Can I use everclear to make a vanilla extract?
I made a big jar about 2 1/2 years ago but still they don't seem to have much vanilla flavor. I even put extra beans into the jar. I have to use 2 TB of vanilla extract to my cup of coffee and I think this is a waste. I regret spending so much money on it.
I realize throwing your viewers off track my making vanilla extract shields the truth about your alcohol consumption. you don't even shave no more. You remind me of the guy who lives in the apartment above my Aunt. Thanks for the video A+ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ rating
getting some vanilla beans tomorrow … 🙂
Why don't you put the vanilla beans directly in the vodka bottle please ? ❤❤❤
Can't you just put the beans directly in the vodka bottle?
I've watched almost all of your videos. I ordered vanilla seeds instead pods, Can I make Extract from the seeds, and what would be the ratio of seeds (teaspoons) to vodka (ozs)? Thank You. Dave in Cave Junction.
Can i start with pressure cooker and then let it slow process from there, just to speed up the process some?
I made 2 jars on 5/21, they definitely aren't as dark as yours. I am gonna add more beans. Thanks
Neutral grain alcohol like everclear works very well with no added flavors or sugars.
Can I mix Bourbon and Rum ,,,I don’t like Vodka
Anyone know if you have to use a clear bottle to make vanilla extract or can you use the blue Skyy vodka bottle?
Some of my mason jars break when I pressure cook.
He almost just had my house smelling like breaking bad
It looks like you are using grade A beans, why not grade B? The price of vanilla extract is going crazy, time to start making my own!
For fast way use a vacuum chamber 😃
I love your videos so much. You do a great job explaining everything. I have tried several of your recipes and can honestly say they turn out great every time. Keep up the great work, and keep those videos coming. Looking forward to the next one. Thank you.
Never thought this channel would suggest something so dangerous as putting alcohol under high pressure in a sealed jar. HORRIBLE advice. You’re lucky it didn’t explode. Sure, you vented it “naturally”. But you’re going to have viewers who miss that and could hurt or kill themselves. There’s a reason why Instant Pot tells people not to put alcohol under pressure. They don’t want the liability of someone getting hurt because of negligence.
DO NOT DO THE INSTANT POT METHOD, FOLKS! You’re asking for trouble.
Kept saying beans exposed when its seeds. Still love it. I appreciate the video. Thank you
Is there a way to make it without alcohol?
I have a pint sized canning jar of vanilla extract that is probably 7 to 8 years old and has seen regular use. As I use it, I top it off with vodka, and probably every 6-8 months I'll add more beans.
You should at least consider updating this video. It has some disinformation that could be costly. There is a US-FDA definition for Vanilla Extract. It is rounded off for convenience and mentioned by @AllStar34.
Technically, Vanilla Extract requires a minimum of ˜0.86 ounces of Grade B vanilla beans per each 8 ounces of alcohol (that is a minimum of 35% ABV (70ºP) and no more than 50% ABV (100ºP)), and having a moisture content of no more than 25%. Grade A vanilla beans typically have a moisture content of 30% – 40%. To compensate for this excess moisture, it requires more beans per 8 ounces of ethyl alcohol. Hence the rounding up to 1 ounce of beans per each cup by volume of alcohol. At least in order to be considered an actual pure vanilla extract. Home DIY'ers can do it any way they like as long as they don't try to sell it.
35% ABV is said to help extract more of the volatile flavor compounds and >50% ABV is said to "burn" the beans – dehydrating them without extracting all the flavor compounds.
A better and safer speed hack would be to use ultrasonics – either placing the jar in an ultrasonic bath (less efficient and less effective) or placing an ultrasonic wand (more efficient and more effective) into the vanilla bean & alcohol solution. With the best equipment, full extraction can occur in as little as 30 seconds – reportedly.
What about using an infuser? Can it be done in an infuser?
Couldn’t you just plunk the vanilla pods into the vodka bottle? No need for another bottle.
So much bad information in this video. Wrong ratios and you should not use a pressure cooker. That's dangerous and the manufacturers specifically say not to do this.
Mine is 10 years old and not as good as store bought.
Ah! I've been using the America's Test Kitchen Recipe for years (adapted it to make 1.75L at a time, which lasts me about two years). That recipe heats the vodka before adding the beans, so it only takes two weeks. When I saw one day I just had to know how you sped it up even more. Pressure! Of course! 🤦😂 Thanks!
Can I make it with out alcohol , I don’t like it .
FDA requirement for pure vanilla extract is slightly less than 1 oz by weight of beans to one cup of spirits. 1 oz by weight can be anywhere from 6 or more beans depending on their size. To do it this way you cannot count beens you must weigh them. Commercial high grade manufacturers pump the spirits through the beans for 3 to 8 weeks with no heat. At room temperature.
One month? Most takes a year to infuse.
I love you, but now I love you more!! Lol! The million uses of a pressure cooker just got better!! WOW! Thank you. Yes, you are funny, love it!
LOL…why would you use Grey Goose Vodka! This would be an application that the cheapest vodka I’d think would work!
🙏🏻🌹🙏🏻
Could you just buy a small bottle of vodka and put the vanilla beans in there ?
What temperature was the instapot at?
I thought heating alcohol decreases the grade of alcohol.
I have a lg jar & 5th bottle of vodka. They are several years old. I need to add to my 5th bottle.
You are funny! I like your show so far. New subscriber! Maybe you can inspire me in the kitchen to cook better meals for me and my hubby. 40 years of cooking can get tiresome.
Does the alcohol brunt off when you pressure cook?
I have batches of vodka, bourbon, and rum vanilla extract that are now 1.5 years old. I really love the bourbon vanilla extract it adds a beautiful complexity to anything chocolatey. When any of my bottles get low, I add more liquor and another vanilla pod or 4 then it gets moved to the back to age.😀
Which setting on the instant pot? Pressure cook or steam?
Hi Preppy Kitchen,
Loving your videos. This one is lovely and I’m going to try the one year method.
