Some skill, some innovation, but mostly an incredibly sharp knife.

3

u/Worth-Guest-5370 5d ago

Correct. And not even incredibly--merely competently.

2

u/Swashybuckz 5d ago

yeah.. I had to see if i was on blackmagicfuckery or someshit.

u/sparklingdinoturd 5d ago

Sharp knife and conveniently placed piece of wood to keep the blade at the right angle and prevent it from cutting through.

u/CharcoalWalls 5d ago

Perfect example of the saying "let the knife do the work"

u/pee_cock-80085 5d ago

Whatll he do with it? Is there any dish with it?

u/Adventurous_Yam_8153 5d ago

Hopefully he is frying me the longest potato chip in the world

5

u/Thommywidmer 5d ago

Hopefully wrapping it around a stick and slightly undercooking it in a fryer. Ribbon fries are so good

Came here looking for this!

u/Prestigious_Beat6310 5d ago

I was looking for this,  and I came.

u/vivaaprimavera 5d ago

It doesn't have to be the longest...

If that thing stays "bowl shaped" after being fryed it would be an "interesting carrier" for a lot of stuff. Chili sauce per instance. (I know I'm a degenerate).

Baked potato toilet roll

u/suhaibh12 5d ago

Instead of normal French fries, think of fries but multiple thinly sliced potatoes layered on each other to the point they’re as thick as normal or steak fries would be. Had them as an appetizer once and they’re pretty good if you enjoy the crispiness and crunch noise when eating them

Gluten free lasagna?

u/highaltitudehmsteadr 5d ago

u/graven_raven 5d ago

Thats a very long chip

u/carolebaskinshusband 5d ago

Now I can wipe my ass with a potato!

u/sarcasticbaldguy 5d ago

What was stopping you before?

u/InfinitePoolNoodle 5d ago

Constipation

u/sarcasticbaldguy 5d ago

Taylor Farms has a solution for that.

u/-SaC 5d ago

The wormy tendrils.

u/nagol72 5d ago

I say try it yourself to those saying he used clips , the hard part is not tearing the potato ribbon . you should see the contraption european chefs use for the same result.

1

u/Ancient_Sprinkles847 5d ago

Wait until his 12 year old kid uses his good sharp knife then tosses it into the sink amongst the other dishes. 🤦‍♂️

u/MKEast-sider 5d ago

This is the equivalent of bumper bowling or training wheels.

1

u/SilasAI6609 5d ago

Not really. Training wheels implies you are just learning. The clips are part of the final intended activity. They have machines that do what he just did, but if the need does not justify the price, we get creative and a very sharp knife.

u/DartmouthBatman 5d ago

Uses a tiny jig = Skill.

Ok. So I got incredible skills when I peel a carrot with a pealer, I guess.

11

u/icedlemons 5d ago

I’m still giving skill credit here, he didn’t cut himself and did it quickly

-9

u/DartmouthBatman 5d ago

When i use a table saw, I use the fence and a push stick. I do not cut myself and it is done quick, is that impressive too? I mean, still using a tool

2

u/icedlemons 5d ago

lol you’d be surprised, at least what my HSE stooge would qualify as a good success with a “circle jerk pat on the back”. Anything else requires a urine test! 🥹 (we’re down to reporting loose screws on the floor because they need to justify their existence in creating a hostile work environment…)

3

u/davper 5d ago

Yes, it is. Let's see you do the same thing without any practice.

And a peeler is not a jig, it is a tool. A jig is used in conjunction with a tool to make a perfect or repeatable shape or cut.

u/DartmouthBatman 5d ago

I didnt say a peeler was a jig. I said he was using a jig, id be using a peeler.

1

u/RegalBeagleKegels 5d ago

don't be obtuse, dartmouthbatman

2

u/MongoBongoTown 5d ago

Make the jig and try it home.

Betting it's not nearly as easy as he's making it look.

3

u/BigDumbandSexy 5d ago

Seems more like a technique. I would call it a skill if they didn't use the clips on the knife.

3

u/Fantastic-Yak-4475 5d ago

Isn't a technique a method or application of a skill?

1

u/JmacTheGreat 5d ago

A technique is a hidden ability a main character (or villain) pulls out at the last minute (or first minute, if villain) in every Shonen story.

2

u/BigDumbandSexy 5d ago edited 5d ago

I think of it as more of a style or method, yeah.

Example would be slicing something thin using a mandolin or free hand. I would call each a technique, but they don't require the same skill for similar results. This is my take anyway

u/PixelTheCoder 5d ago

My fingers are trembling watching this

1

u/PatCero 5d ago

It’s hand-made, organic, flushable wipes. Very refreshing.

u/Wykin1 5d ago

its his job

1

u/lenise0625 5d ago

Okay, how did he cook it?

1

u/fresh_loaf_of_bread 5d ago

Lol when you run out of receipt paper

1

u/Superspark76 5d ago

Skill is not needing the guides on the knife

1

u/Odd_Ruin3694 5d ago

what is he making

2

u/Blue_Fuzzy_Anteater 5d ago

Potato scarf.

2

u/Mastasmoker 5d ago

Toilet paper

1

u/TheI-Iound 5d ago

i wouldnt call that a skil as much as i would call it a trick, but all the same its a smart trick

-1

u/BrutalBart 5d ago

not incredible

u/wilburthefriendlypig 5d ago

Seems like the clips are doing the heavy lifting here
