Chapter 403: The Battle of Cooking Speed

A day later, the fourth round of the World Chef Competition, which is the 16-8 competition, officially began. Maybe it's because of the impact of the last game, and there are a lot more spectators today. It's human nature to love to be lively, and a terrorist attack can't turn Maruko Stadium into a no-go zone forever.

After the audience entered, Chrisman first thanked the audience at the scene, and then began to introduce the contestants. Since there were only 16 chefs, I finally had time to introduce them from beginning to end.

"I told you at the end of the fire duel the day before yesterday that today will be a duel of cooking speed. Everyone saw that there was no huge scale in the center of the venue, and that was where the sixteen chefs faced off in groups.

The platform under the feet of the first player will rise, and the platform under the other team will fall, but our game is more than that.

The two giant trays have a perfect temperature control system on top of them, which raises the temperature around the backward side according to the angle of the balance tilt. Under the influence of high temperatures, the disadvantages of the lagging side will be superimposed, and this is a duel between the strong and the strong. ”

When Chrisman explained, the corresponding demo animation also appeared on the big screen, so that the audience immediately understood all the rules of the game.

"Now, let's invite the chefs from the first group of competitions to appear. ”

In anticipation, Sariel and the chef named Pruno stepped onto their respective cooking platforms at the same time. The giant tray hanging dozens of meters in the air swayed slightly with the movements of the two, which also added to the difficulty of the competition.

After the two chefs were seated, a menu appeared on the big screen, with eight items written from top to bottom: appetizer, soup, fish dish, meat dish, main course, salad, dessert and drink, which corresponded to the contents of the full menu.

It's just that now every project is followed by a question mark.

The day before the start of the competition, the organizers have conducted a random lottery under the supervision of a notary public to find out from the countless dishes from all over the world that correspond to the items on the full menu. Sixteen chefs, eight groups of duels, each item corresponds to ten dishes, to ensure that there will be no repetition.

As soon as Sally El and Pruno took the stage, the question mark behind the full menu on the big screen began to flicker.

According to the referee's instructions, Sally El took the lead in pressing and dinging on the controller, and the question mark behind the appetizer immediately changed to [roasted bone-in corn]. Immediately afterwards, Pruno also pressed it, and the reason for the soup was confirmed.

With the two alternating draws, the full menu for the match finally appeared.

Appetizer - [Roasted bone-in corn]

Soup - [Snake and Frog Liver Soup]

Fish Dish - 【Fried White Shark in Butter】

Meat dish - [Feather coat lettuce roll crab pig roast]

Main Meal - 【Tenderloin Steak of White Hair Sintilella Beef】

Salad - 【Snow Shrimp and Potato Salad】

Dessert - [Platinum Apple Smoothie]

Drink - [Freshly squeezed lemon peach juice]

These are the eight dishes that both sides need to make in this match.

After the menu was decided, the staff took out the corresponding ingredients from the warehouse and delivered them to the platform. Ask the two chefs and the announced menu to check and confirm that the competition is correct.

As the countdown on the big screen went to zero, Sariel and Pruno acted at the same time, and the two ran directly to the location of the bone-in corn. The rapid movement caused the tray to shake more often, and the shaking was also a reminder to the two chefs that the table under their feet was not the same as usual.

Bone-in corn is a dream corn that takes ten years to produce in an ordinary corn field, and the original corn cob has been transformed into the shape of a bone cob. Roasting bone-in corn does not require any seasoning, it is enough to roast it directly on the fire to bring out the flavor of the bone-in corn itself.

After getting the bone-in corn, Sally El lit it and put it on the grill, and Pruno did exactly the same thing as she did.

However, after putting the bone-in corn away, the two diverged in their movements.

Pruno began to process the snake frogs in the order of the full menu, while Sariel skipped the soup and went straight to the white shark meat.

This competition is not only a test of the cooking speed of the chef, but also the understanding of the entire menu.

How to allocate the time wisely, and make time to prepare the ingredients that need to be cooked next, while making the previous dish, will be the key to the success of the two chefs.

To put it bluntly, this game is called Cooking Speed Showdown, and it's not about how much time you spend on each dish, but how much time you save.

Snake frog, capture level 1, amphibian. It has a snake-like body, but its head is similar to that of a frog and has a huge resonance cavity. The liver of the snake frog is a highly nutritious delicacy, but it must be cooked immediately after removal to maintain its delicious taste.

The kitchen knife in Pruno's hand swiped on the snake frog's body, and the intact liver was removed. He put the snake and frog liver into another pot and simmered it directly, and when the water was heated, he began to prepare the seasoning needed for the snake and frog liver soup.

During this period, he also did not forget to turn the bone-in corn on the grill to ensure that the bone-in corn was heated evenly and would not be scorched.

On the other side, Sally El also finished dealing with the white shark.

The white shark is also a catch-level 1 ingredient, but it is much more troublesome to handle than the snake frog. Fresh white shark meat has a great flavor, and if you want to fry it in the pan, you must marinate it with vinegar and cooking wine for a long time to remove the flavor, because Sally Elle believes that the priority of dealing with white sharks should be higher than that of snake frogs.

After dealing with the white shark, Sally El still didn't bother with the snake frog, but cut the crab pork and the tenderloin steak of the white-haired cinderella cow and processed it, and she didn't know what her plan was.

According to the rules of the game, both sides must serve the food in the order of the full menu, which is another constraint on the cooks in the game. It takes a long time to roast bone-in corn, which buys time for the preparation of the ingredients and limits the order of cooking.

The Platinum Apple Smoothie is probably the best of the eight dishes, but even if you make it now, you can't submit it to the judges, so you can only watch it melt away.

……

Under everyone's gaze, Sally El and Pruno finished the appetizer of roasted bone-in corn at the same time, but after submitting the roasted bone-in corn, Pruno submitted the snake frog liver soup, one step ahead of Sally.

At this time, Sally El's snake and frog liver soup was still boiling in the pot.

The referee ruled that Sally Elle was one dish behind, and the giant tray she was on began to decrease in height, followed by the temperature control system on the platform activating and the surrounding temperature began to rise rapidly. It was only a few seconds before Sally El felt a wave of heat hit her. It was already hot enough to stay in front of the stove, but as soon as the temperature around her rose, fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on her.
