In the face of the various high-pressure tasks released by Dai Zangqing, everyone's faces were the same embarrassed, and Sikong Yao turned out to be one of them, and when she saw the content of the task card she gave, her face also changed slightly.

The task assigned by Dai Zangqing to Sikong Yao turned out to be to whip the cream and beat fifty catties of cream, and the requirement was - hand beating!

When he saw this task, Sikong Yao didn't slow down for a long time, and the task arranged by Dai Zangqing was too scary.

Although cream is one of the indispensable and important elements of desserts, even some senior pastry chefs may not be able to fully understand the concept of cream. It is a dairy product made from a layer with a high milk fat content on top of raw milk before homogenization.

This is because after raw milk has been left for a while, the less dense fat will float to the top layer. In industrial manufacturing processes, this step is usually done by a separator centrifuge. In many countries, cream is graded according to its fat content. The common whipping cream and fresh cream in the domestic market actually refer to animal cream, that is, cream extracted from natural milk.

It is precisely because of the addition of separator centrifuges that some derivatives continue to breed, and the controversy caused by this has always been a major problem in the dessert industry.

In terms of type, cream is divided into animal cream and non-dairy cream.

As the name suggests, animal butter is obtained from the separation of fats from milk. Vegetable butter, on the other hand, is made from vegetable oils such as soybeans, water, salt, and milk powder.

In terms of taste, animal butter tastes better, but the use of non-dairy cream is more extensive, usually most of the desserts we can buy in cake shops use vegetable cream, one is more than half of the calories than general animal cream, and the other is that the cost is also low, but because vegetable cream is a mixture of hydrogenated vegetable oil, starch hydrolysate, some protein components and other food additives, it contains a large number of trans fatty acids, and long-term consumption has certain harm to the heart. And the digestion cycle is as high as 50 days. There is an international consensus on the dangers of vegetable cream.

Compared with. Animal butter is a type of fat derived from milk, which has a purer taste than vegetable cream, but has a high fat content, which is also not in line with modern healthy eating concepts. Although it has the advantage of a natural and fragrant taste. But it's better to eat less. so as not to gain weight or increase cholesterol.

Therefore, no matter what the moment of cream, it is actually not advisable to consume too much. However, the charm of cream is inseparable, in contrast, animal cream is more absorbable than vegetable cream.

In many countries, cream is divided into different grades according to its fat content, and the common whipping cream and whipped cream in the domestic market in China actually refer to animal cream, that is, cream extracted from natural milk.

This is because after raw milk has been left for a while, the less dense fat will float to the top layer. In the industrial production process, this step is usually done by a separator centrifuge, and the so-called whipping of cream is to mix the liquid cream into the air by stirring and rotating, so as to affect the structure of the food molecules, so that the liquid cream becomes the edible or decorated cream we see.

And the task assigned by Dai Zangqing to Sikong Yao is to whip the cream.

There are many ways to whip cream, and the degree of whipping is different depending on the use, but the most shy thing is to overdo it.

Since cream is not a natural food, but a semi-processed product after extracting oils and lotions from milk, the result of overwhipping will cause the separation of oil and water.

Under normal circumstances, although the whipped cream has a certain tension, and only the cream in the mixing basin is curdled in the mixing basin, if you accidentally overwhip it, the cream will begin to decompose and become a more viscous okara-like and fishy emulsion, which is called oil-water separation.

A serving of 200 grams of cream generally takes only five minutes when whipped, of course, this is when using a machine, and if it is beaten by hand, it is a different matter.

Cream is not only widely used in desserts, but also in some dishes, and some experienced chefs have used cream in more or less cooking, the most common being the blending of white sauce.

Due to the widespread use of cream, there is a saying in the culinary world that anyone who can whip cream by hand is a monster.

The speed of an electric whisk is about 15 revolutions per second, and the speed of hand beating is obviously not up to this level, so the time required should not be underestimated.

