1, make the dough on day 2 & cold ferment in fridge to day 3. But like he said, most of the time is just waiting, actual "hands on" is very little. But the results are absolutely amazing.
Made this today for my roomates birthday. I live in Nyc and got our bagels from a local bakery. Breakfast was a hit, loved by all, we enjoyed every last bite.

While i love those "but cheaper" episodes. Usually the Meat alone PER SERVING costs as much as Josh's entire dish on screen here where i live. (Hints: Europe)
To be fair, I'm using his own math, and I hit $1.99 for one sandwich for just the eggs, cheese, meat, and basil...so not even including the bread, tomato, butter, salt, pepper, oil.
@@daves1412 youre not taking into account the massive cost of living in western europe... and the massive wages. everything is very expensive there for people from countries where beer costs less than five euro.
@@icedcat4021 no it isn’t. It’s frequently cheaper than many places in the US. I live in London and feed even here isn’t that expensive. Unless you go out to eat (and then it can be, but isn’t always *very* expensive). Brexshit has obviously put up the cost of living massively but even so it’s still not too bad regarding food prices.
Not just pandering, but Josh's cookbook might be the best on my shelf. The choice of recipes makes it perfect for someone that doesn't have a chef's kitchen in their house.
We just had it for lunch, they turned out absolutely great, the technique of the buns is flawless, maybe the best buns I've ever made, big thanks Papa, you're still the best :) .
I listened to papa and bought the cookbook immediately. Funnily enough, I was about to purchase it earlier today but didn't complete the purchase, this video made me do it! :D

1:25 Wendy's breakfast in a nutshell.😂 I really enjoy this series, and, regardless of the food cost, I think it's a great way to inspire people to try making "gourmet" foods at home. I'm curious though, how do you buy ingredients for these episodes? At a regular grocery store, the quantities you can buy for some items are limited by the pre-packaged sizes of that item that they sell. So, unless you go to a farmer's market, you're probably going to be buying several servings' worth of ingredients for items like this, which you'd be challenged to use before they go bad if you live on your own.
That’s so true. Like for example, I was gonna make some lo mein, and found I had to buy sesame oil. The only oil Walmart carried was a 15 ounce container of sesame oil…. 15…ounces… I brought it home and to my utter disgust I found I only needed like 3 drops of the shit. It’s been sitting in my pantry for 9 months now and I haven’t touched it since.
@@ehh2681 lol that's funny, honestly though the fact that you made lo mein makes me think you'd be willing to cook other things. I'm just saying that there are so many uses for sesame oil.

@@johnree6106 can you buy 1000 grams of flour? No. You can only buy 5 lb bags of flour for 4-5 dollars. If you bake a lot, this isn't an issue. But let's say you don't, like most people living in the developed US. You have bought a whole bag of flour and now have most of it left, taking up space in your cabinet. You can't buy very specific quantities like this. I'm sure the sandwich is great, but is it cheaper? No.

