I have to say, very nice and clear videos! I have a question though: In this video you said that rouxbe features a professionally accredited curriculum. I would just be interested where the curriculum is accredited (which standards it applies to)

@thargor2k The school we work with Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver follows the guidelines set out by the Canadian Culinary Foundation.

@rouxbe Thank you for your fast answer, I was asking because I'm considering to buy it as a gift for someone who is becoming a chef in Austria. I was asking because of the vastly different system for educating chefs we have here... I know this should not make the content any less valid, just asking out of curiosity.

@thargor2k Most culinary programs teach the same basic techniques all based on the french masters like Escoffier. Rouxbe is no different we just do it online.

@InnuendoXP When making an omelet I don't think you can beat non stick and I do like the way a steak comes out of a cast iron pan when using the flip often method. I had my stainless pan in a cupboard till I learned how to use them properly in that same video.

@rouxbe

though I'll still pick cast iron for my steaks and there's some good non-teflon non sticks out there like scanpan which I still use for my eggs as I like them cooked at a very low heat very gently which stainless steel doesn't really allow but I formerly thought all my stainless steelware was close to useless which was changed by that video.

@InnuendoXP That one was revolutionary to me also. That's the video the non-stick pan makers never want you to see.

@rouxbe

your website had me at the cooking with stainless steel demo. It was never clearly explained to me, very informative and very detailed

[rouxbe]

@InnuendoXP I couldn't have answered that better myself. Glad to hear Rouxbe was able to assist you while completing catering College. We hear that a lot as so many students use Rouxbe to slow down the demos and get a front row seat for what they missed in class when their instructor ran through the demo so quick.

@gmed2

no because you need to complete an apprenticeship and have practical working experience also. I don't know if this is an accredited qualification but I found rouxbe VERY good in giving me supplimentary knowledge in different methods of cookery which actually wasn't covered in my catering college. This gave me greater resources with which to complete my cookery course and expand my knowledge about cooking which is why we all do it when it comes down to it.
