Season and Smash Grilled Chicken Technique



We're not going to keep you here long.
Our video is about 8 minutes. In it, you'll find instructions for enhancing and tenderizing solid cuts of meat. It's a simple technique used best on chicken.

 It will speed up your cooking time when you take it to the grill.
  • The pieces are thinner, cooking faster
  • Being uniform in thickness they can be flipped at the same time
  • They will all be done close to the same time.
AND there may be a few extra tips for grilling vegetables thrown in for added value, for fun.

Let us know how we are doing. Tytus is getting better at filming and our next buy will be a microphone to make the audio better. 

What else? Give us some constructive criticism.
  • Do you like the banner on our Youtube page? 
  • Did you like the older one with the family better?
  • How is the video?
  • Do you know how to subscribe to our channel?
  • Should we make an instructional video on subscribing?
  • What DO or DON'T you like?
There you have a few starter questions to help you think about what we can work on.

Best Grilled Turkey Burger



Turkey burgers can be a hard thing. Some brands grind it to fine and the texture in your mouth can be dry and mealy. To conquer this, people like to add bread crumbs or eggs to bind them. Or trap moisture in. I use a brand from Aldis that has good consistency. I do not use eggs or breadcrumbs. This allows more people to eat. Sometimes Turkey lacks that good OOMF of meatiness that a beef burger gives. To add a level of that back into the burger, I have a few ingredient suggestions in the video. Keep the Turkey mixture as cold as you can before grilling or pan-frying to keep it firm. But don't be afraid of a loose mixture. Work fast, patty quick, get it on the heat...it will get firm with cooking. In this video, I realized I am not that glamorous to look at. That's ok. It's 2020 yall need something to laugh at! LOL

Salsa in 4 minutes and 4 ingredients!


Restaurant quality salsa made with 4 ingredients! This salsa takes 4 minutes or less to make. You can add as many extra ingredients as you like, but the taste is excellent by itself. 

Tytus and I decided to put this video together as we were making some salsa for Nachos. We're also releasing it early in case you need a quick recipe for Taco Tuesday! LOL 

Tell us about your favorite salsa and ingredients you like to add.

Waffles vs Pancakes


Why choose? Simple recipe and preparation of Waffles and Pancakes

This episode we let Tytus do some of the videoing and Tyrone (dad) tries to quit saying "alright" during filming. Ezra will again make his appearance as the official taste tester. This episode was brought to you by The Hot Mess Kitchen Crew! and Spices by Sarah!

**We aren't being sponsored by them, we just like their products. 

Simple Waffle and Pancake Recipe: 
1 cup all-purpose flour, 
2 tablespoons (or more) Honey 
2 teaspoons baking powder 
1 teaspoon salt 
1 cup milk (a little less for waffles) 
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, or vegetable oil 
1 large egg 
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (optional) 

Things we noticed to work on next time:
Lighting (we see some sunlight bleach out some parts of the video)
Sound (sound can range up and down as we try to film at different lengths)

BEST Grilled Cheese on a Burger Bun?


A grilled cheese sandwich is delicious! We eat tons of them. On a burger bun? We eat them on any kind of bread! We only need 3 ingredients: cheese, a form of bread, butter(...any form of fat? BACON FAT?). We can even get rid of the butter and still get a "toast" on the bread.

I thought it would be fitting to start the official first episode of The Bcookin Show with a classic. Grilled Cheese Sandwich. Toasted Cheese Sandwich if you prefer.

What is the best tasting version of Grilled Cheese Sandwich you have experienced or made? The most delicious grilled cheese is your own!
  • Smoked Gouda on multigrain
  • Manchego on a baguette
  • Sharp Cheddar on Sour Dough
  • American on white bread...
Your possibilities are endless. And what is the classic soup pairing? Tomato right? What would you say? I love a great grilled cheese sandwich with chili.

Have you ever tried shredding Cheddar or Monterrey cheese and using it on the outside of the bread? It crisps up real nice AND releases enough oil to replace the butter. Crispy cheese toast on the outside with a melted ooey-gooey center. Tytus discovered this technique a while back and he loves it.

We hope you enjoy the simplicity of our Grilled Cheese "how-to" video! In this "first" episode we managed to get the wide-angle or full use of the video screen. We also learned some more "tricks" about posting links and adding fun things to our editing.

The Bcookin Show Too! (Pizza)



Tytus and I have made some improvements. I am getting a little better at editing and using the "thumbnail, end screen, subscribe button, watermark, and next video/playlist" add-ons for Youtube.

In this next video you may recognize some older clips that I pieced together. Eventually we will break it all down in newer shows but for right now we are getting the feel of things. 

What does that mean? we will video more technique and recipe breakdown. Showing you how we do it. 

  • Make the dough, 
  • ingredients we use, 
  • equipment,
  • tips and tricks...
But for now, thanks for being patient as we work this all out. 

* Thank you Anne and Beth for emailing in your suggestions and comments! We appreciate the encouragement!
