Everyone is criticizing the guy's knife skills, but the point of this video isn't to show proper technique. It's just a fun video to show some really speedy prep. I'm sure he knows how to properly cut veggies, but watching that much prep work done properly would be boring. And in a stew like this, super uniform cuts aren't really important. Most people don't eat stew for the presentation, after all. The flavors that went into this were in point and it seems like a decent recipe. People need to calm down and just enjoy the speed-prepping.
The guy shows proper technique. He even says you need to keep blade close to your hand. I is first thing they teach in culinary school. And a sharp blade. If you have very good knife like japanese gyuto helps with keeping edge very sharp for long time.
@@MilatovichFamily No you don't get it. In this video, he goes fast but the cuts are very irregular and not like "cubes" you know. Do this and show the result to your cooking teacher, he will say the same thing. But of course, yes he knows how to hold and use a knife.
I tried cutting at this speed. It'a amazing how fast the fingers come off but it was a little more difficult by the time I got to the elbow. On the good side, the bones have very clean cuts on the end. Cheers
I knew a mad hippie chef as a teenager, who lost his finger in a blender once (it got sewn back on and he showed me scar to prove it). He was nowhere near this level of skill obviously. Was probably tripping on LSD when he had the accident with the blender. Now I've just sent him a link to this vid to teach him a thing or 2. Note - only the bit about the hippie and blender accident are known facts, the rest is just comedic licence.
It's crazy, I first saw this video when I was 12 years old or somewhere around that time in which i added it to a cooking playlist. I remember being fascinated at the speed someone could use a knife. It's been 10+ years since then, and I've since started and ended a career as a cook in the blink of an eye. Ignoring the events that led me leaving the kitchen behind in pursuit of another career, I always held onto this video as a reminder of the good old days when i was optimistic about becoming a cook. I'd since gotten decent knife skills to where i can perform at about the same speed as this guy but to be honest a bit more sloppy with my cuts, i work a bit slower trying to focus more on precision. I'll always look back on this video with fond memories of better times, peace ✌️
+jason herabo Victorinox chef's knife is an inexpensive entry level knife. It's an industry standard regular knife. Anyone who even casualty cooks should own one.
Nice video! He's demonstrating sous chef skills, "Fastest knife." He doesn't claim to be a chef. It's a whole lot of food, prepared for a whole lot of stew, real fast. No other claim was made. He also said to cook it down an hour or two and, "you have it!" Cooking all of those fine veggies down with that garlic and salt and pepper, that's a pot of stew in my book. OK maybe I'd thicken it up a bit in the end if it needed it. He did nothing unhygienic. Having chopped my fair share of veggies and meat in my time, I'd invite him over to my house for stew, any time!
It should be apparent from his professional level cutting skills, sweating the mirepoix, the way he added the spices and ingredients, and his choice of a restaurant cooking pot, that he either is a professional chef or was a professional chef. The guy has excellent professional skills. david .
So inspiring to see 8+ years of mastery at work! It looks like so much fun to do, but it must be killer pain in the hands/arms for chopping and preparing for hours on end. I salute you! After seeing this I realized that I must sign up for Sur La Table's knife skills class as soon as possible.

Tamlyn Peterson I'm impressed how fast you're moving. You make the knife sound halfway between a belt fed machine-gun and a steel working powerhammer. This is how you handle a soup emergency.
