How to calm down lobster before you kill him?


(If your answer is you rotate him or heads down or you freeze him then you are shit chef)

love potatoes

You use magic word Bitch

>chef

how long have you been cooking professionally, where did you go to school, and where do you cook now, and how much do you make?

every fry cook wants to call themself "chef" but they aren't even near that. "chef" means boss, you're not the chef unless you are in charge of SOMETHING.

You throw it in a boiling pan, duh.

Stop eating McDonalds for a year and maybe you will get your palate back

No man then he dies but my question was how to calm him down so you can place hand on him and he wont scratch yo answer is


You spit in its mouth then as spit is kinda dense he gets feel as if he is in sea and calms down.

I work in croatia fish restaurant for 20ys now do it every time works 99% od time if not spit again hh

OP here, it is the most over rated spice ever...it is very...how do I say, dainty, so the dish needs to be dainty as well. Not a robust spice, so I seldom use it.

What are some things that make you not like a specific server in your restaurant?

OP here...if I could find you, I would strangle you and find out you little pee wacker!!!!!!!!!

Exactly but it does leave rather wierd tastee as you recognise it

no that is not me

Thank you! What kind of flavour is it supposed to add to the dish?

What kind of dishes are dainty enough to bring it out?

If anything I add the milk for quantity and smoothing out the richness. That's only personal preference but when cooking in work I use a dash of cream instead with regular eggs.

are you french?

unapologetic if the dish is returned
lackadaisical on a slow day

I have a smoker. Should I bother with brisket since it's such a difficult piece or leave it to the professionals and twice the cost?

Have you seen chef?

Chef!, do you allways finish steak in an oven or is it OK to grill all the way through?

Pinch of salt whisk with fork until everything is one cook until soft and moist fake chef faggots.

Souffle, scrambled eggs....

Canadian so I speak French, but I am English

Chef please explain the French fry, how does one make crispy fries?

ya ya ya bother

finish grill outside on a barbie
always finish inside in the oven
it's all about heat control
great question btw

I work in an upscale seafood restaurant as a server. Been there for more than 6 months, but im pretty sure the head chef hates my guts. I'm used to it now, I honestly don't care anymore. But he's always talking shit about me to my gm

That is going to depend entirely on the type, cut, and thickness.

Peeling potatoes is for pussies! Real men eat the ground of where they tread.

Is this thread alive? then I got a question, how the fuck do you prepare a risotto. Everytime I do it it takes atleast 40 minutes from start to serving, And I guess most guests aren´t willing to wait that long

There's really no secret to risotto. It just takes time to cook.

Is it wrong that i add msg to everything?

Yes and thats my point, do you do it on order and let the guest wait for 40 minutes or more or what parts can be prepaired to speed up the process

Bechamel
Tomatoe
Espagnole
Hollandaise
Veloute

Depends on the restaurant I'm cooking for. If it's a casual restaurant I'll have some cooked 90% of the way so I'm just finishing the process when they order. But if I'm at a fine dining multi course type place I'll do it to order from a raw state.

What do you think of Noma food lab?

do you do any fermentation/booze making?

Best soup base?

how to make quick hollandaise sub?

Is molecular gastronomy passé?

Just free range eggs, a tablespoon of cream per egg, crumbled parmesan to mix through, get the pan smoking, hit it with oil and a pinch of salt, no more heat, add the egg and stir with either steel tongs or wooden spoon. Be very fucking quick. As soon as it starts to form up, get it out of the pan. Pan should still be clean.
