  1. Kinda turned off by using a dirty pan. Bar Keepers Friend and a little elbow grease will get the baked on oil stain off.

  2. Her: 👋👐🤲🫴🤏🫱🫵🤙🖖
    Thank you as well; this channel is always informative/entertaining/ makes me hungry and chili is great comfort food❤

  3. asking for verification: she says tsp for the measuring of seeds to toast, but it looks like a tablespoon. Asking for self! Thank you

  4. To anybody skeptical, the ingredients don't matter as much as technique, and these techniques are solid. Chef Ziata knows what she's talking about. She shared a ton of useful tips and explained the reasons throughout. Who cares if there's no guajillo pepper.

  5. I'm so confused. There wasn't any chili in the chili…. normally when i'm thinking chili powder i'm thinking the powder of actual chili peppers. Is it typical that when people mean chili powder that powder doesn't actually have the powder of chili peppers? It's actually just a bunch of other spices?!

  6. Coriander? No. I’m out. Restaurant quality is a super weird phrase since different restaurants have different recipes.

  7. Please don't say it's the best I have ever had. That really irritates me when I hear someone say that about a recipe. You Have no idea what I have had. Thanks!

  8. this has to be the worst chili i ever watched , how you even call yourself a pro Chef by doing this nonsense

  9. The idea that there are thousands or millions of "best" chili recipes is what makes chili so much fun to make and eat and discuss. And it's what makes reading the comments easily as entertaining and educational as watching the video. My suggestion… if you're gonna make a bean chili, red kidneys are probably the least satisfying choice… for one thing, the skins are too thick. I prefer a mix of smaller, thinner-skinned beans (red/black/pinto). Also, if you need a shorter cook time, a can of refried beans can add some nice thickness and flavor.

  10. It would help to have the actual recipe. Even logging into the app, I cannot find the recipe, and it does not allow me to search using the chefs name. How many servings does this make? Epicurious, get it together.
