Peel and Dice a Tomato by Chef Jean Pierre

Chef Jean Pierre shows you how to peel and dice a tomato

[@drdecco1]

I love this guy’s relaxed attitude… he says “no longer than 10-12 seconds” and proceeds a good 30 seconds beyond this - the cleaning the board [alone] used up 12 seconds….

[@cutazabutton]

Wait until you hear, and see, him saying to “measure carefully”. 😂

[@Sniperboy5551]

He’s more focused on quality rather than speed, which I absolutely respect. It’s not like he has a whole dining room full of people waiting on him, he’s showing us how to take our time and do it properly.

[@PhilKoenigBrooklyn]

I've learned more from this guy in 1 month than in a lifetime of making a fool of myself in the kitchen

it's pretty comical that you write this under a "peel and dice tomato" video. like you can cook a million of recipes without the need of peeling a tomato lol

[@dank3151]

he really likes it when you comment how many seconds the tomato was actually in the water as opposed to his prediction of 10-12 seconds

[@evanwindom3265]

Anyone else, after seeing this, think he's absolutely ROCKING the silver hair? My favorite YT chef --- I use a lot of his recipes when I cook for others, and always with success.

Old school french chefs like this generated so much in trimmings and scraps that it looks very odd today. But in fact it wasn't wasted, staff meals were usually made with the trimmings and were often innovative, hearty and delicious!

[@scoobygfld]

What did they use the trimmings for, stews?

"I don't think I'm gonna leave it in there longer than 10-12 seconds..." *Leaves it in for 46 seconds* OOP!

[@godssheep3959]

Nah he just has a slower running clock. You know when you are waiting for water to boil if you go watch a tv show or read an email the water boil very rapidly but if you sit there and watch it then it will take what seems like 30 minutes. With this tomato if you clean up after yourself while it cooks then it was only 10 to 12 seconds. If you were to sit there and stare at it and count then it would be more like closer to a minute.

[@Marniuhhh]

@@godssheep3959 Seems like a far stretch.

You wait til the peel starts to crinkle which can be as long as it takes depending on ripeness of tomato

[@LoveGixx]

.. it was actually 13 seconds left in there when you finished saying no more than 10-12 seconds.. tomato was actually left in for 47 seconds..

[@b-radg916]

Robert Ellis… I don't know the original poster's intent, other than to call out the chef on his inability to count. Chefs need to have a built-in timer. No one would have thought anything of it except for the fact that he was so specific ("no less that 10 to 12 seconds") and then kept putzing around and talking for 35 extra seconds was a little comical.

[@SilverSkySE]

I have an Italian cookbook. In one of the recipies, it says you need peeled tomatos as an ingredient. I didn’t know you have to boil them first and trying to peel them was a disaster. I have a saying that if something is too difficult then you’re probably doing it wrong. I was definitely doing it wrong. Thanks for the video!
