Plating thread

[Anonymous No.7985990]

Hey guys I just started getting into cooking and want to know the finer points of plating. Any tips would be great

[Anonymous No.7985996]

Mix all the good together into a diarrhea amalgamation. Serve immediately.

You should learn to cook before worrying about plating...

[Anonymous No.7986027]

Height+color.

Plates shoud be plain circle or square preferably white. Try to avoid gimmickyou shit like the chicken tender wheel thing in the op image.

I thought the wheel was cute and would be nice especially if sharing the plate. Obviously I would need better sauce distribution if that plate was being shared

Looks good to me, and you could fit a ketchup triangle inbetween each one and a little ketchup circle in the middle

That's why I am here asking for advice you dip

[Anonymous No.7986194]

>>7986160
Well, then start by actually cooking food instead of plating up frozen Tyson chicken tenders and thinking you're fancy, dip.

I mean, what the fuck? Are you that deluded?

[Anonymous No.7986217]

>>7986194
The presentation isn't bad tho, is it? I didn't have a lot to work with so I made the most out of my empty cupboards

[Anonymous No.7986279]

>>7985990
Make it look nice, full stop.
For that dish, I would put the sauce in a small ramekin.
Parsley always helps, or something like pickles or olives.

Rule #1 of asking for advice:
don't be defensive when you get corrected.
>Got it. Thanks
is all you need to say.

[Anonymous No.7986565]

>>7986524
That's bullshit. If you ask for advice and someone impugns your fantastic achievements, that person should be told that they are the ones that need advice.

That star plating I just 3 well placed pieces of chervil away from 2 Michelin stars. Its objectively more interesting than anything Grant Achatz has ever shat out of his "kitchens"

Op, that plating I spot on. Keep doing you and don't let the jealous haters drag you down.

[Anonymous No.7986590]

well for starters the plate in your pic is way too small, for small portions and circular foods, the circle plate works, but for those tenders or anything long with more than 3, you need a rectangle plate. line all 5 up then sauce on side with garnish.

Nope.

Thanks for the constructive feedback

[Anonymous No.7986687]

>>7986678
yeah no problem, you want things to look clean and uncluttered and sides to have a certain distance apart from each other. if you run out of space you could always stack as well. like a tender pyramid, if theres multiples of something always make sure theyre an odd number as well unless theyre small like nuts and peas.

[Anonymous No.7986720]

>>7986675
It does.

[Anonymous No.7987337]

>>7986720

That's shadow you fucking mong.

[Anonymous No.7989116]

>>7987635
it's clearly a stain. Buy some new plates that weren't designed in the 70's

[Anonymous No.7989246]

>>7989116
why? do they make your food taste better? i thought you fucks loved old cast irons and wooden spoons

[Anonymous No.7989604]

>>7989246
no it doesnt, but this is a plating thread, you won't make the food look aesthetic with such shitty plates

[Anonymous No.7989672]

- oversized wares
- odd numbers, esp. 3's
- triangles are good.

- Otherwise who gives a fuk unless you're getting paid to do so or tryna get laid.

it's a meme you dip

[Anonymous No.7989871]

I prefer the utilitarian style of plating
