So a company called upper crust is famous for producing bread without a crust.
Yes
Yeah
Yes, but also the panko is used to create a crust on fried stuff
More like their bread becomes a crust when cooked
@@thepunisher4356 @Calluna Yes that makes sense I didn't even think of that.
This is like my dream tv show when I was growing up: A mashup of "How it's made" and "Good Eats".
Haha. You are referenced!
Yep
True
Agreed. And Ethan I just made some poblano con queso tacos for dinner last week, really brought me back to when I lived in Mexico. Definitely gonna be a repeat dish, thanks for the video and recipe!
Hehehehhehe you haven’t seen Adam go crazy like in his soup video
Those guys at UpperCrust seem really cool. That was really nice of them to do an interview and explain the process and history of Panko. Also when he brought out the examples of good non commercial use Panko from different companies that he recommends was really awesome. That’s a stand up company in my book.
Those examples are probably from companies they directly sell panko to.
Not a fan of panko crumbs. Way too crunchy. And there is no way to lessen the crunch with anything but water. You can soak them in oil all day and they are still too crunchy.
@@cutwagman lol
@@cutwagman There's no such thing as "too crunchy".
When in doubt, make a sauce or a dip to go with it and then completely cover your panko'ed whatever. That definitely lessens the crunch.
@@lonestarr1490 At some level of crunchiness you will start cutting your mouth.
Anyway, people are allowed to have preferences.
For a company called “Upper Crust” it’s pretty ironic that the bread they make has no crust
"The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"
It becomes the crust when binded together on top of something.
eh

Judging by how it was invented, it's really a missed opportunity to call it tanko.
tbh
Tank doesn't sound good at all. Glad that opportunity was missed.
its never to late ,
I kinda see a tank meme coming here...
When tank was mentioned, I immediately thought of panzer. The name is perfect.
5:19 - I once added Panko to some otherwise standard Bisquik "drop biscuits" on a whim and they were so popular with the girl I was seeing at the time I ended up having to make them 2-3 times a week for the rest of the time we were together. They really are quite good and I'll occasionally try panko in recipes for almost anything doughy now.
d- did you two break up?
@@foxplayingames8484 cringe
How much did you add and did you use it as a replacement for a portion of the bisquik? If so how much?
so did it end after you burnt a batch and it was all over lol?

That presentation on the cardboard was so sweet and wholesome, letting us know what he recommends even if it's competition (in a way). Props to those guys, and thanks for a great video
I suspect the reason he recommends them is because he's the one supplying them.
@@wingracer1614 I don't think so, if he would sell to companies that Just package up his stuff and sell it, he would do it by himself. No need to be so suspicious of everybody
@@kreyzgr5167 You do realize that's normal business right (dammit, my question mark key just quit working). Many of the brands you buy on a daily basis actually produce nothing but packaging and advertisements. And it makes a lot of sense. He might get a couple grocery store chains to distribute his product but not all of them. Some other brand comes along and says we have deals with 5,000 other stores, sell us your stuff so we can sell it to them and ban, a deal is made. I mean he has no retail goods of his own so who do you think he is selling his stuff too
My reason to why he would recommend other brands is that they’re not really in the same market, their company only supplies restaurants so commercial brands that you find in stores won’t really be lost revenue
@@wingracer1614 - Yep, but okay.
The guy showing compaines with good panko all stuck together was wholesome and considerate
It's nice but I'm wondering why they can't sell it directly to us. It sounds like a missed business opportunity to me.
@@1234567895182 might be multiple reasons, taxes, deals with other companies,not worth the effort for them to package smaller portions stuff like that
@@1234567895182 businesses usually have to find a niche to survive in. Their niche is B2B or Business-to-Business sales. Their entire goal is to move mass quantities at a time, but in business volumes.
@@1234567895182 packaging and shelf rental is pain in the ass, even if you don't want to use brick and mortar store to sell your product that means you need to create a website and rent/make your own delivery system
dealing with like a giant sack of bread crumb to customer that don't care if the packaging looks nice and have a very predictable and regular order from location that's not hard to deliver
if you can get away with that, why would you want to go to the store shelf
@@aronseptianto8142 Changing production lines for smaller retail sales would also be a money/management problem if all of your product was sold to other companies anyways.

