      I beg to differ. That's only true for some. In my culinary school 4-5 students out of my 25-person class got it perfectly on our first try ever, including myself. I would say it's more the nightmare of people who either don't have good hand-eye coordination, aren't artistically inclined, or just aren't good at making sense out of things. Those of us who were good at drawing or other manual crafts and were also good at paying attention and absorbing information made excellent tournees from the get-go.

    In culinary iasked what the purpose was for tourne and I was told so the vegetables are presentable. I disagreed and said that's just a waste of vegetables. I wanted to cook for people that wanted to eat. Not for pretentious asshats that gave a shit about how evenly cut their veggies were and pay $65 for a plate that without preparing the food a certain way could have fed 3 people instead of one. Chef said he would fail me if I didn't complete the cuts I learned and passed but told him I still disagreed. And 6 years later ran into chef. He asked if I was still cooking and I said yes and guess what? I haven't used tourne cut one single time outside of culinary. You know what he told me. He said "me either" he was at that time a 27th year chef!!!

    • @goombapizza6335
      @goombapizza6335 Před 5 lety +1

      Practice on a carrot; they're cheap. Step 1: cut off a block of carrot (not from the end; you want a mostly uniform thickness), about 2 inches long. Step 2: make the block of carrot into a septagon. Just straight up and down. You want it to have 7 even sides and a flat top and bottom. Step 3: start whittling away with a bird's beak knife to make the sides curve in toward the top and bottom. Like a football. Make sure the "ends" are small and blunted and parallel with each other - 1/4 inch diameter is good. Done.
      Avoid taking anything off the "equator" of the carrot as much as you can. You want it to stay fat in the middle. The big mistake people make is continuing to slice off the "equator" middle. Then you end up with a really skinny tournee which isn't presentable.
      A straight paring knife won't work as well for this. You want a bird's beak knife.

      @@online-culinary-school TBH, tournees look odd to me as well and I can't imagine many modern audiences (even in fine dining) that would be interested in them. Probably the only time you'll need to make them is in culinary school "because it's a traditional cut" (that nobody wants anymore). However, learning how to make them is useful for learning how to manage a paring or bird's beak knife to make intricate cuts.

      You just have to know how to use the scraps. Fine cooking tends to involve a lot of fabricated shapes and sizes, so a smart chef learns to use the extras for soups and other foods. For example, the potato leftovers can be turned into potato leek soup or another puree
