This is why you don't try and put out oil fires in your home kitchen by pouring water on them, rather smother them with a damp cloth.

Weirdly enough I can compare it to a video game experience, because you are in constant engagement, you never run out of stuff to do, it just keeps you in a flow state all day. It can be pretty demanding, but if you get used to it, you'll never feel bored on the job for sure.

Especially for food that is going to be cooked and exposed to high heat anyways. And the towels they use are likely soaked in sanitizer, by the fryer is probably one of the better spots too especially in a kitchen of this volume.

If the 30 seconds it takes to properly was your hands after touching uncooked food before touching cooked food is getting you in the weeds your prep wasn't perfect hence the poor results. Keeping your hands clean is paramount, always has, always will. There was also not a single labeled sani bucket by that fry station so most likely it wasn't, unless in the UK you're allowed to put sani water in unlabeled easily confused 9th pans. They are usually red, and not directly next to food. He also ran that same towel under tap water multiple times.

If you're wanting ideas for videos, show us how some of these dishes go from prep to finished product. Those croquettes, for instance, in a freezer drawer, I'm assuming, before they go into the fryer. How'd you make them? And then what are they served with to make the finished dish? That's just one example.

I love these videos I was a busser (I did it part time at age 27 to 33 so I took it serious) I came in with no experience cuz I needed something to do to get out of a bad living situation. TMI but the POINT is, I also did some kitchen prep, dishwasher a dozen or so times, some shucking, but I became the fastest most fucking ELITE busser. I miss restaurants so bad LOVE these videos 💯 👍 👌 🍳

On the ticket they were corn ribs alongside cauli croquettes. They looked like young corn sliced in half (maybe seasoned/charred first) as prep and then deep fried. He's throwing the rest away because it'd be like serving cold stale fries as part of a future someone's dish; no.
