Two thumbs up to the narration, Arcadi!! (Two more each for the drawings and all the other stuff you do) Cheers from Japan!! I love scorched rice, especially the _okoge_ (お焦げ) of _takikomi-gohan_ (炊き込みご飯, rice cooked with other ingredients in a stock, flavored with soy sauce, rice wine, etc.). BTW almost all of the tips you mentioned, also apply to _takikomi-gohan_ , the only exceptions being: the fat and the wide surface at the bottom.

hi, Mr Art Guy! At first I thought someone got kidnapped! I enjoyed the video, and Indonesia have more than one burned rice dish. My favorite is kerak telor in which rice and egg is cooked over charcoal and deliberately scorched.

I can’t believe it’s your first time narrating. You sounded like a pro! 🎉😊

Another tip - if you don't wash your rice beforehand, the extra free starch will concentrate into a paste that browns with the rice, giving a more uniform socarrat if that's what you're looking for

Yeah it's kind of wild that he's not been used as a narrator before, he's terrific!

My grandma in Poland does something similar but with pasta and it's a sweet dish. She adds a lot of butter to the pot, then layers of already cooked pasta and apples or other fruit, sugar with cinnamon on top. Then the pot is covered and put on a small burner. She always puts some 3/4 of pasta in the bottom layer, all the fruit on that, and the remaining pasta on top. You can do multiple layers if you don't want big lumps of just pasta on the plate. If you want the burned bits, you need to scoop all the way to the bottom of course.

1:10 In my home country, Hong Kong, there is a signature dish called "claypot rice". It is literally cooking rice in a small claypot. We say that the dish fails completely If there is no scorched rice at the bottom of the pot.

In Italia there is "spaghetti all'assassina", a recipe that takes all these tricks from rice to spaghetti (well not 100%). I suggest to look for it, it is delicious but also not that easy to prepare.

Great first narrated video, Arcadi! I love your illustrations! Hope Kate has a great vacation and looking forward to more videos from both of you, this is a wonderful channel!

This guy should host more videos, i like his sense of humor

In southern Brasil we have dish called carreteiro made by salty meat (charque) with rice and the crisp makes it good

I toast the rice dry a bit in an oiled pan to start the caramelization for the whole pot before dumping in the hot water. You CAN stir the rice at the beginning of cooking, because the critical crust formation only happens when enough water has evaporated at the end. Sometimes I scramble eggs on top of the rice as it steams. Not only is it delicious, the eggs form a good seal on the pot to retain moisture and keep the rice from burning while the crust forms

Any chance you guys could do a video about perpetual stew? In particular, 1) the safety aspects of it and 2) what works and doesn't at a fundamental level?

Arcadi, me encantó tu voz y tu estilo. Me dieron muchas ganas de probar socarrat! Espero que Kate te deje subir más videos!

Thanks you! I eating it right now as day old rice from rice cooker on countertop. I knew about fried rice but i never tried just plain scorched rice. I actually got it in first try and i flip so i have double sided scorched rice...SOOO GOOD!!! Now i want to be in mintuefood gang because i becoming a better cooker cuz of YOU!!!🎉

I loved your video my friend. As a portuguese and spanish descendant oh boy, does rice tickle my soul in an uncanny way. Especially Paella. my favorite rice dish. Plus, as a foodie and a gourmet virtuoso this was just the cherry on top of everything I love. te quiero mucho bien mi hermano.

Loved this new narrator! Please do more.

Great job, Arcadi! I hope you narrate some future videos. Well done!

I had no idea this was such a huge thing. I just started cooking rice in the last year and always followed a recipe but kept winding up with crunchy dry rice on the bottom. I thought I was just terrible at cooking rice. I've since gotten my rice to not get like that and now I find out people do that on purpose (and the recipe instructions were probably like that intentionally)...

Love the change up between narration and script writing styles. Keep it up MinuteFood! lol

He seguido este canal por mucho tiempo pero nunca pensaria que un español llegase a presentar una video, ¡¡¡sigue asi Arcadi!!!

This was wonderful! The narration was a delight (you're a natural, Arcadi!), I love paella, and I'm always here for more Maillard knowledge. Thanks for the wisdom - hope we have many videos like this in the future!

Great video!! Super well explained and interesting to learn there's scorched rices outside Paella. We need more videos des de La Terreta! ❤

You're so talented, Arcadi!

This is the only video I've seen on this channel, you did a good job dude!

This was such a great and informative video! I have always loved the beauty of the Maillard reaction and I love it's application to rice dishes. I've always been dissuaded from trying a paella or one of the other scorched riced dishes mentioned, but with these tips it may be a tad easier to not completely ruin a dish. But then again, with failure comes knowledge, and with knowledge comes triumph. Thanks for the great video Arcadi, hopefully we get to be graced with your lovely narration, along with your top notch animation and art, in more videos in the future!

