Frozen can be less expensive Some people think that frozen food is pricier than fresh food, but that is not always the case. In fact, frozen fruits and vegetables are often dollars cheaper than the same fresh variety, especially when it’s not in season (i.e. berries in the winter). Frozen foods can help prevent waste Feeling green? While it’s true that the packaging of some. Freezing perishable foods is a great way to preserve them, but they won’t stay fresh forever.

Meats can remain in the freezer from 3 to 12 months, depending on the cut. Poultry (chicken and turkey). Buy This, Not That This $29 kitchen hack is a chef’s best-kept secret to keep food fresh longer Published: June 21, 2019 at 1:07 p.m. ET. 4. Does food keep indefinitely in the freezer?

Yes, but mostly no. “Frozen foods can be kept in your freezer indefinitely and still be safe to eat assuming they stayed frozen solid the whole. 1. Let hot foods come to room temperature first. This will help to freeze food uniformly and prevent opportunities for spoilage. Hot foods may also warm and damage the other contents in the freezer.

“The best frozen foods, in my opinion, would be grains such as quinoa, brown rice, and farro. I like them because some grains can take up to 30 minutes to cook, however, the frozen versions are all ready to go within minutes and cook at the perfect temperature — it takes out all of the guesswork when cooking on the stovetop.”. Obviously, a frozen meal is processed. Frozen and fast food may sustain your life, but they are void of the real nutrition that the body needs to be strong and vital. From coughs and colds to degenerative disease, without proper nutrition the body will not have the energy it needs to stay well.

Keep your refrigerator at 40°F or below and know when to throw food out external icon. Refrigerate perishable food within 2 hours. (If outdoor temperature is above 90°F, refrigerate within 1 hour.) Thaw frozen food safely in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave. To thaw, place the frozen cheese in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then take it out so the cheese can reach room temperature.

Cheese will last a few months in the freezer. You Nee. In fast-food restaurants, items are simply heated and assembled instead of cooked (except for the burger patties, which arrive raw and are cooked for the exact same amount of time across the board).

At casual dining chains like Applebee’s, most of the food is mass-produced and frozen, then shipped to the restaurants and stored in walk-in.

List of related literature:

Moreover, pre-cooked frozen foods tend in the long run to be more expensive than fresh foods because of the expensive equipment required for freezing, transporting these foods in a frozen state, and thawing them in microwave or convection pressure ovens.

  • This video should be called how to kill your friends with food poisoning (because we don’t know how to thaw out frozen food or cook it)

  • I would have thought you would investigate why fresh produce is taking so long to get to consumers and what is legally being done about it. Frozen is not always best, also most food is cooked destroying enzymes. Olive oil over 6 months from harvest time is useless too as U.K. does not follow Australia’s high standard tests,this is very serious as it all effects public health. Radiation and pesticides all effect health too.

  • 3:54 Lmao shorty was holding a pitcher of water next thing you know she has the newspaper with his arrest mentioned. I’m ������������

  • I love Erin, and What the Flavour is good… but I miss cheat day.
    How about Erin cooking for cheat day? Show the cheat day first, then show us how to make them.

  • Gordon Ramsay used to be a drunk too. He was arrested for a DUI in 2002 and was so drunk he was literally driving on the wrong side of the street.

  • I’ve froze cheese and butter before and it still tastes exactly the same as it did before it went in! Absolutely loving these tips and hacks:) x

  • Ok so, for those who love soft boiled eggs in their ramen (like me!) you plop those eggs into boiling water and cook for 6.5 minutes then ice bath them. Turn out perfectly cooked every time <3
    Also, add a bit of fat to your ramen, like chili oil or butter, it elevates the flavour and fills you up more. (then there is also adding veggies, like frozen onions and baby carrots for those who don’t have much time)

  • @ 1:37
    Lady: I believe in that.
    Gordon: You believe in that, but you’re not actually practicing it.
    Lady: Yes
    Gordon: So, You’re saying 1 thing & Doing the Opposite?
    Lady: Right
    Me: ��

  • BUT IT’S FRESH!!!!!! Another example of bastardry at the BBC. Con-artistry in
    the media. The technical name for this is bullartistry. And it’s EVERYWHERE. And it
    started when humans first learnt to talk. This was its ORIGINA PURPOSE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mh0F7Ve-JKw

