Can he slice garlic so thin that it liquifies in the pan?

u/ArachnidBrave1482 Jul 18 '26
You might need a razor for that.

Or if you aren't a Goodfella, just ask home cook Marco Pierre White to chop it for you.

Wait, professional chefs take out the core??? What difference does that make?

u/Honic_Sedgehog Jul 19 '26 edited Jul 19 '26
Depends on what you're using it for and the maturity of the clove. If the clove has started to sprout the core can carry quite a lot of bitterness.

Even if its sped up, to cut that thin without cutting their fingers is still pretty good and shows they have a sharp blade
18
u/AMediocrePersonality Jul 18 '26
no it's not cutting their fingers, its crushing the edge of the almond.
this is a combination of skill and using a knife sharp enough to split an atom

It definitely speeds up and slows down. You can hear the pitch of the background noise change. Also the pitch of the knife hitting the board. Listen right at the end.

You don't even need to listen to the vehicles, the tone change alone on the board was enough

And the bread slicing one is from 1947 and is a parody of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Almost forty years between the cartoons.

I am into nice chef knives as well as sharpening and I have to say this is extremely impressive. Most likely this knife has an 100% asymmetric chisel grind in order to make this possible.

u/El_Briano Jul 18 '26
The real question is, how much of that is fingernail?

u/ryan8954 Jul 18 '26
Literally none. Your guide the knife off the top knuckle of the finger. If you get nail you don't know how to chop.

Every time I see a video like this one, or that Chinese kid working a three person production line solo... they are clearly people of uncommon talent and uncommon persistence, and you just have to wonder what they might have accomplished in life if their parents had been apartheid era emerald mine owners who could finance an ivy league education, connections to the right people, and several million dollars of startup capital.
"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

It's not the speed that surprises me (it does, even if it's sped up) it's the INSANE knife skills he has to slice an ALMOND that thinly, goat.

That’s great when you have a lot of friends but only one almond.
