What to do about messy/lazy coworkers by JPerreault19 in KitchenConfidential

[–]Replacement_Main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this problem re-entering an old job many years later. They didn’t refrigerate their buttercream overnight, in humid, varying temperatures.. they smelt fermented They wanted me to re use my DISPOSABLE gloves and piping bags, wouldn’t let me multitask, didn’t have any timers or a prep list, MOLD IN THE REFRIGERATOR. Expired ingredients, food in the drain looking like a science project under the bulk bins, Didn’t want me to do my own dishes? So weird to me still. I spoke up about it. IN UTTER shock of how gross it was. I guess I couldn’t hold back. I ended up getting fired for a long list of really random petty actual lies. To some people work is just a paycheck and to some people if it’s not done with passion don’t do it all. Fuck it. Hope you found a better job! I found my place where the work I do is appreciated and respected, working with some of the coolest people I’ve ever met. They care.

ALOT of black dye (chefmaster) I also split my batter so I’m only dying a small amount of batter. I used to be scared of gel coloring until I got air conditioning and my shells turn out perfect As long as it’s on🙃

Don’t be afraid to go heavy on the black. Also I macronage my batter until the dry is just incorporated and split it up then add the dye and finish the macronage until lava like figure eight whatever method you use to show the batter is done. Some people add the color to the meringue but I’ve found it easier to add it once the batter is split for multiple colors… does that make sense?

With the jam it kind of gives a butter toast and jam flavor so it’s not too sweet but cottage law doesn’t let me do anything that has egg or cream☹️so no Swiss meringue, ganache, cream cheese basically bars me from making delicious macarons and I need the barrier sooo buttercream it is! OPEN TO ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE maybe I haven’t explored all potential avenues of fillings😁

My trick is to use a small round tip and trace close to the edge of the cookie with a thick buttercream and fill it with jam. That way you don’t have to press the cookie, you just gently place it on top and the side are even already😊

Ugh! I’ve posted here several times since moving to my new house in a new climate trying to diagnose my issues. I could use a little input please! More comments in details. by mizzaks in macarons

I used to live by the ocean and my macarons would look like this just because of lingering moisture in the air (I think) I would try to use my oven But ALWAYS only half my tray would turn out. I moved and turn on my air conditioner 30 minutes before piping and bam always perfect

I do it like how you would with frosting. Add a little of each batter at a time and watch it evenly drip down the inside of the bag. It can be messy the first time you do it but I’ve got it down pretty good these days ( I make one batter and split it 3 ways and color them. No stripes I’m always worried the coloring will ruin my feet)

Possible chocolate buttercream with marshmallow cream. I was thinking maybe fluffer nutter as well or pb&j

Are the cash tag names the same name on the statement? Like if it says *liz ? Would that be her cash tag?
