Hi Becky! I’m French and when something is said to be “confit” it means that, for preservation purposes, something has been cooked slowly and for a long time in grease, oil, or sugared water. “Confit” in itself does not mean grease, it’s what the process is called (comes from the verb: confir) ^^ Fun fact, here we call fruit jam “confiture” but these are not to be mistaken with “fruits confits” which basically are candied fruits. Not sure it was relevant to share all this but 🤷🏼‍♀️😄 (edit: especially since in the meantime someone explained the “confit” as well !) Love watching your videos and “spending time” with you you’re a true inspiration 🤗

Aren’t you supposed to fill up the jar full with the oil - that way it doesn’t go bad..? Mean the garlic confit.. the only reason something goes bad in oil when you preserve is if it’s not filled up and there is air to the thing you want to preserve..

You can turn the roasted garlic into a purée and make a Garlic Aoli dip/sauce by adding it to Mayo & lemon juice. It’s amazing on crispy Brussel sprouts / breakfast burritos/ quesadillas / sandwiches/ fries etc the list goes on. But it’s amazing! Refrigerator life of the sauce is 7 days! Edited to add the recipe I use in my restaurant kitchen. Roasted Garlic Aioli INGREDIENTS 2 cups Mayonnaise 4 tbsp Roasted garlic puree 2 tbsp Lemon juice METHOD 1. Place mayonnaise, roasted garlic puree and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. 2. Whisk until smooth and well combined. 3. Transfer to an airtight container with a rubber spatula. 4. Cover, label, date and refrigerate for up to 7 days.

I once cooked garlic confit at a party. Used half butter & half olive oil, plus a good pinch of salt. And only enough fat to cover the garlic cloves. I took a couple of loaves of French bread so people could rip off a chunk and dunk it every time they walked by. Huge hit. =) The garlic confit can also be frozen in a zip top bag in a thin flat layer so that you can just break off as much as you need at a time. (I’m only cooking for one, so this works well for me. )

I'm sure you're getting a gazillion bits of unsolicited baby advice, but I'm still going to add my $.02 worth, lol. If you keep doing all of your normal daily routine (noisy) things, ie: drumming, vacuuming, kitchen clanking, dogs barking, talking, etc; when Baby is first brought home, it'll be easier (in the long run) for them to sleep through the ever-present noises of life... And you won't feel like you have to tiptoe through eggshells at naptime ☺. Honestly, the things they're hearing now, are the things they'll be comforted hearing later. Good luck, Friend.

French tip for No-peel garlic : we often cook the clove in the skin, for example in you chicken thigh recipe... Then once cooked the fun it to press out the puree garlic out with a fork. Basically you confit your garlic directly while cooking.

I have just had an extremely difficult day dealing with some health issues and things and I needed to just stop and take a breather from everything going on and I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am every time I see a new video pop up from you. It's the smallest things, but you have no idea how cozy and safe it makes me feel every time I hear 'hey friends..' I struggle with depression and it makes it hard to want to cook for myself, but your recipe videos always keep me engaged and give me just that little extra push I need to get in the kitchen myself. I'm going to have to try confit garlic for myself now, it looks so great! Thank you for always being that calming presence for me on KZread.

For getting a low, even heat on a gas hob, you could look into getting a simmermat. It's a kind of cast iron disc with raised areas that distributes heat more evenly to the bottom of your pots and pans. I have one that I like to use for stews, because the gas even on the lowest setting's direct heat still tends to burn a spot at the bottom of the stew. If you do lots of low and slow type dishes on the gas hob I think it may be a worthwhile investment.

I make my garlic confit with clarified butter and store it with enough of the butter to cover the cloves. Because butter solidifies in the fridge it also helps it not mold and it last a lot longer then if you store it in liquid fat.

I so enjoyed being with you today. 💕

Becky, you always make me smile watching you cook. Seeing the weather outside your window made your hash seem like the perfect meal. I was hoping to hear how your cute Halloween treats were liked by your family! ❤

I've done garlic confit in a Crockpot. It goes all day on high and you don't have to worry about it burning. And yes, it's a powerful smell so it gets plugged in on the patio table.

My tip for getting toasty, caramelized Brussels sprouts is to put your pan in the oven when you start heating the oven. Then, put the sprouts on the really hot pan cut-side down. It really makes a difference and it isn't any more work.

I’ve been able to store garlic confit in my fridge for months with no molding or other problems…what I do differently is make sure the garlic is completely covered in the oil. That hash looked delicious! Definitely adding something like that into the meal plan :)

Love watching you throw things together; I do the same with any leftovers and it comes out delicious. Truley grateful for you taking the time to create these videos and spending time with each of us in our kitchens. 🙂❤

Hi Becky, love all the content you put out. Brings me joy! I work in the flooring industry and just wanted to make sure you’re aware the reason they often put transitions at doorways is because the flooring needs room to expand when the temperature or moisture fluctuates in the home. Removing the transitions is generally ok and definitely looks and feels better but can cause your floor to buckle in some instances. Flooring manufacturers will void any warranty for not adding them appropriately. I’m sure it will be fine in your case, and honestly I would take the chance as well. I hate the bump between rooms! I just wanted to let you know why people do opt to put them in sometimes.

The floor fix is perfect. Smart thinking on the door transition also! Door for all your closets help keep dust off the items on your shelves so smart to order the doors. Your hash looks wonderful and sounds yummy! Glad you showed how you used leeks and made the hash!