Speed isn't the most important thing in cooking... It's like a dude that can pull off 30 kills in a game but at the same time has 40 deaths. Flavor is everything. No one minds if you're slow as long as it tastes incredible
In a restaurant speed is what you need. This guy works as a cook does! Believe me! Chopping faster and cooking faster is what a chef asks you to do. Unless you cook at home for you and your family! Then you can be as lazy as you like ;)
this guy nailed it, slow down and cut the veg & meat properly. everyone on here is complaining that customers don`t care if the food isn`t cut even but that`s not the point, my father was a head chef and one of the first things he taught me was consistency is key. everything should be cut to the same size before being cooked to ensure even cooking. how would you like to get a stew that tastes good with soft veg then you bite into a half cooked potato because Mr. hack job here thinks he needs to chop faster then anyone else in the kitchen so he doesn`t care about accuracy. i understand that the point was to get it done in 10 minutes and being slow can get you fired but unevenly cooked food can get you fired even faster because it gives the restaurant a bad reputation. red seal or not this is just sloppy, i work in an autobody shop and have better knife skills then this guy
Guys, Chill... He just cut all that shit super quick. Most of you guys would have parts of finger mixed in that stew if you tried this (Oh yeah... Tamlyn Peterson perhaps a warning not to try this at home for the people watching) . And besides, in the beginning he said he's gonna have some fun. He wasn't seriously trying to cook an award winning stew.
People talking about the vegetables not being even and looking pretty or not cooking properly. It's a SOUP ffs who cares? If you are examining the contents of the soup rather than enjoying the taste, you are missing the point. As for not cooking properly it simmers for a couple of hours. If this guy was on a film set full of hungry, tired people, he'd be the most popular guy there.
***** Sorry man but it is kinda bad what he is doing, because the whay that he works the ingerdients its awfull and it will afect the flavour.The love that you show to your products its very important. There are good whays for working fast with a knife and doing it well and for a person that works professionally in a kitchen for 8 years he is realy bad.So yee people hate because he deserves ti and "If this guy was on a film set full of hungry, tired people, he'd be the most popular guy there." but if you put a pesone that actualy cares for what he does he will be a GOD
Rubbish. It's chopped evenly enough and when it's cooked for that long it all gets cooked. Tastes fine. It's a soup! No one on a film set or wherever gives a shit about watching some ponce chop things traditionally with 'love'. Lol get real. They're off shooting a film. This guy is a badass and I bet that soup tastes great.
***** Ofcourse the people eating the soup don't care about the food being butchered, but this video is about the "kniv skillz" this guy has, and knife skills are often about 'speed + precision'. This guy only has speed... Low quality, high quantity.
Caspar Abelmann Actually the video is called "fastest knife skills!, not 'best traditional high quality knife skills'. The video is about making a large volume of good tasting, healthy food as quickly as possible and he absolutely nails it. The food isn't being butchered, it just isn't being chopped into 100% equal and pleasing chunks. This doesn't matter for soup because they're close enough, and it all cooks through. The knife skills may not be technically perfect, but they're good enough for the chopped vegetables to make a great soup. You clearly don't know much about soup if you think this isn't the case. Show me a video anywhere else on the net where someone achieves that in the time that he does it. Even if you can find one, this guy is a don and he deserves respect for what he doing, not a shunning from purists who really don't understand the point of the video.
I'd like to try the stew... I'm sure it is quite good. Those commenting down below criticizing him, i am not saying youre wrong, but he isn't bad with a knife and the point of the video was to make stew in under 10 minutes... so of course everything he did was freaking fast and rather rushed.
how it's that going to be good when you have half the onions dices wrong, and the potatoes... you're gonna get pieces that are raw, you have to cut vegatable in the same sizes so they cook properly... plus all that salt and pepper....
You look more like a professional kitchen helper than a professional chef. Cutting everything from day to night in the restaurant kitchen. That's why you got the skills to pay the bills
Tamlyn... no worries mate... I've worked in so so many kitchens... you did great... you caused people to comment. Some people have never worked in a kitchen where productivity or mass was more important than precision. I've worked in both kind of kitchens and a few more. Carry on Bro
Damn your precise knife skills are terrifying. Great work! I see you keeping your index finger next to the blade. I can see why your quick and with out a drop of blood.
Witnessed this dude cut and chop even faster than in the video if you can imagine. Never seen anything like it. Blew the head chef, from the steakhouse we were working at, out of the water. Can also report that he has all his fingers which I think really shows the skill and control. Great chef to work with and learn from. I think Tam has taught me more than he cares to give himself credit for. Great chef, genuine person, awesome food and unforgettable times. Make more meals on youtube for me to try at home!
