    There are no tricks that chefs don't want you to know. It's cooking and I encourage anyone to give it a go. What makes a chef a chef is how they operate in service with consistent care, consistent presentation, working well under pressure, being able to cater at a moments notice. Just because you can cook something delicious means nothing in the industry if you can't make the same dish 10 times over

    On keeping it warm: 1. Warm the plate before you serve, all professional kitchens warm their plates so that the food stays warm. 2. Plan, even how you serve it. If you have a picture of your idea you just need to put it together instead of free-styling it. Warmth depends on speed, so you don't want to waste time in between. By planning you can also keep the "staying warm" in mind, e.g. first make the puree and keep it warm until you plate and cook the steak last just before you serve. 3. If you have a drawer under your oven, that's it's function, it is not for storing pans. 4. My mom and granny used to keep food warm in the pot by wrapping the pot in blankets and then putting it into the bed under the covers. It works. Or you can get one of these styrofoam delivery containers to put your pots in.
    I know you guys are half-pros so you probably know most of this, but maybe other people here can also get some new ideas about keeping food warm.

    A couples extra tips to anyone that cares, and too both of you if you ever see this comment (I work in a Michelin starred kitchen)
    1) Beetroot, you could salt bake the the beet to stop any dryness, plus extra flavouring
    2) Microherbs, Microherbs are some of the most important parts of the finish dish, not taste wise, but presentation, when I am plating a dish the difference a couple lemon balm herbs make is insane
    3) Chives, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAKE TIME WITH YOUR CHIVES, take your time and get them right, there is NOTHING worst than a thick chive,
    4) Foam, you can buy a shipon bottle for $35, some of the foams you can make are just insane

    Also when youre frying starchy foods (potatoes, yucca root, sunchoke, ect..) it helps to put them in ice water with lemon for a couple minutes/while youre slicing it. If youre doing batch cookery it also helps keep em from oxidizing while youre cutting. Also a mandolin helps with precise cuts 😉

    I'm definitely going to try the egg yolk pickled in salt....that really looks great. I'm delighted that your channel promotes cooking at home...too often restaurants use food technology chemicals (high fructose corn syrup anyone?) that contributes to obesity....greatest thing someone can do for themselves and their family is to cook most of their meals themselves at home. You enable that! Great technique, and I love that you can present gourmet without being pretentious! Keep up the good work.

    15:20 and that is the whole reason fancier restaurants are more expensive: skilled manpower to serve food hot and juicy! The video is great for calling the attention to seeing the inidividual components on a plate which could be replicated at home, to a degree anyhow. Perhaps the result will be less than juicy and/or less than hot. Ultimately, making people appreciate restaurants and their food. Restaurants have different chefs, with different roles responsible for their section, each with helper chefs. To serve perfect balanced food quickly and hot. The main chef is akin to an art director. The fancier the restaurant menu, the more complex the menu and the more people, with right skills, are needed.
    Other 'secrets' worth mentioning, restaurants are always accruing cuts of meat, bones and vegetables to create stocks and sauces! They don't make every stock or reduction fresh. Otherwise it would become an impossible mission.

    When doing the puree, you can roast the vegetable of your choice. After peel the skin cut it up into smaller pieces and put it into a pot with cream and flavours and heat it up to a boil. Use an actual blender rather than food processor if you want it to be really smooth. Also while it's getting blended add cold cubes of butter in there. It gives the puree this velvety texture, and ofcourse in the end put it through the sieve.
    Also for fluid gel, 6-8g of agar agar per 1 litre. It depends on the quality of your product, and yes they differ. And you do have to the precise. Too little, it won't hold. Too much, like in the video it becomes grainy. After blending it should be put through a fine sieve, just so that the final texture that might be left behind is broken.

    Also when youre frying starchy foods (potatoes, yucca root, sunchoke, ect..) it helps to put them in ice water with lemon for a couple minutes/while youre slicing it. If youre doing batch cookery it also helps keep em from oxidizing while youre cutting. Also a mandolin helps with precise cuts

  • @scottbennett9171
    @scottbennett9171 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Hey guys, this was the first video of yours that I have seen. I like that you are making these techniques available to the wider public. You mentioned that you had a little trouble with the temp on certain items (I'm guessing you meant the sous vide). I have never seen sous vide done the way you do it, but my friend introduced me to another great sous vide hack that worked very well and maybe a little easier? All you need is a good insulated cooler (easier with a smaller cooler) and a thermometer. Add water just off the boil and use small amounts of cold water to bring it to whatever temp you desire. Once you shut the lid it will keep at that temp for at least 45min (depending on the cooler). Check periodically depending on how long you want to sous vide, and if it needs a little more water, slowly add more boiling water to bring it back up to temp. Another tip is if you don't have a vacuum sealer use the technique shown here to get the air out of the bag, and then shut lid of the cooler with the zip lock part hanging out keeping your meat submerged without the chance of water leaking in.
    I also have to comment that those knives really didn't look too sharp. A sharp knife would have gone through any product you had with one effortless slice. In the video you had to saw at some products to cut through them. Also the black oxide "finish" on the knives although appealing is impractical when it comes to sharpening them (sharpening, not honing. and specifically when thinning the blade after multiple sharpening's.) just getting nitpicky because I love kitchen knives. Japanese knives are in my opinion the best out there. Thin profile which will glide through the product and hard enough take on a much thinner edge and keep it. I can not speak of the metal they are made of since I've never heard of "German MoV" steel, but my educated guess is they uses Molybdenum and Vanadium to reach a higher hardness, but they do not mention the HrC rating or any information on the forging process. Sorry to go off on the knives, I just really don't like the mainstream knife industry and how they try to coerce customers into buying something with ambiguous terminology or cool looking blades that make you think its a good product and worth the price.
    I wish you guys luck with your channel, and I will definitely be back!

      Don't know about other countries, but in Norway, it's actually hard to recruit good motivated chefs, so recruiting may be one point. Also, if you try this at home (and you should) then you'll figure out how much hassle it actually is, maybe even fail miserably, and then the next time you eat at a fancy restaurant, you'll appreciate it more. Lastly, some people just want to raise the bar. No point in raising the bar if no one know it was raised. If a tree falls in the forest, it's still a tree, right?

    When searing with sous vide get that cast iron skillet ripping hot (use a high smoke point oil...avocado oil is ideal). In this video that steak is so barely searing it is more cooking which defeats the purpose of the sous vide (also, put the herbs in the bag when cooking and not when searing...definitely, dry the meat before searing). Ideally the sear should be about a minute per side and not much more.
