Watched to learn something new but instead discovered my time in food service has prepared me well in my own kitchen. Still a good watch!
This also applies to any fresh veg or salad as well. Take them out of the plastic and put them in paper towel lined container. They will last way longer. If you don’t have space for a container, line the plastic bag with paper towels so none of the food touches the plastic.
American Test Kitchen has a lot of great content. It’s a lot more focused on general educational stuff and more common recipes compared to some of the other flashier stuff out there, but I’m glad people are getting a chance to see it.
Glass of water with a bag over the top, in the fridge, and parsley lasts forever

Say this word out loud. “House”
Ok great now say this one. “Herbs”
**SLAP!** No idiot not erbs hhhhherbs with an h at the front.
I use the paper towel trick for the woodier herbs but for the leafier ones I seem to get the best results by standing them up in a glass with a couple of cm of water, then securing a bag over the top with an elastic band.

Fresh herbs? In this economy?
Do you put them in the fridge after that though?
Erbs

If it’s really too much to use in a reasonable time, par boil then vacuum seal. You have backup in a pinch when you are too lazy to go to the market.
This guy has the H in a jar, away from the rest of the erbs.
So, I agree with him on like 99 % there. However I disagreed with his point about how we eat herbs with our eyes.
I wrap herbs in a damp tea towel or cloth then store in fridge. Does the job perfectly and there’s no waste plastic or paper.
Good ol’ America’s test kitchen back to tell me everything I do in the kitchen is wrong and I’m a fuckup
Also, if you have romaine lettuce or asparagus or celery, put it into a plastic bag with 1″ of water in the bottom, and store it upright, in a cup in the fridge door. The vegetable should be sitting with the roots in water, and the leaves peeking out of the plastic bag. The plastic bag will prevent most of the evaporation (fridge air is very dry) from the leaves, except at the top of the vegetable. The vegetable will soak up the 1″ of water in a couple days, so replenish periodically. The vegetables will stay good for 2-3 weeks, surprisingly.
TIL Zipper lock bags Like duh I just never took the time to think
You’ve also been capitalising words incorrectly, from the look of it!
I bought a house and the previous owners had massive gardens with tons of perennials like oregano, asparagus, strawberries.
It’s so nice to just walk outside and grab stuff if I need it for a recipe. Nothing goes to waste.
I read the title as ‘snorting’ and watched the entire thing. I don’t know what I expected.
Ha Ha! I was already doing it right!
Dill and parsley freeze really well fyi
Ty
He forgot to show you how to put the cilantro directly into the trash can.
I put lettuces, if the stems are long enough, in a drinking glass of water and cover it with the plastic bag I bought them in. Somehow the stem capillaries seem to still be able to absorb some moisture. It’s like how flowers in a vase last longer.
I mainly eat cilantro and kale and they last much longer that way. I’ve had Kale last me a month before they even started to yellow a bit. I do rinse out the glass several times each time I remove some to prevent algae.
i like this guy, but some of the other test kitchen people scare me. like the two blonde ladies have kind of a scary vibe. i like black lady though, she’s my favorite
