About NYT Cooking:
All the food that’s fit to eat (yes, it’s an official New York Times production).
Excellent. An expert like this will humbly say "No need to get crazy, just use your eye," and then quietly show you exactly how experienced and talented they are. This plate is a marvel to look at, and it looks so effortless
That’s how I knew this would be a good video
This video rescued Thanksgiving! My father-in-law, who always carved the Thanksgiving bird, passed away last year. My mother in-law asked for a volunteer yesterday (no takers...). After watching Barrett's instructions, I was able to passably carve the bird and Thanksgiving was saved. Thanks NYT!
I can’t believe I have been carving a Turkey wrong for 40 years. This looks simple and easy and will give it a try this thanksgiving
Easy but if bird is too hot it can be frustrating. If too hot wear a pr. Of good fitting kitchen gloves.
This method of carving really is the best !
That's the mistake I always make !
Trying to carve it when it's still too hot.
Not making that mistake this year.
Glad i found this video. So easy to carve a Turkey. I was always doing it wrong and being too hot made it much harder.
You’re not carving it wrong. This is just one of many carving methods. Think of driving a Ford Truck down the road and then seeing other Truck brands on the road; that doesn’t mean your Trucking wrong. 😂
You should rest the bird for the same amount of time you cooked it. So if you cooked it 2 hours, you rest it 2 hours.
@@briancantale2674 that is just wrong because if you have a big bird you’re gonna be cooking it for like 5 to 6 hours and you’re not gonna want to let your meat sit for 5 to 6 hours😂
This was such a helpful video! I carved my first turkey and it was east and quick. Thank you!
Fantastic videography! One of the best demonstrations I've seen online. Thank you!
Very good video… Now while the turkey is resting, I’m going to sharpen the knife
Barrett's calm approach calms me as I head into the kitchen. Thanks!
I genuinely clicked on this thinking you'd gotten Dave Matthews to carve a turkey on TH-cam
Perfect! I love your step-by-step instructions. I feel like a pro already, thank you.
And once you've done this, it's stone cold.
It’s not an EASY job when the turkey (or chicken ) is hot, but it IS satisfying & effective. I was taught this way by my dad & am always called to carve.
I roast a chicken once a month., I carve it all & b/c I LOVE the bones - the carcass is my meal (just my husband & me)! Weird I know ! (Sometimes the carcass is for soup) ENJOY
Followed these instructions to the letter and it was *amazing*: simple, low-stress, beautiful. I kept the bird covered with foil + a towel while resting, then transferred portions of the bird back to the covered pan as I broke down the turkey, then sliced for serving onto a platter, also covered with foil between additions. This kept everything perfectly warm for serving. Also, highly recommend the vinyl gloves for insulation as Barrett suggests as the inner portions of the bird will still be quite hot. THANK YOU, Barrett!
This is awesome. I have always been elected to be the turkey carver (don’t know why). This is an excellent tutorial!!! Thank you!
Thank you so much! The best turkey carving video I've seen so far and I've seen quite a few over the years. I like how you showed where the bones were and how to work around them. The finished plate was beautiful.
@user-dj8yb6if8roh give the poster a break. You know what he meant. The d is next to the s. Sheesh.
This is amazing! Many thanks! My girlfriend is American (I'm Swedish) and this is our first Thanksgiving together. With a moments notice she told me that I had to do the carving and I panicked.
But I watched this video as I was doing it, and it turned out great! Just wish I had a sharper knife (skin started to slide off on the breast meat). But now I'll know for sure how to do this next year!
We don't really eat Turkey over here except for sandwich meat, so this was exciting!
Seems super easy to do and the finished look is amazing!
This tutorial is awesome! As a cooking enthusiast, having cooking channel, I appreciate your effort in teaching new recipes
Cant wait for holiday food!
Love how you talk about it. Great tips too. Thanks so much for this!
Thank you NYT!! Needed this video 😊
Terrific! I am so grateful to finally know how to carve the turkey. Thanks so very much.
Pretty amateurish coming from a _soi-disant_ (and likely, overpaid) 'Food-Stylist' ... Presentation-wise, and perhaps towards teaching ability as well (including his overall culinary skill-set fundamentals): definitely not of chef-standard caliber! ... Could've done a much more better job at something like this myself.
My vulture family members would unfortunately never wait for that beautiful garnish😂
Beautiful but... isn't the turkey completely cold at this point? I guess it shouldn't take 12 minutes when you are not talking to the camera, but still. And I guess warming up the plates would help.
