Question...seasoning steak/chicken???

spike7451

Reet,during the ad break the was one for Knorr stock cubes,where the loopy chef Marco P White crumbled a Knorr stock cube & mixed wit olive oil before basting over a chicken breast to 'lock in the flavor'...

Now,call me a thick Brummie but...

A-Is'nt this going to be salt & chemical overload!I mean even a disolved stock cube for gravy can be salty let alone smeared over a chicken!

B- More expensive than a pinch of S&P! (BY about 200%!)

I agree with those who very much doubt that Marco Pierre White ever used knorr stock cubes in his restaurants - having said that though, i'm sure i've seen a Gordon Ramsay video where he talked about how chefs always hate it when people ask for their steak 'well done' - he said that, as the customer, they have the right to ask for it that way, but that whenever people do request this, he always tells his chefs to cook the steak medium-rare, then add a ladleful of beef stock to the pan which dries up during the remaining cooking time - thus the steak is cooked to 'well done', but still remains juicy

whether or not he was referring to knorr beef stock cubes when he mentioned beef stock, i suppose we'll never know