Yanno, once you watch this series and think for a minute you realize American restaurants really overprice their food for establishments that don't pay their workers even minimum wage.
Restaraunt workers make way mote than minimum wage once you factor in tips. And restaraunt owners have rent to pay so that you can sit in the restaraunt and eat the food. Stop being a bitch.
If it was such an easy business, we wouldn't have over half of new restaurants failing within the first year and 80% of new ones closing within the first five years. There is A LOT of costs associated with running a restaurant, it's not just the worker wages... Plus, american restaurants are honestly a good bit cheaper than most western european ones, especially if you compare to somewhere like the UK.
@@natehiggers42069 Uh, that's not for every American resturaunt. In fact, employers only have to pay workers $2.13 (federal minimum wage)as long as their tips equal up to minimum wage. So they get away with paying their employees barely anything while customers make up the difference. Not only that but there's a significant amount of illegal underpaying with minimum wage/tipped jobs and these issues go largely unreported because people have been so desperate for work they're willing to be mistreated. This also affects minority communities disproportionately to others in America. So not only do smaller resturaunt owners not pay as much in wages as other small businesses, customers make up the difference and pay people for merely doing their job. You should also note that the tipping industry in America literally came from people not wanting to pay black people a real wage. Not only that but even 13 years ago research showed that customers give larger tips to white workers than black workers regardless of service. Lmao customers pay to sit and eat food. It's stupid to try and use that as an argument as if it's a privilege to be able to sit in a restaurant we pay for as consumers to eat the food we pay for. Also, you complain about rent which some would also argue should be cheaper and is currently overinflated. I think you need to educate yourself about the things you try to talk about before being rude and calling people a bitch, ironic for the one actually bitching.
@@marcup1584 American restaurants could he cheaper because we use significantly more preservatives and fillers which would lower the cost of food. Not only that but there's more agriculture because it's more fertile land which means more access to food. Also, you can not put all the blame on costs. A lot of the blame can placed on inexperienced and uneducated business who don't do their research. You can also put a lot of blame on a government that doesn't do enough to financially support and cultivate small business or the high costs for renting and buying a building or even just land. Honestly, if anything is going to affect the rate of businesses closing, especially smaller resturaunts, it's not going to be the $2.13 an hour (depends on your state but this is the federal minimum wage) they pay their workers when most of what those minimum wage workers make are literally tips.

@@maybeaspider3456 you’re missing the whole point.
The purpose is to inspire people to cook at home, by showing what’s achievable by making an effort and encouraging people to get into it by showing how much cheaper it CAN be.
Learning to cook/make food is a skill for life. Papa smack.
I do think you should start putting full grocery costs (excluding things you'd likely have on hand already, pantry good and what not) to compare to the serving cost, but also stress how that total cost is still probably cheaper than what you'd end up paying for a fast food run to feed a similar amount of people. Really helps put that stuff into perspective.
This sando looks stellar btw.
Why?
@@creatureofhabit7049 if I'm going to the grocery store, I cant buy per serving. itemizing the ingredients for the whole unit would be really helpful for budgeting.
Not to mention stand mixer and other special tools. I want to get into cooking and I just moved out, but I don't have anything and it's a little overwhelming knowing where to start
@@AlwayZash You can buy a cheap stand mixer for 60$ it doesn't have as much features but it does simplify the process and save you time. You could wait till black friday comes and get a deal on a good stand mixer, it's not like you're buying a stand mixer more than once.
Or if we're keeping with theme of this video just mix with your hands, it will take longer but you will reach the same destination. If you want to learn about cooking basics you can find that info on youtube, I've been learning alot from "Pro home cooks" but you could probably find similar channels
@@AlwayZash You can always *literally always* do everything by hand, from the Kitchen Aid bread mixing to even mincing meat. He mentions it often in many of his videos. What you probably should do is look up some general cooking techniques and start small. He has years of experience and a lot of his but cheaper videos focus on making things from scratch to cut costs. Start with simple things like baking a white bread, cooking eggs (it's cheap and is cooked with multiple methods), making sauces.
Pasta is super cheap, for anyone trying to be extremely budget conscious while trying to maintain calories to keep or gain weight. Using beans and eggs for most protein is cost effective, and making your own bread is extremely rewarding as well and cuts some cost. Learn to cook rice as well if you don't know how already. Eggs and rice go amazing together, beans and rice go amazing together. Potatoes are also extremely cheap and extremely versatile. Chicken will be your cheapest meat, outside of lunch meat. Keep lunch meat and bread and cheese on hand for when you're legit too lazy to cook anything at all, just to put something in your stomach.
The skills you learn cooking cheap with making your own bread and your own potato stuff? It all goes into making something as fancy and delicious as gnocchi. B)
Josh doesn't have many videos like that on the simple subjects, but I recommend Binging with Babish and his Basics with Babish series, he and Josh have actually worked together before.
Start with Essential Kitchen Tools (Josh also has an awesome video on the tools he considers most important in the kitchen) and work your way up from there.

