 | Hello Mel, Iโm in Louisiana. I cook the yellow plantains in butter and sweeten them with nutmeg and brown sugar. They cook in a buttery sweet sauce , then I add rum and serve them over vanilla ice cream. Thanks for sharing! Comment from : Novel Maker |

 | This is exactly why I'm so careful of whom I eat from. Lady there's something called parchment paper. Then she's going to go wash the towel with detergent for next time Comment from : Guycan Gold |
 | Thanks for sharing Mel. I definitely subscribed. I can't wait to cook plantains for the first time. Comment from : Tina Butterfly |
| Thanks for the video. And also thanks to the commenters. I have learned a lot here. One thing I learned from watching some Puerto Rican friends cook plantains, is that they soaked their sliced plantains in salt water first to extract the starch out. Much like how I soak rice or dry pasta first to get the excess starch out before I cook it. Comment from : Tina Butterfly |
 | YOU COULD SAVE THE PLANTAINS SKIN AND USE IT TO PRESS THE PLANTAINS INSTEAD OF USEING A TOWEL. THAT'S THE BEST WAY PRESSING THE PLANTAINS IN THE SKIN THE. RESULT IS PERFECT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE PLANTAINS STICKING TO THE SKIN ; LIKE IT DO ON THE TOWEL. THE TOWEL IS A NO! ....NO!! Comment from : June Reid |

 | Hi Mel, nice to meet you and your channel. As anglo-jamaican who loves to EAT but ain't gr8 at the cooking, this is really good for me. However, can you not skip steps, ie.. From green plantain to peeled plantain, how did that happen? What's ur technique or advice? If you have another clip which shows these kinda skills, please add a link. Also what is the significance of flattening the plantain? And, I don't mean to be predantic, but you can't cut a plantain in 3 halves, it must be thirds. I understood what you meant, but just for clarity. Comment from : Roberta Lawson |
 | This is the most stupid way I ever saw plantain is being fried. Comment from : Navindra Lall |
 | I have fried plantains often when my mother had her stroke... What does slight cooking and the flattening of the plantains do specifically that's different than just cooking then until golden brown? I'm a total newb when it comes to cooking... So this is a newb inquiry... Thanks Comment from : Rommel Bautista |
