Went back and watched the video multiple times sometimes at 0.5 speed. Gaby had the worst yield out of anyone. She cut only 30% of the potato and likewise with the jicama. I kept wondering how with the speed she was going in, she didn't come last. What little she cut, she did well. But she definitely didn't have the flow that someone like Chris, Molly or Brad did. Chris on the other hand, the perfectionist that is he, did have the highest yield and phenomenal technique. Followed by Brad. Thus, Brad wins the challenge (not that anyone except Molly tried)

@@RachelDavis705 she's actually not. You should never hold a knife with your index finger on top of the blade. It creates instability that you won't find in, say, Brad's hold, where his hand is farther up the knife. I'm not sure how to describe the hold without physically showing someone. Additionally, her non-knife hand is begging for her to chop off her fingers--she doesn't grip the produce safely, which is to say a bear claw sort of hold with the fingers curled in. Ideally, the knife then rests against your knuckles, creating more stability, as well as security, because then it's basically impossible to cut yourself

IDK if anyone's said this before but Brad is the Marshal Eriksen of Bon Appetit because he's fluffy, energetic, bright, and creative PLUS he's incredibly good at his job but we don't focus on that because we see his personality first.

Says someone who needs 6 minutes to dice a single potato. Everything is a waste of time if you suck at it. Judging by her knife skills, she takes 45 minutes to make a simple omelette with vegetables. Unless of course she just chucks the whole things in, skin and all, because apparently knowing how to use knife in the kitchen is overrated.

Watching this the second time around -- because watching these videos is helping me stay sane -- I paid attention to knife grip used by the different chefs. Since I finally had to replace my nearly 30yo chef's knife this week, it was informative for me to see what knives the chefs were using and how they gripped them.
