Gordon Ramsay made a show about teaching prisoners how to cook so they have a skill for when they get out. He’s one of the good ones!
eh his character is very hostile and abusive to workers & he kinda spawned a subgenre of "cooking show" that amounts to harrassing min wage workers for a tv audience's amusement
idk how staged his show was or what his off-camera behaviors like so i wont necessarily blame him specifically but he occupies a kind of toxic space in the public consciousness
Didn't it originally start with him harassing restaurant owners? Then all the American shows that followed were of course aimed at harassing the staff in a highly competitive environment
I really only know of him from kitchen nightmares. I’ve heard he’s very nice off screen but maybe working for him would suck.
thanks for the cw, wouldnt want to accidentally see gordon ramsay
(not a serious statement i think he's ok)
Just be like me and dice up the onion through the tears then run out of the room screaming like you've been maced and cry into a towel every time you cut onions, and i fucking love onions
I love onions so much, and cutting one in half (not even diced!) yesterday caused tears to stream down my cheeks. Sacrifice for our art
Nope. But other things do!
The crying is from vapors that basically create sulfuric acid in your eyes. To reduce that, you can decrease the amount of vapor released or prevent released vapor from getting in your eyes.
Two good tricks for releasing less vapor;
-
Use a sharp knife. Dull knives clobber more cells, releasing vapor.
-
Avoid the butt until the very end. It's got more of tge irritant.
Three tricks for reducing it getting to your eyes:
-
Cut in a well-ventilated space or even outdoors. Open a window, turn on a fan. It'll disperse the bad stuff.
-
Light a candle right next to the cutting board. This only kind of works and i kinda wonder if it's only because it creates a convection current, so same as having a little fan.
-
Wear goggles. This definitely works but i personally don't do it (I just open a window). For people who really hate onion eyes.
vapors that basically create sulfuric acid in your eyes
well that sounds way more metal
-
no i still cry every night before bed
all jking aside it apparently helps with it because you don't pierce the bulb/thing that makes you cry until the very end
Use a wet knife. Give the onion a brief rinse before the final 'into tiny bits' cuts.
I usually cut them in half and rinse under cold water while bending them a bit so the water can get in between layers. I believe putting them in the fridge for a couple hours before cutting also reduces/eliminates the crying.
This looks super useful and I'm definitely going to try when I get home tonight.
That said, what I love about Gordon Ramsay videos is how it's the go to for any younger guy who wants to learn how to cook but doesn't have much time. I've literally had three different men cook me the eggs from his scrambled eggs video.
Ragusea is one of my favorites too, his approach to cooking is to keep it simple. So most of his stuff is dumbed down and skips fancy steps that only effect presentation. Man's got the one pan dinners figured out too.
yup keeping the root to hold things in place is such a huge help
I do this all the time too. But IMO the horizontal cuts are unnecessary, because well the onion is already layered.
So it's just more work for little effect.