Total prices would be way more helpful than prices per serving. I've been saying this since the start of this series, I feel like having per serving prices is mostly useless unless you're gonna be cooking for a small group of people or something.
Okay I wasn't gonna edit this comment because I didn't think it was necessary but seeing how many people commented on it I'm gonna have to do it. I'm not saying the series is misleading or wrong, I just said total prices would be a good addition on the videos. Yes you can multiply the cost of each serving to get a total price I know that, but I still feel like having the total prices for some items would help people with a tight budget, I know some ingredients you may already have in hand but sometimes it could help having the total price to have a better idea of what you're gonna be spending and plan your budget better (and yes I do know that prices vary in different places so I understand it might be asking much). I think that's all and hope I cleared some stuff out so people don't get so pressed over this... Anyways have a good day everyone and also thanks to everyone who liked the comment, I didn't expect to get this many likes lol.
Completely agree. I've thought this from the start
Yeah, maybe, but nowadays, most people don't cook for large groups of people anymore. Plus the serving price gives you a point of comparison to bought items and what drives the price for larger groups is mostly the meat components...
@@petrichor9417 even if you’re cooking for one person, you don’t go out to buy stuff in servings do you? You’ll pretty much always be buying the same amount
You're either lazy or pretentious (or both). It's called leftovers. Learn to reuse, and expect to maybe eat the same thing for a few meals in a row. Most of the ingredients here would last a couple weeks in the fridge and could be used for something else. (FYI, that expiration date on your carton of eggs? yea... Add 5 weeks to it; they'll still be good).
Edit: And if you have something you don't think you'll use soon? Simple! Just google how long it can be kept in the freezer. Most stuff will last for months.

7:23 just kills me "egg is Bussin" he channeled a whole other person to say it
The amount of dirty pans alone makes me want to buy the premade one lol
you can probably just toast the buns and fry all the random stuff in the same pan tbh, would save a few
For real though just use one pan. Unless stuff is actually stuck to the pan then you can just wipe it out with a paper towel and use it again
Life hack: you can use the same pan to fry multiple different things, especially if they're all going on the same sandwich.
Honestly though, y'all just want to hate. If you're cooking, they'll be pans to wash. It's not rocket science.
Why would you use more than one pan for this lol