  • Here’s another little fun “hack” to slightly elevate Ramen… you cook ‘er per usual, but while it’s still hot, you wanna drain all of the water out and put in about a tablespoon of butter (or your fav butter substitute!) and then add in the seasoning packet and mix it all up. Also, don’t be afraid to sprinkle in a little of your favorite Mrs Dash seasoning blend. (Mrs Dash helps elevate any frozen dinner on it’s own, I highly suggest!!) ANYWAY, now you’ve got yourself a creamy, Ramen side-dish!! DELISH! XOXO

  • This is why our entire nation has gone to shit.
    Rather than paying their employees well and increasing overall quality in our services and products, they would rather import cheap shit from China or elsewhere thereby lower overall profit and fullfilling their own fears by being greedy.

  • I wish Ramsey would visit some restaurants in my town that people actually think is “good food”…Most people don’t know what the fuck a good dish is nowadays.

  • I love Erin, and What the Flavour is good… but I miss cheat day.
    How about Erin cooking for cheat day? Show the cheat day first, then show us how to make them.

  • OMG…don’t they have health codes in the U.S. and inspectors??? In Canada 9 out of 10 of these restaurants would be closed down! Disgusting.

  • With this Coronavirus it is an excellent time for restaurants worldwide to have a right clean up and get rid of all the stale food especially the catering establishments who in the last food hygiene rating got zero, one, two or three stars out of five stars.
    These places are going to be closed for several weeks.

  • If you pause and read the article you can tell that Ramsay/the network already knew about this before she told him. Not a criticism, show is still great, just an interesting note of how reality tv is made.

  • “I don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen, that’s not my area” you’re the owner of a restaurant, the food is pretty fucking important

  • After watching all these Kitchen Nightmare episodes, one of the simple golden rules just seems to be not to freeze your food. If people wanted frozen food they could just have it at home, people eat out because they expect a certain quality, and freshness is the most basic of qualities.

  • This was great, but I’m just a little confused how cooking the frozen meal is easier than buying pre-cut veggies + a piece of chicken and cooking that xD

  • This was great, but I’m just a little confused how cooking the frozen meal is easier than buying pre-cut veggies + a piece of chicken and cooking that xD

  • UK version of this show is SOOOO much better.

    why the fuck does the US version have danger music and a voice over?
    people who watch this, watch the UK seasons, they’re way better.

  • I don’t understand people who think that they should cut corners to save money.

    If you do things right and put your all into a business, it’s likely to be at least somewhat successful and make more money that you would’ve gained cutting corners.

  • 2:57 ( to be read in David Attenboroughs voice) And here we see the wild Ramsay raising up on his hind legs in a show of dominance over the tiny female restaurant owner. Who apon seeing this impressive display will re think her statement of “It came in this morning. Its fresh…”

  • Frozen shrimp are fresher than “fresh” shrimp. The shrimp boats go out until they fill the boat which can take a couple of days by the time they get to restaurants they have been sitting on ice for many days. Frozen shrimp are usually flash frozen on the boat the minute they are caught, IQF shrimp are much fresher and better than “fresh” shrimp.

  • what is wrong with the audio? it’s pitched up or slightly distorted. is youtube copyright really so totalitarian that people who own the show can’t even post it without changing something to get striked?

  • It is so pathetic that they only focus on these boring food and vitamin c, so the taste doesn’t matter? Surely fresh vegetables taste better.

  • the blame is both on the owner and the chef. The chef is lazy but the owner should have the final say and tell the chef to cut the crap.

  • I am not the Chef, Gordon Yeah but you are the owner. and it is your money that is wasted because of that shitty handling of food

  • This video should be called how to kill your friends with food poisoning (because we don’t know how to thaw out frozen food or cook it)

  • Gordon:YOU DON’T LIKE FROZEN FOOD!!! SO YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO SELL IT TO THE CUSTOMERS!!!
    Owner:So It’s NOT Working Because This Is FROZEN That’s What You’re Telling Me!
    If Something Is FROZEN It’s BAD! Just Stays FROZEN It’s BAD!
    Me:IF ITS FROZEN THEN ITS NOT FUCKING FRESH!!! AND 99.9% OF CUSTOMERS WHEN COMING INTO A RESTAURANT EXPECT TO PAY THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR FRESH FOOD!!!
    IF THEY WANTED FROZEN FOOD THEY WOULD JUST GO TO THE SUPERMARKET RATHER THAN COME TO YOUR JOKE OF A RESTAURANT!!!