Well, it's crispy and airy...
The real question is "who is panko?"
@@oliverhart2537 I see you, Drax
Oh god, that cardboard panko presentation melted my cold heart ♥️
I used to work at a factory that produced Panko breadcrumbs. Literally bagged the Panko brand. Really tough, but kind of fun job. Those racks you see the soft bread sitting in, I used to load those of a conveyer belt. The bread would literally just fall apart in your hands if you were just the lightest bit to rough with it. Haven’t worked there in like 3 years so watching this video was like a blast from the past 😂
Idk why but that sounds like a tasty bread to me, considering that I dont like crust 🤤🤤
Ever taste the bread?
Did you produce the 'moist' _(Nama)_ panko as well as the dry _(Kanso)_ panko?
The Nama is hard to find. Probably because it still contains moisture and must be frozen.

2:27, Small correction, but that would be the Second Sino-Japanese War. The first would've been in the late 1800s and very separate from WWII.
Didn't Teddy Roosevelt settle the first sino -war as president? Got a Nobel Prize or something for it?
@@bwest-yq3uc That was the Russo-Japanese War, the Sino-Japanese war predates his presidency.

@@FlowziMowzi I don't think so, but the story involving tank batteries would've taken place during the Second Sino-Japanese War, which started about a ~~decade~~ *2 years* before WWII, well within the era of tanks.
@@Mmjk_12 You are correct, I misremembered. I've edited my comment as to not confuse anyone else.
My aunt has told stories about getting her first microwave back in the day. It came with a cook book that told how to make basically anything. The family would pick a recipe then watch it cook in the microwave. They tried different bread recipes. She said some would work others wouldn’t. She said that the breads that would cook up never “seemed right”
"never seems right" My dad used to say that about me, haha! Wait... oh... 🤣
As a Japanese-Brazilian I believe the pronunciation of bread “pão” in Portuguese haven’t changed over time. In the diphthong “ão” is pronounced in one syllable, where “ã” sounds like nasal “a” and the “o” in the end is very subtle. Since there is no sound like that in Japanese, they call that “pan”.
His pronunciation of Pão sounded like Pau, that could mean wood or dick in context.
I heard of a friend that the ão and ões are pretty difficult sounds to foreigners
@@TakeuchiZinominha quinta série despertou nessa hora rsrsrs
@@TakeuchiZinoPão is just pronounced like “pan” would be in French.
@@ferretyluvpain (said like Spanish Pan), you mean?
Correction: “ko” in Panko means flour or powder (粉) while “ko” for child is written differently (子), so they are homophones in those contexts but are not the same word.
Etymologically they both came from the same source, just written with different kanji
It’s like how 聞く and 聴く are written with different kanji to distinguish between nuances but they do have similar meaning and the exact same pronunciation (a very common phenomenon in Japanese)
@@vince14genius 粉 and 子 are not from the same source. According to Wiktionary, 蚕, 小, and 子 (all with kunyomi "ko") are cognates while 粉 is unrelated. In addition, the Kanji 聞 and 聴/聽 actually both mean more or less "to hear" in Classical Chinese and Japanese (hence the same kunyomi for these two characters) while 粉 and 子 actually mean very different things in both Classical Chinese (in which Japanese Kanji is derived from) and Japanese.
Black☆Kaiser
The cognate list written on the Wiktionary page for 子 might not be exhaustive, nor did it explicitly state that 粉 is unrelated.
Furthermore, on both the Wiktionary pages for 子 and 粉, their processes of phonological evolution are shown, which are both “⟨ko1⟩ → */kʷo/ → /ko/”. This means that not only do they have the same pronunciation in Modern Japanese, but in Old Japanese & Proto-Japonic too. And given that both 子 and 粉 (and 小/蚕) share a semantic field of “small objects”, I think that’s pretty compelling evidence that they came from the same etymological source.
I'm learning Kanji and I hate it
video is literally unwatchable
"pan means bread, ko means a lot of things, like flour or child,"
*b r e a d c h i l d*
b r e a d c h i l d w h a t a w o n d e r f u l l w o r d
Ko in Panko (パン粉) means flour, not child (子供). He is confused by the same sound/reading of 粉 and 子.
@@atsukorichards1675 yeah thats the joke
They got the recipe from the witch in Hansel and Gretel, but that children were supposed to be used was lost in translation.
Or emergency on pilot talk.
"Pao" in portuguese is pronounced almost exactly like "pan" is in spanish, just with a more nasal "n" sound. The Japanese would likely express the modern portuguese word with the same characters they used for its archaic version.
Thanks for telling him I'm portuguese myself and was quite annoyed about the pronounciation of pão.
"Bread in modern Portuguese is pronounced PENIS" - Adam Ragusea
It’s a relatively nasal n sound in Japanese too, at least compared to English.
ん (n) is nasal too- probably not AS nasal, but nasal enough.
To avoid soggy/oily fried food, double fry it. You initially deep fry at a lower temp and then refry again at a higher temp. The refrying apparently drives off extra fat and leaves the end result crispy.
I explained this online once - as it was the way my parents always deep fried food. The general response from today's gen was "No-one can be bothered to do that".
@@thedativecase9733 Not surprising. I have ten years of experience in restaurants and another trick I learned is letting the food rest above a hot fryer for a few minutes (the oven works too). It prevents the oil and crust from cooling too much causing the absorption effect mentioned in the video. The longer you keep fried food warm the less grease and more flavor you get from it.
This is especially beneficial for superb french fries!
you need to let it rest after the first fry to let the water evaporate off though you can't just do it stright away. its a good tip though, i won't use panko because my breadcrumbs are just bread that didn't get eaten in time, so all of my schnitzels are regular breaded otherwise i'd be wasting that, although yep panko is crispier. my mum switched to them a few years ago (and she's been schnitzeling since she was a kid). it takes something pretty big to get an old austrian woman who has been cooking one way for 50 years to change her methods.
That’s how fries are made. Learned at le cordon bleu that’s how you avoid soggy wet fries. Take cut potatoes, wet it, fry it, freeze it, fry again. Less oil and crispy
Just a small thing: The "ko" (粉) in Panko doesn't mean child, it only means powder, flower or dust. While child is also pronounced "ko", it's a different kanji (子). It's often the case in Japanese that something is pronounced the same way, but the different kanji indicate the meaning - a real nuissance for people trying to learn the language AND of course exactely the reason why you should internalize kanji if you do.
There are pages of words pronounced "ko", including, but not limited to the deceased (故); arc (弧); solitude, loneliness or orphan (孤); young (for animals) (仔); small, minor, petty (小) and some ancient Chinese tribes (胡).
Very interesting!!
Also, his pronunciation of 'pan' is incorrect! It is pronounced as westerners describe a cooking pan, both in spanish and portugese

