What happens if you justā¦ donāt stop sending orders?
We put chefs Ben, James and Kush into a full restaurant-style service and then kept the orders coming non-stop. No breaks. No slowdown. Just constant pressure.
With pasta, pizza and seafood flying out of the kitchen, this quickly becomes a test of skill, communication and pure endurance.
The question isā¦ can they actually keep up?

Weāve been nominated for a Webby Award (basically the Oscars of the Internet š„¹)ā¦ for this video!
So hereās a little BTS from How Many Cooks Can Spoil The Broth.
Yesā¦ Mike and Baz really did drive around London in a Microlino.
Yesā¦ they did look slightly ridiculous š
But this video is so much more than that. Itās a celebration of the London food scene, and the incredible chefs who make it what it is.
If you love what we do, your vote would mean everything! It takes 10 seconds – thank you! š

My grandma uses instant potato (potato flacks) in potato soup to help thicken it up. It also makes it creamier than just using milk in the soup.

i may have commented on this vid before but, i as a bachelor and a very basic cook with some issues with my hands etc find the hacks and tips vids great. at Xmas time i make what i call a "Vasic Bachelor Trifle" Last year i used Store bought apple and cinnamon muffins, fruit and jelly cups, uht custard to make the trifle. the only "cooking" i did was i whipped the cream myself. It might not be a technical trifle – more a desert, but i is very tasty and great on a hot summer Xmas day here in Aus.

re: the wastage on the chicken gravy, you can use the carcass from a roasted chicken instead of fresh wings. Just another reason to keep a bag of trimmings and bones in your freezer to make stock with.

Itās interesting seeing how certain ingredients can be used with chef approval to make midweek meal preparation a quicker and easier task! I understand that professional kitchens wouldnāt be using gravy granules to cheat their cooking but knowing that they can be used as alternatives to simplify cooking outside of being gravy is insightful and provides endless opportunity for experimentation and testing for average home cooks

Cruise ships use powder potatoes with loads of butter, and they honestly taste amazing, did not know bƩchamel sauce in a carton was even a thing, will certainly look out for it to keep in the cupboard.
Have to admit to destroying custard, so has to be custard powder for me, or at a push can or carton.

It would have been interesting to know the difference in price, and how much time was saved when using the hacks.

You can thicken the sauce and get it a lot richer and even in an instant rather than the typical all-day simmer, and with less real meat.

After 13 odd years since the channelās creation Ebbers has had a community dubbed nickname for his Benuendos so when Jamie apologised for making a statement that out of context could have a different meaning was so cute šš after all this time of listening to Ben frivolously spurt out double entredes that still feels the need to apologise for saying something like that is so adorable because itās so unnecessary after being desensitised by the last decade of Ebbers š

Seeing these little tricks and hacks that make preparing dinner easier without compromising on quality is a great insight. Having the assurance from a chef providing these tricks lets me imagine where I might be able to utilise these tricks to make meal preparation easier which is always something the majority of us normal home cooks desire and is a leading factor as to why so many people eat large amounts of processed foods rather than preparing fresh nutritious ingredients

Since seeing the bƩchamel sauce on this, I've used it for sooo many things! With this and some pre-prepped ragu from the freezer, that's lasagne done and in the oven in a matter of minutes.
Just a great find/suggestion, many thanks!

Wait… Custard powder for trifle is considered a cheat? This channel never ceases to make me feel like I'm doing things wrong
@Pwecko
January 2, 2024 at 9:38 pm
When I was a kid, back in the 60s and early 70s, the only kind of custard that existed was made with Bird's custard powder. I didn't know about real custard until much later. I didn't know anyone who made custard from scratch. When I tried to make it, I produced scrambled eggs. Now, I don't eat custard.

I'm based in the upper midwest of the USA and I use all but the boxed bƩchamel. Loads of recipes here use gravy mix as a base for other things due to convenience. Haven't tried the custard powder per se (Birds is in the international section of our grocery and very expensive), but have used boxed American pudding, usually Jell-O brand. To thin it, just add a bit more milk or cream. As for the bƩchamel, it isn't readily available here, or I would have that on hand for a quick version of my homemade creamy macaroni and cheese which is where I learned to make the bƩchamel in the first place.

Renowned chef Jacques PĆ©pin was a staunch supporter of using instant mash as a thickener and ingredient. They are just dehydrated potato flakes. Not even cheating if you use them. Sure as hell beats anything else as a thickener for stews.