  • Maybe her idea of frozen food is…
    Frozen for days.. Or it’s cooked and frozen ready to be microwaved or cooked again..
    I get it… She’s stupid

    Both are “proper” and not framed weirdly, like some retards do:)

  • Gordon: “Do you defrost the shrimp in the microwave?”

    Owner: “No we defrost it in ice water”

    Me: last 3 braincells have left the chat:U

  • How can a chef that has as many years experience as Gordon Ramsey not grasp the simple concept of food that is fresh-frozen?? It’s not that hard. It was fresh, then it was frozen, so now it’s fresh-frozen.

  • Ooooh this was a funny one!
    Okaythis mite seem weird, but, here’s my ramen hack:
    *make the noodles
    *DONT add “flave packet”
    *INSTEADadd any or ALL of these:
    -butter (could be spray or “faux” butter)
    -cottage cheese/cream cheese/ricotta
    -EXTRA cheese (shredded ANYTHING)
    -salt & pepper
    -parmesean on top (optional)
    COMFORT FOOD HEAVEN.
    And ya know what???
    You can make the entire thing vegan n gluten free if u want n itll STILL b good!

  • @ 1:37

  • Oh my Lord, how incongruous is the music bed? Once you’re in the rhythm of a Kitchen Nightmares, you forget, but coming into a segment cold, it’s weird to hear the score from a tense, gripping thriller from 1988 underscoring chicken blood in a sink.

  • Some nutrients do degrade over time from farm to table so freezing can help preserve. But testing vitamin C as the only indicator of “healthy” doesn’t give us information about total nutrient density or account for cooking methods and further preservation or degradation before it even has a chance to be absorbed by our body. Once vitamins are actually in our body then we can also talk about utilization and things like Vitamin C being a drop in the bucket for an overall day or week of food consumption that also contain or is supplemented with vitamin C. I love food science though:)

  • Meanwhile in Greenland:
    Gordon: “But this fish is fresh! Why do you call it “repulsive frozen fish”? No wonder your business is struggling!
    Owner: Because is fish from the frozen lake, therefore its frozen!
    Gordon: Thats not… whatever, but why do you call it “repulsive” anyways?
    Owner: “Oh, this fish is not easy to catch! It repulse my nets
    Gordon: What? Are you crazy? To make things worse, you named the restaurant “Vomit eatery”
    Owner: Vomit is the name of the lake!
    Gordon: What the fu….

  • I’ve seen a video where frozen fish was the freshest it could be. The guy gets a frozen solid fish out the freezer and put it in water,in a couple minutes they begin swimming again

  • Frozen shrimp are fresher than “fresh” shrimp. The shrimp boats go out until they fill the boat which can take a couple of days by the time they get to restaurants they have been sitting on ice for many days.

  • 3:54 Lmao shorty was holding a pitcher of water next thing you know she has the newspaper with his arrest mentioned. I’m ������������

  • Cells bursting is good for nutrition.. sure Shill much.

    Frozen food is also bad for environment fumy how BBC say global warming is bad then go ahead harm the environment with the chemical process of flash frozen food. not to mention the refrigiration gas is bad for nature also. Hypocrite much?

  • Really great hacks and it has also made me look at Iceland in a different way, I thought they did mainly party food, didn’t realise they had such a variety of stuff. Thanks Channel Mum x

  • Her & the other owner with the nasally voice who kept asking him if she should take the gravy away are the most incompetent owners on this show.

  • Initially I was just mad thinking that the owner was blaming the chef for everything and saying she didn’t know anything about the freshness of the food. Then I saw at the end of the video that the chef is her son. How can she blame her own son and pretend like she doesn’t communicate with him at all! ��‍♀️

  • FRESH OR FROZEN IT IS ALL TAINTED WITH CHEMICALS, WEEDKILLER AND GMO….PEOPLE DON`T KNOW THAT MOST OF THE VEG THAT YOU BUY IN THE SUPERMARKETS IS GROWN ON INSULATION BLOCKS UNDER GLASS AND CHEMICALLY FED….(THANET EARTH) IT NEVER SEE`S SOIL…THAT IS WHY TOMATO`S CUCUMBER ETC ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE AND WEIGHT. FROZEN FOOD WHEN COOKED IS MUSHY OR SOGGY AS OPPOSED TO FRESH WHICH IS USUALLY NICE AND FIRM WITH GOOD TEXTURE.

