  • We wanted to make a video in which we examined every type of rice under a microscope and then cooked a dish with each of them, but then we learned that there are more than forty thousand varieties of it. So here are 12 types of rice, examined, explained and prepared by the one and only Amiel Stanek.

    • @gr81disp
      @gr81disp 4 ปีที่แล้ว +27

      Taste wise (with the exception of smoked salts) there are veeeeery few differences between salts (I doubt even Chris could tell). The differences come in 1) Visual presentation 2) Micronutrients from the various impurities that give them their appearance 3) Crystal shape, which impacts salinity/volume (1 tsp of table salt is much saltier than 1 tsp of kosher) and mouth feel if used to finish a dish with.
      After saying all of that, I still want to see an episode on salt :)

    • @davidb5205
      @davidb5205 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      @@gr81disp True. Most of the difference is in the microscopic texture/surface area, not the taste. Iodized salt under a microscope looks cubed, no rough surface. Kosher salt is rough and jagged because it is literally designed to cling to meat and draw out moisture (koshering = draw out blood, usually for religious reasons). Fleur de sel has a really light and delicate crunch that makes it perfect as a finishing salt to sprinkle on pretty much anything.
      Anything generically labelled "sea salt" is a mixed bag because there is no regulation for what constitutes sea salt; it can come from the ocean or a lake or a marsh. And Himalayan pink salt is a marketing fad/scam (yes, it has "minerals" but they are so minuscule, you'd have to consume obscene amounts of salt every day for it to be significant).

      There's really not that much of a difference between salt types, it's mostly marketing. A better one IMO would be maize/corn: Here in the US we are only used to seeing a like 2-3 types, but there's tons in Latin America due to breeding done by Pre-hispanic civilizations like the Aztec which have a variety of different flavors, shapes, and colors.

    there's one thing you forgot to include. how the rice are cooked.
    each variety needs different amounts of rice to get the ideal texture.
    like brown rice and that black rice need almost twice the amount of water that's needed to cook white rice.
    so the asian way of measuring the water to cook the rice with a knuckle doesn't cut it.

      And if their basmati is shorter than jasmine, they're getting the crappiest quality possible. Also, the one they have there doesn't look aged much. By the time it's been aged for a year, the colour changes at the tips, so that you have a slight browning, because it's aged on the paddy, not in the bag.

      recoil53 homebrew shops usually stock them, they come in 1 pound bags, or bigger. They don’t add any color or sugar to the beer, just a handy tool when brewing wheat, rye, or cereal (flaked barley, oats, rice) heavy beers.

    I grew up in a Cantonese family and ate Jasmine rice almost everyday growing up.
