I have a couple of colleagues in the kitchen where I work who stand babbling, as if in a daze, if they see a mistake’s been made, sometiems for up to a minute. Very frustrating for me, as I prefer to just solve the problem. I remember one time holding my hand out to ask for the pan as my colleague stood with it, stirring it with a pair of tongs, repeatedly muttering that there weren’t enough peas in the linguine, and I was saying, fine, then give me the pan and I’ll chuck more peas in, but she just kept yammering away. Really fucks me off, haha.
The advantage of Chinese kitchen utensils, and layout is that I could just grab a ladel full of peas and dump them into the pan in such a situation. I had my own wok to deal with, but there’s a surprising amount of down time in cooking.
