USING A CULINARY TOOL TO IMPROVE YOUR COOKING You wouldn't use a hammer to drive a screw. You wouldn't
use a box wrench to drive nails. And you probably wouldn't use your mother's
sewing scissors to trim your hedge. As with any job, there are hundreds
of tools in the culinary arts. Using the right culinary tool is the difference
between a perfectly flipped and filled crepe and a pile of beige gunk
in the frying pan. Culinary tools enhance quality, make cooking more precise,
reduce wasted food, and dramatically accelerate your efforts. There are
tools for virtually every cooking task you can name, and if you're really
dedicated, you may end up inventing one or two yourself.
Consider a garlic press for maximizing the garlic taste and texture out of those cloves of passion. There is nothing like fresh minced garlic for your food and the right culinary tool can help bring that flavour out and into your dish. The Italian sauce is nothing without the right amount of garlic, so using the right culinary tool to bring that out is a great way to impress your style of cooking on to those that may not be familiar with your world of greatness. The garlic press is a great place to start for maximizing your flavour potential, but there is a plethora of other options available to accomplish similar goals. Learning The Tools Using the tools of the trade can help unite your type with the kitchen experts that you long so much to be a part of. Using the right equipment is a great way to masquerade as a member of a team; much like using a hockey stick is a great way to get confused with a hockey player. Through the confusion you can establish a great sense of skill behind the scenes and actualize the assumptions with your own reality: that you can, in fact, cook up a storm with the right culinary tool. The best part of this is that when the chips fall, you will end up being able to aptly demonstrate your own cooking skill with great skill. Having the tools is, of course, not the only way to get over in the kitchen world but it is a good start. If you are the new chef on the block and you show up with a kit filled with several great flashy gadgets, you can prepare yourself for a sense of awe that may be so inspiring so as to actually blind the competition and make them submit to your glory as a well-equipped chef. A culinary tool can get you all kinds of respect in the kitchen that a lesser chef, without the right tools, may not ever get the chance to receive. |