I am so happy I found you and you get to do what you love. Congrats on the success, it's clear to me it's from years of hard work and passion. Keep it up! I love watching and making your food.
No matter how many of his videos I watch I will never get over how he says or describes things in his videos
For the sheer sake of discussion: if time is money , are these dishes actually cheaper ?? 🤔
It definatly adds a lot of cost but it doesnt make stuff comparable. If i was to make this as a single i could probaly pull it of in a hours active time. If i was to make it for 5 it would take me just over an hour making the price wastly different
Not if it takes 4 hours
If you have the time, then you save the money making it yourself.
Okay here's how I'd tackle this to better manage the time: Since the most amount of time is spent on the bread, I'd just make a bunch of those in advance in like a weekend and then store them. Then when I need to make the sandwich all I need to do is spend 20 minutes making the rest of the stuff and then make the sandwich itself. Yes I'd spend the 20 minutes because it's worth it for the taste and quality. It can take even less than 20 minutes if you have your breads prepared and if you're a skilled cook like Josh here. So I guess they wouldn't be as cheap if you did all the steps on the same day, but can be made much cheaper if you can manage the process and time if you did that.
Or at least that's how I'd do it, hehe
Yes, there is also the intrinsic value add of learning a skill and the satisfaction of doing something awesome yourself.
I appreciate the price break down, but that's if you're making like 2 dozen sandwiches. For the average joe, you're gonna spend like $25 to buy all the ingredients to make one sandwich then have a shit ton of leftover ingredients.
Make multiple and freeze them?
A number of these ingredients are things you might already have at home. At any rate, if you're buying all those ingredients, you are likely to be able to use them to make several sandwiches over a long period of time, so you still get your savings.
Not to mention this is gonna take a shit ton of time to make
Yeah, love Josh but this is pretty facetious. Just making the bread is an insane undertaking to save like 5 bucks. Ice cubes in the oven to steam your special buns? If you're on an insane budget this is just a crazy recipe overall. Still fun to watch but let's be honest... nobody on a budget will have this much time anyway.
The average joe will put the ingredients in their pantry or fridge and use them over a period of time for multiple meals, and with the exception of the sliced meat the ingredients he used here have a shelf life of weeks or even months. I'm sorry but you're an idiot if you think the "leftover ingredients" are a waste, just store them and use for other meals like a regular person.
I swear, Josh, Ethan Chlebowski and Babish must be in cahoots today
I got tomorrow's three meals lined up, lmao.
All Ethan gave us was some beans
@@baljeezy I'll make a Taco or some shit, it's the ideas and inspiration that I take from these vids, not always full recipes.
You can definitely make this cleanup easier by rinsing the pan in between each thing, the tomato, meat, egg, bread. And you can buy the bread to make it easier yet. Quicker breakfast with less cleanup 👍 awesome idea Josh!
As someone who makes homemade bread on the regular, and knows the stunning majority of it is just waiting, I liked the video just for Josh's rant about people saying "bread takes too long to make :(" because frustration with people who think bread making is a super power is a mood.
Great video, definitely making this tomorrow! I gotta nitpick though, there’s a reason plumbing contractors don’t make their own pipes. Time is money, and the hours it takes to extrude pvc using whatever dinky setup they threw together, definitely costs more than what they’re saving on raw materials. If it takes you 3 hours (super conservative estimate, not including bake time) to make the ciabatta buns, at minimum wage where I live ($15.20/h) that would be $45.60 in time. Honestly, unless you REALLY enjoy baking, and the fun factor more than makes up for the time spent, you’re better off supporting your local bakery by buying from them. Super niche trades exist for a reason, it’s just more efficient that way. The seemingly high price of their bread compared to the mass-produced crap in grocery stores reflects the tools and experience they INVESTED in their trade (plus some profits obv). All that being said, fuck trendy cafes that charge $12 for a breakfast sandwich, that’s different, they’re just greedy.

You spend at most 10 minutes actively making the bread. The rest of the time is for proofing / cooking, which is hands-off.
@@matt475 for some breads, true, not ciabatta though. I'm not against making breads at home of course, I make my own too.
@@andrewdatcu870 It sits, you fold it every once in a while, while proofing. Not hard to do. And takes only a couple minutes per fold session. If you have the right tools, you don't even have to get your hands dirty. It's no more than 10 minutes hands-on for the entire process.
Edit: I don't follow Weissman's recipe for making Ciabatta, but it's pretty close, somethin I learned a few years ago.
@@matt475 Unless you work from home with really flexible hours, you're probably not getting much done during the 1 hour intervals between folds lol. It might be doable for some people I guess. Mixing the ingredients and tossing them in a breadmaker is way more reasonable for most people's scedules, its entirely hands-off. I don't think you can make ciabatta that way though.
“You know what else has juices running all over itself? B-ROLL”
They had us in the first half not gonna lie
I feel like a nice addition to the description of the videos you make would be a list of (recommended) equipment. The ingredients list is super nice and helpful for use after viewing the video, but also having a list to check for equipment like a cast iron pan would be really nice.
For this, honestly there doesn't need to be. That's the great thing about bread making. Yes you can use a stand mixer with a hook, but you don't need to. Really all you need is a container for the dough starter, plastic wrap and 2 hands. Cooking should never "require" gear in my opinion. Keep it simple. Good quality ingredients, attention to detail, patience, and time. That's all that's needed.