There are two kinds of bread crumbs I remember using often when I'd worked at a seafood market years ago: panko, and Italian bread crumbs. The first kind fries up nicely and provides a nice breading which is never too dense for a fork alone. The other has certain seasonings in it and is smaller than panko. They add more flavor than panko, since it's a mixture of things like basil, oregano, and pepper probably.

Hi, portuguese guy here, the "Pão" reads pretty much like "Pan", that's why the japanese call it that. Most times when there's these traders introducing foods to other countries they write it as they hear it, for example, we introduced oranges to Greece, and they call them "Portucales" there.

_I bake my bread with my car battery NOT my oven. Here’s why_
Need higher voltage
Didn’t under stand the instructions car turned to oven
*flashbacks to that episode in Top Gear where they forced Gordon Ramsay to eat car engine cooked food*
Hahahahahaha you’re supposed to get a Type-95 Ha-go’s battery. Any old car’s just makes it taste cheap.
@@TimothyReeves Do you know what the voltage of a Japanese tank battery is? I guess it's a possibility that it's 48V, since descriptions of ERO ovens mention voltages of 50V and up. But i doubt the tank battery voltage was that high.
I suppose you can work with less voltage. If you have a particular target current density per unit of area that you need to reach, then according to Ohm's Law, you only need to reduce resistance of the dough to make up for lower voltage, by reducing the length of the conductor. So 12V will just mean that the distance between plates and the thickness of the resulting bread will be 1/4th of what you can achieve with 48V.

