How to cut up variety of vegetables, Martin Yan Part2

[the18Ting]

i'd like to believe that the audience was just being shy at the very beginning.

[UrFaceIshUgly]

This guy is a genius!

[shithappens17]

kae so this audience sucks balls

[ihatelovesongtoday]

this is The Chinese chef's knife . Although the Chinese chef's knife looks much like the cleavers familiar in butcher shops in Europe and North America, Chinese chef knives are much thinner in cross-section and are intended more as general-purpose kitchen knives, as a chef's knife. A Chinese chef's knife is mostly used to slice boneless meats, chop, slice, or mince vegetables, and to flatten garlic bulbs or ginger, while also serving as a spatula to carry prepared ingredients to the wok.

Can you do do the some skills with the pepper red , green and yellow etc

[XMetalChefX]

anything used for cutting vegetables should have a TOOTHY like edge, and not sharpened to be smooth or it wil ahve no bite to it. Thats prob why he cant cut the apple without moving it a bit, because the edge is so smooth.

"you can design your own vegetable"

[TheCrustiCroc]

omg the mushroom slice was soooo fcking cool o.O

[fullstrutn]

I could sense his frustration !!

[JAMTBG]

okay, im almost every single video, theres some guy talking in the back ground.. who is that? Kinds sounds like hes being rude towards martin yan..

[kommisar]

What's he mean by "downward, forward"? All I can see is him slicing downward....

[yukipham18]

@kommisar he probably meant "downward, UPWARD"

[kommisar]

I was thinking about it and I think he may be going forward just a little. If I'm right, it's very subtle. Take another look and see what you think.

[fdesa12]

@kommisar slice with the motion of going downward and forward. Any knife only shows its sharpness by a slicing motion, not a chopping motion.

Analogy: you can hold a knife with the blade on your palm and squeeze and it won't cut through your hand to the bone very easily. But if someone pulls on it while you're grasping the blade, your hand will slice open much more easily.

[fdesa12]

@kommisar He's actually slicing down in a slightly forward motion. 

[lucirz]

just fucking pro...prooo

[chachakencha]

hoply..

somebody can tell me about saving the world with no more wasting food.

[denalerner]

wow this guy wqas a riot, where did this happen?

[j4m35k4n9]

what cleaver did he use?

from solingen germany

[wywoo225]

He uses his own designed cleavers. I think you can order from his home page.

Thanks for visiting from Germany.

[FlipSnipeZ]

Yeah you can order on his website, im on it now :)

[Chemicalkinetics]

j4m35k4n9 and all, Martin Yan has teamed up with different cutlery companies. He first teamed up with Dexter-Russell (American) and then with Messermeister (German).  There are several version of his signature knives, but I do not like his latest version because the knife has too much belly. He said it in his official statement that it is combine a French chef's knife with a traditional Chinese chef's knife, but this merger makes the knife a poorer slicer.

[paulelastic]

@j4m35k4n9

It's a discontinued Messermeister.

[Platformer]

@j4m35k4n9 it's not about the cleaver, it's about how often you sharpen it

i am a retired professional chinese chef. sharpening knifes is a daily routine when you work in a kitchen. i've held culinary classes for housewifes and chinese cooking enthusiasts. i always told them to bring their own chinese cleavers from home at lesson 101 then show them how to sharpen them. in a kitchen, sharpening a knife is like soldiers cleaning their guns everyday

[visualkei72]

i am so fucking pissed at this audience.

Martin Yan was my cooking hero when i was growing up and ditching school. whenever i was sick or skipping class, i'd go home and boom, there he was dropping lame but funny jokes and cooking up a storm with style.

if i was in this audience, i'd be the most enthusiastic person, i'd be on my feet getting a chant on. this man is amazing and i wish he had more recognition.

they really need to release some DVD's or something.

[wolvekit]

Why have I never seen this guy before... he's brilliant! =D

[SLClassic]

Thanks for uploading this video, do you have any episodes of "Yan can Cook"? if you do. can you please upload it?

Thanks again

[wywoo225]

I don't have it right now. May be in the future.

[AgenteMadreo]

this guy is amazing

[MrISIB]

yeah he is very funny and charismatic.

But growing up in the restaurant business, his cutting skills aren't anything eye popping for me.

[MrMharries]

eye popping, see my videos mate, and please comment
