cyrusabdollahi said:All the top chefs on tv cut with the tip on the board, I think they know what they are doing.
When finely chopping or mincing some foods, such as small bunches of herbs or garlic, the handle may be held in one hand while the other hand rests on top of the blade. The tip of the blade is kept in contact with the cutting board. The blade is rocked up and down until the food is chopped to the desired size.
This knife is generally used on a cutting board by rocking it on its gently curving edge, using the tip as a stationary pivot. Its broad blade keeps knuckles from hitting the cutting board.
Use its back to break chicken bones and scrape foods from the board. Use the flat side for crushing things like garlic.
And Rachel Ray might not be a culinary genious, but the point of her show is to give people ideas on how to combine household ingredients into something different, and to do that quickly. Different shows on the Food Network cater to different types of people. If the network's sole purpose were to train people to be professional chefs, then there would be a lot less people watching it.
My point is u will see people like Ray using the knife incorrectly to chop things. Its quite painful to watch.
I think Jelfish and Cyrus should have their own cooking show. It would be very entertaining!
Exactly my point! She can't even cook the damn food from a can correctly! What an idiot! Who the hell can't spend 1 freakin hour to cook a meal for themselves. Morons, I tell you that show is for morons!She does do some very unwise things just to fit her show in 30-minutes real time. Most of it involves not cooking meat long enough.
Oh andWikipedia - Rachel Ray:
On her television programs she has coined catchphrases such as "E.V.O.O... extra-virgin olive oil" (explained with each use, defeating the apparent purpose of the acronym), "Yum-O!", and "How good is THAT?"[1].
Her signature tool is the santoku chef's knife. She claims to dislike baking desserts and to be notorious for burning bread under the broiler. Ray says her late Sicilian maternal grandfather, Emmanuel Scuderi, served as a strong influence on her cooking. To critics of her shortcut techniques, Ray responds, "I have no formal anything. I'm completely unqualified for any job I've ever had."
It doesn't say if she was only wearing short-shorts.In 2003 she posed for the men's magazine FHM. The New York Times wrote, "The shots feature Ms. Ray in short-shorts with an exposed midriff, licking chocolate off a big wooden spoon, eating a strawberry and sitting in a sink, laughing as suds cascade down her thighs."
