I thought this guy was supposed to be a good chef.

i started doing that because he does it tbqhphamalam
>>70631225
ramsay is great. he can run an entire kitchen by himself. idk if you have ever worked in a kitchen before, it's not easy and THANK you for reminding me watch Hotel hell right now famalam
>>70631225
>I thought this guy was supposed to be a good chef.
Does he even cook anymore?
Seriously?
I don't think I've seen him cook anything for about a decade now.

depending on how big the restaurant is it can be run by one or two
I work in a bar kitchen and its basically 2 people at any time max. The most time consuming thing is the prep, during service you just finish and basically only needs one

>>70631716
obviously i wasn't boasting that Ramsay could run a 1 person kitchen by himself. i meant that he could do the job of 3 people because he is so skilled.
>>70631860
hahaha.
no one person no matter how skilled can do even the work of 2 trained workers
kitchen is labour work, you cant shortcut it

Fuck that. I don't have an active jewtube account.
I've seen some of his videos. His scrambled eggs one is the first that pops to mine. It's barely eggs though, I reckon my scrambled eggs method is better though taking on and off the heat constantly was a fantastic tip.
>>70631954
i guess a better way of saying it is: Ramsay has the skill of at least 3 average chefs.
>>70631225
Sounds like he had a mom, then.
>>70632034
Yes, the pasta, or rice, absorbs it, and as long as it's not a rolling boil there's no problem with it.
>>70632034
Hell, now that I'm thinking about it, as long as you don't have hot oil and drop water into it, you're fine.
The reason there's an explosion and flame when you do the above is because the oil gets much hotter than the water can, water maxes out at 100C and oil can get higher than 200C. When the water hits the oil, it explosively vaporizes, causing hot oil to fly everywhere.
>>70632034
>not putting a couple drops of decent oil and some salt in pasta water
GET OUT YOU DONKEY
>>70632266
yea no, shit comparison
ramsay has fine skill, you either have it or you dont, no amount of shitty workers can produce to his standard
>>70632034
it coats the pasta with flavour.
>>70632347
>pasta
>not rolling boil
>>70631365
He cooks often enough I think. Cooked in every episode of Kitchen Nightmares and every season for Hells Kitchen
>>70632034
no difference, its just habit
you literally coat the pasta in oil after you boil and strain it anyway
>>70632434
You don't need a rolling boil to make pasta you mook. Anything above simmering just makes the water evaporate faster, and leads to dumb shit like pasta sticking to the bottom of the pan because it got dried out.
>>70632510
nope.
rolling boil is the recommended method for cookign pasta
>>70631830
Yeah, so you can watch his seizure inducing videos.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBj-NriY_pQ
>>70632034
yes, the pasta doesn't clump or stick to the pot as easily, especially if you put it back into the pot ater putting away the water. ofc burgers don't know this.
>>70631365
because he's reached master levels now. all he needs to do is teach.
he'll do the occasional cooking lesson on his youtube and during his shows if shit really hits the fan he'll step in and fix shit up.
>>70631225
He is, he just doesn't understand WHY you put oil in the water. That doesn't make him a bad chef, it just doesn't make him an aspie about food science like Alton Brown or something. The oil doesn't prevent sticking, however it DOES prevent boilovers at high heat so you don't have to constantly fuck with the heat while you're working with pasta.
>>70632654
>it DOES prevent boilovers at high heat
whats the science behind this

It fucks with the surface tension of the water.

I know that there's a bunch of bullshit going on in the UK (TV license, your main news channel being owned by the government), but God fucking damn I would KILL to get your TV in the states.
>>70632696
For more clarity, the boiling pasta releases a bunch of starch into the water, which creates all the foam. Adding oil to the water creates a barrier that stops the foam from building up to boil over.
Chef here. You salt the water, oil the finished product, if desired. Never the other way around.
>>70632768

Probably, but I take no responsibility for how fucking awful it tastes when you're done cooking it.