It must be so nice, having access to such cheap food.
In Canada, the prices are much higher on most of the things you include in your meals. Surprisingly though, a few of the things are much cheaper.
I would also like to mention, that saran wrap is not free, neither is parchment paper, and butter is definitely not free either.
Just commented something similar! Cooking at home is still way cheaper than going out, because *wow* have restaurant prices skyrocketed in the last year. But it gets tiring seeing all these "cheap" recipes and meal plans knowing if I make it it'll cost 2-3 times as much. As a former Chef I've considered starting a "good food on a budget" channel for Canadians but my kitchen is crap and I don't think anyone wants to watch me struggle in my galley kitchen at weird video angles when there's all these aesthetically appealing channels already on youtube :P
@@findingfrugal2093 I'm a retired cook, I've never liked the term chef, as the only difference between being a cook or a chef is recognition of educational institutions.
But the actual work remains the same.
As for creating a Canadian budget meal series on your channel, I would do it. There are so many people who could benefit from it. Practical cooking is quickly becoming a lost art. I live in Alberta, it's 9:50 am my time, and about 3 hours ago, I started cooking paprika coconut chicken drum sticks.
It's a wonderful meal coupled with either mashed potato's or rice with a food cost of around $10.00 cad and makes enough to feed 4.
If you're wondering why I would cook something like that so far away from dinner time, the answer is my nephew (who I helped raise from the age of 8) is currently building a house nearby, and I thought if he has the time to swing by, he can have a hearty home cooked lunch.
@@0donny Fair play about the term "chef", for some reason non-professionals get confused when a pro-cook doesn't refer to themselves as a chef so I just got into the habit online lol
I might see about doing some videos, I have most of the stuff necessary to film on my phone and I cook constantly. Wouldn't be the video quality of channels like this one but some people might still find value in it.
That sounds absolutely delicious and I hope your nephew appreciates you thinking about him! I'm in BC so if I get in the car now I can be there in time for dinner ;) Have a great day!
@@findingfrugal2093 I think it'd be a good idea, something you should seriously consider!.
And yes it's a really good dish very easy to make, just a little time consuming and I know he'll enjoy it, since his GF is a vegan and he doesn't get to eat meat very often.
You have a great day too!
I feel like In a series called "but cheaper" you probably shouldn't expect people who need a series called "but cheaper" to have a cast iron pan, pizza steel, the ability to keep the oven on for so long, and a blowtorch
Yeah no, this series is a farce. It's restaurant economics, not realistic home cooking economics.
Yeah, but you have a brain. Use it. Adapt the recipe to what you do you have.
@Jaren Browne If they werent necessary, he should provide options, especially for the pizza steel and cast iron pan.

Aussie here, I lived in the US for several years and you're kidding yourself if you think that the produce is better there. Food is cheaper, but much lower quality. You can get really good food, but it's a lot more expensive than here.
Eating out in the US is cheaper (even with a 20% tip) than here because their wages are far lower than Australia.
The produce here in Aus is a pretty high standard. I don't think I've ever seen anything on this channel or say, Babish etc. where I've thought that food in the US is better. Except Kosher salt :)
Americans get better produce? Are you sure. maybe in California.

1:25 Wendy's breakfast in a nutshell.😂
I really enjoy this series, and, regardless of the food cost, I think it's a great way to inspire people to try making "gourmet" foods at home. I'm curious though, how do you buy ingredients for these episodes? At a regular grocery store, the quantities you can buy for some items are limited by the pre-packaged sizes of that item that they sell. So, unless you go to a farmer's market, you're probably going to be buying several servings' worth of ingredients for items like this, which you'd be challenged to use before they go bad if you live on your own.
That’s so true. Like for example, I was gonna make some lo mein, and found I had to buy sesame oil. The only oil Walmart carried was a 15 ounce container of sesame oil….
15…ounces…
I brought it home and to my utter disgust I found I only needed like 3 drops of the shit. It’s been sitting in my pantry for 9 months now and I haven’t touched it since.
@@ehh2681 lol that's funny, honestly though the fact that you made lo mein makes me think you'd be willing to cook other things. I'm just saying that there are so many uses for sesame oil.

