4 Levels of Empanadas: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Stephen, home cook Alicia, and professional chef Adriana Urbina from the Institute of Culinary Education - to make us their favorite empanadas. Once each level of chef had presented and tasted their creations, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way. Which one are you reaching for first?

@@farrex0 Maybe one of these years I'll get one of those, but I'm happy with my slow cooker for now. I actually prefer leaving it on low and being able to grab a serving whenever I want without having to refridgerate it and reheat all the time. Can you use alcohol in an instant pot? If so, I'd still imagine you'd need to cook off the alcohol again afterwards, because it wouldn't be able to evaporate into the air in a sealed container. I cook with alcohol often, but I won't drink any.

@@eric_d I have cooked with wine, so I think it does. I have not tested it with higher percentage alcohols, such as brandy or rum. After the cooking time ends, you open the lid, and a lot of steam comes off from it. It releases pressurized steam for one to three minutes. So I suppose the evaporated alcohol releases there. but for what you describe, the slow cooker seems to work well. But the beans I have cooked on the pressure cooker, seems to have stronger, taste. But I have never tasted them side by side. However, what I love about it, is the versatility, you can cook about anything there, with barely any effort, and it comes out great. If you manage to get one on sale, I would recommend it. I got mine for quite cheap, and I already paid for it in how much I have saved from it. One way I save, is I get cheap, big and tough cuts of meat or pork. Cook it there, and I get shredded meat that is really tender and flavorful. Then i can use the stock to make it a sauce or cook something else in it. But the slow cooker is great as well, if you do not mind the fact that is slow, I think you can manage without the instant pot. They function almost the same, only one is way faster. But no need to buy another utensil, if you are happy with the slow cooker.

Ese chimichurri es prácticamente una guasacaca sin aguacate, el primer cocinero hizo guacamole por lo que creo que ella no le puso el aguacate.

Thank you SO much for showing different styles of empanadas and not just the traditional mexican ones.

In Chile, empanadas are baked and with flour instead of corn, in argentina the style is different, so is in the caribbean and so on.

Colombian empanadas are deep fried as well. They're actually pretty similar to Venezuelan empanadas, just that they're usually a smaller size and I think are pretty consistently savory. I also think (though not totally sure) that it's not always made with white corn flour, though most Venezuelan empanadas I've seen are with white corn and maybe some coloring (annato) at most. Plus, all of the empanadas I had growing up in Caracas had a slightly sweet dough, but many Venezuelans like Adriana don't add sweeteners at all.

I found the best way to try them is the fast food options when you have someone with you that is also willing to try them. Burger King had a 2 for $6 deal on their Whoppers at one point, which included the Impossible Whopper (plant-based), so I got one of those and one regular Whopper, cut both in half, then did a blind taste test with my kid. Although I was able to easily tell them apart in the side-by-side taste test, the Impossible Whopper was close enough to real meat that I probably wouldn't have known the difference if I didn't have a real burger right there with it to compare it to.

It's basically pre-cooked corn flour (gluten free btw) and it's what EVERYONE uses in Venezuela for Arepas and Empanadas. I am surprised she didn't use it, but I get the point of being authentic. Thank you for showcasing Venezuela (my country) in your series!
I always love when Stephen comes on
Lovely to see empanadas being made. And I can get Steven not wanting to cook something for 24 hours, albeit a shame about the dough since that's a nice skill to have and not too difficult.
Finally chef Adriana😍
The GOAT is back. We have missed you Steven. Where is the cheesecake?
Definitely think Stephen knocked it out the park on this one. Would say his was definitely better than level 2. Would love to taste level 3's as normal but I would be pleased if I got anywhere near Stephens dish if I was attempting to cook it.
watching!
I respect all of them but Stephen is the winner ! Simple but it looks 💣 Cheers from San Diego California
The fact that Saúl isn’t on this one really upsets me
Level 2 gives me the vibes she thinks she’s “too cool” for the cooking machines the others are using.

I feel like she is closer to most of us, who don't have a tortilla press or an air fryer. Also, it is a latino tradition to cut the dough with a bowl or a cup

She used a blender instead of a mortero for the sauce... so... no

‘I’m air frying instead of deep frying cos my doctor said so’ lol same
I love the chemistry parts. 😭👌
Hi friends! Can someone explain why you would want to bake the pork at a lower temperature after sous vide? When I think of sous vide, afterwards my meat is totally cooked so all I want is a fast sear applied by a cast iron skillet or a blowtorch. What gives?
Do they hear what the other cooks are saying? There was a lot of sass in this episode, shade being thrown all over.
Same as Stephen, I am also not in a place where I can make a dough properly either.... love that
My family makes these with pie dough made from cream cheese, butter, flour and vodka. I'm partial to a cheesy spinach with bacon filling myself and make them for a quick breakfast meal on the go!

I make empanadas with a spinach and ricotta filling -- think of spanakopita.
I love how the level 2 chef has that pro chef attitude
I like the level 2 chef, the deadpan is such a breath of fresh air
Saul seeing this dish being cooked in a French contraption: "Sous vide? 🤨"

It's not a French contraption, lol, it's just a French phrase for a general cooking method.
Sous Vide Empanadas?! WOW!
We are everywhere now! Empanadas are the best, you just need the green sauce haha 🇻🇪♥️ but wait back home we make it with harina pan 😄
It is interesting how they make a side, I’m used to eating empanadas with a drink and that’s it. Some people might add ají or sugar but that’s about it 😂😂

The only "side" I use on my empanadas is hot sauce. I prefer green sauce on empanadas, but the place I go to in Queens just has red sauce. It's very tasty, but not as good as green. I've never actually tried making either sauce myself, and I'm sure there are many recipes, but from my experience, everywhere that has green sauce tastes almost the same (even though most are family recipes), and everywhere that has red sauce also tastes the same (but I think many of the red sauces are from a jar).
Why did she grate the garlic in a FOOD PROCESSOR?
Empanadas? Count me in Its my favorite Food, even better with garlic sauce
Esa señora sí sabe hacer empanadas!!! 🇨🇴🇪🇨🇻🇪
First level one chef I listen to because he brings his own vibe without sounding "oh no I don't know what I'm doing ", keep the vegetarian twist

We just call them empanadas de queso. I guess it varies from what part of Mexico your from. My family is from Baja Ca Sur and Sinaloa.
