Why does Chef John say the secret behind a good honey glaze is not using too much honey?

Was asked the theory behind this when I made his honey glazed ham and didn’t have an answer besides his word. Anyone able to clarify?

Chefs salted chicken, but with turkey

I've made Chef's salted chicken multiple times. It's an easy go-to recipe that never fails. My wife was wanting this but with turkey. We have a bird a little less than 10lbs. Would 450 absolutely scorch this thing if I tried it? Has anyone ever done anything similar? Maybe i could spatchcock it?? Idk i'm just looking for some help.

Birthday Recipe Suggestion For 10 People

I'll be cooking a birthday dinner for 10 people. It'll be at a rental property in someone else's kitchen which already makes me a bit nervous, but I know there's a full kitchen. I was originally thinking chicken sandwiches, but I feel like I need something a bit nicer for a birthday dinner. Does anyone have any good Chef John recipe suggestions for this situation?

Thank you in advance!

State Fair lemonade

The state fair lemonade is almost life changing. I mashed over ripe peaches before dissolving the sugar and got this. Also the best raspberry, strawberry, & regular lemonade I have ever tasted. I recommend mashing summer fruits for flavored lemonade.

Chef John staying true to himself

I am so glad that Chef John is staying his authentic self and hasn't drifted off like Joshua Weissman and Binging with Babish have. Both were so create at first and then money took over and everything turned more and more into just pure entertainment and monetization.

Thank you Chef John!

Moroccan harira soup!

So good, it’s hearty and comforting, just soup that tastes amazing and warms your soul. I could have taken a prettier picture but that would have increased the amount of time before I could devour it. Not necessarily pretty, but wanted to share my love of this soup!

Peposo — why no sear?

Making it right now and it smells and looks fantastic. Wonder why chef John doesn’t have us sear it before. Would it burn the tomato? Is it traditionally not seared?

Reuse the Levain? (Sourdough bread)

I just made the sourdough in this video and I had a question- he makes a levain using 100g of a starter and then only uses part of it. Am I supposed to use the remainder as the "starter" for the next time I make this bread?

He says (at 3:27) after adding 70g of the levain: "Which by the way is the exact weight of the flour and water we added to our starter. Which means we'll have 100g left, which we'll pop in the fridge, which we'll use to make the next batch."

So now, in my fridge I have my original starter and the leftovers from Chef John's recipie. I thought levains were used up after a bake? And is the remainder supposed to be the "starter" in the recipie?

My original starter gets plain flour, and this one had wheat and rye in it- maybe I just have 2 starters now?

Any advice is appreciated! I'm still super new to bread making

Request fooooorrr...

German chocolate caaake! That's right. I'd like to make a request for the man himself to make a German chocolate cake. I've tried a couple different recipes and they felt "meh." Maybe this specific cake isn't my thing? Unsure, but I'd still like to have a go at making one from Chef John.

Has anybody ever made the carnitas recipe in a pressure cooker?

I love the carnitas recipe. I probably make it a couple dozen times a year and am slavishly faithful to it because it always delivers but it's suuuuuuper hot where I am today and don't think I can put the oven on for 4 hours. Anybody ever use an instant pot or whatever pressure cooker to make it and just finish it under the broiler? Is this crazy talk? Will I ruin the pork? I don't want to make pulled pork, I like the chunks.

The Gazpacho Pasta Salad is lovely! (but enough for an army)

https://preview.redd.it/12mmvuumj1md1.jpg?width=2728&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=da482590eb814de8ae514cba3464f28f31d4bfd5

It's a lovely, fresh pasta salad!

buuuuuuuuttt.... It feeds a whole army. Seriously, this is like 20-some portions. (And the solitary and seeded pepper is shockingly spicy - and I love Chef John's cayenne addiction.)

If you're not feeding ravenous teens or an army, cut it in half, and maybe use the jalepeno diced, not blended. But it is as promised: a lovely, fresh, and light non-mayo-dressed pasta salad!
