Frank's backstory becoming bald at 3:10
came here for this comment
@@TranceCore3 ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Guess theres like lots of people throwing out the juices 🤣
We finally got the story behind Frank's hair! The Epicurious lore deepens
I wish someone admired me as much as Frank admires his gravy
Lol thts funny! (& a lil sad)
Check the mirror! Love yourself first, then others will follow.
@@KleinerHermano Thanks Dr. Drew! They are clearly joking.
Chef Frank- Do you have a video for vegetarian gravy?
I wish someone admired me as much as I admire Frank's gravy.
I love these informative and educational videos with chef Frank, I would also love to see some of a similar style with chef Saúl
If you mean how to make the perfect tacos, enchiladas, burritos, quesadillas, nachos, salsas, guacamoles and queso, yes
plz yes!@@Rath460
Don't you dare tell me my gravy is too thick, Frank. I want to be able to slice that ambrosia.
i love how chef frank uses such simple ingredients to make deep complex flavors. sometimes the special ingredients shine but, with great technique and practice, even ordinary simple ingredients can taste so AMAZING. thank you chef🔥
Love a video with Frank, informative and entertaining all in one package!!!
Glad to know my family has been making gravy the best way for decades. I also go insane when I see people throw out all those turkey drippings!
OMG. I followed Chef Frank's instructions and turned out some excellent gravy. And, so easy. Wow.
Why did you make it so early?
It's fantastic, the idea of using the vegetables to support the roast. Makes perfect sense, but it never occurred to me. Thank you, Frank, and I hope you have a marvelous Thanksgiving.
Frank must really be so mad at people throwing away the juice so many times that he pull out all his hair 😂
Outstanding teacher.
I love this guy's vibes. Knowledgeable and confident but not cocky or overly prescriptive. Like a slightly more serious Chef John. You can see the experience - it makes a big difference.
3:09 “i’ve seen people throw this away and it made made me pull my hair out” LOL
I was crying
I'm exactly like that when I see someone dispose of the Beacon Grease. NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remembering his early appearances, Frank is so comfortable in front of the camera now.
I love Chef Frank. My grandmother made a gravy that was thicker. It was delicious. I poured it almost over everything at Thanksgiving. Yay, gravy! Thank you for sharing, Chef Frank.
I really like watching Frank, he takes the difficult makes it doable, thanks Frank!
Loving these sauce videos, I've definitely become a fan of the fond (F-O-N-D). Thanks as always!
Praying we get one of Frank making the best turkey before Thanksgiving!
This was my contribution to my thanksgiving dinner with my parents, and we LOVED it. My dad brines our thanksgiving turkeys, so there were substantially more juices to cook down and caramelize, and the gravy ended much darker and thicker as a result. My mom was a bit squeamish over the neck, but once it got strained, she couldn't get enough of it. Thank you, Master Proto.
His instruction and pancake recipe is undefeated! This first time i found him and all i can remember is “dont stir “ leave it alone lol 😂 which is the keep to a perfect pancake batter!
"I've seen people throw this away, and it made me pull me hair out."
Well, that explains why Frank is bald
Perfect no fail recipe! I’ve been making it this way for years thanks to my sweet mother in laws’ instructions many years ago. Great informative video thank you!👏👏👏👍
This is one in a million recipe I bet the taste is heavenly 😋👌 job well done chef ❤
it's just regular gravy
Thank you chef! I will be following my Thanksgiving turkey and gravy as you instructed in this video.
This guy is the absolute best for recipes. Wish everyone watched him, and so glad i found him.
Best Pancakes!
Frank, I love you. I have struggled with gravy for years, to the point where I no longer try. I take everything in the bottom of the pan and use that as the base for stuffing (which means I make a delicious stuffing). I used this method with some chicken wings and a turkey neck as a test run and it came out better than any gravy I've ever previously made. So now I've got the problem of wanting to use my turkey dripping mirepoix base for two things. May need to roast 2 turkeys this year...