  • My favorite was the lean cuisine one because I’m alllll about some chicken!!! While this isn’t a hack…I just watched your episode of Swapped, Erin, and I wanna see you make the pesto lasagna that you had Sinead make!!!

  • I’ve really been into experimental cooking lately so this sounds so fun! DEf gonna need that book tho lolI’m notorious for using frozen foods so I’m eager to see what other ideas are in there!
    I REALLY love the ramen hack!:D I’ve fallen out of the habit for a while but I used to make ramen and leave out the spice packet and instead, once the noodles are drained, slap them into a bowl and pour a prefferred amount of cambel’s Beefy Mushroom soup on it, then add some sauted mushrooms on top! I uh, forgot what kind of mushrooms they are tho, but I know they’re big and brown and sometimes referred to as a poor mans meat??? Either way, its super good.
    The tater tot one looks really good too! Damn ya’ll I’m making plans after this episode!

  • If you add chopped green onion to the ramen and some scrambled eggs, chopped up chicken (leftovers are the best)you would have what I call junkyard brunch. The greatest thing about green onions you get ones with roots and can keep them alive in just water, I only end up buying them twice a year due to warmer weather and my kids wanting to plant them outside.

  • Her & the other owner with the nasally voice who kept asking him if she should take the gravy away are the most incompetent owners on this show.

  • my favorite way to make ramen is to fry it!

    you crunch up all the noods and put them in a pan with a lil bit of oil and cook then until brown. Then pour in some water and let the noods get soft and HALF the packet of seasoning and once the water is gone they are done and ready to eat! i like to add some veggs meat and cheese to it and its delicious. I havent had normal ramen in centuries.

  • Totally off topic of this video. Erin, what kind of shampoo do you use for your red hair? Red fades super quick for me. Even with the expensive color shampoos

  • I am not the Chef, Gordon Yeah but you are the owner. and it is your money that is wasted because of that shitty handling of food

  • Y’ALL!! I’m here! Your frozen foods are about to be shook!!!!!!!!!! Hope you liked this episode!?! Let me know if you want more meal hacks? or restaurant recreations? Or food mashups!?

  • I LOVE this episode, and you, Erin! Genius! Although, I don’t know if I missed the announcement or what, but are you guys not doing “Cheat Day” anymore?

  • i think i get the problem…..they playing with semantics…..we bought it fresh….but what happens to it afterwards is none of your business…….we just cooked it so it was freshly cooked, but what happens before we cook is none of your business….. we just prepared it so it is freshly made, but the fact that it was in the microwave before it got to you means nothing…… this should be illegal and there should be higher standards……

  • I wish Ramsey would visit some restaurants in my town that people actually think is “good food”…Most people don’t know what the fuck a good dish is nowadays.

  • I’m actually surprised with how this show is turnin’, when you said on the first episode u would be all w/ experts and stuff I was skeptical, thinking u would bring ppl rlly bad in cooking just to have a fun day trying to make food; but it all ended up being so informational, and the guests are great, I’ve never felt so good about getting the wrong idea about something

  • I feel like such a pig compared to these girls. If Im hungry, I’ll just eat whatever I have prepare quick. I don’t really care about how my food look as long as it taste okay and its food. My fave food is any food I don’t have to cook for hours until I get to eat it. The same with the “meatless meat” video. I would’ve eaten all those foods without a second thought. Its food, its doesn’t look dangerous and its probably filling. I need no more info. How am I only 98 lb?

  • im on KN marathon and it always seems like the reason their business is suffering is almost always because there is something wrong with their mental health, like huge ego, depression, delusional, relationships…not because of any tangible practical issues like they dont have enough equipments or something

  • Not to mention the blanching done before freezing is seems like an oversight, as it also sizably removes nutrients. Eat in season, duh. It’s better taste, nutrition, and better for the environment, but guys, I’m gonna eat fresh. If you’re gonna build healthy habits, taste and texture from fresh always wins out for me.