I'm sixteen years old and I've started cooking these but cheaper recipes for my family. Kind of hard to go out to eat at a nice breakfast place when you have 6 people to feed.
That’s so sweet of you, I hope your family are grateful for what you to for them - you’re doing great!
@@maisj26 Yea I get my younger siblings to help me and we all have a great time :)
Fun fact: if you didn't just happen to have all the ingredients in the house, it would cost more than 11 dollars.
But not per Sandwich
Not true. The price is based on the cost of the item and amount it can make Hence the amount used can be calculated in the full product costs.
When you don’t have a stand mixer;
“$200 breakfast sandwich”
@@reecegeorgens1755 or just use your hands like 90% of the world does idk
@@johnree6106 can you buy 1000 grams of flour? No. You can only buy 5 lb bags of flour for 4-5 dollars. If you bake a lot, this isn't an issue. But let's say you don't, like most people living in the developed US. You have bought a whole bag of flour and now have most of it left, taking up space in your cabinet. You can't buy very specific quantities like this. I'm sure the sandwich is great, but is it cheaper? No.
I literally just bought the book because of this video. Thank you.
dude great to see how successful the channel has become
Goes out with family for the convenience, not to spend 6 hours in the kitchen building a breakfast sandwich for halftime of the 1pm football game......so much for breakfast and lunch
To be fair you learn a lot about a person when you share a kitchen. The quality time and comfort ability ( that’s not a word 😯) gives more memories than an underpaid waiter and slightly cold surroundings
@@chloehaynes3718 as a retired chef and family man, I totally get your point, but the amount of time to make these, means getting up at 3am to make breakfast, and that's where I find most CopyCat vids to be hilarious, they are great info but generally impractical this serving little use.
@@2AChef-n-BBQ you can make the bread ahead of time...
@@raviatm of course you can but that's not the implication of the vid.
@@2AChef-n-BBQ watch until the end... are you sure youre a chef? do you make bread to order?
A breakfast sandwich that can be made in only two weeks!! Amazing stuff, gonna do this every morning from now on. Mornings have never been easier
Smh Josh, such a breakfast sandwich rookie move not cutting a slit in the mortadella so it doesn’t cup up
5:05 its called Algerian sauce mate 😃
Egg drip to music was perfect. 🤤
I got your cookbook and on top of it being hilarious, it just FEELS like a high quality product. The pages feel really nice, the cover is very solid. 11/10 would recommend
Fourteenth time telling PAPA to make:
- Mapo Tofu.
Yanno, once you watch this series and think for a minute you realize American restaurants really overprice their food for establishments that don't pay their workers even minimum wage.
Restaraunt workers make way mote than minimum wage once you factor in tips. And restaraunt owners have rent to pay so that you can sit in the restaraunt and eat the food.
Stop being a bitch.
If it was such an easy business, we wouldn't have over half of new restaurants failing within the first year and 80% of new ones closing within the first five years. There is A LOT of costs associated with running a restaurant, it's not just the worker wages... Plus, american restaurants are honestly a good bit cheaper than most western european ones, especially if you compare to somewhere like the UK.
@@natehiggers42069 Uh, that's not for every American resturaunt. In fact, employers only have to pay workers $2.13 (federal minimum wage)as long as their tips equal up to minimum wage. So they get away with paying their employees barely anything while customers make up the difference. Not only that but there's a significant amount of illegal underpaying with minimum wage/tipped jobs and these issues go largely unreported because people have been so desperate for work they're willing to be mistreated. This also affects minority communities disproportionately to others in America. So not only do smaller resturaunt owners not pay as much in wages as other small businesses, customers make up the difference and pay people for merely doing their job.
You should also note that the tipping industry in America literally came from people not wanting to pay black people a real wage. Not only that but even 13 years ago research showed that customers give larger tips to white workers than black workers regardless of service.
