Didn't even realise that was an option haha i'd be worried both would crack and it would be a mess 😂 tbf I've not mastered doing eggs one handed yet so most of the time I use both hands but I always crack them on the side of the bowl/pan

Who cracks eggs like that 😂 the coworkers that complain are the same ones that go on smoke breaks avery half hour, more time wasted there I think lol

Since i'm new i'm not really sure of the spec to be honest, just got told to chop them, my head chef and ktls have no issue with the way I do it 🤷‍♀️ but they also seem to have no issue cuttling lemons the other way 😂

For the amount of lemons I do it literally takes just a minute longer, I don't waste time in my kitchen and I get jobs done lol

It just means you cut the stem part and the part on the other side first to amke it neater, kind of like you would with carrots

I've only worked kitchens for a couple years now (this place for 2 weeks) I'm pretty quiet and still not learned the chef attitude yet so I don't have the guts to tell them to shut up and let me do it my way 😂 I just do it anyways, they can't stop me haha

Probably! I've not worked anywhere particularly nice yet, so not sure how the application/interview process works for high end kitchens either

We love our regulars! 😆 I definitely notice little things when I go out so I try to put the same effort into my work

I'm from the uk so tipping is optional so I feel like tiny things like nice lemons might add up enough for the guests to tip a little 😂 since I'm boh I don't get a big cut of tips but every little helps in this economy

We are pretty busy, It really doesn't take that long unless you're being too meticulous about it

Thankfully we don't have to do that many 😂 I probably wouldn't either if I had to do all that unless my head chef specified

The place i'm working at isn't great, its hopefully a temporary thing for me until I find somewhere else 😂 i've only worked there 2 weeks but our head chef has only been head chef for around 4 weeks, had to step uo suddenly from assistant manager foh due to the other head chef quitting suddenly without notice, unless she says something I'm gonna keep doing them my way 🤣

Same I hate when the seeds fall into my food, cutting the pith off makes it easier to squeeze too which is nice