9:32 Just to add on what Adam says, "Tonkatsu" is the pork version of this Japanese schnitzel, "Ton" means pork here. So the sauce would be "Tonkatsu sauce", not just "Tonkatsu" which refers to the deep-fried pork schnitzel.
True. Also, if I heard the ingredients correctly, that's teriyaki sauce.
@@Royy164I guess it might be the same as whatever they do for American teriyaki sauce, though truly, in Japan teriyaki is just a glaze of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Nothing like an actual sauce. Tonkatsu sauce is basically a variation on what the Brits called brown sauce. It's actually often vegetarian, and it's a kind of Japanese Worcestershire/Worcester sauce. I think that's where a lot of people get confused and assume it needs to contain Worcestershire sauce, as in the Lea and Perrin's kind of fermented fish sauce, when really it often doesn't contain fish at all.
@@Krossfyre I'd put it midway between teritaki sauce and british-style brown sauce
This was an awesome video, I'm glad youtube decided that I needed to understand panko on a molecular level
The little ~ over top of the vowel in pão is actually an n, same with the one over ñ in Spanish.
It dates way back before the printing press, where monks and scholars would come up with ligatures to save space on paper writing.
The Latin Anno became Año in Spanish, and Pano became Pão in Portuguese.
Interestingly & is also a ligature of E and t, literally the Latin word for "and", "et".
Yeah. In Portuguese we never dare to pronounce it with an open "a", it should sound more like puh-uhm.
Pão with an open "a" would have the same pronunciation as the word "pau", which can be translated as stick, but serves as a double entendre for... well... a certain member of the male anatomy.
And there's also some places where pão is pronounced as Pom or Pam (Brazil's south and Portugal's north)
Just for reference it seems pretty easy to make panko yourself. They actually gave you the DIY solution in the interview. Flower, water, tank battery, boom bread crumbs!
"I'm running out of reasons to use any other kind of bread crumb." Exactly! Well said!
That only shows how bad of a cook a person is, different breadcrumbs are available because of their different possible use, some brown easier so you can't use them in instances where the meat needs to spend a lot of time in hot oil, others conserve their crispy texture even if they are immersed in liquids which are helpful for good sweeet and sour chicken and panko in those instances are a no go.
@@MikhelBL i think you got what he said wrong, he mean't that panko is just the best all around breadcrumbs, what the point of buying a very specific breadcrumb if you are only gonna use it like once a week at most
Excellent presentation and very informative! Thank you!