Lmao customers pay to sit and eat food. It's stupid to try and use that as an argument as if it's a privilege to be able to sit in a restaurant we pay for as consumers to eat the food we pay for.
Also, you complain about rent which some would also argue should be cheaper and is currently overinflated.
I think you need to educate yourself about the things you try to talk about before being rude and calling people a bitch, ironic for the one actually bitching.
@@marcup1584 American restaurants could he cheaper because we use significantly more preservatives and fillers which would lower the cost of food. Not only that but there's more agriculture because it's more fertile land which means more access to food.
Also, you can not put all the blame on costs. A lot of the blame can placed on inexperienced and uneducated business who don't do their research. You can also put a lot of blame on a government that doesn't do enough to financially support and cultivate small business or the high costs for renting and buying a building or even just land.
Honestly, if anything is going to affect the rate of businesses closing, especially smaller resturaunts, it's not going to be the $2.13 an hour (depends on your state but this is the federal minimum wage) they pay their workers when most of what those minimum wage workers make are literally tips.
@@blu5018 imagine writing 8 paragraphs on a TH-cam comment section to demonstrate that you have no idea what you're talking about. Would've just been easier to write "i don't know what im talking about, but here's me half baked opinion. Oh and also i'm a racist"
i think that people who want quick and simple recipes need to just find a channel which does exactly that instead of whining in this guy’s comments. joshua does fancy recipes, it’s just his thing
that second tomato was gorgeous
So early. Let’s goooooo
Cost of ingredients: $1.85
Cost of labor and equipment: $21.95
Lol cost of labor and equipment is just 21$?? You need to go to kitchen tech stores. That stand mixer alone could be near 90$. That oven? Def over 200$
@@btsarmyforever3816 I was breaking it down per unit over the lifetime of the equipment. His kitchen probably costs over $100000. Divide that by 20000 breakfast sandwiches he will make in it
@@jarbaralhut1810 Ahh I see. Got it. But I don't know anyone who would make breakfast sandwich everyday. As such the cost of ingredients might differ then. Could be oatmeal the next day. No one eats just sandwiches for a lifetime. Labor and equipment might also differ. Like just a stove and pot is enough for a lot of dishes.
@@btsarmyforever3816 It's just a simplification to account for the cost of equipment. Accountants do this all the time when they need to measure the depreciation of an asset.
I'm feeling called out by the Netflix/bread comment, as someone who loves Josh's recipes and has yet to make any of the bread. Yes, even though the cookbook demands it. Maybe I'll finally make it soon.
I like sitting down on my couch and watching these kinds of youtube videos sometimes and cool video man :]
I LOVE watching these (food porn) but no way am I spending all that time (what, 6 days?) with all the prep work. Surprised he does not start by planting his own wheat! Gotta admire people that love / have cooking as their time sink hobby!
LMAO....”that looks like a Saturday night” gonna get you a R rating😆😆😆
The dollar menu at McDonalds just started sweating anxiety at how cheap this is.
Lol
First, count the costs of going and buying all ingredients.
Mc,D's isn't worried a bit.
While a handful of people take two days to make a single breakfast sandwich, they've sold over 100.
Lol
I make that same sauce for our rice meals. Spam n rice, chicken n rice, fried rice... It's so good, I also mix a Truffle seasoning in with it. /drool

yes, numbers are cool
Start making at 8am and you'll complete it just in in time for dinner 😑
"Is a burger with an egg on it a breakfast sandwich?"
Emphatically yes. Steak and eggs is a breakfast dish, steak is beef, burgers are also beef. Add the egg, that's breakfast.
Cheese, ham, tomatoes, eggs, vegetables. I was satisfied with the hamburger with plenty of ingredients.
I’m watching this after buying a breakfast sandwich for 11$. But it was worth it. It had egg, cheese, SAUCE, and bbq glazed coffee rubbed pork belly. Worth it. Idc.
gotta love josh man, "top of the morning. top of the morning, top of the morning,"
i would pay 20$ for a breakfast sandwich before i spent the week to make this.
I'm just happy I'm vegetarian and can afford local eggs, greens, and my own veggie garden.