  • I can get behind this. I’ll be eating more Amy’s after watching this. Clean prep, quality ingredients and wonderful warm owners and employees? I love it.

  • These foods are so good! Being a single bachelor it’s so nice to get home after a long tiring work day knowing I can eat something hot and delicious that feels like a wife or my momma would make!

  • Salt is everything. I’m sick of the “no added salt” times we live in! Give me the good old days when everything was salty & we weren’t made to feel ashamed!✊��

  • You would be suprised if you knew how many people do not have the intelligence needed to know what is fresh and what is frozen. Some people believe: “I froze it but i bought it fresh, thus it is fresh” instead of “If you freeze it at any time, it is frozen and by no means fresh anymore”.

  • Amy’s, you need a faster product cycle. You have a few real winners, like the cashew sauce noodles and the cheese enchiladas (without beans and rice). Nine days out of ten, those two rows are empty all the way to the back of the freezer in both Walmart stores where I live. But most of your products just sit there taking up space. Isn’t it obvious that we don’t like everything you do? Look at Lay’s. They’re 80% winner products. The losers disappear in a few weeks and you never see them again. Amy’s is 10% winner and 90% meh.

  • How can a chef that has as many years experience as Gordon Ramsey not grasp the simple concept of food that is fresh-frozen?? It’s not that hard. It was fresh, then it was frozen, so now it’s fresh-frozen.

  • For ramen add in some veggies and onions along with the egg and pot stickers. That way you can pretend it’s healthy.:D I also like to add some extra seasonings and you can try different seasoning combos to see what you like the best! Just maybe not any extra salt…

  • You would be suprised if you knew how many people do not have the intelligence needed to know what is fresh and what is frozen. Some people believe: “I froze it but i bought it fresh, thus it is fresh” instead of “If you freeze it at any time, it is frozen and by no means fresh anymore”.

  • love this, but can you not say these hacks are for lazy people? some of us cant cook because we dont have the means, have really busy work days, family life or when we do find the time to cook, are so tired from the day that we just want something quick and simple. These recipes are amazing, and can work for anyone who is constantly on the go, please don’t call people lazy, it might just be quite the opposite, but when it comes to meals, we dont really look what we’re putting into our body or how, just making sure we eat during the day.

  • this women is on some serious drugs who the fuck wastes$12,000 worth of food do you how many people that could feed Jesus I truly believe in what I’m about to say if nobody wasted food they’re would be enough food to feed everybody on this earth and a lot left over I really believe that this is a discrase

  • watching this at 2 in the morning while eating noodles with Thai curry tuna from the can, it may sound wrong and yet it tastes so right

  • I hate these owners who don’t take any responsibility for what goes on in the kitchen, owners should be observing how the kitchens are ran

  • Some nutrients do degrade over time from farm to table so freezing can help preserve. But testing vitamin C as the only indicator of “healthy” doesn’t give us information about total nutrient density or account for cooking methods and further preservation or degradation before it even has a chance to be absorbed by our body. Once vitamins are actually in our body then we can also talk about utilization and things like Vitamin C being a drop in the bucket for an overall day or week of food consumption that also contain or is supplemented with vitamin C. I love food science though:)

  • These “restaurant” owners genuinely don’t understand that fresh means “never frozen”. I think that they think that fresh means “not rotten”.

  • I never knew you could order in eggs that’s boiled and peeled and I work in a restaurant. I guess you can get just about anything in America as long as you can afford it ����‍♀️

  • I’ve froze cheese and butter before and it still tastes exactly the same as it did before it went in! Absolutely loving these tips and hacks:) x

  • This is why surprise store audit is a must to make sure the image,quality,service & cleanliness are on standards. The first place I check on our store is the walk in chiller to check our products for expired product is a mortal sin on a food establishment.

  • It is so pathetic that they only focus on these boring food and vitamin c, so the taste doesn’t matter? Surely fresh vegetables taste better.

  • Gordon is the CEO of acting surprised when the owner and chefs fuck up
    “WhAt? The chef doesn’t dictate the menu?” Like yeah bud, do they ever?

