I could filet the salmon. Not as clean or fast but pretty close.

That's how scallions are sold....

That's how scallions are sold....

true, but I don't usually keep the band on AND that technique can be used for other veggies

 

[UglyCasanova]

That was neat, thanks for posting.

I wonder what kind of knife that is?

Looks like high carbon steel. If it is that knife must be cleaned and dried right after use so it doesn't rust as it's not stainless. In the first video I can do everything he did right up until 2:25.

 

[Blackjack200]

Why didn't he just put the scallions in a food processor?

I can do that with an onion, celery, carrots, radishes...etc. That's a seriously sharp knife to do that with the cucumber skin though.

Speaking of technique mastery, I can't get over Pepin deboning a chicken.

It would utterly destroy them. A sharp chef's knife with the right skill is just as fast, makes for much less cleanup and doesn't smash them to pieces flinging the essential oils, juices, flavor and nutrients all over the place. You might as well take a hammer to them.

Now if you want to puree them, that's another matter.

Short answer: You didn't just ask that did you?
Thanks for reading the long answer first.

should he be wiping the food into the bowl with the rag like that?