Dude! Proto….that reflection in the pan looking down at the mirepoix was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! Rock on Proto…rock on.
Now we know how Frank lost his hair😂😂
I love these videos! Learning so much.
Everyone acknowledging how he pulled his hair out but no one said anything bout him touching a hot pan out the oven with both hands lol
😂😂😂 I didn’t even notice that
I love how one of the steps to making gravy is cooking a whole bird first
Inusually cut the back out and make the stock the day before. Brine the turkey overnight and spatchcock cook. Then I just thicken the stock. Perfect.
Thank you Chef! I followed this recipe and made perfect, delicious, gravy for the first time in 25 years of cooking Thanksgiving dinner
This is the first time I've ever disagreed with Frank. Gravy should be thick, at least certainly thicker than that watery sauce he made.
No. Gravy should definitely not be thick
@@jayharv285 it should be thicker then water
The very first time I cooked for Thanksgiving, I had just finished cooking the bird and went to prep the drippings to make gravy. Without thinking, I dumped the drippings out. I was devastated.
Doh!
I love this technique of leaving the vegetables in through the whole process of making the gravy. Saves a lot of time not having to pick everything out first before making the roux. Now I want to buy a turkey just to make this gravy! Thanks, Chef. One more thing, some cooks add a splash of white wine. What do you think?
Thank you chef, you just saved me a ton of time at the holidays. Thanksgiving and Christmas I am the main cook who serves about 40+ people. The turkey and gravy are key components of the meal. I do the same thing with my turkey ie laying it on top of the vegetables but for the gravy I roast the neck, innerds and vegetables in a separate roasting pan and then transfer to a Dutch oven and cover with stock/broth and let it simmer for several hours. Once the turkey is nearly done I add the pan drippings to my pot and I use a cornstarch slurry to thicken. I love your way but would like to know how to make it for 40 people please.
I just love how he took the effort to spell out F-O-N-D but not mirapououix or whatever that is 😂
Roo or R-O-U-X is also basic french cooking. Be prepared to experiment a little and extrapolate recipes according to taste. You definitely don’t want to do it this exact way unless you’re baking.
Great video ! I learnt a few things I'd like to do next time I roast a turkey.
It’s summer and now I want Thanksgiving.
Im going to play your teaching video on Thanksgiving day. 😊
Thank You Chef Frank Merry Christmas 🎄🇨🇦🎄
3:10 "It made me pull my hair out" hahaha ... wait
"it made me pull my hair out"
Therefore, he has seen so many people throw that stuff away. Make him lost all his hair
This is as much a tutorial on gravy as it is on a great Turkey. Bravo
we like a little white wine in the turkey gravy as well.
Thanks Chef Proto! This was siper easy and a total hit with the family this year!
3:09 “it made me pull my hair out” 😮
3:11 I think credit cards made Dave Ramsey pull his hair out.
Leaving the skins on onions: I don't know, I honestly cannot remember the last time I went into a store, and didn't see at least a couple of spots on the outer layer that made me suspicious that it was fungus
Its not fungus.
After a career living all over the place, it might be where you live. Humid spots like east of the MS River, yeah, a lot of mold; west of the MS, especially into the Rockies (where I live now) I haven't seen that black stuff in years.
It’s not fungus 🤦🏽♂️
3:08 Now we know where Frank's hair went :D
"..i want it to flavor my juices.." Chef, don't you need pineapple for that?
😂😂😂 If you know, you know..
How delicate and perfect making .the chef is honestly a masterpiece 💖👌😘👍
Used this for Thanksgiving this year, it was a smash hit! Ended up running out haha
“and it made my pull my hair out” is an underrated line
My favorite chef instructor !
That's great - thanks! I am roasting a bird today & have all the ingredients, so I will try this.
Looks great!
I'll try it out soon enough with some coquettes.
Frank, I love the content and presentation. You know juice is a liquid, and as a liquid it can't relax or get tense. The flesh of the turkey can absorb or reject the liquid. You know this because you are smart. Liquids don't relax.
