Basic Training (thuck you Jamie Oliver)

February 28th 2008 09:55
Yes indeed, thuck you Jamie Oliver.
Alright all you Jamie Oliver wannabe’s, I’m going to let you in on a little secret.
If you “want to be” like Jamie.
1- Pull your bottom lip until it hangs down to your chin
2- Discard the letters “T”&”H” from your alphabet and replace them with the letter “F”
3- When you speak, try to spit as much as possible
4- Say stupid things like “pucker tucker” and “lovely jubbly”
5- Last of all, have intercourse with the entire contents of a chicken coop

There you have it, sounds pretty easy to me. You can become Jamie Oliver in a flash. (Depending on how hard it is to find the chicken coop)(And the lip thing may take awhile)


Now, if you want to be like Awesome Dude I assure you there will be no butchering of the English language (only sometimes) nor any degrading acts with chickens or pulling of the bottom lip. You just have to follow Basic Training.

This is Basic Training (step two) code name “thuck you Jamie Oliver”

Today we’re going to talk about knives... big knives.
Awesome Dude has an awesome knife, some knives can cost can cost upwards of two hundred dollars. Mine cost around 80 bucks; it’s a Scanpan 20cm cook’s knife it’s fully forged and is Rockwell tested. Now the key to a good knife is the angle of the blade, let’s look at the diagram-
A. B.








Now which one looks more evil? That’s right “A” does, and that’s the one you want. It is easier to sharpen, it cuts straighter and it is just basically awesome.

You don’t have to buy a knife worth 80 bucks, my old knife was about thirty five dollars and it was nearly as good as my Scanpan. Just look for a blade that resembles diagram “A”.
Alright, you’ve just made your second step towards awesomeness.

My awesome blade!!!

Have something similar to yours although it's not a scanpan knife.

Not sure I agree entirely on the price point you are talking about. A proper knife will cost you a bit. I bought some at KMart (like Knife A) too that was as shoddy as it comes. Since then we've always made sure we have decent knives. They are less dangerous too when they're sharp.

Sven's basic tips are ..
1. Learn to cut well and fast (otherwise it's too much of a chore).
2. Learn the basic recipes (the ones that can be altered to whatever you like).
3. Once you have the basics down, don't be afraid to be creative/imaginative with your cooking.
