[3 - 3] this video is brought to you by extra
[3 - 5] hey guys sally this is alex welcome back
[5 - 8] to the mother saucers series now if you
[8 - 9] remember well in the previous episode i
[9 - 12] made sauce hollandaise for these
[12 - 15] beautiful eggs benedict so besides the
[15 - 17] heaven bliss that i experienced that
[18 - 20] traditional recipe has some very
[22 - 25] down-to-earth problems plus tradition is that what we
[25 - 27] problems plus tradition is that what we settle for on this channel
[27 - 29] i don't think so
[29 - 31] i want to believe
[31 - 34] that there exists somewhere a way
[34 - 37] better way to make eggs benedict from
[37 - 40] scratch think of it for a moment the
[40 - 43] traditional method takes 42 minutes to
[45 - 46] solution would be to find something that
[46 - 49] would be reliable food proof less messy
[49 - 52] you know cleanish and very very fast
[54 - 56] i don't want to betray eggs benedict
[56 - 59] either who do you think i am okay i'm a
[59 - 61] mad person yes but i'm not a lunatic
[62 - 64] properly post egg runny yolk white needs
[64 - 67] to be set the sauce needs to be silky
[67 - 69] but still flowing the english muffin
[69 - 72] needs to be crispy on the outside soft
[72 - 74] in the center burnt is not an option
[74 - 76] bacon needs to have some charred marks
[76 - 79] on it now in order to make the fastest
[79 - 82] eggs benedict ever i need first
[89 - 90] [Music] there is a well-known internet trick
[90 - 91] there is a well-known internet trick which allows you to quickly make
[92 - 94] hollandaise sauce using a blender
[94 - 96] melt some butter in a saucepan until
[96 - 98] it's boiling hot add a few egg yolks
[98 - 101] some lemon juice and salt to a blender
[101 - 103] now blitz that at full speed and super
[103 - 107] super slowly add butter
[107 - 110] i mean that is hollandaise
[110 - 113] there is not much you can do to improve
[113 - 115] that recipe however using a whole egg
[115 - 117] instead of just an egg yolk basically
[117 - 119] make it easier because you don't have to
[119 - 121] separate the egg white from the egg yolk
[121 - 123] second boiling hot butter is not
[123 - 126] mandatory it just needs to be really hot
[126 - 127] actually i found out that i could be
[127 - 130] melting better in the microwave it's
[130 - 132] just faster but it also cuts down
[132 - 135] drastically on washing up this recipe
[135 - 142] trick slash internet wonder
[143 - 143] might taste even better than the
[143 - 146] original deal sometimes you get a love
[146 - 152] intellect okay
[155 - 155] how to poach an egg in under the time
[155 - 157] required to poach an egg
[157 - 159] if that question were to be a line of
[159 - 161] code it would explode
[162 - 163] using a microwave this is what i'm gonna
[181 - 183] oh all right let me just clean that up and
[183 - 185] we'll start again
[185 - 189] i'm sure this is not what you expected
[189 - 191] i use a bit of white vinegar just to
[191 - 194] speed up the coagulation process this
[194 - 195] time i'm gonna go for a bit more water
[195 - 198] than the first one i'm using super super
[198 - 200] fresh organic eggs you're still gonna
[200 - 203] eat that yolk raw you want the best
[203 - 205] quality possible
[208 - 211] the yolk is definitely cooked a bit too
[218 - 218] 40 seconds clearly not set do it again
[221 - 228] the only thing that i need is a leak
[230 - 232] okay i'm going to call this
[238 - 238] so as you may know i'm not just a cook
[238 - 241] i'm also an engineer who likes sometimes
[241 - 243] to overcomplicate things just for the
[243 - 245] beauty of it this
[245 - 247] amazing contraption is a perfect example
[247 - 250] of that it's supposed to fry bacon and
[250 - 252] toast muffins more rapidly than you
[252 - 254] would do the classic and boring way
[254 - 258] using a toaster or frying pan
[265 - 265] still is burning hot it's dangerous it
[267 - 270] i also tried using a heat gun
[270 - 272] but in the end you know
[272 - 275] i had to come to the conclusion that the
[275 - 278] easiest and most reliable method
[278 - 280] using a skillet
[283 - 287] so thanks to these experiments i know
[287 - 289] now that i can create a faster
[289 - 292] ex benedict the question is though how