For me (a woman), the hardest part is to deal with all those men telling me how I should be doing it (and I know how to do it, believe me), then to sit everybody at the table when the turkey is ready...
I CAN'T BELIEVE he's using his left hand!!! OMG. For heaven's sake, USE A BIG CARVING FORK!!
Very useful - thank you! I do wonder though if there is any way to cut up the leg meat? - it seems kind of unfair to just leave two legs when you are probably serving a group of 8+ people. Also I have heard from people who feel very awkward trying to eat a turkey leg at a thanksgiving meal - are you supposed to just caveman eat it or try and cut it up yourself somehow on your plate?
A GREAT VIDEO AS YOU KEEP ALL THE MEAT, FOR SOME PEOPLE I KNOW AS WELL AS HUNDREDS ON HERE LITERALLY TOOS ALL THE DARK MEAT RIGHT INTO THE TRASH (SINFUL). TWO OF MY FAVORITE PARTS ARE THE WINGS AND BACK!!
Use a thinner blade if you have one. Much easier, especially when trimming the breast and removing the thigh bone
doing up a turkey is rather easier because the anatomy is larger and easier to get around... but it becomes muscle memory after a certain point...
The photo with the dotted lines is what I needed! 🤯
How many people here eat the crispy wing tips? I luv 'em! Nice video.
NYT is a propaganda apparatus, but this is decent info.
EXCELLENT! BUT by the time you have finished carving, decorating and serving the meat must be nearly completely cold! How to bypass that?
Would love to see a video on how to easily make a great turkey!
Another masterful lesson from the gays. Clothes, interior decorating, and now Turkey carving. They gotcha covered! Jk-love you guys. Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁
You really gayed up thanksgiving lol
A+. Your personality in a video about turkey carving makes me wish we were neighbors. Artistic and clear and… fckn awesome. Thanks a lot.
Hmmmm. Skipping right over the part where you need it cooked just right, not overcooked so that it falls apart when you look at it, with the skin supernaturally crispy just the way I've never been able to get it.
A good example, but I still prefer the NYT videos of [the late] Ray Venezia carving. Short and to the point instructions from a real butcher.
Why do you handle the meat so much with your hands?
What’s the knife model?
Beautiful job, will carve my deep fried turkey today. Happy Thanksgiving!
Yo you are doing fantastic bro
Excellent video. After watching a video where the guy pulled all the skin off the breast meat to cut it. This is a much needed return to sanity. Thank you
This was incredibly helpful. I usually spend hours after Thanksgiving dinner cutting the meat off the bone to refrigerate it. I decided to carve ahead of time since I've cooked the night before so the meat would cool quicker and I can put it in the refrigerator. This was so easy
Thank you for this. Simple, and straight forward.
Now it really IS Turkey Lurkey Time. Thank you for this great video. 👍
Food stylist. That is a new one
How do you keep the meat warm for serving? That is always the issue for me. It looks amazing, but cooled off too much before it got to the table. 😢
First time making a turkey for my fam and carving it up. Thanks for the help and wish me luck!
I’d pull the meat off the drums because of all the tendons. Get rid of the wing tips.
As if!!!! 😂😂😂
Beautiful brown skin yes 🤎
This was great, but removing the wishbone would have made dealing with that breast a lot easier.
Thank you
Thank you
Brilliant! What time will you be over today to help me?
Inspiring! Thank you! 💕❤️💕
Outstanding job, thank you for this video
Beast
do you have any good recommendations for a good set of Knives?
This looks easy and beautiful 😍
amazing love ya already, from Minnesota
I'm making that plate today. Thanks
Very nice, i have been passing this around. Thank you!
Great video, it really made a difference.
THIS is how it's done!
I love this guy
Did brewstew watch this?
Going to try this method
How do you cut out the wishbone for the kids?
so nice! thanks!
NYT cooking is the new gay heaven tbh
Beautiful!!
how does it not get cold in the process?
If it gets cold you just use hot gravy on it
So… is the Turkey served ice cold by the time all the decorating is done?
He wasted a lot of meat
That’s why you do it Ray Venezias way: th-cam.com/video/MDaPbpokDHk/w-d-xo.html
I'll never understand why people like 🦃. So good we have it all year? Pass the General Tso's chix pls.
your job is to waste food.
This is great in al,l but nothing's going to stop the fact that turkey sucks. Even the best turkey I've ever had, I couldn't help but feel like I would have rather had literally anything else.
LITERALLY anything else huh? I'd serve you a plate of boiled cow testicles then.
Good Info.
Poor carver, in my opinion...
