    I cook my steak for 7 days generally, so 24 hours is a breeze. One time I put my steak in the oven at room temperature and left the oven door open so it wouldn't overcook and then went on a holiday for 3 months and by the time I came back , the steak was ready to eat... It was amazing! Although I spent the next week in hospital with food poisoning because I forgot to wash my potatoes...

    I ordered a coffee in the Fat Duck, Hestons place. They let loose a rare bat, it flew around the restaurant until it was shot with a lazer pistol by the head chef. They then extracted the coffee beans from the bats intestines & ground it with a piece of stone which was apparently part of stone henge. I didn’t ask for milk I hate to think what would have occurred.

    I actually came here from the fish and chips video to carry on with my science lesson

    24 hours is nothing, when I was eight my dad put a steak on top of the washing machine, turned a 40 degrees cycle on and said “that’ll be ready for your 21st birthday, son”

    Back in my day we used to cook our steaks for a whole year

    I'd been looking for ways to cut down on my energy costs recently and knowing I only have to have the oven on for 24 hours for this dish will really help! Thanks Heston!
  • @Tom-pi8ki
    “The temperature of the oven is critical” Leaves the oven door open for ages to tell us about how critical it is
  • Heston’s revised recipe involves extracting all of the juice from the meat and cooking it separately for two weeks in the Large Hadron Collider, so as not to lose a single drop before reinserting into the separately cooked flesh.
  • This is indeed the juiciest, tenderest, most flavorsome steak I've never tasted

    I'm gonna cook one of Heston's creations for Sunday lunch - I'm going to start Thursday morning....
  • @Z1BABOUINOS
    ...and for our next dish, we will use the Large Hadron Collider! We'll need: a ticket to Geneva, 3 electron microscopes, a rectal thermometer, and an egg. Yes! It's boiled egg ala' Geneviève scientifique! Extraordinaire! *smooch!* _
  • On a serious note .... In his shows I love the comments section.... Goodness They are hilarious 😂😂😂
  • Next time, try using a welding torch to join the pieces together. You'll end up with the juiciest, tenderest whole cow. Just imagine
  • @stidumaron
    @geektoro correct, mate. that is exactly my wiew. and instead of a propane burner use some beech wood and just a little juniper at the end, and savour the difference....
