5 star uptight French restaurants still use them for appearance purposes on crudités and sides. Fluting a mushroom is just as bad and annoying. Get a birds beak knife. It will make tourné a hell of a lot easier.
Birds beak? My chef calls it a peeling knife. Still a bitch. After three days of tourne-ing potatos though, we finally got to make a potato soup with asiago. Delicious.
We did a week of potatos, carrots, and other root vegetables. We never got to cook with them. They utilized them in the main kitchen to serve.
Had to do Julienne potatoes blindfolded in under 1 minute. I loved my Instructors <3

I think I'd lose my fingers.
All of them.
And yeah, most of the stuff we've cut just goes into the public cooler.
Even though we havent been cooking, we can always snag goodies from other classes. Today I got to try apple fritters with frozen custard and caramel sauce. Delicious.
That's how it was at my school. The bakers building was the place to hit up after school. They always had things to give away.Quote:
