Why does the hotel chef only use a spoon instead of a shovel when cooking? I learned a lot after reading this

China is known as the kingdom of gourmet food because our country has many types of dishes and they taste very delicious, and it is all thanks to those chefs who make so many delicious dishes. I wonder if you have noticed that chefs only use spoons instead of shovels when cooking. Why is this?

We all use shovels when cooking at home, and we find it very convenient to cook in this way. But the chefs in big hotels only use spoons, and they do this because they need to "turn the spoon" when cooking. Because the stoves in big hotels have very strong flames, if you don't turn the spoon when cooking, the food will easily burn. And the mixing is not even enough, so the dish will not taste good. Therefore, they must use a spoon when cooking. They cannot cook with a shovel.

In addition, chefs use many kinds of seasonings when cooking, and these seasonings are stored in large bowls. Therefore, during the cooking process, the chef will use this big spoon to pick up the seasonings. . They measure the amount of seasonings based on this spoon, and they are very accurate. If the spoon is replaced with a shovel, it will be different from his usual usage, and he may not be able to control the amount, so the fried dishes may be salty or tasteless.

The last point is that the chefs in the hotel need to make soup in addition to cooking. For example, when making egg drop soup, you can use a spoon to quickly stir-fry the eggs, then add water to make the soup. You also use a spoon to scoop the soup out of the pot. So it is much more convenient to use a spoon. Otherwise, you have to put down the shovel and change it to a spoon. This is a waste of time, because a chef in a restaurant has to do a lot of dishes and time is very tight. But just use a spoon all the time. Save a lot of time and create greater value for the hotel.

So the chefs in the hotel find it very convenient to use a spoon to cook. In addition, this is what the teacher taught them when they were learning cooking. This is also a theory gained from practice. So if the spoon is replaced with a shovel, it will definitely be inconvenient for them. So, do you guys plan to try using a spoon when cooking at home?
