Heston's perfect chips – BBC

Michelin star chef Heston Blumenthal demonstrates the best way to make chips with a specially designed recipe. Fascinating food video with a scientific edge from BBC cooking show ‘In Search of Perfection’.

  2. When he says "fridge" does he, in fact, mean 'freezer? Seems to me, from what I've read….it's about the actual freezing.

  3. Heston Blumenthal single handedly revolutionized chips. Every high-end pub in the UK now serves double-fried chips. Delicious!

  4. Excellent fries and not quite the pain in the ass you think it is if you plan ahead. You can skip one step and still have good fries too. Boil then fry, or fry and fry will still improve your fries.

  5. I found it was alot easier to bring the water boil from cold with the chips in (can also use roast poatatoes), then bring down to simmer for 11 minutes until fluffy on outside, oven cook 30 minutes 220° (120g of your preferred cooking fat/oil per 1kg of potatoe) , turn twice in the last 15 minutes then finish off for 5 minutes in the deep fat frier at 190°. No cool down waiting periods…

  8. Heston is not a chef , he's actually a scientist who's hobby happens to be cooking .

  9. Utter nonsense ,,, an hour and a half for two orders of chips ,,, ridiculous and absolutely do not taste any better at all than my twenty minute twice cooked chips in pure lard.

  10. Heston is no ordinary chef! This guy is so talented I've seen some of his shows. He looks like he knows a bit about science either matriculated with high pass marks at high school or studied it further and applies this to his cooking.???????? ????

  11. Are you serious!! I sat and watched through the entire video only for you to end it without the reveal!! What an absolute Chip Block!!
