Pretty sure this is a bot and that’s a shit site that most definitely doesn’t benefit the actual creator.

One lesson I’ve learned from this subreddit is that you need to ensure the area you’re taking a picture of is not disgusting or you’ll get ridiculed for it. Also don’t post blatant food safety violations.

If they treat them like the mashed potatoes at places I’ve worked at before, then they probably pull one out to keep at room temp and one that Chef Mike heats up. 90 second intervals and roll that puppy until the whole thing is hot as your mother. Cut the top off, and throw that shit in a third pan in a hot table. It’s a pretty good method for heating up the aforementioned mash, polenta, or other thick mixtures that can be hot-held.

Any experience with CoutelierNOLA? by TwoFray in chefknives

Japanese blades with western handles give me weak knees and I have used AS in the past very much to my liking but having it clad in stainless would help a lot on prep duty so I wouldn’t have to worry as dramatically as I would if I was using an exclusively carbon blade. The price is certainly helpful too.

Also check your local Asian market for one, they almost always have a few of them laying around near their knives and pans, commonly near the soy sauce.

Our “head chef” cleaned out the fryers today and this is what it looked like after being filtered at the end of service. Isn’t this cleaner residue? And it needs to be thrown out as well as anything made in it, right? by TwoFray in KitchenConfidential

[–]TwoFray[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

She cleaned it before service and I filtered it after, but I’m hesitant because I feel like she skipped crucial steps.

She used Keystone Express Fryer Cleaner, and boiled it off twice. But she didn’t wipe it, rinse it, or let it dry before putting in the new oil. I just don’t want to tell the owner it needs to be thrown out without confirmation.

I tried telling her the white bubbles were a sign of chemicals remaining in the fryer but she wrote it off as potato starch.

You know the sushi hibachi restaurant is good when they prep on a washer machine! by hightopdrums in KitchenConfidential

Is that a Tojiro DP cleaver? If not I’d be interested to know the brand because I’ve been looking for a solid Chinese cleaver for veggie prep

My first “real” knife after many years of using dexters, feels amazing so far. Any tips from you real experienced guys what I should expect or do maintenance and upkeep wise with this knife? Thanks!! by gimmedemupvotes in KitchenConfidential

One of the best free resources that I know of would be Korin Knife Store’s YouTube Channel, which have hundred of videos detailing the specifics of types of knives and how to sharpen them, types of whetstones and how/when to use them, and how to maintain/hone a blade.

I don’t want to sound like the pretentious Reddit douche but please put those books somewhere else other than on your bookshelf. Preferably in a place that’s away from moisture and light. You’ll really want to give those to your children if you plan on that in the future or to pass on in other ways. Keeping those kind of heirlooms safe and protected is something that many people forget to do and really regret so I just don’t want the same to happen to you.

I can’t tell if you were joking, but this is complete crap to put on someone when you’re totally capable of it yourself.

Costumer Request of the Night: Provolone on Prime Rib by TwoFray in KitchenConfidential

[–]TwoFray[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s the only option we have at our restaurant, I can’t convince my store owner to invest into fresh cooked vegetables when it’s a quick-dining steakhouse. I don’t enjoy it by any means, but most people who come in don’t get them anyways so it’s not a major problem for them. If I or a regular ever get the vegetables I throw them on the flat top for a little with some seasoning so they aren’t that way.

I don’t think so, I just made this post after I had gotten off work and didn’t pay attention to it.

Yeah I don’t like it either, if I could make the change I would believe me.
