What is panko, and why is it so much better than other breadcrumbs?

[EthanChlebowski]

This is like my dream tv show when I was growing up: A mashup of "How it's made" and "Good Eats".

Those guys at UpperCrust seem really cool. That was really nice of them to do an interview and explain the process and history of Panko. Also when he brought out the examples of good non commercial use Panko from different companies that he recommends was really awesome. That’s a stand up company in my book.

The guy showing compaines with good panko all stuck together was wholesome and considerate

5:19 - I once added Panko to some otherwise standard Bisquik "drop biscuits" on a whim and they were so popular with the girl I was seeing at the time I ended up having to make them 2-3 times a week for the rest of the time we were together. They really are quite good and I'll occasionally try panko in recipes for almost anything doughy now.

So a company called upper crust is famous for producing bread without a crust.

Oh god, that cardboard panko presentation melted my cold heart ♥️

2:27, Small correction, but that would be the Second Sino-Japanese War. The first would've been in the late 1800s and very separate from WWII.

They always ask "what is panko?", never "how is panko?"

I swear, Adam always has the most smooth ad transitions.

[Chiaros]

That presentation on the cardboard was so sweet and wholesome, letting us know what he recommends even if it's competition (in a way). Props to those guys, and thanks for a great video <3

Dad: So son, what are you going to do with the electric engineering degree I paid for
Son: bread goes

If someone had told me tankers invented Panko, I'd thought they were kidding.

Bread: exists


Some guy: *what if we electrocute it*

I used to work at a factory that produced Panko breadcrumbs. Literally bagged the Panko brand. Really tough, but kind of fun job. Those racks you see the soft bread sitting in, I used to load those of a conveyer belt. The bread would literally just fall apart in your hands if you were just the lightest bit to rough with it. Haven’t worked there in like 3 years so watching this video was like a blast from the past 😂

Just a small thing: The "ko" (粉) in Panko doesn't mean child, it only means powder, flower or dust. While child is also pronounced "ko", it's a different kanji (子). It's often the case in Japanese that something is pronounced the same way, but the different kanji indicate the meaning - a real nuissance for people trying to learn the language AND of course exactely the reason why you should internalize kanji if you do.
There are pages of words pronounced "ko", including, but not limited to the deceased (故); arc (弧); solitude, loneliness or orphan (孤); young (for animals) (仔); small, minor, petty (小) and some ancient Chinese tribes (胡).

[TheHoodedGravy]

Correction: “ko” in Panko means flour or powder (粉) while “ko” for child is written differently (子), so they are homophones in those contexts but are not the same word.

Ay nice shoutout to Ethan Chlebowski at the end! His video on deep-frying helps a lot for people who want to get into it but don't know where to start/ are afraid of starting.

[kingarthurtheth]

For a company called “Upper Crust” it’s pretty ironic that the bread they make has no crust

Judging by how it was invented, it's really a missed opportunity to call it tanko.
