/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I mean if youre using three quarter lb burgers yea seems ok

chefs are very salt insensitive. If a chef cooks your food expect it to be on the salty side for most people.

I've always wondered if Gordon genuinely loves burgahs this much or if he makes it because of Americans

>>16821865
looks like a fucking meatloaf sandwich

>>16821865
man this whole video is fucked up

It seems like a fine amount of seasoning. Those are thick patties, and thick buns. Needs all that seasoning.

Way too thick for my tastes, but that's a different issue.

>chefs are very salt insensitive

That's not a thing

>That's not a thing
you've never spoken with good chefs. Palate fatigue is a thing it can also happen when someone only eats processed foods.

>>16822438
fuck off gordon

>>16822473

t. literal retard

professional chefs take care of their palate the way professional tennis players take care of their hands.

And palate fatigue is a very acute, short term thing, that usually only is a concern for taste testers.

The idea that chefs have built up "salt tolerance" is literally just superstition from the fact that restaurant food is usually saltier than homemade food. And that's because homecooks almost always under-season, unless they're fatasses in which case they wildly overseason.

Gordo's burger is definitely not over-seasoned.

Is that why smoking is so common among them you dipshit?

>>16822699
smoking is to deal with the stress of realising you're too old to retrain and you do 11 hour minimum wage shifts while your friends either work 12 hour shifts to become millionaires by 30 or 8 hour shifts for a good life

Says you can't season after you cook, then proceeds to do just that. What a hypocritical ass.

Fucking retard thinks we're talking about coke snorting, alcoholic, binge smoking line cooks at Applebees.

>>16822699
don't forget the coke and booze overdose

Disgusting looking burger desu

>>16822438
Salt and fat are the two greatest magic tricks that a chef can possess. Westerners are conditioned to be so turned off by salt and fat that when it smacks them in the stomach they orgasm immediately and smoke a cigarette.

People who cook for themselves aren’t fooled, but let’s be honest: most westerners don’t cook for themselves.

Post the one when he seasons the crisps.

>>16823612

>>16823613
Still as painful to watch as the first time.

professional chefs use a lot of salt because they work with almost exclusively fresh ingredients. a home cook might use a lot of canned/preserved ingredients with salt added, so if they were imitating gordon ramsay's use of salt it might come out tasting too salty for them
although in the case of this video most home cooks would probably be using fresh ingredients for this as well, gordon's just using a lot of salt because those are huge patties

>>16824288
Yep, gotta really season those fresh fritos or else you just won't taste the frito >>16823613

>>16822691
>lies: the post

>>16823754
At least he finally got the cheese to melt.

>>16821865
The secret to "fancy" (aka French) cooking is to use a shit ton of butter. But you can't put a shit ton of butter on a hamburger so Gordon is doing the closets thing, using cheese and a shit ton of salt.

>>16824334
Never say never.

>>16821865
It looks fucking raw. Make it again. Red team you're on fucking thin ice!!!!

>>16823613
Wtf did he put salt on sodium-saturated junk food ?

>>16821865
This is the video that made me realize Gordon Ramsay is a hack
