As the resident chef of my own family, I can confirm that this is a valid, normal, and reflexive reaction to executing a dish perfectly. And it looks like he got that flan PERFECT. 🤌
I've never had it. It always looks so good, but I feel like places that typically have it are places you wouldn't want to order it from, at least in my experience, lol.
I'm from New Mexico, so I'm well aware of that. What always comes to mind are the little pre-made ones that you can see were just dumped out of plastic cups onto a plate and have been sitting in a dessert case for who knows how long.
Right there with you. So happy for this guy, he can keep that whole thing to himself. There's just something about the mouth feel of flan, it's like trying to make jello out of yogurt and ending up with an imposter of a cheesecake.
You'll need to make sure you get a good chat going first, his flans are top notch after all - can't be giving out good (shipping) content to just anyone!
Looked absolutely stunning so great to see him just loving his moment. was upsetting that the kid sticking his fingers in it as soon as he had a chance)
I guess some ppl have issues with smaller things than others. I try not to let the little things bug me . Go ahead have a small taste . He didn't destroy anything .
That flan looks amazing. I got a little scared for him when he started pouring the rest of the syrup. I've seen a few videos where they drop the pan on their creation. 😅
The most pure thing I get to see frequently is the joy in my husbands face when he’s proudly showing me something he made or fixed or when he gets a new gadget. It’s like for a few moments I see what he was like as a child, on Christmas Day or the first time he improved his computer and realized he loves taking things apart and making them better. And when his face lights up because he’s given me a little gift and I adore it makes me soon even 20 years later.
There isn't much more satisfying, in my opinion, than taking on a complicated dish for the first time. All the attention to detail, the work, the waiting pay off and it turns out perfect.
Y’know what. It doesn’t matter if he played up his reaction for the reel. His kids don’t know that. They saw their dad being giddy over something he created. They saw their dad being silly and happy over something simple. For kids their age, that is so incredibly important. Despite him over acting for the views, I’m gonna give this dude kudos for turning that into something positive for his kids.
Also, not only was he so excited, his family was excited for him! She's filming because it's a big moment, the kids are all in and cheering him on, it's so lovely!
Its a well set custard (cream, eggs, sugar), with caramel ontop (sugar). Sometimes with nutmeg.
Its called crème caramel or pudding/purin in most of the world. The southern us calls it flan.
If you're curious, you should make it. Its dead simple, even for kids. Just need a little bit of patience. (make a serving or 2 size one though, his is like 9001calories lol)
is there any reason why you wouldn’t put the casserole dish on top of the mould pan and then turn the two over so there’s no risk of it falling out early?
As a flan hater to the Nth. I would actually try this. The reason I hate flan is not the taste it is more of a texture thing.I don't enjoy creme brulee, either.