+Deer Viehch What a stupid thing to say... Good cooking is everything to do about loving and respecting your ingredients... What this man here is doing is something you could train a monkey to do.
+Deer Viehch It is more of a passion, and a care. This guy (though he is showing off speed) is messing up the food by rushing. It is known as efficiency in the kitchen. Quality/Time, if it is a high quality in little time, it is efficient. Here, it is low quality, low time, meaning an average efficiency in the kitchen. His uneven cuts will show when you eat, since some pieces of vegetables will be less cooked than others, meaning either raw pieces here and there, or over cooked pieces here and there. He seems to have been practicing this fast technique separately from a normal knife technique, which is a bit dangerous at such a speed. There are separate techniques depending on your speed level, but his inaccuracy shows that he either doesn't practice cook much, or he is using a new knife technique separate from a slightly slower (but safer, and more accurate) technique, which is what I assume. Putting love into your food allows you to care about it. If you don't care about your food, you will cut corners you think are not necessary, and start making shortcuts that lessen quality. This impacts your efficiency in making a delightful dish. And that is sad... it means the utility of each ingredient was lessened through use... like trimmings, just being thrown out. It is wasteful.
It is so annoying how people can say negative comments! Think: is it kind? Is it smart? Is it true? If the answer is no, then just do not speak! So why are you people complaining? He can cook the only way he feels is right for him and comfortable for him. So stop saying such rude things! Let him cook his own way. Are you eating the food? NO! Your not eating the food! So just be quiet and let him show us what he can do. Ps . loved the video! :)
Chris Goodall I'd get in trouble at the restaurant I work at if i cut vegetables like this. All of his cuts are very sloppy. But this is the work of prep cooks. I usually cut meat.
"Fastest" I've seen faster, and speed isn't always the key, half the things he cut were uneven and let me tell you nothing pisses people off more than huge chunks next to tiny diced pieces of the same shit, uniformity.
It isn't so much about the texture issues or consistency of uneven cuts, but the fact that this dish will not cook properly. The tiny chunks of potatoes will be complete mush and may fall apart, the properly cut chunks will be perfect, and the large chunks will be raw in the middle giving an odd crunch when eating. Great speed, but it is very clear he sacrificed quality for speed.
Well, you certainly know how to have fun with cooking! Your little sound effects with those peppers and seasoning the onion/garlic mix... It made me giggle. lol
That looks like a prison meal lol. Not the cleanest cutting job but pretty good for 10 minutes...certainly better than I could do. Not sure why you're getting so much hate, you just wanted to make a huge stew in 10 minutes and you did it...good job.
I tried this and severed my finger. That's a lawsuit, buddy. (Kidding. I read a long time ago to pinch the knife blade like you are doing for control, so I started doing it - this is the first time I am seeing someone else do it. Super impressed with your efficiency, I learned a lot :D Thank you.)
Too much speed.... nothing precission!! Any person who cooks knows that the slices must have the same size to reach the same cooking point. Cooking is more than slicing.
+maya dukuray I know that very well. In that kind of war, I like t expose someone who don't have the right weapon (ex. common sense, arguments, knowledge, etc.). Just for fun!! In the same way, I like and I have my rights to make critics on the videos made only to collect visits without any deep criteria or technical value.
Not bad, but I never "scrape" my knives across the cutting board horizontally to move things aside. Running your knife along the cutting board like that ruins your edge. Oh yeah, and electric stoves are Blasphemy in the cooking world.
cbond99 "I never "scrape" my knives across the cutting board horizontally to move things aside." Yeah, I cringed every time he did it, too. "electric stoves are Blasphemy in the cooking world." Yes, but at home very few people have a choice in the matter.
That's why you hone and sharper your knife regurly. When you work in banquets, that's often seen. And as soon as they fished I see alot of chefs and prep workers hone their knives in a whetstone to have it resharpen. Again we all work different. I have a $300 knife that I give a beating everyday! But that's why I paid so much for it so that it can resist high pressure and long beatings. I seen and used cheap knives chip away while prepping for 300+ people banquets. So it's all personal opinion
Cutting like this won't make you lose a finger, as soon as the blade touches you skin, your reflexes kick in and your hand fly's back. I've done it many times, worst case scenario is you'll need a bandage for a small cut.
