The Blindfolded Chef`s Crazy knife Skills

[ChefRVallin]

Try watching Anthony Bourdain Knife skill videos....... not being a hater. Just change your teaching habits so its not trying to show off.

[MegaRemoc]

Incredibly poor way to teach someone to chop an onion. The way you hold your knife worries me.

[ChefRVallin]

@MegaRemoc yep..... every time i have taught a new person to chop/dice a onion i have never done it that fast so they cant what i can doing.... i also tell them speed will come when you get more control with your knife... and also by cutting your onion middle of the onion it insures all your onion pieces are the same size... In my honest opinion i don't like this teaching style.

[TFIHarry]

At 2:08 you say 'make sure your index finger is out further than your other fingers are'. I just like to point out that your middle, not index, finger is actually sticking out furthest. Hope your other videos/DVD's are more accurate. Good vid otherwise.

Also, did debchefq ever respond to the he/she laid down or just wimped out?

[UrbanAssault5150]

Cool but the way I prep at work I cut in half the take the middle structure out so its a nice cut

[honger1]

just cut the damn onion could have been a 30 sec video

[underpedz818]

why would you cut off the root end if thats gonna make it bleed and make you cry like a baby?????

[underpedz818]

he is blinking like crazy because he cut off the root! hahahaah

[MsOhayoOhio]

people sure are mean…i thought this was effective and efficient

[ibelonginaloonybin]

i hope he dosent become a seciral killer

[simolui]

i can masturbate blindfolded, beat that!!!

[Petegrin1]

I dont see the hard thing.. I cant do that but as a chef you do that like a million times a day. So after a weak you should be able to do that. And maybe a extra day of practise and you will be Way better than this braging person.. Im really sure that if you go to Any Good restaurant in this world the chef will be able to do this EASELY.

So i really dont see the reson to put this up to youtube for braging

[ray85k]

That's not how you cut a fucking onion. My chef would take my knife and ram it up my ass if he saw me doing this dumb shit.

[MsOhayoOhio]

@ray85k how do you do it

[bebesheree]

Hello sir I'm a chief cook in a ship going vessel, in my opinion spending more than five minutes for you to show simple cutting tecnique is to much, a grade schooler can pick your instruction in just les 1 minute, together with a short clip, and cutting vegies while youre talking to someone or somebody beside you in the kitchen is not to different doing it blind folded,, this video is for a 6 year old kids..

[dvliman]

anything else i already know how to do?

[mayaenbrooklyn]

well , thats suck. i m better than u .and faster . yo soy mejor que tu y mucho pero mucho mas rapido. i am better and faster so much faster than u even blind .

[PNS223]

cut the f***ing onion already!!

[GooseHinson]

You sure can slice onions.  But can you speak in a even cheesier tone?

[JuPp3]

This is actually so soooo easy!

I do think I'm about as fast as this guy. Theres no challenge intended, just needed to say that thise guy should spend more time while thinking of new recipes.

But that's just my opinion on it.

Oh, and evrybody can handle a knife blindfolded. I do it to amuse guests (I work in a semi open kitchen) when they look trough the window into the kitchen. ;-)

[itsallherebaby]

3:50

No need to thanks me.

[swainston1]

TIP,you leave the 1/4 inch root end on,then you go ahead and do the rest the same way you just did,after you will end up with the root and very little waist,and also skin comes off just as easy with root on.

[timwaltham]

YOU DESTROY ONIONS FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT. SHAME ON YOU

[sebmeikle]

I've been using that technique since I first started cooking. That's nothing new. No offence to your chef skills, your more experienced than me. I'm just saying.

[discrepancy666]

sorry but, my mum told me how to slice onions like this when i was about 8 years old... wheres the craziness?

[retrotw]

ur middle finger...not index...

[Dupregaming]

Let me start with this is no way to treat the kitchen.. This video would have been perfect had he sliced his damn finger off being stupid .... This video will just make people with no knife skills cut their fingers off......