I was waiting for this reply, good show chap
>>70632619
This guy knows what's up. You do it to avoid the pasta clumping in and out of the pot.
>>70633635
But that's not what it does though. It physically can't, as it's floating at the top the whole time.
>>70631954
>implying
Cooking is literally all about short cutting and multitasking
Get back to me when you've worked for t.k.

You salt the water to bring out the flavor of the wheat. You don't oil the water because it masks that flavor. You then oil and/or butter the pan after cooking and draining the pasta to prevent clumping on serving. Oil on cooked pasta enriches the flavor, oil while cooking it masks the flavor and can also give you an uneven cooking temp. People who swear by oil in the water are cooking the pasta at too high a temperature. You boil the salted water then add pasta THEN turn the heat down for a gentle, even boil.

>>70635062
Once again, enough oil to prevent boil over should have literally zero impact on the finished product. The oil will always be floating above the water doing its job, which is to break the surface tension of the water and prevent a biol over. It leaves during the pour, leaving you to do what you will after the fact. Note that un-oiled pasta will still stick over time, even in oiled water.

Nothing crazy, either gator or octopus. Weirdest I've broken down from whole would probably be goat.
I have a friend that got work with lion and zebra once. He said it was aight, not great.
>>70635417
I would have sprayed water on the cooking surface and placed a pan over the sandwich to prevent it from being too dry and facilitate the melting of the cheese.

aww shit man I know you probably don't care but my dad lived in the countryside as a kid and he had to decapitate a goat once (I think he was 14 or something), he said the goat knew it was about to get killed and made a weird cry-like noise for 20 minutes
How's alligator? I've seen some alligator meat in a supermarket here but I've never tried it, is it true that it tastes like chicken?
>>70635487
What if you used two big slices of butter instead of bread
The choices are only limited by your appetite
>>70635535
it tastes like a mix of fish and chicken
same with frog
>>70635487
Nah the water would have fucked it up. I do use two pans and butter for melts, for the reasons you stated. I don't get what this guy's cooking on though. He has an open faced griddle in his house?
>>70635402
You're telling me that you think Gordon Ramsey couldn't work twice as fast as some schmuck from an upscale chain like katz?
Fuck dude, I know I could and have worked faster than certain dumb cunts in the industry, and not for lack of trying on their part.
>>70635592
its a movie about a chef.
he has prefessional kitchen in his house
>>70635558
I wouldn't want the butter flavor to overpower everything else. Melted cheese, moist bread, and crunchy crust are important to the perfect grilled cheese. Lightly butter the bread, wet the cooking surface and cover the sandwich to achieve this.
>>70635609
Twice as fast**
>>70635609
those guys just dont try
also why are you comparing some casual labour shits to pros?
sure i can cook 5 times as fast as 5 year old, but if youre talking about experienced staff in a restaurant, they all have basic skill levels and no one person can do double the workload of another in the same time, ever
>>70635627
Use light oil on a cured pan, nothing on the bread
Butter is overkill
>>70635714
butter gives the flavour
>>70635535
Yeah animals are really intuitive, you absolutely have to "hide the knife" so to speak to do it humanely. Panic hormones can also ruine the meat, or so I'm told.
Gator is very similar to chicken, but it's got a slightly different texture. It's a bit chewer too.
>>70635736
Then add a little in the pan for flavor, it'll evaporate faster so trail and error
Nothing on the bread.

>>70635871
I won't, because I'm not an idiot and spray it on the food I'm cooking. You spray a little around the food then cover it so the water vapor can do its job. The butter takes care of the rest, plus adds flavor as intended.

All of these people are wrong.
The oil floats on top of the water, just like any other time in the history of ever that oil and water are added together.
What the oil does is help prevent boilovers by keeping starchy bubbles from stacking on top of themselves.
It doesn't soak into the pasta while it's in water. It doesn't lubricate the pasta.
It floats on top.
>>70636089
Right into your clogged up arteries fatboy
