I always felt so much sadness, watching him walk in, proud of what he made, then the desperation of him trying to put it back in the pot.
Oh yea, seeing him desperately mop it up with office supplies hurts my soul.
As far as kitchen disasters go, it's not the worst. Any kitchen worth its salt will have a squeegee. Just squeegee all the beans into a dust pan and bin them. Run a mop over the floor. Clean. As far as making new beans, unless you are out of beans, this should be a dead simple prep item.
One of the worst things you can drop in a kitchen is a gallon jug of undiluted dish detergent. Turns the whole place into an ice rink that is impossible to clean.
Spilling an entire jug of garlic butter wing sauce was an awful one at my old place.
Tbh they look like chickpeas, so your secrets are safe
Chickpeas are also known as garbanzo beans, so perhaps not
Why does the stove top look like it's wrapped in plastic?
I think it's foil
Yeah, I could see that. Still not sure what the point is though lol
Wrap surface in foil then replace foil for easy clean
Seems like they would end up spending a fortune on tinfoil that way. That stuff tears pretty easily too I don't know how clean it's actually going to keep anything
I guess it comes down to what you can get cheaper, foil wrap or degreaser. There's also the labor hours needed to do the cleaning, so the tin foil saves money there. But you're right, it would definitely tear all the time and ultimately seems like more trouble than it's worth.
Tin foil comes in different grades and thicknesses.
I’ve worked in kitchens before, this is what we did.
I work in kitchens now, we don't do this. But I can definitely see it for a sauté-heavy menu, which is a lot of finer dining places. We're all flattop and fryer with a few burners in back for prep. Those burners don't see enough action to warrant heavy-duty foil wrap.