If there are people who have used an electric egg beater, they will know that the egg beater will be slightly hot after five minutes of operation, and its power can be seen, and it is necessary to replace electric energy with artificial, so when Sikong Yao learned that his task was to beat fifty catties of cream by hand, his mood also fell to the valley all of a sudden.

This is a double test of physical strength and skill, Sikong Yao has never tried to make cream by hand before, and this task can be said to have stumped her all at once.

Knowing that his mission was such a terrible thing, Sikong Yao could also understand why everyone's faces were so ugly before.

This sudden heavy training made everyone fall into silence, and the atmosphere became solemn, Dai Zangqing also smiled in order to ease everyone's emotions: "The tasks I set for you are of the highest standard, in fact, you only need to complete half of them." ”

As soon as they heard Dai Zangqing's words, everyone's mood improved slightly, and their workload was cut by half, although Sikong Yao was still facing the amount of twenty-five catties of cream, that is, one hundred and twenty-five two hundred kilograms, roughly estimated, including the necessary rest time, it might take nearly ten hours of time.

Thinking of this, Sikong Yao's eyes suddenly darkened, and the future was bumpy, but before she could adjust her heart, Dai Zangqing continued: "But I hope you can treat yourself with the highest standards, I believe that when you see this amount, you will feel incredible, and some people will even think that I am too much." But what I'm telling you is that if you're a chef in a restaurant now, you'll know that it's really insignificant! ”

Dai Zangqing put away the smile on his face, obviously because he was not very satisfied with the performance of the new members, and he said in a slightly stern tone: "Think about it, is it difficult for you to make five hundred portions of sugar without throwing it?" If you run a restaurant now, how much money can you make with 250 servings of sugar? Only a thousand pieces at most. Does that sound like a lot? Then don't you calculate the rent and utilities? And do you think any kind of store can sell this sales of candy? No matter how good your store's reputation is, if the location is not right, there will still be no customers. The better the location, the more expensive the rent, and the wear and tear of the equipment has been packaged, and you have to hire someone to collect the money for you, all these factors are calculated, how much more can you pay? ”

Dai Zangqing's words made everyone fall into silence, admitting that at today's prices, if a restaurant receives less than 100 guests a day, it is basically waiting to close, and if it attracts less than 200 guests, the life of the owner of the restaurant will also be very poor.

The twenty-five catties of cream that Sikong Yao has to face are converted into European-style standard pounds, that is, more than twenty-eight pounds, if it is made into a cake, counting the cake embryos, the long can only supply forty two-pound fruit cakes, and the profit of a cake is only about twenty yuan, so Sikong Yao may not even be able to pay the shop rent.

Thinking about it this way, I also felt that Dai Zangqing's task arrangement was planned, Sikong Yao silently accepted this request, and instead of complaining, it was better to devote more time to training.

Immediately afterwards, Dai Zangqing explained: "If you reach half of the task, you will be considered qualified, but if you can be more ruthless to yourself and push yourself to work harder, I will convert the excess part into cooking points for you according to the proportion, and those who complete the task at the full limit can receive five hundred points." ”

Five hundred points is equivalent to half a month's subsistence allowance, this news is undoubtedly also an encouraging trick, hearing this reward, the gloom on many people's faces has also dissipated a little, after all, if there is a reward, you can also be motivated to do things.

In order to get these five hundred points, Sikong Yao decided to set his goal on fifty catties of cream, although it was a big challenge, but Sikong Yao would not back down easily.

At this time, Liu Ke leaned over again, and when he saw the task card in Sikong Yao's hand, he also joked: "I remember you said that you are a pastry chef, right?" The task given to you by the head of the regiment is really easy. ”

Hearing the word relaxed, Sikong Yao's face changed slightly, glared at Liu Ke, and said, "You don't know how difficult this is. ”

Liu Ke shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not cool words, you don't know, a senior sister also learned desserts last year, do you know how much she has?" ”

"How much?" Sikong Yao choked up slightly, and asked a little suspiciously, but Liu Ke's answer made Sikong Yao's eyes suddenly erect into a line-eighty! (To be continued......)