SO THAT'S WHY I LOVE PANKO! I haven't used Panko breading in a while, but I absolutely love Panko and couldn't find a way to explain why I prefer Panko over regular breadings. This is the scientific facts that I needed!
I’m from Japan but I never knew about origins of パン粉(panko). This was super interesting you watch.
Love this video... I never knew why Panko was different, just that it was, nice to know why. If you really want crispy use potato starch instead of flour, you'll be surprised.
I managed to convince my mother to use panko instead of breadcrumbs. She was very sceptical at first, but once she tried it, she couldn't believe how much tastier and crunchier the food became. We don't use anything else anymore, just panko. And I'm slowly moving my friends to it too.
Everybody gangsta until u see ur local deli shocking the bread with volts
OMG the segue to squarespace is so smooth it hurts! Well done mate haha and thanks for the rest of the video too :D
Very interesting and scientifically accurate. You are my new TH-cam hero! Thank you so much, from Italy!
As someone who's part Japanese, I find this really interesting. I've used panko in cooking almost exclusively (I like it much better than traditional breadcrumbs) and it's really cool to see how it was first developed and how it was made.
As an aside, my favorite thing to do with panko is to make tonkats or chicken katsu which you made (ton meaning pork, and katsu meaning cutlet, so pork or chicken cutlets. You called "tonkatsu" the name of the sauce, but tonkatsu sauce is just the sauce traditionally served alongside tonkatsu) and katsudon (which is usually made from leftover katsu and a mixture of egg, onion, and sauce made from soy sauce, mirin, and sake, served in a bowl over rice). It's delicious.
In portuguese "pão" is read like "puh-w", the "ã" being a nasal A and the "o" making a W sound. So the pronunciation is actually very close to the old form and current spanish word "pan".
I think a good start for English speakers would be to pronounce the Portuguese "não" like the English "noun". By taking the first n out of the word "noun", they can use the "oun" part to pronounce the sound of ão in almost any word without struggling. It is still not the perfect pronunciation of words having ão, but it is closer than pau is to pão.
Nice video, by the way
and if u say "pao" the way Adam did, ure saying "dick"
Rafael Kobayashi haha
I have no idea how you got "puh-w", but apart from it, yeah. He did murder the pronunciation (which is expected from an American trying to say "ão") and what he said was "pau", which is "wood" and a slang for dick.
@@HenriqueErzinger "puh" as in "pã" and a W sound from the final "o" (like a polish ł).
Oh yeah, I exclusively use panko and have for years. I had no idea why panko was so much better and different than regular breadcrumbs. Now I know! Thank you for this video it was really informative and interesting. :D
So smooth with the Squarespace ad. Smooth! ❤️
I like how he recommended Ethan at the end, there's even a link in the de_box
Adam's clearly been an inspiration for Ethan
For south German meatballs (which rule supreme among all meatballs), we use special ground up dried mini breads (Brötchen) instead of regular breadcrumbs.
Now that I think of it the properties of these ground up breads are pretty much exactly like panko. Next time I make them I will try to get some panko and make some of them with that and see what happens :D
how did it do?
@@Dark-dz8co Worse than the original recipy, but I think a little better than regular breadcrumbs. The result was less tender and more crumbly, which kind of makes sense since the particles are smaller after all. Also here it's the most expensive option... Perhaps if I were in Japan and couldn't find the right sort of bread it may be a sort of emergency alternative.
@@towakin7718 thank you for following up for us :)
Recipie?!?!?
@@adventureswithkylekastle7643 No, it seems neither "recipy" nor "recipie" is correct, it's apparently spelled recipe xD
2 old buns (yellow outside, pure white inside), break them into small pieces. This can be a little annoying.
500g of minced meat. 50% pork 50% beef (Yes this is important).
2 eggs
parsley
mustard
some salt and pepper
an onion or two. Put in a pan with butter and some of the parsley at medium heat until they are glazed.
Then knead it all up until it's evenly mixed.
Heat the pan, and when forming the balls make your hands wet or everything will stick to your hands.
Don't make balls, but instead kind of flat, wide cakes. About 2cm (less than an inch) thick, and about 7-10cm (3-4 inches) in diameter, and put them in the pan at medium high heat. Turn once. They're supposed to be nicely brown. If done at the right temperature they will not be dry (which is also the reason for the mixed minced meat) but nicely juicy.
You can eat them hot with all sorts of things, or cold with some bread and mustard if you like.
Thank you, this question once slipped my mind, and now I have the answer to it.
It's funny how interesting obscure topics can be. Great video.
"Basically Japanese white wine" - I lol'd. This was really interesting, I had no idea why panko was so different!
A couple Japanese language nitpicks:
A different word pronounced "ko" does mean child, 子, but that's just a homophone. The "ko" in panko is written 粉 which means flour or powder, like you said.
"Tonkatsu" means pork cutlets, the pork version of the chicken katsu that you made. "Tonkatsu sauce" is the phase you were looking for.
Or just Katsu sauce, or bulldog sauce by the popular brand name
So tonkatsu = Weiener (Viennese/Salzburg) Schitzel, did I get that right?

BREAD CHILD!
I got whiplash when he said tonkatsu, I forgot that he was making chicken katsu for a second.
And panko is pronounced pahnkoh
Crunchy and delicious. Good for fish and chips too
Ray Mak I meet you again spammer
Are there PANKO "bread" maker ovens commercially available in EU?
No
hi againn
Leave me and my weird ass video taste alone
My parents' japanese restaurant interestingly doesn't use panko, but rather uses a method where they fry tempura batter by itself and use the crunchy fried bits that result as a sort of "breadcrumb" for our katsus and shrimp tempura (ebi furai)
The shrimp tempura we use for our sushi rolls and the veg tempura are traditionally battered tho ;)
I appreciate this video a lot. I didn't expect to learn all this. I'm impressed.
I started only using panko about 10 years ago. I used it for chicken cutlets, meatballs and meatloaf & was a lot happier with the results. Even after refrigerating the leftover fried cutlets, they were still surprisingly crispy. Love your content!

