Nashville Business Journal’s Post

In today's piece, I look at how Hollywood defines diversity and what it means for chefs who want to host their own cooking show. To illustrate, I introduce you to two chefs, each excellent at what they do. Each hosts their own cooking show, only because YouTube makes it possible. Every day, I communicate with chefs who want to be on TV. And it's clear that none of them understand how Hollywood really works. It's also clear that most chefs do not understand the opportunity that YouTube provides. In U.S. households, YouTube is the number one TV streaming platform. Not Netflix or any of the others you can think of. YouTube is number one on TV. That means if you have a cooking show on YouTube, you have a cooking show on TV. If that's not an opportunity, I don't know what is. https://lnkd.in/epR2TUuc #culinary #cooking #foodbusiness #cheflife

Did you see this week's episode of MasterChef: The Professionals, where contestant Cristina Maia sustained #burns to her face after releasing the lid of a blender containing boiling hot bisque? Putting hot liquids in a blender is considered a definite "no-no", as it can create steam and pressure build up and result in explosion-like reaction, with the potential to cause significant burns and scalds! Blender and food processor manufacturers warn that their devices should not be used with hot liquids or hot food, as the air cannot escape, advising that all liquids should always be left to cool completely before putting the ingredients into the blender. Hot liquids expand, creating pressure from the inside that can blow off the lid, and result in an explosion of contents when you switch on the blender or when the blender is opened. The hot liquid will make a mess all over your kitchen, but more seriously - can result in severe burns from contact with the hot liquid contents. Texture and viscosity of the injuring agent - in this case, boiling hot bisque, as well as the duration of contact with scalding contents, will directly influence the depth of the burn. Blended food has a much more viscous consistency, which makes it less runny, much thicker and more tenacious than clear liquids. When hot blender contents spill onto the skin - they will stick more readily, not run off so easily, stay put for longer, and retain heat for prolonged period of time, leading to potentially deeper burns. I was incredibly pleased to see the show's Judge, Gregg Wallace, instruct Cristina to stop and "get it under cold water", with the medical crew insisting on continuing the application of wet soaks to the affected area on Cristina's face. Sometimes, these situations do happen. Knowing that you're the best first aider there and initiating immediate #coolwater20mins #FirstAid application will directly influence the outcome after burns and #scalds! #BeBurnsAware #CoolCallCover #Masterchef BBC https://lnkd.in/e_tWrbWx