Thanks for your all your animations Arcadi! Great video.

In the Dominican Republic we call it “concón.” If you drench it in beans and gravy, it is one of the most delicious meals you’ll ever taste.

So happy the DR got featured

I had so many errors in the kitchen, I can't feel any fear anymore. Espacially when cooking just for myself. I'm just throwing everything around in my hearts content. e.g. brussels sprouts (and other vergetables) are so much better when thrown into the oven instead of cooking them. I'm happy that I eventually stumpled upon your channel, learning so much new stuff. It's really possible to combine tasty, healthy, inexpensive and crafte/freestyle stuff if you develop a feel for things.

I'm from Myanmar and I appreciate that ye mentioned it! My grandma loves this kind of rice

I look forward to hearing more Arcadi!

Pegao! Love it. Manjar de los dioses en mi opinión. I eat it constantly. Thank you and great job!

My late sister would make tahdig once a month. It was great.

i love that there's names for it across the world ^_^ i do remember growing up the crunchy rice at the bottom of the pan of fried rice always being a treat XD

I loved all of the rainbows on the crispy rice. Made me want some so bad. 🤤

If you think about it, dosa from South India which is a crisp crepe of fermented ground rice, also fits the category

We call it pega in Colombia, it is a beautiful thing

My best guess is that humans prefer foods with variation in texture because it indicates to the brain that you're getting a wider variety of nutrients. Part of the reason why good food (and I mean actually good food, not junk food) tastes good is because that usually means it's made of a wide variety of building blocks that your body can use to build lots of fancy stuff at a cellular level, which in turn makes you healthier.

Smoothe pudding tastes pretty good too.

In Korean barbecues with flat pans we keep the last few pieces of the meat and add in rice, gochujang, eggs, and vegetables and make a fried rice out of the pan. It is done on a flat and wide surface, it is cooked on the fat from the meat, and most importantly you NEVER touch the thinly spreaded rice on the pan until it starts steaming from the surface. After which the heat is turned down to a minimum. What you end up with is a fried rice that is deliciously scorched on entire one side, a finale for all good Korean barbecues.

slight correction : fat is really good at conducting heat at temperatures needed for maillard browning. Water and steam are both better a conducting heat but the have a temp limit. Fat is an effective and delicious way of browning things evenly across the surface of food because it fills in the voids where the food is not in direct contact with the heat source. Fat can also displace water to further help with even browning.

Great Video Arcadi :)

I was so offended when I started this video "this is not my usual food nerd what is this" but I absolutely loved it about a minute or 2 in and would love to see more from you!

Brother-in-law has a imported genuine Iranian rice cooker. It doesnt have a timer. It has a "brown scale". It's been used for almost 20 years.

Oh wow, I saw the name in the credits of the other videos and didn’t make the connection, but now that I hear the voice… 🤯 ok, I see why you aren’t uploading on your own channel. You are doing a great job here, keep it up Arcadi!

As an eternal cooking rice rival (I'm from Alicante) I've been taught that socarrat is a mistake because you overcooked the rice, so that is something in my family we try to avoid and we only make socarrat when cooking for foreigners (family and friends from Madrid).

Intip has more additional steps. Once you get your scorched rice, dry out in the sun. And then fried it till you get that rice crispy goodness.

When I make pilaf, I cook it without making it crispy. But for reheating, I fry it up in a pan to get it crispy. So far never had to worry about overcooking the rice that way. And since my stove doesn't support paella pans, I can still get a good ratio o crispy to fluffy rice. I just love pilaf. When I cook it, I cook loads of it and every following day I prepare the leftovers in a different way. In the summer I love to add fresh tomtoes from the garden. Since this prevents crispification, I crip up some of the pilaf in a separate pan and add it on top of the other pilaf. The pilaf my family makes is, I think, a georgian variant, though it's hard to tell, since foods in the caucasus region can have quite some similarities. But I know that the mentioned tahdig in Iran essentially means bottom of the pan. Crispy rice is just the best.

Thanks

My rice cooker seems pretty reliable. It always leaves some "scorched" rice at the bottom, slightly stuck to the metal. It never occurred to me to mix the scorched & unscorched together. But maybe that would be unwise, depending on the metal the rice cooker is made of... scraping the scorched rice from an aluminum surface seems dicey.

my brother in law has a rice cooker with a superb function specifically for tahdig

In Cantonese we call it 飯焦 "fann jiu".. meaning "rice crust" of if you use a ridiculously literal translation... "rice scab." It's delicious.

We even also have it in central europe but as a dessert (Reisauflauf)

Hey man, this was a good video. Have some cameos in the future, I'll be looking for them :)