[juicec03]

I thought this was called Knife SKILLS. I can tell your onion peices are not identical and even. If I did that my chef would throw me out of my kitchen. Then you have the balls to do it blindfolded like you're badass? Try Brunoising 5lbs of onions making sure every peice looks identical then upload a video about skill.

[silvermediastudio]

Notice how far he chokes up on that knife. That's what gives him so much control over the blade.

[KenywithD]

Ass hole tryin to sho off

[NZARMY16]

u shud be ashamed. wearing a blindfold is not safe at all

[peeweesherman]

It's the Stephan Bonnar of the kitchen!

[P5TRFMPPT5]

gay



[hasratroyhana]

ya few sec...3.30mins

[sowjanya2385]

nice

[m713x]

So... the secret to not crying while peeling onions is blindfolding yourself? Sounds dodgy, but I'll give it a try.

[liefur]

i hope you're a better cook than actor

[immarnel]

mario why u have to cook ur a plumber

[UDONTKNOWMEPEAPLE]

You suck mario

[ntcremoroza]

it's not that impressive

[cha0tic]

Blindfold begins at 3:50.

[jakeboy588]

red onions dont make u cry as much as white

[c2thedub14]

question.

if you specialize in garde manger, why do you take such a long time cutting? i only spent a month in garm, and i can go about 1.5 times that speed. it may be because you're doing a demo, i dont know, but it just seems weird. also, cross cuts get it even more precise.

also, odd knife choice. most garm chefs/kids ive seen go for more expensive looking knives, like globals, shuns, etc.

[PyroFiend94]

its not hard to do as long as you do it right. you have to keep the flat part above finger tips against theknife so you can always know where the knife is, but his consistancy is amazing hes pretty awesome

[l0b5t3r4u]

This idiot is an arrogant prick.... nice brunoisse fuckwit. 1 quarter inch dice? you gonna stick those pieces up your ass and see what they feel like, i hope your customers enjoy ur raw onion testicle sized onions in there salad.

[manwich007]

i am only an amateur chef, but it seems wrong to me when you drag your knife across the cutting board, blade down like that. anyone?

[soigj]

@manwich007 no? it is perfectly fine to drag the blade, you do it when chopping forward as well

[Krono19]

@soigj dragging the blade dulls the knife. herp derp

[soigj]

@Krono19 So it dulls the blade, ok? using your knife in general will dull the blade, what was your point?

[zsollose]

soo bud skills OMG.if enyone gets impressed buy this guy it says much about you. this guy has skills HIRO TERADA Basic cutting skills 

[MrJayel27]

Yeah,good,..although any chef could do that due to chopping being 90% feel.Nice try though and well done for blowing smoke up your ass and making yourself look like a protentious twat on the internet lol.Oh,and its amazing how much slower you went when you were blindfolded,duh

[locojuan11]

Make sure you dont chop that finger off..Chef.

[Mapanda]

Thank you for sharing chef!! I will try it at my next cook time with onions!!

[teacherfood]

Yes, well thats all fine and a good tip if you want to spend more time peeling onions. If you really want to reduce eye irritation just put the peeled onions in water as you peel them. If you are a pro cook (production) you will be wasting way to much time if you leave one end of the onion intact.

[simoncello88]

@kiminokami  hehehe true..!

[JamaicanYawd]

Did anyone else see that at 2:52, he almost chopped his finger off?

[celtic20095]

lmao o boy is this some crazy stuff or what guys?..good golly gosh

[debchefq]

I can do better look for chefq on the food network cast your votes

[teacherfood]

@debchefq Sounds like a challenge. I am always ready. Come visit me here in Indian Wells Ca at KITCHEN KITCHEN. We can perform a public Knife skills competition. If you invite me I will come to your local. Respond please, after all you challenged me on YOU TUBE

[debchefq]

@teacherfood Chef I will post a new video demonstrating some knife cuts that will blow your mind sorry can't make it to your hometown so what we will do is have the same stuff and we will do it in real time the only thing we won't be able to measure,of course is quality only speed. Will let you know! OK big boy

[debchefq]

@teacherfood u know we could start something with this a statewide iron chef funding it would b difficult we could make it some sort of club bcause as you know we chefs have such small egos. And it is a job of passion not becoming rich unless ur the exec at the Bellagio.

