What are the hidden rules of the catering chef industry?
Every industry has left the blood and tears experience of its predecessors, and the chef industry is no exception. Below, I will tell you about the hidden rules of the catering chef industry. Come and see what they have!
don't let me? Celebrity chef? Hurt you!
There is no shortcut in the world. If the school invites a chef at the grass-roots level, it is easier for beginners to learn solid basic skills. If you study? Celebrity chef? Our? Bad habit? Not as good as the rest, then you will have to take the fall sooner or later.
For example, if some famous chefs perform cooking, they must first consider their own reputation, definitely come up with their own unique skills, and make them perfect. In this way, they will be very picky about the selection of raw materials and ingredients, so some leftovers that are completely available at ordinary times can only be discarded.
what if the learner only learns from others without remembering anything else? Picky? It's not enough to make two neat and beautiful fish fillets. Rules? Throw your fish in the trash can, and you may pack up and leave the next day.
So, don't be superstitious about famous chefs. Famous chefs are also trained by chopping countless radishes and cabbages with one knife and one axe and scalding many blisters. What you should learn from famous chefs is their practical skills in this field, not their showmanship in performance.
You have to know your skills to pat garlic.
What kind of chef is qualified to be called a master? Not only should he have a solid foundation and be brilliant in innovation, but there is also a very important one? Informal.
Some chefs cut vegetables and poked them on the chopping board. After frying the vegetables, the spoon is dropped, and the kitchen is full of broken vegetables and dripping sauce ideas, just waiting for the apprentice to come? Wipe your ass? Then this kind of chef will never become a famous chef.
The real master is continuous shooting garlic, who is very particular about such details. When patting garlic with a knife, garlic cloves can easily jump out of the chopping board, but if you pile garlic in the middle of the chopping board and cover it with a clean cloth, Pa? If you cut it, you'll get twice the result with half the effort. The real kung fu is often between these subtleties.
sculpture is a? Little wife?
Many people are interested in carving. Where there is a chef performing carving, the onlookers must be three floors inside and three floors outside. If you don't sleep for two nights after you go home, you have to carve a dragon if you cut 311 Jin of radish.
but will it help? It's useless.
chefs look at carvings, don't they? Looking forward to and afraid of being hurt? , like looking for? Little wife? Our mentality: keeping it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and abandoning it is too much. ? Little wife? Although beauty is beautiful, it is not only impossible to count on it at the critical moment, but I am afraid it will ruin your business. When guests come to eat food, they smell fragrant and eat delicious. As long as it's not a cooking contest, generally, no one wants to order food first? Beauty? Have a taste.
on the contrary, it is the flashy food that is the easiest to be scolded. Want to put? Little wife? People who are upright and eager to concentrate on carving are completely possessed.
if you stick to the secret recipe, you will die.
Some chefs always look forward to learning something? Family secret recipe? , actually,? Family secret recipe? There is no secret recipe.
Cooking is different from dispensing medicine. You can't cure a disease without taking this medicine. People can't eat this dish you cooked with secret recipe, and they won't die of hunger. Moreover, whether this secret recipe really exists or not is still a matter of two views.
one kind of situation is pure hype, so as to increase mystery and salt and raise one's social status; The other is that there is something special in the formula, but it is also this? Authentic? The secret recipe is easily regarded as the golden rule by the store. No matter how the diners' tastes change rapidly, he dare not cross the line.
this kind of shop may be because? Secret recipe? The stunt was booming for a while, but after a few years, it was not used to communicate or replenish fresh blood. Secret recipe? It is bound to kill all your innovative ideas in the cradle. So, put the so-called? Family secret recipe? Covered tightly, it will not be as fragrant as wine, but only become a way to commit suicide.
Foreign countries are actually purgatory
Many young chefs yearn to go abroad, but here we should remind everyone that foreign pies do not fall from the sky.
In Singapore, the salary of a chef in China is only close to that of a dishwasher, but the work he does is equivalent to the workload of three or four people in China. When he is sick, he has to hang a bottle to cook, which is very common in Singapore.
people who have just gone may feel that they can get so much money and are willing to crawl home, but after a long time, they either feel tired or feel that the money is less than others, so they will not be in a right attitude. Singaporean employers' comments on many China people are: they are picky, calculating and easily emotional. They always complain about their low wages and treatment when their work ability is lost to Malays and domestic workers, and some even encourage chefs to resign. This behavior has a very bad influence.
Therefore, if you want to go out, you should put yourself in a proper position first, so as not to ruin a pot of porridge with a rat's excrement, and make fellow villagers run into a wall when looking for a job.
the gold medal is hung on the back of the neck
where is the gold medal hung? Is it chest or back?
With the gold medal hanging on the chest, people will inevitably have to bend down to wait for it and glance at it smugly from time to time, so there are fewer opportunities to look forward.
when the medal is thrown behind your neck, you will feel a heavy pressure on your back? Be careful! If you make a dish and let people say: Still won the gold medal, it tastes terrible! ? How about this? Golden dish? It will be too much for you.
such a gold medal will not only hit your own name, but also the store that hired you.
? Stupid chef? Only in this way can you learn real skills
Tigers learn skills from cats, and cats have left a trick to climb trees to save their lives, not to mention people.
The old masters were all apprentices, so it was hard. Daughter-in-law became a woman? , then? Cheap? It's a bit of a psychological imbalance to let apprentices learn their own skills. They often say? If you teach an apprentice, there will be no master? There is always one step in the three steps. Therefore, when you learn art, remember never to show your cleverness in front of the master! There are three unique tricks to get the real goods from the master's stomach:
First, act like a fool in front of the master, so that the master thinks that he has no intention to learn;
second, try to pretend not to pay attention when the master cooks special dishes; The third is to take pencil and paper with you. When you see something desirable, you sneak into the toilet, write it down quickly, and study it slowly after work.
An apprentice and a master who act in a wooden way will not be wary, and the real trick will not avoid you.
I'll let you do it after I watch you? Two chopping boards?
some chefs may complain: I've been making two chopping boards for three years, and I've changed two chopping boards. Why isn't it my turn yet? ! ?
it's human nature that people strive for heights, but it's short-sighted. I made you a chopping block, yes, you can get more money, play a little prestige, and give full play to your existing level, but you just? The end? Everyone comes to you when they are in trouble. Who do you go to? There is no one to find, no one to learn. If you don't learn before you get to the chopping block? Full? You will work very hard and eventually be replaced like your predecessor.
The second chopping block is not the same. You are familiar with this position, and the pressure is not as great as that of the headstock, so you will have more time to learn their skills. If you change the headstock, you will learn more, and you can continuously absorb the essence of others for your use. What's wrong?
Master thinks highly of you, and thinks you have potential. He wants to cultivate you well, so that he won't stick you anywhere as a plaster, but try his best to give you opportunities to learn new things constantly, understand? ;