+Tony Stark Not really.... Proper technique and you will never cut yourself..... Haven't cut myself in 20 years, not on his level.... But stick to your proper technique and cutting yourself will only happen if you stray from your technique....
Never thought I would watch a 13 minute video on something like this, I don't even know how I got here. That was thoroughly entertaining though! Talanted dude.
It's 4:31 at night I just watched a 13 minute video of a guy making soup and all I can think about now is getting a new knife I now understand when people tell me I need a life this is the shit they're referring to
you look to young to be at a decent level,in my kitchen,you would be lucky to look at the menu let alone prep anything.i do not need to put a video up displaying how i can rough cut veg quick to make soup.tell me what would you garnish a cep rossini soup with? commis !.even the miro poix in my kitchen is sliced and washed for a 9 hour jus...my stocks have the most beautiful clarities...i bet you cant even make a GRAVY.i got trainees better than you.
I'm watching this magnificent video whilst packing left over pizza for lunch tomorrow. I am not only a disgrace but it takes me 10 minutes to do this. What the hell man, really?
RaZorFakkzor You must be joking. We're not talking about some fat-ass working at Subway that can't be trusted to have proper hygiene. I've been in quite a few kitchens at different high-class restaurants and the only situation where someone puts a glove on is when they manage to give themselves a knife wound. Also, the finger tips on gloves never last long when you're working with a knife.
These aren't even knife skills, You just hold a blade swinging it up and down while holding it with your fingers. Knife skills would be doing it that fast but making uniform cuts and making everything nice and neat, not ugly and uneven.
That's a sharp knife, you cut through those bell peppers with ease!! I like the way you face the rounded egde of the side cuts towards the surface of the table and use it's shape as leverage to rotate the bell pepper when making julienne. Was screwing around with peppers yesterday trying to figure out the fastest method for chopping them. I'm gonna try this at work next time. Thanks a lot man, saved me a bunch of time!!!
OMGOSH!! Serious cutting skills!! I'm in culinary school right now and your skills would be really useful getting "er done!! I hope you're still cooking up a storm. Thanks for the fun video :)
Tamlyn... you have inspired me... I might try to do a video that compares my own knives to the ones in my commercial kitchen... or various other knives... SAY... my $2,000 knife or my $200 knife... ONLY VIDEO could see the differences...RIGHT?
dude I dunno im quite fascinated with cooking and chefs that learned how to use knives as a skill, and I don't know what everyone is complaining about, you for sure were on a clock and were doing your things that may not be sanitized but who cares, you I bet were gonna eat that food, not like someone else would have or what not, im just saying dang you were like veggie chopper killer for sure, those shroooms, those oooonnnnns dude you could of easily taken your hand when you cutting the horizontal part of the onions that fast across you know, but you killed it, pretty crazy man... keep cookin dude... danny
this guy is awesome and it's awesome to see someone proud of their craft. kudos my man i only hope i can find as much joy and satisfaction with my career, experience and life path someday.
next time I get lazy thinking abt chopping vegetables for stir fry I will view this video. I actually enjoy chopping vegetables. it's an experience and you feel good about eating healthier. nice vid. wish you the best. it seems you like doing this.
I challenge you to a duel, missuer, lol. Love kitchen challenges. You are great. I am older and have cooked all my life with no speed challengers until my nephew got his culinary degree. He has a couple speed chopping videos that are great. Thanks for the video.
Everyone is criticizing the guy's knife skills, but the point of this video isn't to show proper technique. It's just a fun video to show some really speedy prep.

Well said, Moiz!
If you make the cuts too good on soup people will suspect convenience food or food processor usage XD
The guy shows proper technique. He even says you need to keep blade close to your hand. I is first thing they teach in culinary school. And a sharp blade. If you have very good knife like japanese gyuto helps with keeping edge very sharp for long time.

