Chapter 396: Onion Banana
"Some viewers may not know much about these four ingredients, so I will ask Charles to introduce them to us separately. Chrisman turned the conversation to Charles.
The last incident scared Charles so much that his family were adamantly opposed to him appearing on the show again. But seeing that the number of clicks on his online comment column increased more than a hundred times compared to before, Charles was immediately undaunted.
"First of all, let's talk about the multi-layered tomato, which is a newly discovered ingredient that many of the chefs at the scene may not have touched until now, which adds a lot of difficulty to everyone's proficiency.
According to the selection of ingredients in the previous competitions, only Chef Hodge from the Kingdom of Gary used multiple layers of tomatoes in the semi-finals, and that time he successfully cooked ten layers of tomatoes in ten minutes, which is already a remarkable achievement. ”
As a serious commentator, after determining the 100 chefs who participated in the second round, Charles paid special attention to the information of all the chefs, so that he could come with his mouth open when he was hosting, and maintain his erudite image.
At the same time, talking about Hodge's achievements is also a reference for chefs who have not been exposed to multiple layers of tomatoes on the scene, and don't be stupid to make useless attempts.
"Onions and bananas are rarely used because they are difficult to handle. It looks like a banana bunch growing on a tree, but the taste has nothing to do with bananas.
Viscose leeks are also an uncommon ingredient, the juice of this plant has a strong adhesive effect, it is even more powerful than quick-drying glue, and it is impossible to cut it without cutting hundreds of knives in the same position in a row.
The most important thing is that if you don't cut it with the same force in the same place, then it will damage the fiber of the viscose leek and make it very bitter. This is something that you must pay attention to, as the staff will not only test the length of the viscose leek, but also the taste. If there is a bitter taste, it will not be counted in the grade.
The last almond cabbage must have been eaten by everyone. Although it is a vegetable, it has the same aroma as almonds, so it is perfect for garnishing salads. However, this vegetable contains the same high calories as almonds, and people who want to eat it to lose weight can only eat it to get fatter and fatter. ”
At the end, Charles also made a joke with everyone. Because of the limited time, he did not go into too much detail. Of course, even if time permits, he won't say it all, otherwise he won't have to say it after the game starts.
Five minutes passed quickly, and with a shrill whistle, a hundred cooks began to act at the same time. Some went straight to the almond cabbage, while others chose other ingredients.
"At the beginning of the competition, the chefs had already made their choices. Chef Hanzo chose viscose leeks, and Naomi and Merlin made the same choice. Chef Wolfgang and Chef Huang Sanshi chose onion bananas, and Chef Hodge chose multi-layered tomatoes.
Wow, what did we see, the so-called ghost slash Chef Momochi actually chose almond cabbage, does he want to win by quantity and beat the crowd?"
"To be honest, I don't really agree with Chef Hanzo's choice. Charles spoke. It is easy to comment directly on the chef's choice in this way, so in order to show his authority, he must have something to say and let the audience recognize his judgment.
"Why?" Chrisman replied duly.
"Everyone knows that Chef Hanzo is an expert at preparing fish, and the kitchen knife in his hand is also specially made for fish cooking. The requirement for fish meat is to be sharp and thin, so as not to hurt the delicate fish.
Viscose leeks are an ingredient that needs to be cut repeatedly, and the kitchen knife must be in constant contact with the cutting board, and it is likely that there will be problems with the chef's kitchen knife after a long time. Charles spoke his case.
While Charles was speaking, Hanzo had already started cutting the viscose leeks. He spread a bunch of viscose leeks onto the board and quickly cut it.
His hands are like a high-precision lathe, and every drop of the knife is exactly the same as the position of the last cut.
Although the rules require that viscose leeks should not be cut longer than three centimeters, Hanzo does not have a three-centimeter cut. He estimated the length of the whole bunch of viscose leeks and left himself a margin of two millimeters.
In this way, the success rate can be guaranteed, and there will be no embarrassing situation when the cut is too short, not cut and too long when cutting to the end.
Hanzo also knew that his kitchen knife was not suitable for this kind of work, but he had never touched those two high-scoring ingredients, and he was worried about the speed of choosing almond cabbage, so he could only press the treasure on top of the viscose leek.
Hanzo is especially careful when cutting, trying to avoid contact between the blade and the board. It took him 43 seconds to cut a bunch of viscose leeks.
The cut viscose leeks were swept into the food box next to him, and the staff in charge of him took the food box with the number 100 to the other side and sealed it, and then put an empty one next to the board.
Just as Hanzo picked up another bunch of viscose leeks to cut, there was a commotion on the cooking table next to him.
"Oh, Chef Mo Yuan of No. 99 had an accident, and the tears on his face as if he were extremely sad had already been connected. Chrisman said, looking at the abruptly switched camera.
"That's the risk of choosing onion bananas. Charles reminded the audience of the ingredients that Mo Yuan was cooking, "The onion banana must be cut along the fascia regularly, and the fragile cells on both sides of the fascia must not be injured."
When other tissues are injured, a special enzyme is released in the cells, and people who come into contact with this enzyme will cry for 24 hours. Charles gestured with his hand to a 24 gesture.
"Okay, Chef Mo Yuan signaled to the jury that he could continue the competition. What a tenacious chef, let's give Chef Moyuan encouragement with applause. Chrisman led the applause.
The chefs on the scene need absolute concentration, and the applause is actually a distraction for them. However, this link was specially instructed by the organizers, so Chrisman did not have any scruples about bringing the rhythm.
"We can see that Chef Mo Yuan did not choose other ingredients, but still chose onions and bananas, and it seems that he wants to fight with onions and bananas to the end. The chopped onion banana has just been discarded, and like viscose leeks, problems with ingredients do not count towards the overall score. ”
