About Yan Can Cook:
After receiving his formal restaurant training in Hong Kong, Chef Martin Yan immigrated to Calgary, Canada where he was asked to appear in a daytime news program to demonstrate Chinese cooking. The rest, as they say, is television history. In 1978, he launched the groundbreaking Chinese cooking series ‘Yan Can Cook’ on public television. Infused with Martin’s signature humor and energy, Yan Can Cook has gone on to become a global phenomenon and has won multiple James Beard Awards.

Martin is funny but Steven yan is hilarious.
I'm surprised how often he got away with saying damn on TV back then
High carbon stainless steel
Ohh my childhood! 😭
Ni dia masih muda siol!
I've been a chef for 35 years. I love my German made chef's knife, but I've used a Japanese (almost identical) vegetable cleaver for years. It is the best all-purpose knife.
And I was glad to hear the high carbon comment. Today, with all these hipsters insisting on reinventing the wheel by promoting the Japanese low to no carbon, people are wasting hundreds of dollars chipping and replacing the brittle knives. They even go so far as to say the carbon makes the blade brittle. This is false. High carbon stainless allows for a tougher blade that can be sharpened easily and will not discolor dark fish or lettuce. If your knife is brittle, you bought poor quality. I don't care how much you paid or the name on the blade, from Henckels to Shun they make gold and they also make garbage. So do some homework.
Thank you so much for these uploads!! I've been waiting literally decades to have the chance to watch this show again!
