German: * slaps pineapple on something*
German: "and I shall call this, Hawaii!"

Andong, the world was never meant to find out.

Andong, the reason you ruined your pan is because you dehydrated the sodium citrate too much.

Usually sodium citrate is sold as the dihydrate, which is more dissolvable in water and less like powdered cement. If you had taken the mixture off when it reduced and slowed the speed of bubbling, when it cools it'll crystallise and easily unstick from your pan.

Not impuning you or anything, just thought it'd help.

As a Hawaiian this the first I’ve ever heard of “Toast Hawai’i” and now it is my personal mission to try this today. I’m intrigued! 🤙🏽

Nächster logischer Schritt: der Gourmet Mettigel, Götterspeise mit Schuss und Nudelsalat mit Mayonaise.

Haha, when I studied in Germany, my host mother would regularly make us Hawaii Toast. I took the idea back home and still make occasionally! Thank you for the awesome content, Andong!

With the kale season coming up rapidly in northern Germany... maybe you could make a "from scratch"-video for this winter classic.

I still haven't found a warm dish with pineapple (looking at you pizza & al pastor) that I loved, but I'm always down to try another! Also is this primarily a breakfast thing? Kind of reminds me of a cheap / quick Monte Cristo sandwich with preserves. Thanks for the lesson man, I love weird cultural foods like this :)

[alicetwain]

In place of candied cherries, you may try Italian mostarda cherries: they are candied in syrup with added mustard oil. Sweet and aggressively pungent. (I am currently recovering my sense of taste after a bout of Covid-19, and I guess tonight I will try mostarda!)

[WayofRamen]

Yet another "hawaiian food" that I've never seen before haha. Great video man!

I'm italian and around 30 years ago I had one of those in Süd-Tyrol (or in Austria). Apparently that evening no one spoke italian, I was a kid and my parents ordered a toast for me (which in Italy means bread, cheese, ham, bread). I was kind of shocked but I appreciated the pineapple, not very much the whole thing. All of a sudden you just made me re-experience an old memory that I've almost lost. Thanks man!

[justanotherbangtanstan]

i was just googling 'toast hawaii' earlier today because my friend told me about it !!! have to make this now, thank you andong :DD

[InnuendoXP]

I'm curious but at the same time - some food is just meant to be trashy & sometimes that's exactly what you want.

[annescheibler]

I love Toast Hawaii, but I always use Raclette Cheese. Also, try the version with pears and bacon. Delicious as well. Brings back childhood memories!

[ybnormalkt]

I’ve been watching the Netflix show Dark, and in one of the episodes they mention Toast Hawaii. I didn’t know what it was, but then this video came out! Perfect timing.

[irian]

Such nostalgia! In my family Toast Hawaii "evolved" into "toast with baked camembert and pineapple". Does anyone else know this? Toast topped with baked camembert (the kind covered in bread crumbs you can buy frozen), a slice of pineapple and cranberry jam!

[Zwiarja]

In Belgium we have croque Hawaï which is like croque monsieur but with a slice of canned pineapple, I wouldn't be surprised it is a descendent of the toast Hawaï

Next on this channel, German Party Soups: Leek Soup with "Schmelzkäse", Gyros Soup, "Mitternachtssuppe" with kidney beans and Cabanossi, Eastern German Soljanka...

Kudos to you; 11:15 I Wrote my thesis to become a food scientist about process cheese; and yeah that's basically how you do it.
I could pretend to give you hints on how to improve it; but honestly my specialization is more to make it… more economic. There are a lot of things, how to use less cheese and keep the same flavor/ texture profile.
But spoiler; i also prefer my toast Hawaii with real cheese. An emmentaler cheese; the nutty flavor is just wonderful. And i always spread some mustard and mayo on the bread for some more flavors. Toast Hawaii is definitely not high cuisine, but a nice comfort food.

Ich liebe Toast Hawaii. Samstag Abend bei Oma und Opa nach der Badewanne im Trainingsanzug in der Küche sitzen, es riecht nach Haarfestiger ( flüssig) von Oma, gleich kommt Wetten dass...und gleich gibt es Toast Hawaii. Das sind selige Kindheitserinnerungen.