I really enjoy your explanations. Thanks.
3:20 Thanks for the whole rundown! I've heard that story before but got frustrated when hearing people say that "Pan" is from Portugese "Pão" but neglect the fact that Spain was in the area as well. I speak both Spanish and Portugese so hearing that story told by one perspective was kinda frustrating. I appreciate how thorough you are in your videos!
"I don't want to eat bread on bread.".
Reminds me of a honeybun sandwich I ate one time.
@@s3studios597 My husband's toast sandwich comes to mind too
We batter and deep-fry everything, much of which ends up on a bun of some sort.
This guy always answers questions i never knew i had to ask
This was insanely satisfying all the crazy factss!! thank you!
Lovely! I discovered Panko and never looked back, great for crispy fish too.
This interview seems great! Upper Crust Enterprises seems like a well-prepared company.
I'm Italian and in my family we always use to dry off the interior white part of big bread loafs (the rustic crusty type) that had already gone stale, and the end result is practically identical to this panko.
FINALLY, THE COMMENT I WAS LOOKING FOR!
Thank you for confirming it works!
My Florentine husband disagrees and won’t be convinced to change to panko from 0ir mio pan’ grattaho in casa.”
History, and food history is soooo interesting. Great vid, cheers.
7:55 look at that flawless slow scroll. A real professional.
My life changed when I realized Panko bread crumbs were so different than Bread crumbs.
DUHH!
I used to think that Panko was a brand. Specifically a brand that wasn't available where I am (the UK), so I would always just buy regular breadcrumbs when a recipe called for Panko, but boy did I realise I was wrong when my sister came home with a supermarket brand of Panko breadcrumbs.
@@rebekahsegun8319 LOL! Noob!
@@rebekahsegun8319 I didn't really think it was a brand, but I agree on not really knowing what it was, or how they'd behave vs the regular stuff... For a lot of stuff I won't go back, but a lot of stuff I would never switch over for.
I thought it was just a trademark name.
Thank you to the Japanese panko people for letting us know how this is different!
Dude your content is always so fascinating. I never fail to learn something rivetingly interesting...idk if that was redundant...
Whatever.
Great content
Adam, thank you for this great video.
grinding up pork rinds works extremely well, too. great for low-carb cooking.
In fact, we've used a product called "pork panko" and while it's not the same, it's pretty damn good (surprised all of us).
Grated parmesan cheese makes a great keto alternative as well.
Thank you explaining how Panko is "currently" made.
Nice one
cheeky
The two factory gentlemen were awesome. You could tell how proud they were of their craft
Bread: *exists*
Some Japanese guy: haha Bread goes tttzzzzzz

Possibly the smoothest ad transition I've ever seen
Just started learning to cook a little, started using panko bread crumbs, which led me down this rabbit hole, very informative.
Good luck on your culinary ventures and stuff man!
Thank you man. All excellent information.
Ethan’s next video: Why making your own Panko is a GREAT idea!
he's such a snake
@@billl5297 More like a leech than anything. 🤣
Ethan is a great TH-camr honnestly, his response video was well made imho
bill L can you explain
@@billl5297 lmao wut
The guys you interviewed were amazing!! I love the background and I love the prop with the brands
I use panko for so many different dishes, my kids just love it.. I never knew it was a miracle cooking product.
I appreciate this video. After using poor quality panko (for only the second time) I came researching because I thought there were different "types" and learned, it's all panko but with different quality in different brands.
Adam, you're the first for me to say this but you need a Donation platform! Anything from patreon to whatever else people use these days.
I was always afraid of cooking and all the other channels didn't ease that for me. Yet you are inventing new ways for me to just get up and try something without feeling pressured by the standards others set.
I think there are more people like me that would like to thank you for that and maybe support your videos financially!
