That's normally the opinion of some asswipe who sits in their parents basement, who knows nothing about the real world and has never stepped foot in a restaurant that is owned or employs a Chef.

I like a good beef florentine sometimes, but I prefer my meat redder and can't balance that and getting my spinache cooked enough. Any suggestions?

>>715726097
Most veggies hold up
I agree with the potato comment, potatoes reheat way better in the oven if you have the time

>>715725722
Are you the OP? This just proves my point that y'all retarded and think that your housewife skills are cool and important. I was a sous up until couple years ago when I just gave up working with fuckers full of themselves, not having a gram of understanding about business, customers or anything else outside your little kitchen. Just get the food to pass and fuck the rest. I'm a restaurant supervisor now, and I still see the same shit from you stove monkeys. Fuck you and your knowledge

Going to chef school doesn't make you a chef.
I've been working in a kitchen for 9 years, trained by some of the best and I still consider myself a cook.
A chef is someone that has completely mastered cooking and run their own kitchen.

So my question was more about, what chefs have you trained under and for how long?
What kind of restaurant are you a chef at? How many people do you have under you cooking for you?

Favorite dish to eat? Favorite dish to prepare?

>>715726341
I put my steak/chicken on top of my cheddar/Mexican blend, I add my buffalo sauce/Tabasco and crushed red pepper in my half folded shell and lay it in a pan but I know there must be better ways to cook it.

Best way to prepare labia. I was thinking Sushi rolls...

first off Chef/op here and nice double dubs
checked.
I'm sorry to hear you have worked with some asshole chefs, but there are asshole in every business in every country. You, yourself also seem like an asshole because you are generalizing all the Chefs, everywhere. How you ever got a managers job in a restaurant is beyond me. I would fire your bony ass in a fucking minute. Now, GTFO!!!

>>715724603
Would you like to share some videos you know to learn more techniques? I'm a cook and I finished cooking school at jamies oliver's fifteen in Amsterdam this october. I had a Canadian chef too but he got fired after a month. Could have learned a lot English terms too. How old are you? Now im currently working in " Het Rijks" in Amsterdam. You'd like it I think.

>>715724824
Another chef here, I sample nearly every dish I make for "testing the flavor", but really I wanna dip my hands in somones food they pay for and eat, I get hungry being in a kitchen

>>715726432

>>715726470
I'll get back to you....don't go away

>>715726830

right now real basic comfort food, Shepherd's pie, lasagna, slow cooked roasts....all good

>>715726763
If you're OP then you're an arrogant fucking shitstain with an over-inflated sense of your own worth.
If not OP - good bait.

chef here. you either own your own restaurant or work in healthcare, because FUCK working someone else.

>>715724603
Ive got some old potatoes, they are pretty old and got soft on the outside.
Can I still eat them if I peel away all the soft stuff?

Shepherd's pie, lasagna

and this fagot paid for chef school?

>>715728024
Not OP but yes. Try also green potatoes. They're the best!

I started off working in pubs clearing tables and cleaning pots and pans
from there prepped salads, and started cooking. After a few years I decided I wanted to pursue this and went to Stratford
when I graduated worked as a cook for 2 year locally saving money so I could go to europe. Got a job in one of Pepin's restaurants in Paris for just under a year, then worked for a year in Rome's est Artigiani del gusto before returning home for a stint at Sooke Harbour House in B.C and now where I work.

OP chef, do you do this?

>>715726873
on a flat oven pan
oven at 375f
you can fold in 1/2 and do 2
or shell top and bottom
cover in tin foil
in for about 20 minutes
should be good

>>715727224
I'm actually super nice, at work. Im blowing off steam here. Generalising chefs is fine, reason being most of you dont seem to appreciate the work put in front of house and disregard waiters. I didn't think much of service, but once I moved, realised that there's whole lot more involved than you'd think, particularly if the house is tied to a hotel.
Well, each to their own.

>>715727354
I have eaten there and yes it was very good.
anything by Pepin or Julia Child awesome teachers

>>715727952
no. I'm OP and we don't offer that condiment in our restaurant . How does that make me an arrogant shitstain with an over-inflated sense of my own worth. You need to take a deep breath then come up for air.

>>715728571
Damn I tried them in the oven, thought there was a better options ok, thanks.

>>715728006
op here..........we this was a pretty good offer from an industry leader when he bought the restaurant...it's worked out well. I love it

>>715728024
yes...one of the most resilient foods on the planet
if they are discolouring on the inside they are over..if they are getting a bit soft, makes a great mashed potato dish

also what are food items you have to try before you die iyo?

>>715728468
op here....all i can say is wow, sorry

>>715728490
I'm the head chef, so I don't sample a lot, I trust the other chefs to do that. But if something looks awesome I have to put a spoon in there and take a taste.

>>715729881
youre too trusting, but tasting and whatnot is expo's job. as chef, i like to go in and unfuck shit up before its too late...

