Sauces | Basics with Babish

The key of really really aromatic simmered sauces is to let the thing simmer on absolute minimum heat for 3 solid hours with constant stirring to prevent baking the bottom. It's a pain in the butt to look after it all the time but the first selfmade chilli con Carne or Bolognese sauce you taste that you simmered for hours is going to be a revelation. I promise.

Good choice of knife. Wusthof classic ikon is the most comfortable. I hate Shun and Global straight handles.

I realized I’ve been using the wrong end of green onion to cook with
I’ve been tossing the white part this whole time

Tried the mac and cheese tonight and the proportions were off with the milk

Idk how much more relatable it is to hear that someone else doesn’t like cilantro ether. I swear everyone I know in my family loves the stuff.

Cilantro hate train 😍😍😍 smells like soap

my gosh, long live cilantro !

*L A M B S A U C E*

Whats the best tomato to use in the salsa?

Babish that's a MORNAY sauce, not bechamel

This is extremely helpful! I love your beard!

He needs to explain the rules and concepts more when making the sauces. This is no different than watching another recipe video without any explanation of why

Isn’t béchamel + cheese = a mornay?

Last time I had a great mac and cheese was when I was visiting relatives way over the big pond in Philadelphia. I'm happy to see a good recipe I can use back down under.

Never had salsa before, but now I feel a very strong urge to try this recipes out!

WHY would you cut out all the good part of ANY pepper? WHY?????

You are awesome

I was trying to make Banana Bread French Toast, but Banana Bread falls apart too easily. So I came up with a Banana Nut sauce. For a loaf of french toast, I melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter on medium until it starts to brown. Add 3 oz Banana Liqueur, 1.5 oz Amaretto, and simmer for 15 minutes, keeping the pan on medium. Turn off heat, slice two bananas into the pan, stir once to coat the bananas, then sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar atop the sauce. Serve on French Toast/Waffles/Pancakes. The sauce is a bit heavy, so I recommend French Toast or Waffles rather than Pancakes.

Pls cover spicy sauce or bbq

Here in Costa Rica we call Pico de Gallo what you did first, the salsa

How can you hate cilantro?! I love it! I literally use it for everything!

Sucks that I can’t use red wine for the Pan sauce. Sucks being underage :(

my dad is gluten free so about a week ago i surprised him with a gluten free version of that mac and cheese, absolutely delicious!!! he keeps asking me to make it again lol

It kills me to wash fond off pans...
Its such a waste.

When I first heard the word Bechamel I was like ooo getting fancy up in here. Then I learn it's just roux and milk lmao.

my red sauce came out really thin and liquidy besides the chunks of tomato... any advice?

dat salsa is killer bro

that salsa is not salsa its actually pico de gallo but 😶

do you HAVE to use whole milk for the Bechamel? is Fat Free ok? (more of a taste reason and not a health reason)

for me its more like why would you wanna cook a steak if you don't make a amazing sauce with it

Next time you make spaghetti sauce, run the San Marzano tomatoes through a food mill. Then, put a high marrow beef bone in the sauce. The flavors you experience will shock you. Tomato seeds and skins are bitter. It's why people add sugar to the sauce. (This method came from my Great-Grandmother. She was Calabrian)

on smashing garlic with knifes, please get a good chef knife. I had mine broke clean near the heel from what might seem like fatigue fracture courtesy of too much pounding

You called cilantro disgusting. I've never felt so personally insulted in my life. Oh my god.

The filter keeps changing so the sauce and the pot keeps changing from red to orange to red to orange etc

DON'T YOU PUT MANGO IN MY SALSA

Grossest thing in salsa is onion

BUT WHERE'S THE LAMB SAUCE

I thanked him later.

So I’m guessing by adding bechamel to a red sauce I get a pink sauce/Rosa souce?

Thats a lot of butter 😅

Where do you get all those bad ass watches?

Will you teach how to grow a wonderful beard?

I can smell the onion from here

salsa is liquid wtf that's just a salad, also known as pico de gallo in mexico, but you're super wrong at calling it salsa

You forgot one thing. All these techniques are useless without a sharp knife and the skills needed to keep it sharp. I suggest people go and learn that first.

I hope u die in hell soon dylan barber u muslim killers all aussies are son of bitches like u bastart u will die soon, cant wait to kill you when i see u here in malaysia. Our malaysia and muslim brothers will be waiting for you pervert bastart aussie bastard burn in hell

Thank you, Babish.

Can you ever make red sauce with fresh tomatoes only?

Did anyone else notice about the colour change of the sauce with the different views?

Up until I did it last week my mother wasn't putting red wine in her red sauce for things like meatballs or Bolognas I felt weird showing someone just over twice my senior how to make a food that she made me my entire life

You cut exactly like me i feel better about myself now. I dont guide with the knuckles either but due to using the method babish used for so long iv mastered it and never cut myself..

