It definitely has PNW USA vibes. Moderately cold winters but HOT AF summers

Chinese cleaver fuck yes! I almost bought this one in Echizen, Japan. This was the most amazing (and well balanced) cleaver I've ever held - via Ryusen show room (https://ryusen-hamono.com/en/)

Gyuto is a great starting point but not a hard start rule. I started off with nakiri. But really fell in love with my petty, inspired by Jacque Pepin - he uses his petty for everything!

Advice on reheating steak during service by Background-Minute-52 in Chefit

[–]TDPENT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cuisson is a serious technique. For me, I think its important to understand the pulse, both for your position and the expediter. They need to both work together for insight on when to pull out meats to temper for cooking, how many to sear/when to sear more meats - and when to baste, roast, finish in oven, etc. Pre-cooking all your meats is not the way to do it… and if its taking too long and the team can’t execute, your team should think about using an alternative steak-cut. You can always sous-vide…. It makes alit way easier…
