@Skoben2000 Cool. You higher (sic) all the CIA wannabes, and I'll hire the good cooks (regardless of school). I've had CIA grads who were great cooks, and I've had CIA grads who couldn't boil an egg. BTW, I could care less which technique they use to get there, as long as they are efficient and consistent. I teach the horizontal cut to my students, but stopped using it personally years ago.
HAhaha...Me is Typonese if you please. me is typonese if you DON'T please. That last sentence below was supposed to be: "This is one test that helps weed them out for me." ;-)
Agreed, horizontal cuts are the differentiator, especially for anything smaller than 1/4" pieces.
I think most non-trained or poorly trained cooks haven't been exposed to instructors who require you to chop various sizes.. from 1/2" down to 1/16". Consistency is the key and that only comes from proper form and practice.
Oh Goodnes.. This frickin' argument again? For those who do the horizontal cuts, do them for those who don't , DON'T. I'll tell you what though. I am a high pass from CIA and I never higher anyone that doesn't do the horizontal cut. Those who have gone to the best culinary schools in the world learned this and those that went to other schools, well, that's why they are not the best in the world. I't tells me who's good and who's not. This i sone thest that helps weed them out for me.
