This initiative is our response to the challenges posed by navigating YouTube's sponsorship and advertising system. We are inundated with daily requests for product placements, which would require interrupting our show with advertisements such as 'This video is sponsored by XYZ Advertisers.'

To ensure that your enjoyment remains uninterrupted and uncompromised, we have chosen not to accept these sponsorships. It's important to note that the advertisements placed throughout the video by YouTube are beyond our control. Instead, we invite you to support us through the YouTube membership program, allowing us to continue creating content free from intrusive product placements. Additionally, with the comment section becoming more vibrant than ever, we receive on an average day over 1000 comments. I've introduced this membership to offer you some exclusive perks.

FRESH VS. FROZEN TURKEY!!! Hi there, friends! I just wanted to remind all of you who will be preparing a turkey for Thanksgiving! If you are cooking a "real" fresh turkey, you can buy it up to 2 or 3 days before the big day. However, if you buy a frozen turkey, you'll need to defrost it in the fridge a few days before Thanksgiving. For example, a 10 lbs. / 4.5 kg turkey will take at least 2 to 3 days to defrost, and a 20 lbs. turkey will take 6 to 7 days!!! The slower you let the turkey defrost, the moisture it will be. It takes about 6 hours per pound. Below is an article that was published by Cook's Illustrated in 2002 about the fresh vs. frozen debate. I couldn't agree with the article more, and I thought it would be good to share it with you! "When organizing our tasting, we decided to buy fresh turkeys wherever possible, assuming they would be better. But as we tallied the results of the tasting, we learned that most of our higher-ranked birds were, in fact, frozen. Our tasters consistently found the frozen birds to be moister than the fresh ones. This puzzled us until Professor Ahn explained that a "fresh" bird can actually be tougher and drier than a frozen one. Turkeys may be labeled as "fresh" if they have been chilled to as low as 26 degrees. But at this temperature, tiny ice crystals can form in the meat. If the temperature fluctuates (during storage or transport, at the supermarket, or on the way to your home), these crystals can melt, combine with neighboring crystals, and then refreeze. According to Ahn, "Eventually, irregularly shaped ice crystals will start to poke the cell membranes in the meat. They make holes, and the cell tissues in the muscles will start to lose their internal contents. Then, when they are cooked, those birds will be dry." Article from Cook's Illustrated Magazine 2002 I hope you enjoy our Thanksgiving menu this week starting this Thursday, November 16th. We'll release a new dish every day! Jack and my entire team wish you all the most wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hello There Friends, it is time to reveal our pick for the Best Comment for the Month of May 2023! This month was extremely hard to pick the best. And it became even more difficult after the Q&A video was released. That video alone received 2500 amazing comments! The comment we chose had been posted a few days ago!!! We are happy to share with you. We hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we did! Shannon Martin Chef! I love you and Jack, I just want you to know how important your videos are to me. I was never taught the basics of cooking, food was not seen as a gathering opportunity, it caused a lot of stress for my parents who were from the Great Depression. When I got married, I quickly learned I better learn how to cook - haha! I have improved in 27 years of marriage but it wasn’t until I found your videos that my passion has been reignited for cooking for friends and family. In fact, my Bible Study Group have been so impressed by how much I have improved that they have asked me to create bi-monthly menus and do the cooking for around 20 - they all bring containers to take leftovers, if there are any, I find that a very high complement. It has made me so happy and brings such Blessing and Joy to cook for them. I have found a new energy to teach my last 2 children (sons) all that I have learned as well. I am teaching them how to make menus and use basic techniques; in fact I plan to teach these basic skills to our Homeschool Co-Op and my teenagers actually WANT to be in my class!! I keep telling them that men who can cook are never lonely! I remind them the first winner of Survivor was the cook ;-) Thanks to you, I have changed our relationship with food and have even cut our grocery costs by making more items myself and making ahead/storing items for later. While some of the ingredients are certainly more expensive, I have researched to find affordable alternatives by going to different markets. However, I often do use the better ingredients because it is so much more enjoyable and the food is eaten instead of being left to die as forgotten leftovers that have to be thrown out. When I tell my friends I make my own butter or ice cream they think it is all bad for them, then they taste it and many are now making their own changes. They can’t believe good food can taste good. The ladies in our Study Group are going to do bi-monthly get together to all cook together, learn and each take home shared creations. That is called building our community and I love it. I am a Florida Native yet I have moved states, but I will come to Florida if you have a Fan Meet Up. I’d love to cook with you. Thank you all you do!! Shannon Martin Jack here 🙂 I just want to start by saying. Thank you Shannon. I know I can say that for everyone here it was a true pleasure to read your comment. It brings so much joy to me hearing that you share this knowledge that you have gained with the people around you. Building community is such an integral part of our society and you contribute so much to everyone around you! Thank you so much for being a kind and pure soul Shannon. Making the people around you happy is one of the greatest things you could ever do. When the Chef does his meetup I would be delighted to be able to talk with you and hear more about you. - Jack I am actually speechless Shannon! Thank you for taking the time so share your experience with our channel. It is comments like yours that makes it all worthwhile and it is the reason why we do this! May god bless you, your family and everyone watching our channel! Much love to all! -Chef Jean-Pierre

