Professional Masterchef 2019: Chefs who can cook things properly are rare.

[GrouchyKiwi]

First thread.

Will anyone manage to cook anything all the way through?

Yeah, it might be ok on the cap d'antibes but not for our marcus.

Oh I like Alice. Hope she does well.

I feel for those doing this test, a world away from fucking up spatchcock.

I mean I would feel for them if they didn't get paid to cook.

Oh dear. She doesn't know what it is

How can you not know what a croque monsieur is?

And she's cocking up the roux as well!

Yeah she seems nice. A bit nervy.

SIDE salad Alice

Salad in the sandwich?

Ew. Lumpy sauce. Alas, Alice.

And yet again, how can these be professional chefs?!

Joyful Alice can't make a toasted sandwich. Such a shame

Ooh navy boy

Blimey. These initial tests are like pulling nails out this time round. I can understand people not having encountered razor clams before but.... a toasted sandwich???

I always like the military chefs.

Well, if a Navy cook can't make one the nation is doomed.

Another tough paper round. He looks like a bigger Kirk from corrie.

Monica's face

Christ the look of that

Fuxake man, dump 3/4 of the roux

I've had croques monsieur with the sauce on the top so technically I think that can be correct

Giggling at the amount of sauce he's making. That's how my cooking used to be, growing up as one of 7 children. Took me ages to work out portion size when I was cooking just for me (and then DH and me).

Navy Chef's sandwich is a decent effort.

Well. To misquote Morecambe and wise, I'm doing all the right things, not necessarily in the right order.

Where the hell did they drag the chefs from this season???!!!

Best of the three.

Best effort so far, if a bit agricultural