I think those transition strips (aka Threshholds) are to prevent drafts from to room to room, along with dust.

And maybe noise?

Thank you! I have been wanting to see the floor repair in the living room forever! It does look good. It is not how I envisioned it, but they did a good job as well as the transitions being leveled. Smart idea! The food looks great. I get a kick out of watching you season stuff. It looks like way more than I would, but you do so enjoy it. I hope the door project goes smoothly. Y'all are up to so much more than I would be doing. Thanks for sharing!

I love watching you watch your husband when he's eating your cooking. I can see the joy on your face. It warms my heart?. Thanks for sharing.

One tip for keeping the confit garlic from molding is to cover it FULLY with the oil. I do this whenever my big bag of garlic from Costco 👍 is nearing it's end, I roast it up in the oven, pour into a jar, cover it with olive oil and into the fridge it goes. The oil prevents the garlic from touching the air which is what causes mold and it stays good for MONTHS!! Give it a try!

That hash looks so good! My Mom made hash with leftovers at least once a week. Thank you for the reminder, I will be adding hash into my meal rotation.

Now I can't decide what I want for dinner more. Hash or potato leek soup. I purchased the single serving freezer containers, 1, 2 and 3 compartments, so I can make my own "TV dinners". I live alone and cook big batch still, this way I can cook once, freeze and have a variety of meals to choose from.

LOVE the transition strips, such a much better and more professional finish. We had a similar situation and so thankful for skilled craftsman who take the time to do it better.

Have I missed the part where you process your ferments?🤔 Making the hot sauces? I think I have watched all your videos without falling asleep🤣 (always end my days with watching youtube).. can't wait for the garden "renovation" 🤩

I confirm, "confit" is a French word and means not only gently cooked in fat but the word "confiture" is to say "jam" in USA, means gently cooked in sugar. Just in case you didn't know, but the garlic puree that can be made with the garlic confit is a great dewormer for animals but also for humans.... My cats love garlic puree. garlic... Kisses from France ♥♥♥

@The Aussie Family For information my cats eat something other than garlic and I treat my cats with garlic puree only when they have worms and even then I only give them a hint of garlic and that is far 30g doses of garlic that are potentially deadly. We have to stop panicking people like that without giving precise information. Curare is deadly and yet it is used every day in operating rooms. You have to know how to keep reason in everything.

Also good for chickens! Natural antibiotics, in their water and food

I enjoyed this time in your kitchen again and seeing your other projects !! !! That hashed looked so good and the garlic oil!!

Oh Becky, you are so much fun!!! Thank you for sharing. I love your shenanigans!!! And your interactions with Josh. Thank you for letting us be a part of your lives. You're a wonderful addition to mine!!!!!

I really like the way the repair in the floor turned out. It looks great.

Brussels sprouts ,asparagus, red onion and bacon cook together add balsamic yummo. Perfect for the holidays! Your looking great! My last month of pregnancy I looked like something the dog dragged in. Thanks for the posts!!

So glad I found your channel Becky! I have binge watched your videos! You gave me the inspiration I needed, thank you! Great videos

TY!! This looks delicious and I can't wait to try the garlic confit. It is always a delight to watch you in the kitchen.

Awesome video Becky, I just love your enthusiasm and the light you share with us all.

Becky you were so smart to have those areas fixed flat in your doorways. I've actually tripped over them and broken my toes. I love making hash. Another meat I use making hash is left over pot roast and corned beef. Placing a fried egg on top of the hash adds a little extra something.

my hubs adds poached eggs to the tops of his hash. I like to make breakfast hash: eggs, potatoes, bacon, cheese. with a slice of english muffin bread.

Yet again, I am learning something new from you! I love your videos, your knowledge, and willingness to share your time in the kitchen (mostly) with us! I look forward to your videos! Thank you!

When you are cooking frozen biscuits if you will put them in a well greased pan even if you use parchment paper it needs to be well greased. Place the biscuits in the pan , place parchment paper on top of the biscuits, place a heavy object on top, place in refrigerator over night where the biscuits will thaw so when you cook them they will look more like fresh made biscuits. I work in food service and this is how we do our biscuits. People think they are homemade

What's the purpose of the heavy object?

@Kathy Sullivan it pushes the biscuits together so while cooking, the closer together the biscuits are the fluffier they'll be, instead of spreading out they go up

I’ve been wanting to make the garlic confit since you messes it before. Thanks for the refresher!

Confire means to preserve by submerging something and add to its taste. In English it is often used to refer to cooking something low and slow in fat (duck confit is a delicious example of that), but it doesn't have to be submerged in fat. In fact you can confit things in sugar, jams in French is confitures and there are also confit fruits and ginger.

Josh has done a beautiful job on the finish work. Thanks for sharing your skills. Love your recipes.

I read that turning the flame down and confiting it super slow and low brings out even more flavor. So the oil isn't bubbling/boiling at all. Pretty much cool enough so you could still be able to put your finger in the oil and you wouldn't burn yourself. It takes longer obviously but worth it if its a more flavorsome result. :)

Thank you so much for a house update! Everything looks so amazing, you’ve both done such a great job! ♥️

A large pitcher would be great to fill your jars with the oil, love your videos.

I get so excited when you post a new video! Thank you for being so real & your knowledge base is so impressive, thanks for sharing! You are motivating, entertaining and I feel like you are a great friend too! ❤

You are so genuine and I enjoy it so much! Love all your projects, thanks for sharing!