Hello there Friends! We're gearing up for the FIRST Q&A video, and I want to hear from YOU! If you have burning questions about our content, or food tips, now's the time to ask. We love hearing from you and answering your questions, so don't be shy! Leave your questions in the comments section below, and I'll pick the most popular ones to be featured in the upcoming Q&A video, so make sure to leave a thumbs up on the questions that you want to see in the video! Thank you so much for your continued support, and I can't wait to hear what's on your mind!

Hello There Friends! It's time for "The best comment of the month" for the month of April comes from the “Life Changing Advice” video. Steven MqCueen “Chef Jean-Pierre hits it out of the park once again. But it's not just in cooking that planning and attention to detail are important. It's critical to every facet of one's life, from work to family to mental health. And "mise en place" isn't just for cooking. Doing the prep work and getting everything ready to go makes everything you do more enjoyable and more likely to end well. The bottom line is, if you learn how to cook, then you will be better at just about everything else that you do.” Why did we choose Steven's comment?! Steven could not have said it better! “if you learn how to cook, then you will be better at just about everything else that you do”. I apply this technique in almost every aspect of my life, and I can confidently say that I have been blessed with a life that always matches my desires. Learning to be disciplined in your shopping and meal preparation can improve your life significantly. I learned this valuable lesson from my late mother and it has stayed with me ever since. From that same video about “Life Changing Advice” the comment below was written by Donald Brightwell. Just for fun! And because this comment made us all smile and we wanted to share it with you! Donald Brightwell “I looked up mise en place, ( pronounced ˌmē-ˌzäⁿ-ˈpläs ), mainly so I knew how. My family & I sat down to see how this would work. After a lot of joking around & a little name calling, ( all in fun of course ), the lists came together. Separated as described & who would pick up what & where. It worked out fairly well. Did I mention I live alone !” Thank you all so much for your kind words and your continued friendship and support! Much love to all!

Hello There Friends! It is that time again. Here is your Best Comment of the Month! THANK YOU once again! At first some folks can only afford the basics, and may only to be able to afford lower-quality items. I suggest they buy a few top-quality items, especially for tools which will be used the most. Then have a plan to progressively replace the other, inferior tools with better ones over time. In general, you get what you pay for (if you shop carefully!) Some others have said, when purchasing more expensive but better quality products, "Buy once, Cry once". - Daniel Beck Thank you for the great comment Daniel! As a matter of fact, we selected your comment as our “Best comment for the month of March”. I always told my students if you cannot afford to replace all your pots, or all your knives at the same time. Buy one every month, or whatever you can afford. Just remember to buy quality. Great quality tools will last you a lifetime; they are made with durable materials that can withstand high temperatures and heavy use. High-quality chef's knives will make chopping and slicing much easier and more efficient. The same for pots and pans, they distribute heat more evenly, which means your food will cook more evenly and won't burn as easily. Most of my pots and knives are at least 30/40 years old. And I promise you that they look and perform like new. Actually, some of them, like my enamel cast iron pots, are smoother and have performed better over the years! And Daniel ended his comment perfectly…."Buy once, Cry once”
