rocketscience-like stuff right there.

[nnsiio]

I'm waiting for the video of where Gordon Ramsay teaches us how to wipe our asses. I've been walking around with a dirty asshole for over 20 years. Why do you keep me waiting, Ramsay?

[yoshi4896]

"If they cut evently, they cooked evently, thats common sense ":D

[smanioidioteque]

@yoshi4896 evently???

[zn0508]

The beginning is like Gordon casts spell and summons all the food to the table LOL

[rexsteiner]

common sense eh? tell that to my girlfriend

[fawkester]

How to cut potatoes into wedges - "Take the potato, and cut it into a wedge shape."

THANKS GORDON

[TheHeavensReject]

Anyone give some advice of choosing red potatoes vs yellow?

I always thought chips/wedges were made of the latter.. :/

[AznViet100]

@TheHeavensReject issue of preference, generally as long as you have a kind of potato that doesn't turn into paste when cooked, those are better for soup, as for taste that is up to you to decide which you like better

[PokeyBessie]

Only Gordon Ramsay can sharpen a knife like that with that strange noise in the background with food popping up on the table and get away with it. I don't know why that makes me laugh every time

[MohoBiechiz]

he looks like hes on crack because of how much and how fast hes moving

[Genukie]

Why is in all his videos he acts like his dying to pee?

[unluckymonkeyboy]

Is he using Wusthof knives?

[Ikaruga102]

@unluckymonkeyboy yes

[studiotk4]

aren't you quartering it then wedging it?

[doordieman]

yeah dat makes sense!

[natureloverdude]

its funny to see him sharpen his knives with that music n those fruits appearing frm nowher :)

[Mani26031981]

BTW, the potatoes he is using are Desiree potatoes, characterised by their red, hard, skin and yellow flesh. I'm not sure how scraping the skin after washing would work here, but it can be given a go!

[Mani26031981]

In my view, I think it's important to take off the skin so that the wedges can be enjoyed in full...there are a number of people who cannot really eat the skin and especially if you're using new potatoes which will have dirt on them they need to be cleaned. I recently cooked some wedges without the skin and they didn't break up at all.

And IF you're using new potatoes, you can clean them, then scrape off the skin with a table knife. The shape is beautifully retained!! Try it and see!!

[goose003]

thats common sense" damn it of course people remember that but wow how he cuts them withouth them moving on him wow of course he best

[Arielbg]

0:37 Wusthof Add

[Bratmedic101]

are the potatoes pre-boiled first?

[t53aod]

how do you cook the fuckers then?

[lZlKing]

@t53aod Preheat oven to 450 degrees, Toss them in olive oil, sprinkle desired seasonings [preferably Black pepper, Paprika and some salt but not too much it will make the flavor too strong] then place them on a pan [not overlapping eachother] and cook the wedges for 20-30 minutes. and you're set.

[lucirz]

man his UK shows are so well done and the cinematography is great, especially during his travel segments on the F-word....unlike the stupid USA shows with Fox's fail editing skills lmao. just watch masterchef usa and you can see how much fox fails at editing.

[LordOmberus]

"That's common sense."

...

"You donkey."

[Haggerstemplates]

That's how i do it anyway. Nice to know.

[radguitar1]

just as he says; "when they're cut evenly...", you can clearly see that at least one is half the thickness of the one beside it

not to critique him, I know he could do better

[justthetruth3]

@radguitar1 How'd your biopsy go?

[chewinggum56]

When he say ''when it cut evenly,it cooked evenly.Thats commonsense.''

(I was like......I really dont know it works that way o.O......)

[mellowman1001]

1 / (Gordon + fractions) = Infinity

[radguitar1]

@mellowman1001

don't you mean;  1/(G+F)= -∞

[radguitar1]

doesn't he mean "each half into an eighth" ?

[BhudhaLovesBudlight]

@radguitar1 no he's cutting each halves into halves

[kches46]

@radguitar1 you mean each quarter into in an eighth" 

[Antiks72]

ah, but different-sized potatoes won't cook evenly ya plonker.

[summerdreams3000]

You got nice tapes on cooking. Thanks for posting them.

[xxxhkh117xxx]

when they are cut evenly, they cooked evenly. thats common sense.

[thasnaps]

how would you cook these wedges? deep fat fry or shallow fry? or bake?

[BtoCtrill]

@thasnaps 0:14

[thasnaps]

@BtoCtrill ahhh. i was dazzled to much by the intro lol

thanks brother

[holysmokk]

who cares?

[aaaaaaaaaa426]

foodlovers, not the kinda people that eat mc donalds everyday.

[SpikeNRoxi]

This was poorly edited. Why couldn't they just leave the camera on potatoes while he was cutting. Too much flashing around.

[besserwiser]

They have to show it's a pro-vid anyhow I didn't have any problems following (and how else can you make chopping potatoes into wedges interesting?)

[Khanstant]

@SpikeNRoxi What? The camera changed to give a better view of what was going on. He's cutting a fucking potatoe into quarters, how can that not be clear?

