how do restaurants cook fresh food so quickly?

1.19K 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?

answer: something like pork belly is already boiled and then fried to order. its part of the prepping before service.

just like fresh pasta would have been made and set aside beforehand, meatballs or hamburger patties would be shaped and set aside, lasagne constructed but not cooked, etc.

portion size also helps a lot, if they are going to serve something like meat loaf or shepards pie they can’t give you something big enough for a family in 15 minutes, but it doesn’t take as long to cook if its small enough for one person.