I knew a mad hippie chef as a teenager, who lost his finger in a blender once (it got sewn back on and he showed me scar to prove it). He was nowhere near this level of skill obviously. Was probably tripping on LSD when he had the accident with the blender. Now I've just sent him a link to this vid to teach him a thing or 2. Note - only the bit about the hippie and blender accident are known facts, the rest is just comedic licence.
As a chef, I can confirm that this guy has great skills. Non talented people will criticize as always. I wish him great success.

I just sat and watched some guy chop veggies for 13 minutes and I don't regret it. This was so entertaining and I want that knife! It looks amazing
Katue Kat its..a regular cutting knife XDDDD
Jman The Gamer its not scrub
+jason herabo Its just a victorinox knife scrub
+Alex Tassis exactly not a regular knife
+jason herabo Victorinox chef's knife is an inexpensive entry level knife. It's an industry standard regular knife. Anyone who even casualty cooks should own one.
This was filmed with a potato, that he forgot to chop.
Hahaaahaah
Chill, it's was 2010
i've never seen this comment...
Has any else heard a sick beat while slicing the mushrooms?
Yeah xD
Or gunshots
Suigi Moto yeeess
It's the knife banging on the table
Suigi Moto That was exactly what I thought of! And a submachine gun XD
its a stew, the people complaining about the "sloppy" cuts are just being hyper critical. again, its a stew...relax
yeah i prefer chunky cuts in a stew.
If I did that, those people would probably find a finger or two in their salad.
Or soup
If I did that the only thing in the meal would be fingers .
Just put your fingers in a claw grip and your knuckles guide your knife and it will reduce cuts. Stop using flat hands
U all need to stop hating on this guy, lets see u cut as fast as him without cutting yourself, he was great, keep up the
Good
Work😉

I'd like to see the 1,270 who disliked this try and do it better than him.

Ok
Thanks again for viewing and I read every comment please keep it up thanks guys!!
you are great :D bravo!!!
Please Upload more!
I've learned so much from this you can't believe!
10 mins of pure skill I wish I could do that
i can do it in 5 mints

surprisingly it did lol

^You're Darude.
Do you honestly think head chefs didn't start as a kitchen helper?
Knife skills are a mandatory.

LOL very clever, very clever.
That beat with the mushrooms though

what i exactly thought
No cooking skills here, no love no passion- nothing. In the world of chef, this guy is nowt.
+Mal big Its about making food, not loving your ingrediants
+Deer Viehch What a stupid thing to say... Good cooking is everything to do about loving and respecting your ingredients... What this man here is doing is something you could train a monkey to do.
malkycombat Ok, im not a cook in any way, but I can't see how your food gets better by applying love to it :D
+Deer Viehch It is more of a passion, and a care. This guy (though he is showing off speed) is messing up the food by rushing. It is known as efficiency in the kitchen. Quality/Time, if it is a high quality in little time, it is efficient. Here, it is low quality, low time, meaning an average efficiency in the kitchen. His uneven cuts will show when you eat, since some pieces of vegetables will be less cooked than others, meaning either raw pieces here and there, or over cooked pieces here and there.
He seems to have been practicing this fast technique separately from a normal knife technique, which is a bit dangerous at such a speed. There are separate techniques depending on your speed level, but his inaccuracy shows that he either doesn't practice cook much, or he is using a new knife technique separate from a slightly slower (but safer, and more accurate) technique, which is what I assume.
Putting love into your food allows you to care about it. If you don't care about your food, you will cut corners you think are not necessary, and start making shortcuts that lessen quality. This impacts your efficiency in making a delightful dish. And that is sad... it means the utility of each ingredient was lessened through use... like trimmings, just being thrown out. It is wasteful.