[JayLachFV]

@teacherfood i believe you are the best cutting chef in the world your are awsome i want to be just like you please reply. :D

[Pwnerer91]

@teacherfood So.. who won?

[kratt81]

@debchefq Lmao you are so boned buddy...good luck

[debchefq]

@kratt81 what does that mean exactly "boned" like u r going to debone me or does this have to with food network because its over I didn't make it. I always like a challenge I'll take on anyone in the kitchen what do u got to be so cocky lets see your video skills

[narutomaniac100]

@debchefq PWNED

[PurpleHaze2k9]

@debchefq chef pwned, lol.

[honger1]

@debchefq is that challenge open to anyone?

[0LuceNox0]

this is idiotic

[CorneliusSneedley]

@0LuceNox0 Your comment? Couldn't agree more.

[MrJayel27]

@0LuceNox0 Its not idiotic,to chop properly to chef standard,its mostly to do with feel,not sight,though this guys just trying to make himself look good,thats all,..so perhaps your comment should read "this guy is a twat"

[MrJayel27]

@0LuceNox0 Its not idiotic whatsoever,its just not impressive.Being a Chef myself,i can tell you that a chefs chopping is done so fast by feel and rhythm.I could,for instance,quite easily chop a carrot in about two seconds whilst looking at and talking to you.

[cgriffin123456]

@MrJayel27 your definitely not a good chef if youre taking the time to comment on videos like this. get in the kitchen....youre probably a commis

[MrJayel27]

@cgriffin123456 Uh?Im not a good chef because like the majority of the rest of the world,i spend time on the internet?What has one got to do with the other you moron lol.Oh and no,Ive been a chef for ten years and got my first head chef job after only three years.You obviously arent a chef,otherwise youd agree utterly with my previous comment.

[cgriffin123456]

@MrJayel27 haha go back to garde manger you hack...good for you youre a chef after three years...doesnt mean your good. lemme guess you have michelin stars right, is that the next thing your going to say. shove it up your ass

[MrJayel27]

@cgriffin123456 Erm,..no,i dont have michelin stars,..why are you sitting about,starting pedantic arguments with random people on the internet just because theyve made a factual statement?Get a life,or a job eh.

[bboyarrow]

throw that shit away and start it again! now tell me if you can do a killer small brunoise without cuttin it vertically about 4 or 5 times as well...  NO!

[blastergrillmaster]

who is this muthafucka .. this homo sucks dic

[marcmantione]

That's so easy

[DaveAngus4lyfe]

@marcmantione agreed , really not hard

[Robsnell02]

i sure could if my damn knifes were sharp!!

[bigbill87]

is it just me or did the bloke not take the core off at the end so hes got a dirty great chunks of hard core through his diced onion...fail

[paisan357]

Why Does It Say "Special Effects" in the credits???? It did not seem like he did anything that special.

[yyyy2999]

@paisan357 it was all fake lol

[433138]

A very good introduction. One minor point though: Leaving out the horizontal incisions in the the halved onion produces slightly less regular sized pieces because the outer leaves are less curved (producing small pieces) than the inner ones (producing larger pieces).

[cliffcox66]

Great job. Easily tell the guy's got experience and humor.

[KatiaRenegade]

That was fantastic! I wish I would have sen that before I started chopping for my veggie soup this evening!

[jiggage]

This Guy is effin' HILARIOUS... and good knife skills

[HEKOT77]

It's great!

[stickyou20]

[Top0ne]
