    I loved this because as much as his other videos are edited to show the perfect takes and therefore really pleasant to watch, I could relate to so many parts of this video as someone who cooks at home regularly; like how he started running out of counter space, how the oil didn't heat initially, and missing the egg dredge. Thanks for giving us a window into your struggles and learnings too!

      but still, taking into account shopping, cleanup, and the fact that not everybody has as organized a kitchen as joshua does, it's debatable. it was a fun video for sure, but it doesn't exactly prove anything about the actual timeframe someone could make this dish in. hell, just having a neat, big kitchen where you know exactly where everything is cuts SO much time down when you're cooking, and josh already knew exactly what he was doing, even if he didn't know the recipe 100% and forgot some things. i'd argue that ordering takeout is still probably faster than the average person being able to make orange chicken from scratch.

    • @dtemp132
      @dtemp132 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Fun video. Doesn't include time doing the dishes. I do dishes for 20-30min every day and it's the worst part of my day. The best part of takeout isn't the food quality or saving time cooking (which I enjoy), it's no dishes.

    • @alfredgomez3128
      @alfredgomez3128 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      He still goes extra in making everything from scratch, when people have trouble with assembling and cooking the meat.
      His cooking videos are still not true basic starters, they don't encourage cheating when the restaurant industry clearly does. I could use the chicken recipe and add Panda Express Orange Sauce....or buy pre-made Orange Chicken and add the same sauce. The latter's a good start if you've never fried anything and need quick practice.

Not everything has turned out like yours. My Cashew Chicken doesn't have the color yours does, but then again, I can't find black vinegar or dark soy sauce locally, so maybe that's it. I'm making this orange chicken for my son and his girlfriend tomorrow night. We'll see how it goes.

    I've been following a lot of your recipes recently and what I've found is that for the first 1 or 2 times you make the food as an at home chef its easier to do everything step by step and then once your comfortable with the recipe it's so much easier to do it all at once. If you start doing multiple things at the same time for a brand new recipe it just stresses you out and you tend to let things burn.

    Great idea, Ethan Chlebowski just started a similar series to this, love them both, some personal feedback:
    Your style of cutting a lot and going fast while it is nice for time saving on content consumption, it takes the informative approach you have done in a lot of your other series w/ a sprinkle of memedom and fun, to a new category where this entire video felt super jumpy and disconnected.

    I like the concept, would love to see more! Personally, I'd benefit more if the show focused on techniques to be quicker and efficient. We all understand that papa will be fast, but going over the skills to practice and get up to speed would be huge.
    The whole racing thing is fun but feels like we get the same effect if Josh just tries to keep everything under 30-40 minutes vs a stopwatch, with the taste tests at the end. He can stop the timer to go over details of how/why he's doing something. I'd like to see more of him talking about how he would prepare and lay out his kitchen beforehand to go faster. Setting up would probably still be faster than me putting things away, getting dressed, and finding what I want to order tbh. Time saving/flavor boosting tips like preparing the chicken for 5-10 minutes the night before would also be helpful.

    • @aurifulgore

      It definitely felt like "how fast can /I/ make this".

Doesn't make the cooking process very appealing when it's adding another type of stress.

    • @kiltedcripple
      @kiltedcripple 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Yes, prepping ahead where you can is key.
      Like if i know I'm making saucy dishes for more than just me, I prep the sauces the day before. Especially useful for sandwich sauces or noodle sauces.
      I make stock 3 or 4 times a year and jar it, so if I'm planning something that will need stock, I pull one out of the freezer the day before to let it thaw.
      I pull beef out the day before and salt brine it, especially steaks and roasts. If I'm braising, I might only salt the meat 10 to 15 minutes ahead.
      I make seasoning blends ahead to cut down on reaching for individual spices while cooking. Definitely useful for Indian and Mexican dishes.
      And definitely, if you're deep frying or boiling, take those big pots of liquid started while you prep veggies or start carbohydrates because they take forever to get up to temp.

    • @mcbedo6568
      @mcbedo6568 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      the problem is, if he did that people would still complain. A lot and I mean a lot of his recipes call for preparing things ahead of time and all people could do was complain about how they "don't have enough time to do smth like that"
      Imagine wanting to be a home cook while also juggling a busy life but not wanting to put in the minimum possible effort needed to achieve that.
      I've noticed that those same set of people always lack a certain amount of common sense. Like how they thought buying bulk ingredients for "just a sandwich is stupid" when you can literally use all the leftovers for a million other recipes across the week.

    All around hilarious. While American, my family came from the Caribbean where rice is cooked daily and not in a rice cooker. I vouch for the Instapot ability to make literally PERFECT white rice, especially jasmine rice (but not rice and beans or any kind of flavored rice). Joshua also could have saved time and added quality if it had just marinated the chicken in the seasonings AND egg mixture at the same time. And could have gotten the oil up to temp faster if her removed the thermometer and used the cast iron lid. Jack that heat to max and place a lid on it. Wait 3-5 mins and then test the temp. Heating oil up without a lib seems like a wasteful action if the lid isn't on. Same with boiling water. A lid, especially a cast iron lid is your friend. Use it.