>>715729213
did you cover them?
The other thing is have your filling pipping hot then steam your shells like a hot dog bun b4 doing the roll up
good luck

>>715729881
Well in my kitchen its just the head chef, me, the sous chef, and some other chef. We normally make too much to go on the plate, I actually hope some falls out of the pan on to the table, like when a fat shrimp falls off of the plate on the table it is like winning the food lottery

If i see a dish come back believe me, I want to know why and I will be all over the chef that put it out to find out why. You need to have the trust and respect of your whole team. The manager, the servers, the prep, the sous, the chefs....everyone.

>>715730723
to be honest, I am just learning the technique and I'm really fascinated by it.

There are quite a few chefs in this thread, how long have you been working as a chef?

>>715724824
no and any person that doesnt is a fucking retard

you dont get a slap on the wrist for putting pubes etc in somebodies food, you get put in jail for fucking poisoning their food

it is called food tampering and you can be put away for decades

>>715726655
Cry baby little bitch. You belong in foh with all the whiny little fucking retards. Is there gluten is mashed potatoes? And what about cheese? What about the rice? Is this good for a vegan? They want their steak well but still juicy. shit your probably the asshole manager who tells at the cooks for making a "burnt" well done prime rib. Get over yourself. You think you can d it yourself then shut the fuck up and do it little bitch.

>>715731067
This, it isnt like the movies. If a customer is a cunt hand hands his perfect food back to me I have to make it again with all my burning hate, but I dont tamper with it, I make food how I would like to get the food

What is something simple and healthy I can bring to work and eat every day until I get tired of it? Currently doing potpies(cook at home, rewarm at work) and frozen birds eye veggies

Potatoes contain starch, but some of it becomes so called resistant starch, when cooled in a fridge. Resistant starch cannot be processed by human enzymes and are a kind of dietary fiber.

>>715731396
Not op but a really good cook or kitchen manager ..Kale is a cheap super veg salads are cheap and easy. It really only gets expensive when it comes to buying meat, I would suggest bulk frozen chicken and ground beef as good staples for a lot of different dishes. Just depends on your skill of cooking

>>715731067
I worked as a server for Red Lobster for a couple years while I was in college. There was a girl there that, and I shit you not on a stack of bibles, if you pissed her off she would add urine to your scampi butter sauce. I have personally witnessed her do this dozens of times.

Should toppings go on before or after cheese.
Your stance?

>>715731030
4 months, been in the game a decade though. It's an experience every day to say the least.

>>715724603

I'm op asking a student way back in the thread if he was still around because i put him on hold for a bit
he was asking for some cheap recipes for starving students

>>715731396
Not op, but chef here, depending on your budget, you can make some pretty tasty ramen soups, with onions, mushrooms, garlic, spinach, peppers, green onions, an egg and some cheap ramen. Salad is cheap as fuck, and if you go to the right places like farmers markets you can get vegetables very cheap.

(one way I make egg for ramen is I crack it in some boiling water and let it cook there, it goes in to perfect tiny strands, then you drain the water and add it in your ramen)

I could make a gourmet meal with canned and frozen ingredients if it came to it

>>715731725
Mix it up and go half and half and tell the two arguing to shut the fuck up. You'll be amazed how far you will go with thoughts like those

May as well throw it in a fire.

Chicken only needs 60C for 15 minutes.

>>715732249
You're a dumb ass and have fun shitting your soul out.

>>715731725
op here
i leave pizza to the expert pizza cooks
but here is my take on this great question
some toppings ie: pepperoni just need to heat up
things like broccoli or mushrooms burn if on top
so put them under the cheese
more dense veggies like peppers on top because they need to cook
pineapple....only girls and faggots want pineapple on a pizza so who gives a shit

>>715731832
couscous its extremely versatile and under utilized.

>>715730880
I threw up in my mouth a little bit.

>>715732779
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees, season the meat with some salt and rosemary, or even marinade it in a spicy barbecue sauce for a couple days. Be sure to tie its arms and legs above it, like what most birds have done. Once in the oven, leave it in there for 40 mins total, and every 10 mins take it out to pour some very weak salt water (or whatever seasoning you want in water) over the baby. After 50 mins of cooking, take it out and allow it to cool for a while. That is how I prepare my fresh babys anyway, I like to stuff it wit stuffing sometimes depending on what I am doing with it.

>>715732090
you couldn't afford to eat in the restaurant I work at so the issue is moot. You would be frisked at the door by the A-1 police and sent on your way. A1 is made in the USA although from an original British recipe. It is illegal here. HP is the only brown sauce allowed in the Commonwealth, and you sir, are a dirt bag. Now, on your way with that contraband, or you will be spending the weekend under Her Majesty's arrest. Good day to you sir!!!!!

I wouldn't, you need something more fruity with a seafood dish, like a cider, or some from of cocktail to compliment the pallet, like with something with lemon in it

>>715732473
Heston blumenthal did the research on it. Chicken only needs an internal temp of 60C for 15 minutes.

I wouldn't do this in the USA though where their chicken is covered in feces.
