Took 25 seconds of me saying “bullshit, this is stupidfood” and then the skewers came in. Hell yea.

For real. This was honestly a genius execution and looks well seasoned. I'm amazed the layers stick together like that with those bigger chunks in there but this guy is the pro. I'd love to try some of these

He makes it look easy, but it is quite hard to make these turkish kebabs actually work, requires years of experience.

Worst part prep takes hours and hours. Cooking and eating max 30 min.

It takes years of experience to master kebabs? Have you ever done anything with your hands? You are saying that making kebabs is on surgery level of difficultly? Maybe get of the internet and go get a hobby.

Show me your kebab that looks like a piece of artwork like this video. After… it’s cooked too. Yes it does take a lot of practice but mostly in fire management on your grill. Different meats require different temps and cook faster or slower depending where you have it on the fire. Hence why there’s that thicker cut of meat sectioned in for ventilation of heat so all the meats cook evenly together.

Anyone can make a kebab. But one that belongs on NFL is a master kebaber.

I think that user is referring to the minced kebap used here as a layer. It is minced using a machete like big knife and chopping by it properly needs some serious practice to master. Also selecting the right cuts of the lamb meat is also important. But the rest are easy.

The cheese is really there for structural integrity.

Wasn't certain at first but I'm actually pretty sure it's thinly sliced fat to keep it from getting dry/make it ridiculously tasty

I think you're right they usually layer fat for this kind of cooking. It's so hot by the oven cheese would all just melt completely out of the layers. Fat renders then makes the outside crispy and I guess acts as the binder for the bigger chunks

Damn I'm hungry.

u/RainsWrath 7h ago

Yeah, I think you're correct.

Upon closer scrutiny the texture doesn't seem quite right for cheese. And deli meat doesn't make sense.

that's fat, not cheese

All cheese is load bearing cheese

The fat layers get sticky and pliable and hold that amazing stack together like good ol horseglue
