Food That Doesn't Glow is Not Good Food

Sakurai Jun himself is a special chef. Although he has never participated in world-level or national competitions, he has some understanding of the combination of special chefs' Tai Chi.From the very beginning, he didn't intend to interview Acacia or other special chefs, because it would be thankless, but if the interviewees were replaced by Akakubo Momo or Monica, there would be fewer problems Go up a lot.

Akane Kubomomo is just a student. I heard from my friends that she is one of the ten outstanding talents of Yuanyue, but she is nothing in the culinary world. I think she will not refuse her question. As for Monica, it would be easier to speak ...

What's more, interviewing the two of them was originally a way to put pressure on the other contestants, especially Xie Yunfei and another first-class chef. Although Sakurai Jun didn't think Xie Yunfei would be affected too much, it would be worthwhile to try it. There will be disadvantages.

pity……

Sakurai Jun meets Akakubo Momo, an introverted girl.

Although he saw two hosts walking towards him, Akane Kubomomo didn't care at all, pouted, and picked up the white cloth covering the equipment.

The next moment, a machine appeared in front of everyone.

It has a square shape, with a puddle of water remaining in the middle, a row of buttons at the front, and a wire and plug wrapped around the bottom.

"This is?" The hostess was probably just a vase invited by the organizer, and she didn't even know what the instrument in front of her was.

But Jun Sakurai was different. He didn't care about the knowledge of his partner. He replied softly, "This is a fried ice machine, which can be used to make fried ice, fried yogurt, and fried fruit ice cream."

"Eh? Stir-fried?" Although the hostess is a little vase, she is not stupid. Hearing Jun Sakurai's explanation, she understood the reason why Akane Kubotamo brought out the fried ice machine almost instantly, "This may be Akane's Isn't Momo Kubo's trick to deal with the theme of 'frying'?"

"Maybe." Sakurai Jun shrugged, but did not give a positive response.

All kinds of fried ice made by using the fried ice machine are indeed in line with the title of 'fried ice', but if you just combine fried ice with cake in this way, needless to say, you will definitely get a very low score.

Fortunately, Akakubomomo is not an idiot. After knowing the topic yesterday afternoon, she began to consciously connect the cooking techniques she acquired with the theme of cake.

And the bridge connecting the two is none other than the chocolate puree she holds in her hand.

He didn't pay attention to the photographer who was standing by and took pictures, and he didn't pay attention to the hostess and Jun Sakurai who were chattering non-stop.

Akane Kubomomo first carefully cleaned the equipment, and after wiping off all the condensed water droplets on it, he connected it to the power supply, increased the power of the ice frying machine, and quickly cooled the metal part used for frying ice.

At the same time, Momo Akane Kubo opened the glass container containing the chocolate puree, shook the chocolate puree that had not solidified, and took another look at the thermometer that came with the frying ice machine, then picked it up with his right hand and put it aside The spatula on the kitchen table, and then poured all the chocolate puree onto the fried ice machine without leaving a drop.

The moment the first drop of chocolate puree came into contact with the fried ice machine, Akakubo Momo moved his right hand, and the scraper lightly touched the side of the puree, sweeping it aside, and then swiped it with his backhand, sweeping the second Drip puree and sweep to the other side.

The third drop, the fourth drop, the fifth drop...

Chapter 295 Ice and Fire (sub)

Akakubomomo's movements are very fast, and he has obviously practiced dozens or even hundreds of times.

With the continuous flick of her right hand, the chocolate puree was scattered on the left and right sides of the frying ice machine. After careful observation, there was not a single drop of these chocolate puree that was repeated.

Yes, all the puree does not overlap with other puree, but directly contacts with the cooling surface of the frying ice machine. Quickly transforms to a solid at the low temperature of an ice fryer!

Akane Kubo stopped the process.

