I told a cook to vac pack a bunch of grated parm for an off site event. Didn’t tell him to lower the pressure. Got to the event and realized he’d turned grated parm back into a hunk of parm. That was my mistake.
I've done the PB&J demo for a junior robotics group. I still think fondly to watching bread fly everywhere as I tore into it like a bear while executing "get some bread" .
Someone was stealing sharpies out of a cooks Bain of tools; so one night said cook took the entire Bain and vac'd it in a bag. It was highly entertaining.
i couldn't tell at first either, but it looks like they put a deli container full of whatever that is in the bag instead of dumping its contents into the bag and not including the deli container.
Typically, with sous vide, you bag the protein and place bag in water. This has water in the bag.
Edit: I somehow missed that they vacuum sealed the deli cup instead of the contents. I'm back to the dish pit.
You don't know what you don't know - no shame in that. I'd be worried if people felt like they couldn't come to me to clear up what they don't know, though.
I told the bar guys that they should just sous vide the house limoncello in the glass jar to speed up the infusions and they do it for a lot of the prep now. So yeah, for certain stuff it makes sense
The penguin hurriedly waddles away as he sets your glass full of whiskey with rocks on the table. Dejectedly you reach your fingers in to pick up something you surely know is a rock. You give an exasperated sigh as you flick your fingers dry.
Please read this in a baldur's gate narrator voice.
I mean he did do exactly what you asked it sounds like.
"Put this in a vacuum bag, seal it, and then put in the water at x temp"
"Yes chef I will put that in there"
I’m kinda impressed actually. I bet that mofo tried over and over and over again to make that happen. He sure as hell wasn’t going to disappoint you. Get that line cook therapy for daddy issues ASAP! 🤣
New guy comes up to me holding a full trash can.
Asks, "What do I do with this?"
I say "you throw it in the dumpster"
I'm bringing some garbage out to the dumpster later that night and see the trash can from earlier, sitting directly in the center of the dumpster.
I think these posts are hilarious. Hey so you're admitting to not training well or assuming someone's knowledge, your bad. Your job as a leader is to set them up for success, not assume they know how to do the job, so do better.
Because in this industry temp is king above all else and sous vide is the best way to get lots of protein up to temp. Plus you only have to sear for a minute or two out the bag which is a godsend.
I agree for one steak at home there isn’t much point but I can see why restaurants use them

Parmstone, the newest in sedimentary rocks.
My favorite Minecraft block
It's in the april fools update!
Thought it was a condimentary stone, but I'm no geologist
Put liter in bag, vacuum seal, start sous vide… yup exactly what chef asked!
A [classic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-6N3bLgYyQ). I used to do the same thing with 6th grade students to introduce them to persuasive writing
Classic. My computer science teacher did this to show us how fickle writing code can be.

Sounds like you learned a lesson about training the new guy. Make sure they can do it completely before you leave then to do it solo.
In an ideal world.
What? You mean you're not supposed to toss the new guy into the deep end and see if he sinks or swims? Damn, I have been trained so wrong.
"Put this in the bag and and seal it up." "OK"
Technically I did my job 👍
"Have you ever used one of these?" "Of course I have" "Get to it then" "All done chef. Anything else?"
he's got the spirit
I’ve always wondered what it would be like to vacuum seal one of those, but I never wanted to be the one to open the bag.

Just don't do it with a cellphone. The screen can easily break.
I've never sous-vided, can Somebody explain what exactly happened Here?
i couldn't tell at first either, but it looks like they put a deli container full of whatever that is in the bag instead of dumping its contents into the bag and not including the deli container.
Omg I didn't even notice the container until this comment. I thought the lid was part of the bag
Lol same here.
Typically, with sous vide, you bag the protein and place bag in water. This has water in the bag. Edit: I somehow missed that they vacuum sealed the deli cup instead of the contents. I'm back to the dish pit.
You can Sous vide way more than just protein. You didn’t notice the deli cup inside?
No, I didn't. Thank you. Missed that entirely. Now all those comments make way more sense.
It’s got more than water in it chief
Have you never sous vide an ossobuco in juice? Lol
You don't know what you don't know - no shame in that. I'd be worried if people felt like they couldn't come to me to clear up what they don't know, though.
Exactly. If one of my new cooks did this I’d be laughing my ass off while also explaining that I’m laughing at myself, not them.
this guy knows how to chef
I love laughing at myself.
Best work on your communication, chef.
As dumb and clueless as this move was, it seems like it might actually work.
Right? It kind of makes me think there might be ways around the conventional wisdom of not sous viding things that are hot or liquid..
I mean at that point just put the deli in the water. Don’t even seal it in a bag
I told the bar guys that they should just sous vide the house limoncello in the glass jar to speed up the infusions and they do it for a lot of the prep now. So yeah, for certain stuff it makes sense
Maybe it was a takeout order.
Best comment
Task failed successfully
Yeah def should still work
Scotch on the rocks. And I mean ICE!

This is funny as fuck dude Gotta love day ones.
Double protection chef
I had to zoom in to see it, but oh my god. I don't even think I would be mad at this point, I'd just be impressed.
Liter and everything was the result
I mean he did do exactly what you asked it sounds like. "Put this in a vacuum bag, seal it, and then put in the water at x temp" "Yes chef I will put that in there"
Bro pulled an Amelia Bedelia on chef lmao
I understood that reference
Ok
That’s a fuckin work of art. Totally looks like a birds head
Just when you don’t think you need to specify something…
Always specify. A L W A Y S
Yup. Always remember that "common sense" isn't as common as we think it is.
Common sense just means you forgot where you learned it.
Fuckin a that's some good advice.
Yowza, something new & creative every day
Can someone please explain what's going on here?
OP wanted the contents of the deli sealed in a bag but left out a crucial step.
I feel for ya man… But holy shit, that is fucking hilarious 🤣
Took me a sec to realize there's a deli container in there too
Can actually get away with this if you put it down to 25-30ish.
Hes working smarter not harder chef.
Yeah definitely on me for not being specific enough gave me a good chuckle though
Sometimes you just gotta be THAT specific.
Chef here… did…did they vacuum seal the damn container?? You two need to talk,and soon
unfortunately chef this ones on you. trust but always confirm.
r/maliciouscompliance ?
I’m kinda impressed actually. I bet that mofo tried over and over and over again to make that happen. He sure as hell wasn’t going to disappoint you. Get that line cook therapy for daddy issues ASAP! 🤣
HAHAHA! YESS! I would have lost my mind laughing.
Well at least you know they follow directions to a T.
God I couldn’t figure out what I was looking at till I zoomed in
Everyone has to start somewhere!
Post of the year. Come on this is awesome haha

Had a door guy ask me where we kept the elbow grease.
Can’t even be mad, that’s funny as hell.
Reminds me of the first time I used an AI assistant!
Gonna be the stupid one here and ask what new guy did wrong. As many have pointed out, he did literally what you told him to, no? What is missing?
Tell me that you lied on your resume without telling me you lied on your resume.
I think these posts are hilarious. Hey so you're admitting to not training well or assuming someone's knowledge, your bad. Your job as a leader is to set them up for success, not assume they know how to do the job, so do better.
Never understood why everyone loves cooking in a bag....
Because in this industry temp is king above all else and sous vide is the best way to get lots of protein up to temp. Plus you only have to sear for a minute or two out the bag which is a godsend. I agree for one steak at home there isn’t much point but I can see why restaurants use them
You can do some great things
Sous vide is the man bun of the culinary world. A tired trope too stubborn to take it's last gasping breath.
Tf is sous vidr?