Who else never actually learned how to do this and just kinda has been eyeballing everything for years? Like there is literally homemade mac in my fridge rn from last time I had a drinking party and I got shitfaced (I cook A LOT when drunk)

Do an episode on beef Jerky.

That's not a salsa, you made an andalusian picadillo but spicy.

For his basketball content, head over to his ballin with babish channel

Definitely some hair is going in that first salsa when he cuts the tomatoe it's on the cutting board lol

I hate cilantro too. I use it for cooking anyway

Thanks so much. Big fan and love all 3 of your "Babish Broadcasts". I feel bad as I have been watching and thoroughly enjoying everything yo do. I have to run through the vids and give you a bunch of thumbs and comments as I know that is what is important to talented You Tubers like yourself. I am extremely pleased that you can do this full time now. 4 mil is quite impressive. 3 things truly make me happy - watching people cook, cooking food and eating. More importantly experimenting, trying everything and respecting where it came from. Thanks so much for being informative, fresh, funny and taking us all away from the stresses of the world....if just for a moment.

As a Mexican born in Mexico who has lived in Mexico for 26 years I can say with 100% certainty that that is not salsa, that’s pico de gallo. Also, pico de gallo shouldn’t have any lime in it since it masks the flavours of the tomatoes and chillies, but considering that you added a clove of garlic and used jalapeños instead of serranos I bet you don’t want to taste the chilies or tomatoes.

That's not salsa... its pico de gallo with mangos.....

Omg I want to make that Mac and cheese so bad! Tomorrow night I will totally try! 🤤🤤🤤

Going to make the steak and pan sauce for the parents.

This is your church, you are the priest and I am one of your disciples.
I really appreciate your skill and time in your videos.

Babish’s ability to cook and amazing voice makes him the sexiest man to ever fucking exist

Any suggestions for milk substitutes??

I'm severely disabled and my hands don't like the twisting movements associated with using a traditional salt or pepper mill. I'm still a huge culinary nerd, so I bought a pair of fancy schmancy electric salt and pepper mills. I can't freaking wait to try my new mills in cooking dinner tomorrow night.

This channel makes me get more and more hungry. Everytime i see food i became hungry. And this channel is for cullinary. So. I am getting more and more hunger.

I have just finished making pasta sauce for the first time; I believe I watched this particular video at least five times over the course of the day. Thank you so much for posting this.

I Worked in a kitchen for a year at the age of 15/16 and it taught me so much...... including how to make really good bread, butter, and stocks. I also learned to chop a lot of things and now I don’t even need a cutting board to slice a lot of things into slices, I can do it in my hand. (I do it often with potatoes.

It's great and all except for the addition of lemon juice in a red wine sauce
Wine is already very acidic so why add even more acid?
That's just pretentious & gay lol
Have a good one

I'm lost in the sauce

I think the intrinsic value of cooking can be described in one sentence he says here: "You're the chef. You've earned it."

Cilantro hater!

Just made the red sauce for my family!

Who the fuck dislikes these videos?

Always use RGOGSH for salsa

Makes a salad and calls it a sauce.

...dude.

Yeah im in love

Finally someone who hates cilantro. Parsley all the way.

Can that red sauce be used for a French bread pizza or would a thicker sauce be preferable?

HOW DOES ONE HATE CILANTRO?!

Is it okay if I freeze the tomato sauce for a week or 2?

Can you substitute almond milk

Haven’t been here in a while and WHAT HE’S SHOWING HIS FACE?!?!

Yesss im not the only one who thinks cilantro is ass! 👎

What can I use as a substitute to red wine?

What is the best way to cut things so that you don’t cut your fingers?

I don't think he mentioned what temperature he cooked the fond at. Does anybody know? I was thinking medium heat, but I'm not sure

The tomato paste looked like cheetos at first at 6:28 😂😂

Hey is the a way to deglase using a non-alcoholic liquid

What would be some ideal non-alcoholic substitutions to red and white wines?

BABISH PLEASE MAKE THE COLORS IN YOUR VIDEOS CONSISTENT AND REALISTIC LOOKING

9:30 I hear "Bitchin with Babish"

Bechamel sauce is one of the 5 "mother sauces?" What are the other 4?

Red sauce 5:00

Do you have any non-alcoholic alternatives? I’m a minor and I have ptsd due to an alcohol dependent father so any “adult drink” is out of my life,,

Thank you so much for posting this. We made the wine reduction sauce and spread it over filet mignon, with homemade gnocchi and butter roasted carrots. We are so happy right now, I can't even handle how yummy that was.

I can’t tell if you say Erbs on purpose but it makes me laugh man! Your videos are awesome though! 👍