The chocolate puree, which changed from liquid to gelatin at low temperature, and slowly turned to solid, was scooped up into the air without exception under the dancing of the shovel and scraper held by Akakubomomo's left and right hands.

"Oh!"

In the ear, the hostess' exclamation sounded.

But Akane Kubotamo didn't have time to pay attention to her at all. From the beginning to the end, her eyes were fixed on the refrigerated side of the fried ice machine, or the chocolate puree that was in contact with the refrigerated side.

Sweat ran down his cheeks, and Akane Kubomomo didn't wipe it off, but just shook his head to let the sweat drip onto the open space beside the fried ice machine.

The right hand holding the spatula was raised, drawing a beautiful '8' shape in the air.

Akane Kubotao has obviously practiced this action countless times before, and he unexpectedly followed all the chocolate puree that was temporarily suspended in the air due to inertia, and through the continuous fine adjustment and steering of the scraper with his fingers, the chocolate puree Not a single drop fell, it all stayed on the side of the spatula.

After a total of less than ten seconds before and after, Akakubo Momo let out a sigh of relief, and then did not stop, the scraper tilted slightly, and repeated the previous action of chocolate puree dripping into the fried ice machine.

But this time, Akane Kubomomo could only use a shovel because the spatula was already occupied.Her movements were still very fast, and the shovel in her hand was like a baton in the hands of a musician. In the blink of an eye, she spread the chocolate puree in a rectangular shape to cover the entire cooling surface of the fried ice machine.

The next second, or the next moment!

The shovel danced again, and at the same time, there was also a scraper that was free.

The left and right hands started working together, and the chocolate puree that almost turned into a solid appeared in midair again.

"Oh!!!" XN

The hostess exclaimed again, in fact, it wasn't just her, all the people who were paying attention to Akakubomomo, including the judges, the reporters, and the audience, had similar expressions at this time.

Akane Kubomomo is obviously using a rather advanced cooking technique, and even the four-star chefs who serve as judges have only roughly analyzed the prototype of this technique.

"Chocolate tempering...?" Chef Amano muttered.

She originally thought that the match in the third group in Area A would be a massacre, but now it seems that this is not the case.The technique used by Akane Kubomomo, not to mention other people, is not known by Special Chef Amano, but she usually does not need to use this advanced technique, because her husband has always been responsible for the tempering of chocolate. As for The technique used by the husband, um, should be regarded as... some kind of transformation after the basic skills have been honed over and over again, right?

Not to mention the simple version of the chocolate tempering technique used by housewives, the chocolate tempering method familiar to pastry chefs is to heat the chocolate until it melts, pour it on a marble table, and then use a spatula or shovel to spread the chocolate , then shovel and gather together, and so on, until the chocolate becomes sticky.

The specific principle is a bit complicated. It involves the molecular formula of chocolate, which generally means that it will break when heated, but it cannot be restored to its original shape when cooled. It needs to be refined through a special method, that is, 'tempering'.

The surface of the final finished chocolate product will be as shiny as a gemstone, and the taste is undeniably silky.

"This technique..." Xie Yunfei, who was standing at the kitchen table next door, looked at Qian Kubotao's performance with some surprise. Although he focused his research on various Chinese cuisines, it's not that he didn't know anything about Western desserts. I know, in fact, during the second round of preliminaries, Xie Yunfei brought out the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". The outer layer of chocolate coat was made with the technique of "tempering".

Akakubomomo didn't know that she was being watched by almost half of the people in the venue, but even if she knew, she didn't have time to be shy.

The movements of her hands became faster and faster. Although Akishakubotamo had only learned the new technique given by Kikuchi Sonoko for two days, her solid basic skills allowed her to touch the essentials of the technique in this short period of time.

Once, twice, three times...

For more than ten minutes before and after, Akakubotamo's hands were performing a quick and powerful dance on the fried ice machine, but if someone observed carefully, they would find that her left and right hands holding the scraper and shovel, especially the fingers, were a little blue.
