Hands Up Who Likes Prepping Vegetables? Hällde Makes Prepping Vegetables A Cinch

Posted by: Neil Willis | Wednesday, November 23, 2016

So does it matter if you hone your Knife Skills?

If you watch any professional on TV, they all know how to use their knives the right way.

This does not mean they’re chopping & dicing out back to prep a meal.

This wouldn't be their most efficient use of their time.

Like every trade there's a pecking order & prep work would be considered at the bottom of the totem pole.

So the good news for those just entering the commercial cooking world. Once you become a master with your knives, you'll find your spending more time doing more important jobs & the new kid on the block learning these knife skills.

They reserve cutting vegetables for entry-level cooks. Prepping Vegetables is what gets done before the "real" work in the kitchen begins. However, having good knife skills is a requirement if you want to succeed-either as a chef or as a restaurant.

Cooking Just like in Building always starts with a good foundation.

Would you trust an architect who is bad at math to design your home? Developing knife skills are the first building blocks in your culinary journey.

So you need to hone your knife skills.

But. Why does it matter, anyway?

Consistent cuts equals uniform cooking times - So if you cut vegetables into varying sizes, then they'll all cook at different rates.

There’s nothing worst than eaten a Beef Casserole where half of the carrots undercooked and the other half overcooked.

Dishes that look good taste better - We eat with our eyes. What do you prefer eating a visually appealing that's well-plated dish with a colourful range of ingredients or something that looks like a dog's breakfast?

Cutting things with flair makes all the difference.

If you're only doing a couple of portions a night, then get your knife and chopping board and get going.

If you're talking 40, 50, 60 or even a 100 portions, then that's a different story.

Prepping vegetables to the same size can become a time consuming & tedious job.

When people are left to do boring, repetitive jobs, their mind starts to wonder & accidents happen.

Now you're frantically trying to find the first aid Kit & stop the bleeding.

That’s put a dent in your production, and now your kitchen comes to a grinding halt.

It's time to take the boring headache out of prepping vegetables
