how do restaurants cook fresh food so quickly?

1.21K viewsOther

I know you can essentially cook anything in 5 minutes if it’s already been prepared, like boiled, fried beforehand. But restaurants use fresh ingredients, so how are they serving me in 15 minutes a freshly fried pork belly that needs at least 30 minutes to boil, then another like 10 minutes to fry, etc?

Sysco Food Distribution, US Foods, PFG, and companies like it make the industry what it is today. In addition to prep cooks who chop dice par boil and pre bake…co’s like Sysco sell that fancy little molten cake or tiramisu, or tart. A chef can buy fancy ganache by the bucket load, croissants…baked or not, and sous vide pork belly fully cooked and ready to heat. Plus thousands of other kinds of meat, seafood, baked goods, French onion soup concentrate, Hollandaise fully prepared, or powdered, vegetables and fruit fresh dried powdered, chopped, minced, whole, mashed, or pureed. It’s all about the money and time. From the hot dog cart to industrial kitchen. Oh, if Sysco doesn’t have it the buyers will find it for you. Costco is similar to Sysco, just much less grand scale. There’s still a little magic in food preparation/ service, however pull back the curtain and the magic has a hard reality to it.