That pull my hair out joke went by so fast. He needed a small pause to let the laughs sink in.
This was amazing!! Thank you!
Thank you, Chef Proto. This is the best video on turkey gravy that I have ever seen!
Love that you put the stuff in the bottom of the pan. Our gravy gets much darker though.
outstanding! I need to try this
Very nice job !
Cool. Happy Thanksgiving!
I made this. Best gravy I’ve ever made! Thank you!!
I ❤ Frank!
The last time I made gravy, I had a LOT of juice and I just mixed it with flour to thicken and a packet of chicken bouillon for flavor and salt content. And I ate it with EVERYTHING.
TY! Next gravy will include reduction and a Fond! Be well. 😊🇨🇦
You are a great teacher. You can tell the proportions of the ingredients. Explain why it is so much better. Thanks to your videos, my cooking quality went up three rounds. Can I ask you for a video on BBQ sauce? Thank you for your creation.
This was absolutely awesome. I did it today for our Thanksgiving turkey. It turned out perfect, like yours, Chef Frank. Thanks!
„..and it made me pull my hair out“. says a guy, bald as a bowling ball. hilarious ;)
3:08 " I've seen people throw this out, and it made me pull my hair out."
The chef has seen this too many times I guess.
I don’t care how many vegetables and herbs you add- salt and pepper is not enough.
i love chef frank
I would serve with the vegetables and a couple boiled potatoes on the side. At least the carrots! And maybe some salty buttery green peas...And some nice and sweet lingonberry jam too. Yum!
I make my gravy like yours. Except that I do add just a few ounces of white wine just after the flour has cooked down and before adding the chicken broth. That little bit of wine adds a little more complexity to the taste.
Just wow
My dad always gets his own boat of gravy, "Goo-ood gravy!" ❤
I'm going to try this out this year! I did the exact same thing except everything done in the roasting pan done in the stock as a flavor booster there. This won't take over a burner on the stove all day of cooking and I bet those aromatics of the mirepoix add a nice flavor to the bird, too!
I would suggest also about halfway through cooking process to tip the bird backwards and get the juice accumulating in the cavity out into the pan.
A necessity of Thanksgiving!
You cook that liver on a pan and enjoy it with wine as the chef's special treat. -- Chef Pépin
THANK YOU!!!!
Here's a tip: ahead of time soften 2-3 tbsp. of butter in a dish. Add 2-3 tbsp. of flour and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and put it back in the fridge. When making gravy, simply adding flour like this guy does can lead to annoying lumps. Instead add the butter/flour you prepared earlier. TA DA. No lumps. The French call it Buerre Manie.
Great tips, thank you!!!!!!!!!
Great video once again this guy is awesome.
OK Frank , Im cooking my turkey, my dressing and making gravy according to your instructions! My Thanksgiving meal is in your hands!
How'd it go?
I live this ❤
I guess frank watched too many people throwing their drippings XD
Waw, this is the best gravy i ever had in my life. I Thank you sir
Another tip: Do you still need more liquid, but you're out of stock? Use some of the water you boiled your potatoes in. That salty, starchy water is a nice addition to your gravy. Oops, your gravy is too thin? No problem--just stir in a plop of mashed potatoes.
This is amazing an all but won’t make enough gravy for a crowd. How do you make more?
I usually put the Mirepoix in later because since they are mostly liquid, they would steam thus stunting possible browning on the meat.
One thing I like to do is finish by mounting butter to the sauce.
TIL how Frank lost his hair. 3:07 😂
Frank, my mom wants you to know that she made the best gravy of her life tonight when she decided to try something different and follow your recipe
how did you keep that turkey warm while you were doing this?
My Mom taught me to use gravy flour-like Wondra- I guess it's just finer, more smooth?
I cant tell if "it made me pull my hair out" 3:11 is an ironic joke or a factual event that happened in frank's youth
