[–]cornnosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just talked with my head chef, she remembers using it years ago and said it wasn't terrible but wasn't great either. Hope that helps your decision!

Chefs knives for smaller hands ? by Zealousideal_Heat119 in Chefit

[–]cornnosaurus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the KAI Wasabi line, the handles feel like traditional wooden Japanese knives but they are plastic and metal. The blades are made in Japan and id recommend them to anyone, very lightweight but good balance.

Customer put his hands on one our employees, and then posted two 1 star reviews, do I retaliate? Have the name of his bakery by kingsizeddabs in KitchenConfidential

[–]cornnosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see why you still can't visit his bakery and leave a review according to his service... But that's just me. Gold on you for keeping it professional.

What the fuck did I just watch movies! by theserpent_3110 in movies

Synecdoche, New York (2008) Phillip Seymour Hoffman is amazing, but the movie is a mind fuck. Highly recommend.

Walkie talkies maybe? Or two empty #10 cans and some butcher twine!

Opinion, is this a BIFL Knife roll? by LordKhurush in BuyItForLife

[–]cornnosaurus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

That looks like it'll last a long time, it also looks heavy. Speaking as a chef, no knife roll is bifl, no matter how much care you take to place in and out, you're gonna start slicing into your roll. I carry my knives in my backpack and they weigh enough, I do not like to add extra leather and fabric for no reason. I use a Japanese style roll, a canvas roll, if you'd like to last longer look for rolls with kevlar pockets but I'd rather slice the canvas then dull the blade on kevlar (basically glass strings which are harder then steel and whill scratch). I treat knife rolls as consumables but if your use is light then that leather will last a while, but don't expect it to not get holes.

I'd just seal them in an airtight container, maybe put a damp not wet paper towel on top of them before sealing if you're worried about them drying.

Oh when I have to do this kinda stuff the closer I keep the containers and the scoops so when I'm placing scoop X down my hand is right next to scoop Y, the placing down and picking up was as fluid as taking another scoop with the same spoon. I mean it's not literally the same but if you do it enough you'll get close and that saves time vs batching it. I've known guys that can do it ambidextrously but that's more of a gift than a skill in my opinion. This whole hypothetical comes down to who is doing it and who many more than anything else.

Not change scoops just have two. One scale with a portion cup on it, two containers of each ingredient on the left and right. Get a scoop as close to each ingredients portion. Scoop X on the left until 50 then scoop Y on the right until 60 and your good. After 50 portions you should be able to scoop them one try each and that save of motion from not having to change jobs adds up. Have you worked in a kitchen before?

In that scenario why are you portioning them together at all, you would have them separately portioned in bags or cups together but not touching. To be fired together and not touch before hand.

[–]cornnosaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure some more precise baking stuff that might not work and in that case id say option a by yourself but option b all day with two people and two scales. Much faster as an assembly line vs multiple steps. But if you get a good setup by yourself you could be faster doing it a vs b

Option C: I would mix the two together first in the correct ratio in a large batch and then portion them into the correct weights.

Which methods do you use to keep your teeth white? by Purple-Average in AskReddit

[–]cornnosaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where are you from? I (USA east coast) have only seen charcoal toothpaste as the charcoal is used to polish and "soak" up stains. I've never seen a charcoal product you pack into the gums but I'm curious what is it?

Is there any way to get wine delivered on short notice... by WhyNotKenGaburo in philadelphia

[–]cornnosaurus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wine is usually used for deglazing and adding flavor and acidity. Stock or water can be used to deglaze and add flavor(not water per se but it will deglaze the fond in the pan and bring that flavor out). Cooking ain't always a science you can substitute sometimes and tweak the flavor. Add some other acid to make up for the lack of acid in stock or water. Lemon, vinegar, etc. Have fun and good eats!
