I have a new favourite YT cooking go-to reference
I’m rather interested in the single induction hobs they use too. I’m considering buying one like this …https://www.nisbets.fr/plaque-à-induction-buffalo-3000w/ce208

Nisbets and Buffalo - an excellent combination!
I find that Nisbets service is first class and Buffalo catering equipment is extremely durable and reasonably priced.

A recent find of mine is Gerald Watelet (Belgian)… I’m choosing his simple recipes, cooked on the hob… and OH is thrilled with the tasty results so far… 
We had a very seasonal Badisch supper last night: asparagus, hollandaise, kratzete and boiled potatoes, cooked and black forest ham.
I made the hollandaise and the kratzete and cooked the asparagus and potatoes.
If you have the taste for Indo/Pak food try this geezer: https://www.youtube.com/@LatifsInspired He does trad and new Indian and BIR recipes.
By coincidence DrD, I used his excellent Naan bread recipe last night.
He starts off perfectly by putting a bowl on to digital scales then measuring 250 grams of flour. Ironically, he used an American cup measure as a scoop to do this. I was thinking this is great he is following, what I call, the GRAMatical way of passing on recipes.
It then falls apart when he adds a teaspoon of baking powder (with the bowl still on the digital scales!) – I would simply add 2 grammes.
Worse - he adds “two pinches of salt, just under half a spoon”. - I would add 3 grammes.
Again he adds two pinches of Nigella seeds – I would add 5 grammes.
He then goes on to perfectly demonstrate the problems of measuring 100 ml of liquid using a large graduated jug. Unless it is perfectly level, there is plenty of room for error and with this recipe an accurate amount of liquid is needed to get the perfect dough i.e. not too sticky, not too dry – I use 100 grams.
My technique fell apart at the end when he inverted the bubbled Naan over the open flame. I use an induction hub!!! Time to rummage in the garage for a blowtorch.
However, that said, I bet that although my measurements were much easier and unambiguous to follow, his probably tasted much better than mine (although mine were pretty good). There is no substitute for experience.ce
That’s the only reasonable use for that sort of thing!