  • Loveeee this video! I plan meals to do my shopping but then come to the day and want something different so always wasting food �� will have to get myself to Iceland to try some of these ideas!! Great video xxx

  • I never knew you could order in eggs that’s boiled and peeled and I work in a restaurant. I guess you can get just about anything in America as long as you can afford it ����‍♀️

  • Ramsey: can i have Word with Laura
    Laura: ok
    Ramsey:WTF ARE YOU THINKING YOURE DONING WTF FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF YOU FFFFFFFFFFFFF

  • I gave this video a thumbs up because I really like the hosts and the idea, but I have to say watching people that don’t know how to cook try to do a cooking show (un-ironically) is kind of frustrating to watch. Bring back Cheat Day! That was the place for this kind of content.

  • My first job was on a kfc….we recibe chicken every day, had only for use 3 day raw, 1 day marined…how is that my job on a fast food in third world country is better with the managment of food that a RESTAURANT.

  • Erin you uncultured swan what you made was Dry Mein, Ramen is with the water still inside of it, also HOW YOU MAKE ANY KIND OF NOODLES YOUR SUPPOSED TO PUT THE SAUCE LAST IN THE WATER NOT LAST OUTSIDE OF IT!!! ����‍♀️

  • im on KN marathon and it always seems like the reason their business is suffering is almost always because there is something wrong with their mental health, like huge ego, depression, delusional, relationships…not because of any tangible practical issues like they dont have enough equipments or something

  • i hope hey gave the food that was still “good” to like an homeless shelter, coz i’d be pissed if they throw everything, when it passed the date ok but if its just frozen food then give them

  • my favorite way to make ramen is to fry it!

    you crunch up all the noods and put them in a pan with a lil bit of oil and cook then until brown. Then pour in some water and let the noods get soft and HALF the packet of seasoning and once the water is gone they are done and ready to eat! i like to add some veggs meat and cheese to it and its delicious. I havent had normal ramen in centuries.

  • FRESH OR FROZEN IT IS ALL TAINTED WITH CHEMICALS, WEEDKILLER AND GMO….PEOPLE DON`T KNOW THAT MOST OF THE VEG THAT YOU BUY IN THE SUPERMARKETS IS GROWN ON INSULATION BLOCKS UNDER GLASS AND CHEMICALLY FED….(THANET EARTH) IT NEVER SEE`S SOIL…THAT IS WHY TOMATO`S CUCUMBER ETC ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE AND WEIGHT. FROZEN FOOD WHEN COOKED IS MUSHY OR SOGGY AS OPPOSED TO FRESH WHICH IS USUALLY NICE AND FIRM WITH GOOD TEXTURE.

  • i feel like i could run a restaurant after binge watching these.
    step 1: have a menu that is small and easy to cook fresh
    step 2: clean the god damn restaurant
    step 3: pay your staff well and have good staff that respect everyone
    step 4: don’t have a shitty theme
    step 5: don’t be a dick towards your staff

  • Amy’s make the most delicious, healthy foods. And after watching this video showing a glimpse of happy employees, I love this company even more. ❤️✨

  • For ramen add in some veggies and onions along with the egg and pot stickers. That way you can pretend it’s healthy.:D I also like to add some extra seasonings and you can try different seasoning combos to see what you like the best! Just maybe not any extra salt…

  • If you add chopped green onion to the ramen and some scrambled eggs, chopped up chicken (leftovers are the best)you would have what I call junkyard brunch. The greatest thing about green onions you get ones with roots and can keep them alive in just water, I only end up buying them twice a year due to warmer weather and my kids wanting to plant them outside.

  • Not to mention the blanching done before freezing is seems like an oversight, as it also sizably removes nutrients. Eat in season, duh. It’s better taste, nutrition, and better for the environment, but guys, I’m gonna eat fresh. If you’re gonna build healthy habits, taste and texture from fresh always wins out for me.

  • Gordon is the CEO of acting surprised when the owner and chefs fuck up
    “WhAt? The chef doesn’t dictate the menu?” Like yeah bud, do they ever?

  • Really great hacks and it has also made me look at Iceland in a different way, I thought they did mainly party food, didn’t realise they had such a variety of stuff. Thanks Channel Mum x

  • Gordon Ramsay used to be a drunk too. He was arrested for a DUI in 2002 and was so drunk he was literally driving on the wrong side of the street.