***** Thanks for taking the time to explain :D
It is so annoying how people can say negative comments! Think: is it kind? Is it smart? Is it true? If the answer is no, then just do not speak! So why are you people complaining? He can cook the only way he feels is right for him and comfortable for him. So stop saying such rude things! Let him cook his own way. Are you eating the food? NO! Your not eating the food! So just be quiet and let him show us what he can do. Ps . loved the video! :)
Im watching this at 2016 :D
+MarshalONE Gaming good for you
Paul yes i know.
Im watching 2017
+MarshalONE Gaming In 2016. ***
I'm watching this in 1973
He cuts vegetables like a Mexican prep cook. They always bang their knives on the cutting board.
And he has a cheap knife.
Still faster than you
Chris Goodall I'd get in trouble at the restaurant I work at if i cut vegetables like this. All of his cuts are very sloppy. But this is the work of prep cooks. I usually cut meat.
I agree, he was having some fun, I wish I could use a knife as quick as that Falcor, Defender of the Alliance
his knife is sharp. I would race him
I could race him too, but never beat hime curbdog808
3:51 he goes crazy on the mushrooms so fast
if you listen its like he making a beat 😂😂
That was incredibly fast, the way you cut the mushrooms was amazing! I found the whole video strangely therapeutic
did you record this with calculator?
no, a potato.
Well... digital cameras do have a computer inside them, computers are calculators... so yes they did
"Fastest" I've seen faster, and speed isn't always the key, half the things he cut were uneven and let me tell you nothing pisses people off more than huge chunks next to tiny diced pieces of the same shit, uniformity.
It isn't so much about the texture issues or consistency of uneven cuts, but the fact that this dish will not cook properly. The tiny chunks of potatoes will be complete mush and may fall apart, the properly cut chunks will be perfect, and the large chunks will be raw in the middle giving an odd crunch when eating. Great speed, but it is very clear he sacrificed quality for speed.
JeebusCripes21 you do realize he is cooking soup...
Allistar123 My explanation assumes as much. "The tiny chunks of potatoes will be completely mush and may fall apart..."
scratching over the cuttingboard with the sharp edge. yum...
The word 'fastest' in the heading of this video pretty much got this guy 99.9% of the views xD
6:17 TURNIP FOR WHAT!
*Drops the bass*
Lmao
Gay
Turn up for gay? I personally don't roll that way.. But feel free to do whatever you want my friend.
Turn up the fries he said:)
I was watching csgo knife case opening, now I'm watching this. O_O
same here
same
+Wellington Nakamatsu same !!! AHAHAHHAHAHAHA
The cameraman took one of the potatoes so he could film with it.
Well, you certainly know how to have fun with cooking! Your little sound effects with those peppers and seasoning the onion/garlic mix... It made me giggle. lol
Wouldn't call him the fastest, nowhere near. But pretty fast.
Pretty freakin fast though. Woulda been a freakin finger stew if I tried.
how he scratches over the board with the blade hurts my soul....
WHEA TLAY i do that as well with mise en place or just to push the shit aside i dont need. It becomes a habit in food prep
I can make cereal.....
Cooking up a batch so quickly is very impressive. I cant believe you didn't cut a finger while doing the carrots! You are really a inspiration.
I was anticipating him slicing into one of his fingers the whole time. Great video though!
+Zack Valenta that's the thrill of the moment /agree
I was watching a parkour video how did i get here
I was watching a video about a guy messing with batteries -.- The internet is a really strange place....
I was watching some nice sleeper-car videos before this.. The internet is... a fickle beast..
I was watching top 15 strangest beaches by danger Dolan... Try to beat that
Syndi Cat That's it for this countdown
*AND HAVE A GOOD ONE!*
That looks like a prison meal lol. Not the cleanest cutting job but pretty good for 10 minutes...certainly better than I could do. Not sure why you're getting so much hate, you just wanted to make a huge stew in 10 minutes and you did it...good job.
I tried this and severed my finger. That's a lawsuit, buddy.
(Kidding. I read a long time ago to pinch the knife blade like you are doing for control, so I started doing it - this is the first time I am seeing someone else do it. Super impressed with your efficiency, I learned a lot :D Thank you.)
