If you want to learn to be a chef, you must know how to knife, turn over the pan, correctly identify and master the oil temperature, accurately and timely feed, master the temperature, thicken, cook in time, plate and so on.

In the chef industry, knife skills, spoon skills, pulp pumping and vegetable cutting are generally regarded as the basic skills necessary for chefs to get started, while in the cooking industry, the basic skills of cooking are regarded as compulsory courses and are always persistent.

At the same time, learning to be a chef requires certain cultural knowledge, certain endurance and judgment. To learn chef cooking, you can apply for the relevant cooking school or go directly to the catering service place with the chef.

What you need to learn from a chef is a lot of practice, constant summary and persistent long-term practice. Learning to be a chef is a science. As long as you work hard, you can learn a craft in a year or two.

Basic skills of chefs

1. Knife skill is a key link in cooking, and it needs frequent practice to master it skillfully. How to hold the knife and how to stand is exquisite and cannot be careless, otherwise the processed food will not meet the requirements of the finished product.

2, spoon work is very important, the so-called spoon work is the spoon action used when cooking. According to the strength and direction of processing vegetables, spoon skills include pushing, pulling, turning, jumping and turning. Whether a dish can be recognized by diners can be said to be a spoonful of life and death Whether you can master the skills of spoons flexibly and make delicious dishes is by no means a day's work.

Pastry is a key part of cooking. The cakes here are not the usual steamed bread and jiaozi. Pastry making requires not only delicious food, but also beautiful appearance. Preparation of pastry shape, time control of steaming, baking and frying, etc. If you have the conditions, you should further learn to make cakes, make western-style cakes and squeeze all kinds of cream for decoration.

1, the school learned more than cooking (various cooking methods are not explained), sugar art, sculpture, dough sculpture, fruit painting, plate decoration and so on.

Some people must say that it is useless to learn these basics, but the basic skills of being a chef are very important. You can't say that you can make money by this, but you can't even learn the basics. How does the employer use you? In fact, what I mainly want to say is that with so much contact at school, maybe which skill is your strength. Being more capable than others can make you develop longer in the future. You can't touch so much in a hotel.

2. The theoretical knowledge learned at school is useful (really useful): cost accounting, raw material knowledge, process knowledge, art, nutrition, menu design, etc.

Cost accounting, if you want to start a business in a few years, you must understand it. Nutrition, with the improvement of living conditions, people not only pay attention to food, but also eat nutritious and healthy food. There will be great room for development in this field. Menu design is really difficult for you to learn in a hotel. Once promoted to chef level, the importance of menu design is highlighted. If you have special guests, you can't open the menu without knowing these things, and you can't conflict without knowing the taste of food.

For chefs, beauty is a gift, and the magic thing is that the dishes they make are art!

There are many people who are willing to teach you in school, but there are fewer hotels.

The teacher's duty is to teach students knowledge, and the hotel master's duty is to do his own work well. What questions do you ask the teacher, as long as he knows, he won't tell you; Hotel master, it depends on whether your question is important or not, and how your relationship with him is. I'm afraid it's not good to teach you anything casually. The hotel master just teaches you something that many people know and asks you to help him. His work is both easy and labor-saving. Those good recipes and great skills may not teach you everything. Or teach the apprentice to starve to death?