  • Here’s another little fun “hack” to slightly elevate Ramen… you cook ‘er per usual, but while it’s still hot, you wanna drain all of the water out and put in about a tablespoon of butter (or your fav butter substitute!) and then add in the seasoning packet and mix it all up. Also, don’t be afraid to sprinkle in a little of your favorite Mrs Dash seasoning blend. (Mrs Dash helps elevate any frozen dinner on it’s own, I highly suggest!!) ANYWAY, now you’ve got yourself a creamy, Ramen side-dish!! DELISH! XOXO

  • I LOVE this episode, and you, Erin! Genius! Although, I don’t know if I missed the announcement or what, but are you guys not doing “Cheat Day” anymore?

  • I wonder if The Queen is fed from the supermarket or her own veg are picked and fed to her? Is that why she & her husband have made the age they are?

  • I love these. I end up watching it rewatching the actual episode. I wish it had the name/episode written on the description or somewhere. Just a suggestion, your work is very much appreciated!!

  • Meanwhile in Greenland:
    Gordon: “But this fish is fresh! Why do you call it “repulsive frozen fish”? No wonder your business is struggling!
    Owner: Because is fish from the frozen lake, therefore its frozen!
    Gordon: Thats not… whatever, but why do you call it “repulsive” anyways?
    Owner: “Oh, this fish is not easy to catch! It repulse my nets
    Gordon: What? Are you crazy? To make things worse, you named the restaurant “Vomit eatery”
    Owner: Vomit is the name of the lake!
    Gordon: What the fu….

  • I love how the owners were so ready to blame the staff, then the truth came out that it was directly the owners fault that the kitchen was such a mess. Absolutely love it! Nine times out of 10 the wealthiest person in the room is the laziest.

  • I feel like such a pig compared to these girls. If Im hungry, I’ll just eat whatever I have prepare quick. I don’t really care about how my food look as long as it taste okay and its food. My fave food is any food I don’t have to cook for hours until I get to eat it. The same with the “meatless meat” video. I would’ve eaten all those foods without a second thought. Its food, its doesn’t look dangerous and its probably filling. I need no more info. How am I only 98 lb?

  • I wonder if The Queen is fed from the supermarket or her own veg are picked and fed to her? Is that why she & her husband have made the age they are?

  • Still amazes me how anyone can run a restaurant in USA. In UK we have to follow certain steps and rules first and have food standards agencies

  • Maybe her idea of frozen food is…
    Frozen for days.. Or it’s cooked and frozen ready to be microwaved or cooked again..
    I get it… She’s stupid

  • the blame is both on the owner and the chef. The chef is lazy but the owner should have the final say and tell the chef to cut the crap.

  • I’m so surprised that you can freeze cheese (why didn’t I know this before!?), I was with Katy, I thought it would have made it go bad �� x

  • I’ve seen a video where frozen fish was the freshest it could be. The guy gets a frozen solid fish out the freezer and put it in water,in a couple minutes they begin swimming again

  • “I don’t know what’s going on in the kitchen, that’s not my area” you’re the owner of a restaurant, the food is pretty fucking important

  • I don’t understand people who think that they should cut corners to save money.

    If you do things right and put your all into a business, it’s likely to be at least somewhat successful and make more money that you would’ve gained cutting corners.

  • This is why our entire nation has gone to shit.
    Rather than paying their employees well and increasing overall quality in our services and products, they would rather import cheap shit from China or elsewhere thereby lower overall profit and fullfilling their own fears by being greedy.

  • I love how the owners were so ready to blame the staff, then the truth came out that it was directly the owners fault that the kitchen was such a mess. Absolutely love it! Nine times out of 10 the wealthiest person in the room is the laziest.

  • Oh my Lord, how incongruous is the music bed? Once you’re in the rhythm of a Kitchen Nightmares, you forget, but coming into a segment cold, it’s weird to hear the score from a tense, gripping thriller from 1988 underscoring chicken blood in a sink.

  • “I’m really disappointed with the chef’s food”
    What do you expect when you won’t let him choose his own menu and all he has to work with is shitty frozen garbage, you dumbshit?

  • what is wrong with the audio? it’s pitched up or slightly distorted. is youtube copyright really so totalitarian that people who own the show can’t even post it without changing something to get striked?

  • watching this at 2 in the morning while eating noodles with Thai curry tuna from the can, it may sound wrong and yet it tastes so right

  • Oh boo fucking hoo. Get off your ass. Buy fresh food, serve fresh food. Wake up tomorrow. Do it all again. Problem solved cry baby!!! Happy customers, no killing people, and money money money

  • 2:52 “There’s enough chimichangas here to last me a lifetime”

    (Deadpool has entered the chat)

    “Oh, I think we can put that claim to the test.”