I could try to do it just like this, but I'd chop off about 30 fingers in the process.
We only have 8 fingers?😏
Silly commenter,
You only have 10.5 fingers...
Well, we all have 80 fingers, so you still have 50 left :)
is this a country sized serving? Lol
Too much speed.... nothing precission!! Any person who cooks knows that the slices must have the same size to reach the same cooking point. Cooking is more than slicing.
shut the fuck up
+Angel Gutierrez If you don't show me I'm wrong YOU MUST SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!
+Claudio Marcelo CONTE he doesn't have to know you. I think you've forgotten that this is the internet. the land of keyboard warriors
+maya dukuray I know that very well. In that kind of war, I like t expose someone who don't have the right weapon (ex. common sense, arguments, knowledge, etc.). Just for fun!! In the same way, I like and I have my rights to make critics on the videos made only to collect visits without any deep criteria or technical value.
+Claudio Marcelo CONTE Does it matter in a stew kinda thing like what they were making?
There's something really therapeutic about watching someone cut vegetables really quickly.
Not bad, but I never "scrape" my knives across the cutting board horizontally to move things aside. Running your knife along the cutting board like that ruins your edge. Oh yeah, and electric stoves are Blasphemy in the cooking world.
cbond99 "I never "scrape" my knives across the cutting board horizontally to move things aside."
Yeah, I cringed every time he did it, too.
"electric stoves are Blasphemy in the cooking world."
Yes, but at home very few people have a choice in the matter.
cbond99 Don't forget the useless taps he does with the knife when he hits nothing but the board, I feel for the blade.
Jrenyar lol >,
rsiku Yup he does do that, but then he does do random taps that have nothing to do with cleaning the knife...
That's why you hone and sharper your knife regurly. When you work in banquets, that's often seen. And as soon as they fished I see alot of chefs and prep workers hone their knives in a whetstone to have it resharpen. Again we all work different. I have a $300 knife that I give a beating everyday! But that's why I paid so much for it so that it can resist high pressure and long beatings. I seen and used cheap knives chip away while prepping for 300+ people banquets. So it's all personal opinion
He may have the speed but he clearly lacks the precision
+KeeDot Exe I felt the whole time he was gonna cut his finger open with that shit lol.
y a d i g g He was trying to go too fast and almost sliced his fingers off xD
Why so many haters? Nothing wrong with your knife skills,you did a great job cutting those veggies. Thumbs up.
very impressive but, its just bound to happen you gonna lose a finger trying to impress the camera.
Cutting like this won't make you lose a finger, as soon as the blade touches you skin, your reflexes kick in and your hand fly's back. I've done it many times, worst case scenario is you'll need a bandage for a small cut.
+Tony Stark Not really.... Proper technique and you will never cut yourself..... Haven't cut myself in 20 years, not on his level.... But stick to your proper technique and cutting yourself will only happen if you stray from your technique....
Never thought I would watch a 13 minute video on something like this, I don't even know how I got here. That was thoroughly entertaining though! Talanted dude.
any chef with a year in cusine can do that.
tbh not as fast as I was expecting, well i am asian... and my boss will screw me over for cutting like that... and thats what a food processor is for
its fast but so bad the peices look like evolution if you were in a kitchen the head chef would be throwing shit at you
It's 4:31 at night I just watched a 13 minute video of a guy making soup and all I can think about now is getting a new knife I now understand when people tell me I need a life this is the shit they're referring to
sloppy
you should have used a blender...
Yeah thats imposibble dont know if its a jk but
Awful carrot cutting
Awful everything cutting.
2,883 peopled cried from your onion skills (not tears of joy)
ign 10/10
Not even close .... I can do faster than him.
no you cant.what kind of restaurant do you wash up in commis boy?
We're waiting on your video ;)
be quiet commis...what knives do you use?
you look to young to be at a decent level,in my kitchen,you would be lucky to look at the menu let alone prep anything.i do not need to put a video up displaying how i can rough cut veg quick to make soup.tell me what would you garnish a cep rossini soup with? commis !.even the miro poix in my kitchen is sliced and washed for a 9 hour jus...my stocks have the most beautiful clarities...i bet you cant even make a GRAVY.i got trainees better than you.