[292 - 295] fast can it get and at the moment i've
[295 - 297] got no answer because i've got just a
[297 - 299] list of actions that needs to be
[299 - 302] performed i need to turn these lists
[302 - 304] into the process that would waste the
[304 - 308] minimal amount of time possible
[310 - 313] let's do this
[316 - 316] i've been establishing a gantt diagram
[316 - 319] it's supposed to organize all things in
[319 - 322] the most optimized way possible so four
[322 - 324] big steps you've got poaching an egg
[324 - 327] making hollandaise sauce cooking muffin
[327 - 330] and bacon and then plating each of this
[330 - 333] step is subdivided into actions for
[333 - 335] example for poaching an egg you need to
[335 - 337] add water to mug crack egg
[340 - 342] [Music] microwave blah blah blah at all time i
[342 - 345] microwave blah blah blah at all time i can only be active doing one thing when
[345 - 348] a passive action is happening i could be
[348 - 350] doing something actively in a different
[350 - 353] step in theory i should be able to wrap
[354 - 356] the whole thing up in under four minutes
[356 - 358] and 30 seconds now i reckon i've been
[358 - 361] quite liberal with a few of these steps
[361 - 364] i think it is safe to aim at the four
[365 - 368] minutes finish line enough with the theory let's
[368 - 371] finish line enough with the theory let's go and get practical
[371 - 386] transformers assemble do this
[386 - 388] do this i've got a lemon an english muffin some
[388 - 390] eggs bear chive with cayenne butter
[390 - 393] bacon my blender knife a chopping boat
[393 - 395] serving place a skillet on a stove and a
[395 - 399] microwave oven visualize the finish line
[399 - 402] i hope you can see the timer
[405 - 414] ahead [Music]
[428 - 428] and that's it all right so my first
[428 - 431] attempt lasted around six minutes
[431 - 433] slightly disappointed with myself it
[433 - 435] still is an achievement like from
[435 - 437] scratch but anyway i think
[437 - 439] i can do better can i bring these down
[439 - 441] under five minutes i think i can can i
[441 - 444] bring this down under four minutes uh
[444 - 447] i can try let's just go for trial number
[489 - 489] ah i forgot to garnish ah shut up alex
[490 - 493] and this i'm gonna keep eating these
[493 - 495] eggs benedict till i die basically if
[495 - 496] you're with me guys i think we can do it
[496 - 500] let me just reset the whole station
[500 - 502] and we start again
[503 - 507] why the final round alex well for a very
[507 - 512] simple reason a man can only eat so many
[512 - 514] eggs benedict and three is my limit
[514 - 517] so after this one i'm gonna call it a
[518 - 520] day as always the ingredients are uncut
[520 - 522] as always the ingredients are uncut otherwise i could always start with

[634 - 664] [Music] okay okay [Music] this this little that
[666 - 666] i don't know what time i stopped
[666 - 669] but i may have pulled it out
[675 - 675] my only concern at the moment is the egg
[675 - 676] basically because the egg is the unknown
[676 - 679] variable in this problem
[680 - 682] i've got a leek yes
[682 - 684] let's give it a proper taste it needs to
[684 - 686] taste good that was the initial claim
[692 - 692] hold on this sauce is just
[694 - 696] the egg is very good there's always
[696 - 698] something you can improve for example
[698 - 701] the bacon could be seared more evenly
[701 - 702] i've done this
[702 - 704] in four minutes from scratch everything
[704 - 707] from scratch i'm happy to pay
[707 - 710] a lot of money for this eggs benedict
[710 - 712] which i did because this is my third
[712 - 714] attempt but you get my point okay i
[714 - 716] think i've done my job now i'm just
[716 - 718] gonna sit at my desk and look at these
[718 - 721] dailies super quick to see where i stand
[721 - 724] in terms of timing
[724 - 726] i like the organization of the guy
[726 - 731] already four minutes
[731 - 735] four minutes one second 39
[735 - 737] so even if i'm standing slightly over
[737 - 741] four minutes it still is about 10 times
[741 - 744] faster than the traditional method and i
[744 - 746] have to call this
[748 - 752] success success success [Music]
[752 - 754] now i'm gonna post this uncut version to
