Anon, you can't just decide that proven physical effects are memes.

That's right, buddy. If you don't understand it it's just a dumb meme.

So how come I've never seen a professional chef throw their gay little water drops in the pan before cooking?

Because pros know from feel/timing and don't need to check with water.

>Leidenfrost effect is a meme right
Let me tell you a small anecdote:

>Work in lab
>Routine stuff, years of experience with liquid nitrogen, lost respect
>Friday afternoon, already thinking about weekend, only a few more samples to freeze and I'm off
>Normally throw the tubes in the nitrogen can, grab them with my hand and get them out, because it's faster than fishing them out with a ladle or somesuch
>For some reason I get the great idea that this time I will use a glove
>Grab one of the thick cotton gloves people use for the -80
>Put my hand into the liquid nitrogen to grab the samples
>Cotton glove? NO LEIDENFROST FOR YOU FAGGOT!
>The moment the cool sensation hits I realize that I fucked up
>Rip my hand out there so fast I almost tip over the can
>Rip the glove off my hand, fingers already WHITE
>ohshitohfuckohshitohfuck
>Rinsing with water doesn't help, since freeze burns work differently from heat burns
>Nobody saw me, make an entry into the accident book and gtfo
>In the next few hours inner digits begin to throw horrible, large blisters, hurts like a bitch
>Takes weeks to not hurt anymore, have to constantly stretch fingers so the new skin won't be too tight, at one point afraid I might have killed some nerve endings
>Gladly it didn't seem to have done any serious damage, only pictures give any indication that this happened.

tl;dr: Leidenfrost effect is NOT a meme.

So you admit it's based on feel and being exactly within the precise LIEdenfrost effect window doesn't matter

>feel/timing
I'll throw in sound with that. I trained under a 3-star chef, surprisingly chill guy incidentally, who could flawlessly tell from the other side of the kitchen, by sound, when a steak or piece or fish or whatever was just right.
I can pretty much do that too in my own kitchen, but I've got a shitload less interfering noise messing with me there.

>>19601220
Yeah, never cut short on safety even if the other chefs make fun of you about it. I'm glad it didn't do you worse than it did.
Never met him myself, but my aunt, also a chef, worked with a guy who lost his fucking face to boiling oil because he was drunk and in a hurry to finish his shift.

Either OP is genuinely retarded or he's been memeing and acting like a retard. Doesn't really change the fact that he's being retarded though, does it?

>> No.19601321

>>19601277
Whoever said it was precise? When I first started using stainless and didn't know what the fuck I was doing I don't think I ever overheated the pan to the point that the effect no longer happened. It's either hot enough or it isnt.

>> No.19601325

>>19601294
I'm sure this is just bait, but likely someone else will open this thread not knowing how the effect works. If I reply to OP as if he's genuinely just retarded at least someone else can learn something if they want to.

Real things can be memes. Like did you know the Arora Borealis is real? Crazy, I know.

>hot enough or it isn't
So there's no such thing as too hot? Cause if you're too hot, you're objectively no longer in the leidenfrost effect. Thanks for proving me right again.
