    As a cook at a Maryland hotel, I sometimes fantasize of making crab cakes without Old Bay. Under my old executive chef, we used to get cases of broken Ritz crackers for crab cakes. I like to add the bread/cracker crumbs to the crabmeat a while before adding the wet ingredients. Usually 12 pounds jumbo lump, 6 pounds lump, crumbs, parsley, flavored Hellman’s mayo thinned with extra eggs.

    A note on Kenji’s egg separating method. If you are making meringue make sure your hands are super clean (as they should be) because oil from your hands can stop the white from whipping up. I dealt with this when I didn’t wash up enough after making focaccia.

    • @TheVietnameseCatGoblin
      @TheVietnameseCatGoblin 3 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      It’s actually a myth that fat stops egg whites from whipping up properly. Egg yolks - yes, fat -no. This has been tested by Daniel Gritzer (www.seriouseats.com/is-it-true-not-to-get-yolk-in-egg-whites) and Ann Reardon who whipped a whopping 1 teaspoon of oil into 1 egg white (th-cam.com/video/CPBeMalq5JE/w-d-xo.html). However clean hands and clean bowl is still a good idea because your hands could have had something else to interfere with the meringue

    Made crab cakes just like this the first time I cooked a meal for the woman who eventually became my wife. This was 20 years ago, and I still make them the same to this day. Only difference would be store bought mayo instead of homemade, and I add some oil to the butter to bring the crispy a little higher up the sides of the cakes.

      @lauramiz9674 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@DroogyParade Respectfully, I've been taught differently in the kitchens I've worked in.. Always start with the eggs really cold, crack with your dominant hand through your other hand over the whites bowl, toss your yolk in the yolk bowl. Otherwise you're making additional steps by having to reach in to scoop them out and wasting more eggs with the higher chance of breakage while scooping. I'm not saying your way is wrong, I'm just saying in my experience I get better results cracking them through some vessel to catch the yolk, like your hand or an egg separator (ideally your hand because if one breaks as you're cracking it you just close your fingers before it drips through)
      I guess my point is, if you're going to dirty your hands with egg, you might as well just catch the yolk straight away. I could have probably said it less snottily in my first comment.
      Cheers, and to each their own!

  • @condor7001
    @condor7001 3 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    I typically sear one side and broil the other in the same pan when I make crab cakes, but I agree that cooking both sides on the stovetop comes out better. The reason I've stuck with broiling is just because I buy premade ones (from a high quality butcher shop) and they're formed with a dome on one side - it's just easier for me to keep the flat side in contact with the pan the whole time, instead of the dome side rolling around or trying to smash them flat and risking breakage. The biggest downside I've noticed isn't even related to final doneness or browning. When you serve with the domed side up, chunkier garnishes (I tend to go with pico de gallo with a bit of habanero and mango or pineapple) have trouble adhering, which makes it annoying to get a cohesive bite. Not annoying enough that I'll bother addressing it when cooking for myself, but definitely a consideration when serving guests

Even though we ate at some great restaurants (and all of them were observing 50% capacity and face masks), we still found ourselves eating half our meals from Metropolitan. Have you had a chance to form an opinion of them?

    The hand egg separation works great if you can reliably break eggs with one hand. I can break eggs one-handed, but not reliably, so I prefer the method where you pass the egg between the two shell halves. Of course that itself depends on you being able to reliably crack eggs into two solid halves, which not everyone can do. The cool thing about separating eggs is there's like a dozen different methods that all work for people with different skill sets.

    If you need to separate egg yolks from whites you can use a plastic water bottle.

      Chefs are notoriously bad at measuring by the book (although I know Kenji can if he wants to) because they measure by "feel" 90% of the time.
      By the way I don't mean for that to be a dig, it's a sign of expertise!

      That's what I like about Kenji. He observes great portion control. Just enough food so that nothing gets wasted. A lot of his recipes are pretty high in calories, and if you're eating breakfast, lunch and dinner, you don't need a big meal for each part of the day.

      I struggled to find one that fits my immersion blender like that, I use one that is narrow at the bottom and widens further up. It works just fine. As long as the bottom of the container is only a little wider than the head of the blender I think it should work.

    Kenji! If you're running a Canon DSLR (which I think you are?), have you looked into using Magic Lantern for your video recording? It shouldn't get in the way for still photography at all, but it will make your life recording video much easier. Features like focus peaking and a lot of other video/broadcast cameras make videography with a DSLR much easier.
