"Let the knife do the work"

Alright knife, I'll be in the living room drinking a beer. Let me know when you're done.

"Cut the root and you will cry."

This man just fixed 83% of all onion cutting issues

I know you don't read your comments Gordon, however I've just 'practiced' making rice and it turned out better than anticipated! 50g of rice and 150ml of cold water and I followed the method you described. You did say 8 to 10 minutes and I gave it 9. The result was extremely satisfactory and I combined it with some leftovers and have had a lunch with no waste. I know how to do the onion as my daughter has already shown me. I'm off out shortly to buy a steel as I usually sharpen my knife on a whetstone, which can be more of a chore than using a steel. I'm 61 and everyday is a schoolday.... I've so wanted to master rice:-) Cheers!

1:15 Gordon has this little bounce for absolutely no reason sometimes when he’s talking it just makes my day

[paulpatterson]

You can tell by his body language how excited he is to talk about cooking. It truly is his passion.

“If you’re bad at timing, set a timer.”

A true master

Olive oil is fantastic at many things, but it does not prevent spaghetti from sticking together. Because it floats to the top of the water while the spaghetti is cooking in the water, having the oil there does nothing to prevent the pasta from sticking together while cooking. Furthermore, when you drain the water and oil away, a coat of oil is left on the pasta. Although this may not seem like a problem, the coating of oil prevents sauce from sticking to the pasta, making it difficult for the pasta to absorb the flavor of any sauce you put on it.

I love how excited he is to cook straight up rice. True love for cooking

2:35 Rice, pre-boil the water, then add rice later. Bring down to the lowest heat. Leave for ~20 minutes with cover-on. Do not stir. ~18-20 minutes later, check, if rice if fluffed, up, skim-through it with a fork, and then (if you prefer) add butter. Let butter melt, mix gently, scrape the bottom so rice doesn't stick. - Leave for another 3-5 minutes on low. - Done. Refregerate leftovers.
Edit: after the ~20min, add salt-to-taste at the end.
Edit: or use a rice cooker...

Amazing energy, He makes me actually want to cook, his enthusiasm is contagious and this just pasta and simple stuff, can't imagine the level of passion he exudes on a complicated dish.

Me at 11PM: I should really go shower and then sleep soon.

Also me at 1AM: Ohhhh so that's how you chop an onion.

Gordon yelling at incompetent restauranteurs is fine and all, but these cooking instructionals are just so great, this is Gordon at his best.

[atlanciaza]

For most of my life, about 30 years I have never appreciated cooking, always opting for the easy route, but in the past couple of months I have gained quite an appreciation for the art of cooking as I was very bad at it, thanks to youtube, and you, I now cook some of the tastiest food of all my family members. Thanks Bro. Much appreciated.

Me: That rice is soggy
Gordon: That right there is perfectly cooked rice
Me: That is perfectly cooked rice

[edenrome]

one of the reasons I like Gordon is he seems genuinely enthusiastic about cooking, and super happy to teach you what he knows. His vibe isn't 'ooh I'm a fancy chef I know better than you' it's 'cooking is fun! let's do it together! you did something I've never tried? How cool!!'

[mangle]

I like this calmer Gordon, he seems like a person instead of a character

[johnmacleod]

Very often I've often chopped my fingers off chopping an onion but you demonstrate the correct way and I won't forget now