[SpikeNRoxi]

Get a life.... I posted my comment in the "comments" form and I'm sticking to what my initial thoughts/comments are. Aren't the comment text areas for comments about the VIDEO and not comments about other user comments? Like I said... get a life.

[Khanstant]

I don't know why disagreeing with you and making my own claim about the video necessitates me not "having a life." My comments were actually about the video but that;s besides the point. They give the ability to reply to comments precisely to comment about what others are saying, it's this weird concept: Discussion.

[SpikeNRoxi]

Nevertheless, I still think you need to get a life.

[jdssurf]

I think it just adds some flash for ppl like me. I know what you are saying, however, my personality matches his a bit more than it does with some of these slow and steady cook shows. Not that they are bad, but for some of us our minds are moving a bit more like this video. It just fits. I think your post more so sounded like you were stating a fact but I see it was just your opinion which is fine. His shows have brought me back to cooking a lot, he and Guy from 3D.

[TOIJALANABC]

"Slice in half... and then each half into a wedge... each wedge into a quarter..."

Wait... what? =D

[urbex2007]

he's got a strange idea of what full, half and quarter is.

[Sargentaaron]

lol YUM Quarters

[blu3lant3rn]

How hard is it to cut potatoes

[rennyminou]

Pele - I agree - gross.

There is a scene in The Sopranos where Furio is working in Artie's kitchen at Vesuvio-he smokes a cig, puts it on the pass where he is working, and goes back to pressing mozzarella WITH HIS BARE UNWASHED HANDS. Disgusting.

[ceLisDj001]

eh....ok thanks! =D

[TomValedro]

Wow. who needs this?

[brendansks]

people who don't know how, obviously, its not like we are born knowing all this crap. you'd be surprised what some people do to a potato.

[ncfwhitetigress]

boy is that the truth..

[1DAngus1]

@TomValedro youd be suprised!

[youcreatea]

THATS COMMON SENSE

[keftes1989]

the brand of the knife?

[pele6922]

WUSTHOF: retail price for the set is $525, saw it on sale for $299

[venividibitchy]

You don't NEED a whole set.

An 8"/10" chef's knife, a paring knife, and a bread knife will do more than 90% of the work.

[pele6922]

I like buying sets so I don't have a mismatched kitchen. You can also find less expensive knives than Wustof. It's what you want to spend.

[deviceds]

and then just oil and frie?

[gapchef]

culinary school is for people who wants to be a chef.. people with culinary dreams.. not like you stupid!

[gapchef]

weewoozesty-you are stupid....... useless school??  think twice!

[ozkilim]

wow that is realy amazing i would never be able to do that withought watching this vid

[BrandiBroke2195]

these how to vids are great!

[Lisanab]

seriously ... if you can't figure out how to cut a potato, you probably should not be allowed near knives

[pele6922]

not everyone instantly realizes that equal size helps them cook evenly--seems elementary but many wonder why food is raw in some places or not as done and then you look at their veg or meat and its all different sizes. there are tips and wisdom to pick on in these basic vids.

smokers shouldnt be allowed in kitchens or knives but thats another video: GROSS

[joysweetcandy10]

he's my superb fave chef!

[4digits4d]

the intro is fucking hilarious! lol!

[FlipSnipeZ]

sharpining a knife is funny?

[tiger55331]

@4digits4d

?

[BboyKnoLedge]

yep i agree, culinary school is cool but i would suggest anyone before they dod that, get some expericence in the kitchen. Because alot of things that they teach you in shocl, 70% of the time is not practical in a reall kitchen. Trust me, i had a exective sous chef like chef gordon up my ass all the time, when i was on my internship at a hotel. But hey, now, i learned and now, I am a restaurant chef and i am on my employees, the same way. lol. Chef Gordon ftw!!

[idlefritz]

Seems culinary school is 80% kitchen management, 20% technique. You can learn technique anywhere, but culinary school gives you a taste of ownership without the risk of restaurant closure.

[weewoozesty]

culinary school is useless when most of the skill can be leant through experence without paying some shuck 20-50 thousand dollars.

[orcgrunt89]

fuck you at least we are doing what we love

[MrLlywellyn]

@BboyKnoLedge So true, Culinary school doesn't prepare ppl for the real world kitchen. I went to Le Cordon Bleu for a while and all we did every day was cook traditional French cuisine, the cuisine that took 3 hours to cook, who the fuck these days is going to wait for 3 hours? Not to mention, that shit wasn't even cooked to order back then, it was partially cooked just until about done then held until it needed to be cooked, then cooked the rest of the way. Marco said the same about school.

[Living2TheMax2]

@MrLlywellyn u serious? i was thinking to enroll in that school

mind telling me your experience please?

and was it worth it?

[liveapes]

Amazing youtube just gets beter, i feel so hungry watching these.

[Spliff225]

hmm at college they encourage us to experiment, infact, being creative and unexpected is what makes a good chef isnt it?

[mightywibble]

your right

[pabajay]

What about being self-inspired?

[scott5175]

good video. It's not as simple as that when we try and cut Potatoes at school because the teachers always have their own way of doing it lol.
