Comments on: Cook Like a Man: Get Religion http://archive.mensjournal.com/1-get-religion Sat, 18 May 2013 03:03:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Damon http://archive.mensjournal.com/1-get-religion#comment-13578 Damon Wed, 04 Aug 2010 05:06:14 +0000 http://www.mensjournal.com/?p=8042#comment-13578 Eugenio, And it is your kitchen, and rightly your call. Once I started practicing Mise En Place (learned from a friend to whom I osw much gratitude), I became so much less frustrated/stressed, and it was so much more fun (and I loved cooking already). Trading in "Oh sh*t, half the f*cking eggs are cracked in the carton!", or whatever other surprises lurk in the caverns of misfortune, to "Proper Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance", cost nothing, and gained everything. And yes, I check the eggs when I buy them, but I can't always stop my dumb little buddies from cramming a 12 pack in front of a carton of eggs. Things go wrong; having the stuff ready to go when the fire is lit is priceless. You don't guess, you know. You remove unpredictable variables. Cooking can be intense. And damn well it should be, at times, when you're trying to time everything correctly. That's part of the fun. Mise En Place helps. But that's me. Your kitchen, bro. Eugenio,

And yes, I check the eggs when I buy them, but I can’t always stop my dumb little buddies from cramming a 12 pack in front of a carton of eggs. Things go wrong; having the stuff ready to go when the fire is lit is priceless. You don’t guess, you know. You remove unpredictable variables.

Cooking can be intense. And damn well it should be, at times, when you’re trying to time everything correctly. That’s part of the fun. Mise En Place helps.

But that’s me. Your kitchen, bro.

I don't know where you learn all your information but up! I am going to send a few folks on over to check this out. Fantastic, just plain awesome. I am just getting into spitting out articles myself, nothing compared to your writing potential (doh) but I would love for you to take my work in progress sometime! <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/bowflex.series.7.treadmill.sale-20" rel="nofollow">bowfelx series 7 treadmill</a> Hey this was probably one of the most effective blurbs I’ve had the chance to view on the topic so far.

With practice and some discipline you should always have certain ingredients in the same place everytime, the salt, wine, herbs, oil, water etc. I would argue that the “everything in it’s place” mantra doesn’t mean that you have to have it all out in front of you, rather that you know where it is when you need it.
