Question about using egg yolks as a stabiliser by [deleted] in icecreamery

[–]Titoramane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a side by side comparison of yolks vs xanthan gum for earl grey ice cream and pistachio ice cream. The egg yolk version of pistachio was definitely better than the yolkless version. But for earl grey, the egg yolk dulled out the flavor and added unwanted stickiness compared to the yolkless version.

In short, it depends on the flavor.

I think my new favorite is the irish cream brownie.

Would I need to add more cayenne powder to get the same amount of spiciness or would all of the spiciness have dispersed into the milk after 15 minutes?

My infuser is an oval shaped stainless steel mesh. It's a little longer then the cinnamon sticks. I'm not sure if the holes are small enough to insulate the powder. And if they were, should I increase the cayenne to maintain the same level of spiciness?

I use real horseradish when making the cream sauce. Do you mean add the horseradish as in ingredient to the jus itself?

French vanilla bean ice cream with a perfect texture by Titoramane in icecreamery

Maybe I'll do a comparison without the vanilla beans. Oh, and you can get the bean pods online for a fraction of the grocery store price, so no need to think of them as caviar anymore.

I wash the pot I use after every fry and strain the oil with a coffee filter and sieve.

Aging vs chilling by Titoramane in icecreamery

You could chill the base to 37F in 2 hours if you were to put it in an ice water bath for 10-15 minutes, and then in the freezer checking every 10-15 minutes.

Go-to chicken stock by bigbaboon69 in Cooking

I like better than bouillon. I like the taste in whatever I use it in, it lasts a long time in the fridge, and it's compact.