Chefs are a jealous lot, lets see you Video, einstein
b4zook4tooth
Is this what you call fast because its slow as fuck
Oh can u go faster without cutin ur self or something
I'm watching this magnificent video whilst packing left over pizza for lunch tomorrow. I am not only a disgrace but it takes me 10 minutes to do this. What the hell man, really?
am i only one who finds his hands touching food disgusting?
probably just projecting about ur nasty hands.. but no its not disgusting. washed hands are washed hands
Andrew Gama
sweat is there and you can't wash all the bacteria. That's why all professional cooks use gloves!
cook your own fucking food then simple
RaZorFakkzor thats why the god damn food is put through this process called cooking. Kills almost if not all of the germs
RaZorFakkzor You must be joking. We're not talking about some fat-ass working at Subway that can't be trusted to have proper hygiene. I've been in quite a few kitchens at different high-class restaurants and the only situation where someone puts a glove on is when they manage to give themselves a knife wound. Also, the finger tips on gloves never last long when you're working with a knife.
These aren't even knife skills, You just hold a blade swinging it up and down while holding it with your fingers. Knife skills would be doing it that fast but making uniform cuts and making everything nice and neat, not ugly and uneven.
That's a sharp knife, you cut through those bell peppers with ease!! I like the way you face the rounded egde of the side cuts towards the surface of the table and use it's shape as leverage to rotate the bell pepper when making julienne. Was screwing around with peppers yesterday trying to figure out the fastest method for chopping them. I'm gonna try this at work next time. Thanks a lot man, saved me a bunch of time!!!
NICE, the pounding on the board drives me crazy when i'm doing it LOL. Good job!!
Hey, how do i practice this to the best effect? Just buy a bunch of vegetables and go go go?
Suddenly everyone became instant chefs. Keep up the expertise
OMGOSH!! Serious cutting skills!! I'm in culinary school right now and your skills would be really useful getting "er done!!
I hope you're still cooking up a storm. Thanks for the fun video :)
it's like the video sped up once you did the mushrooms. fancy blade skills. good job!
thats was fucking awesome dude, especially the mushroom part lol
Tamlyn... you have inspired me... I might try to do a video that compares my own knives to the ones in my commercial kitchen... or various other knives... SAY... my $2,000 knife or my $200 knife... ONLY VIDEO could see the differences...RIGHT?
dude I dunno im quite fascinated with cooking and chefs that learned how to use knives as a skill, and I don't know what everyone is complaining about, you for sure were on a clock and were doing your things that may not be sanitized but who cares, you I bet were gonna eat that food, not like someone else would have or what not, im just saying dang you were like veggie chopper killer for sure, those shroooms, those oooonnnnns dude you could of easily taken your hand when you cutting the horizontal part of the onions that fast across you know, but you killed it, pretty crazy man... keep cookin dude... danny
After watching 13 mins I could finish 3 onions by far...great skill man
I would've finished one and then gone off somewhere to cry
this guy is awesome and it's awesome to see someone proud of their craft. kudos my man i only hope i can find as much joy and satisfaction with my career, experience and life path someday.
When there’s 20 minutes before service and you forgot to prep the stew*
I’m going to watch this every day I have free time. Going to copy this guy’s skills.
if i cut like this at work, my chef that always respects me will call the HR department to fire me
I was a line cook for 6 years and never that fast. You got prep skills!
next time I get lazy thinking abt chopping vegetables for stir fry I will view this video.
I actually enjoy chopping vegetables. it's an experience and you feel good about eating healthier.
nice vid. wish you the best. it seems you like doing this.
I challenge you to a duel, missuer, lol. Love kitchen challenges. You are great. I am older and have cooked all my life with no speed challengers until my nephew got his culinary degree. He has a couple speed chopping videos that are great. Thanks for the video.
I don't know why I find this satisfying
