      That's how you will learn it in big gastronomics sadly. So yeah, don't do that at home. The simple reason for that is the time/work ratio. You can't be bothered whit it when you have no staff, but a full restaurant and people are waiting.

    Main man gets my respect right away, knowing how to get your board safe is the key first step to effectiveness. Claw technique is on point as well, not that anyone has any reason to respect what I say of course. This is a fine primer and should be shared to novices.

    • @rooky3526
      @rooky3526 4 ปีที่แล้ว +98

      How are you holding your knife then? I agree that the pinch grip is the best for new cooks but it's not necessarily the end all be all as most chefs on youtube are claiming. Gordon Ramsay, Jacques Pepin and other french chefs rock chop with a hammer grip (all fingers are gripping the handle) pinching the part of the handle nearest to the blade but not the blade itself (depends on the design of the knife as well, sometimes the knife is designed where you are forced into a pinch grip on the blade). Japanese sushi chefs would always use a finger pointing grip (index finger is laid on the spine of the blade) since it gives the best tip control and it aids in making those long drawing cuts on tuna and sometimes that grip translates to other veggies for the sushi chef as well. Chinese chefs use a chinese cleaver and they would sometimes hold it with a varation on the pinch grip with their index finger fully extended and pointing slightly down and placed on the side of the cleaver while the thumb is pinching the other side. There are also butchers that would break apart whole animals by using an ice pick grip. Now I'm not an expert, this just comes off as observation after all, but I've seen numerous chefs on youtube food prep like machines and they're not all using pinch grips. My takeaway, use a grip that you're most comfortable with. If you found the pinch grip the most comfortable, cool go with that....I'm just saying that other grips aren't wrong.

    Watched this while eating with chopsticks.
    My mother was one of those people who had never been taught or refused to learn how to use the appropriate knife. She'd use a flubbing paring knife to chop things and wonder why people complained about having such large pieces in the food. She also had the nasty habit of talking on the phone while cooking, preparing. One Saturday while home I walked into the kitchen and saw her on the phone, trying to cook and chop vegetables into the pan, pot. You know, the trinity: onion, celery, carrots plus bell pepper. Since I was bored I grabbed a cutting board, chef's knife and got busy. I did this every weekend until I started driving for a living and then when I was home weekends. I always did more than what she used/needed and put the rest in Zip-lock bags. They then went into the freezer on the door. Needless to say she appreciated not having to do her own chopping. She didn't grow up cooking. My dad started teaching her how to cook after they were married. His mother cooked for a living and taught him and started teaching my siblings and I when we were in elementary school. I also picked up some things from the cooks I knew on active duty and liked to eat in mom & pop restaurants, street venders when assigned overseas.

    • @JohnSaccoccio
      @JohnSaccoccio 4 ปีที่แล้ว +17

      Using a glass cutting board destroys a finely honed blade. If it slides off or crushes the skin of a pepper or tomato, it's functionally useless. I loathe dull knives almost as much as cooks who say they can caramelize shallots in 10 minutes. As a W2 wage slave, at the prices of ripe tomatoes and bell peppers, I'd never throw that much of it away.

      @@1202jrock ceramic are actually the worst in long term use because it is almost impossible to resharpem them after they got dull and ceramic is so hard that it loses its flexibility and therefore it will break in so called micro chips on the edge (picture it like microscopic pieces broken out of the edge which will rip everything apart)
      So best for the normal usage is a stainless steel knife with a hardness of about 58+-1 Hrc (thats the hardness and it says a little bit about the wear resistance) those are normally about 70-120$/€
      For the advanced hobby cook a harder blade out of quality steel is recommended and it's not bad if you use a not stainless steel for the blade (those carbon steels are mostly a bit more robust but not as hard as stainless knives)
      The steels you should look out for are e.g RWL34, AEB-L, 1.2519, O2 and many more mostly used by custom knive makers
      But those cost about 200+ $/€
      And if you want to be really fancy you can buy a Damascus knive which is a nice optical appearance but not in every case because mostly it is done for design and fancy looks
      Just ask me if there are any questions left ;)
