why do you wash the starch off the potatoes, aren't high starch potatoes best for baking?
Good job on the potatoes, delicate procedure, our chickens by law here have to be 80 C. or 180 F. before serving
Fuss and futz, fiddle and fuss. Just cover the bird in BBQ and the potatoes in ketchup and be done with it, man! You'll have loads of extra time to go out and have a life.
That chicken looks disgusting
+richandiben 90 C is 194 F which isn't even boiling, those who work in kitchen a lot develop thick callouses on their hands from all the constant washing and exposure to hot and cold temperatures. Heston an experienced chef has many years of such exposure in his hands.
Callouses are primairly made of keratin, the same stuff that deer antlers are made out of. If your callouses are thick enough you can easily withstand temperatures over 250 F for a few seconds.
Not to mention the people saying 90 C are guessing. But I checked the recipe and the chicken was actually at 60 C, meaning anyone could grab it bare handed.
SO that chicken is roasting for 4 hours, and he takes it out the oven bare-handed? What the hell…
No mate that still too hot to pick up by hand
"Chicken has been in the oven for about 4 1/2 hrs"takes it out without no hand protection how tough is this guy lol
Well this video falls short of perfection…
End potato result? Why are we seeing chicken too? Big thumbs down dislike
i hate my son
Why would any sane person do this stupid video? No information at all!
What an idiot! Total waste of time. FOOL
Quite amazing how he pulled a chicken out of a hot oven without oven mits or any other protection…
Haha. Botatoes!
Yes your right, I used to think pesticides would only be sprayed on the plants and somehow magically avoid the soil all together and when it rains the pesticides and homicides would just cling to the plant and not be washed down into the soil. I guess there's a 100% guarantee by the chemical companies that their chemicals can not be sucked in through the roots and into the food chain. I'm sorry for thinking otherwise, thankyou for your scientific input.
have you ever seen potatoe plants? judging from your comment i would say no. potatoes grow underground inside the soil. only the upper part of the plan is sprayed to avoid potatoebug infestation. they do go around with huge syringes where you live and inject the soil with pesticides?
Mr asbestos hands with the chicken tray. Haha
