Plan better, how about grow smaller cows, You can’t plan better if you have a small family you need to utilize left over ingred.s’ Todd’s right, you cant buy half an onion, maybe we should all have more kids and then it would be easier to cook!

Great video!

Haha all the people who skipped this video missed out on possibly the funniest moment in Chef Todd video history.

I laughed so loud at the sausage wrapping. Haha.

Now I finally know how to wrap my sausage. Thank you Todd!

All these wrapping, brings a very important issue: Cooking small amounts using the ingredients bought in bulk, or preparing ingredients ahead of time to spend less time in cooking. Do you have any tips for preparing ingrediends and preserving them for future cooking? Like dicing onions, preparing a chicken or vegetable broth, etc. one week before you make the dish. So that one can prepare a weekly mean plan, prepare a lot of ingredients “mis-en-place”, etc. Or even cooked meals. Freezing, etc.

you didn’t mention ziploc bags..wouldn’t it be easier to just put the chicken breast in the ziploc bag before freezing?

By the time you use all those wraps, you’ve wasted money. Rather plan meals better and use the whole onion instead of half.

Thought leaving food it the tin was bad due to oxygen reacting to the metal and goes into the food.

How do preserve ginger or something else with a really uneaven surface?

bcbock November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

Wrap your sausage. Check.

monist1234 November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

thanks a lot. now i get the idea behind wrap food.

akazebra November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

Thanks Chef Todd

Good to know!

akazebra-
You shouldn’t keep anything in your fridge for an extended period of time. You can wrap a can of tomatoes the way I show for use within a few days. As I said in the video, it’s better to use plastic containers, but in a pinch, you can use the can. If the can is in your fridge for more than a week, it’ll probably rust. But, if you’ve kept an open can in tupperware for more than a week, it’s probably time to throw it away. The tomatoes will go bad before the can rusts.

akazebra November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

I though you were not supposed to keep stuff in open cans because they can rust. Anyone know if that is true?

“I think it’s me that’s not tightly wrapped” awesome. I loved it!!!
Another great episode. :)

bigtonutz November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

LMAO

Magrakamajiora November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

lol, would’ve been a weird rap since the background music sounded like reggae or ska or something…but, good video as always =P

JohnnyBravo704 November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

I always wrap my sausage

NomadDad57 November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

Bootylicious or Foodielicious? I just use more onion. And I have some cook books from Australia and they use words like “Share.” As in a share of bacon. They also refer to the drumstick and thigh portion of the chicken as Chicken Maryland. Keep your sausage wrapped …. A public service message from Chef Todd. That would make a good bumper sticker out here in California. You are the best.

almallegra November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

LOL you are too funny! Loved this and learned a lot. Thanks for the class. It was something I always wondered about.

jhooty14 November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

wiscoro November 30, 2009 at 12:51 am

May not be the most watched episode, but I love these fundamental process ones. My refrigerator is full of your “how not to do it” wraps……
