How to Make Perfect Buttermilk Pancakes, Every Time

Download

Making the perfect buttermilk pancakes—not the stacks you get at your local diner, we’re talking perfect here—takes practice, but it also often involves making a few testers for the dogs. But when you have the cooking technique dialed in, you’ll make perfect pancakes right from the start, and you won’t have to waste any batter on testers.

ChefSteps co-founder and executive director Grant Crilly shows you which pans to use, the exact pan temperature you want to get perfectly browned—not burnt—surfaces, and how to adjust the ratio of ingredients to get the most tender, flavorful classic buttermilk pancakes that are perfect for you.

How to Make Any Scrambled Egg You Want

Download

Scrambled eggs—one of the first dishes most people learn how to make. Heat up a pan, add some fat, and add beaten eggs. Simple, right? Well, yes and no. While it may be one of the easiest to make, it’s also easy to mess up. Cook the eggs for too long or at too high a temperature and you end up with a rubbery, weepy scramble. Add in the fact that you can achieve a wide variety of textures, and the dish doesn’t seem very simple at all. ChefSteps co-founder and executive director Grant Crilly shows you how time, temperature, and agitation can produce wildly different variations on scrambled eggs, and he offers a few key lessons on how to make the perfect scrambled eggs, whatever “perfect” means to you.