  • My favorite was the lean cuisine one because I’m alllll about some chicken!!! While this isn’t a hack…I just watched your episode of Swapped, Erin, and I wanna see you make the pesto lasagna that you had Sinead make!!!

  • These “restaurant” owners genuinely don’t understand that fresh means “never frozen”. I think that they think that fresh means “not rotten”.

  • Totally off topic of this video. Erin, what kind of shampoo do you use for your red hair? Red fades super quick for me. Even with the expensive color shampoos

  • “I’m really disappointed with the chef’s food”
    What do you expect when you won’t let him choose his own menu and all he has to work with is shitty frozen garbage, you dumbshit?

  • She served frozen crap while catering?

    Let’s say the event to cater isn’t something important like a wedding, birthday or funeral… a host who is paying a caterer would still want to impress their guests..

    This lady is stupid.

  • My first job was on a kfc….we recibe chicken every day, had only for use 3 day raw, 1 day marined…how is that my job on a fast food in third world country is better with the managment of food that a RESTAURANT.

  • If you pause and read the article you can tell that Ramsay/the network already knew about this before she told him. Not a criticism, show is still great, just an interesting note of how reality tv is made.

  • I gave this video a thumbs up because I really like the hosts and the idea, but I have to say watching people that don’t know how to cook try to do a cooking show (un-ironically) is kind of frustrating to watch. Bring back Cheat Day! That was the place for this kind of content.

  • i think i get the problem…..they playing with semantics…..we bought it fresh….but what happens to it afterwards is none of your business…….we just cooked it so it was freshly cooked, but what happens before we cook is none of your business….. we just prepared it so it is freshly made, but the fact that it was in the microwave before it got to you means nothing…… this should be illegal and there should be higher standards……

  • When she said these meals don’t have much seasoning all i could think of is nooooooo these meals are loaded with salt, sugar and fat.

  • I’ve really been into experimental cooking lately so this sounds so fun! DEf gonna need that book tho lolI’m notorious for using frozen foods so I’m eager to see what other ideas are in there!
    I REALLY love the ramen hack!:D I’ve fallen out of the habit for a while but I used to make ramen and leave out the spice packet and instead, once the noodles are drained, slap them into a bowl and pour a prefferred amount of cambel’s Beefy Mushroom soup on it, then add some sauted mushrooms on top! I uh, forgot what kind of mushrooms they are tho, but I know they’re big and brown and sometimes referred to as a poor mans meat??? Either way, its super good.
    The tater tot one looks really good too! Damn ya’ll I’m making plans after this episode!

  • love this, but can you not say these hacks are for lazy people? some of us cant cook because we dont have the means, have really busy work days, family life or when we do find the time to cook, are so tired from the day that we just want something quick and simple.

  • I’m actually surprised with how this show is turnin’, when you said on the first episode u would be all w/ experts and stuff I was skeptical, thinking u would bring ppl rlly bad in cooking just to have a fun day trying to make food; but it all ended up being so informational, and the guests are great, I’ve never felt so good about getting the wrong idea about something

  • When she said these meals don’t have much seasoning all i could think of is nooooooo these meals are loaded with salt, sugar and fat.

  • Ok so, for those who love soft boiled eggs in their ramen (like me!) you plop those eggs into boiling water and cook for 6.5 minutes then ice bath them. Turn out perfectly cooked every time <3
    Also, add a bit of fat to your ramen, like chili oil or butter, it elevates the flavour and fills you up more. (then there is also adding veggies, like frozen onions and baby carrots for those who don’t have much time)

  • 2:57 ( to be read in David Attenboroughs voice) And here we see the wild Ramsay raising up on his hind legs in a show of dominance over the tiny female restaurant owner. Who apon seeing this impressive display will re think her statement of “It came in this morning. Its fresh…”

  • I like how this owner accepts that it’s also her fault. Most owners just put all the blame on the kitchen staff, owners should be observing how the kitchen is ran regularly

  • Salt is everything. I’m sick of the “no added salt” times we live in! Give me the good old days when everything was salty & we weren’t made to feel ashamed!✊��
