Step 1: Scorch milk for like 2 hours without stirring
Step 2: In separate pot heat up a bunch of butter and add flower.
Step 3: In third pot, pour in scorched milk and add roux.
Step 4: Profit?

    It almost looks like it was left out and it grew stuff … a lot of stuff.

    Worried that “flower” is the genuine ingredient used given how bad the rest of this looks

    So let me get this straight:
    Step 1: burn milk
    Step 2: make roux
    Step 3: combine & add more roux
    Step 4: lose cost of milk, butter, flour, labor for him, labor for dishwasher and whatever my last nerves cost while taking the time to explain why he’s a fucking asshole
    ?

    Bro, “former” better be permanent, lol

    My favorite is when they reheat it in an aluminum pot and whisk the shit out of it

    Is “bechamel” French for “trypophobia inducing insect eggs”?? Because if it is, he is right on

    Gee how I love the smell and taste of burnt milk.

    Crazy how many hacks out there call themselves chefs. Make me sad…

    My head chefs bechamel has the consistency of mushy peas so I feel you.

  9. My first thought without reading the title was “uh oh, someone messed up a batch of caramel”….

    This takes me back. Your former chef work in Hamilton by chance?

    Before I read the headline, I was thinking “that’s a really nice looking tiramisu”.

    Get out the bench scraper to get this off

  13. So they don’t know how to make a bechamel, got it

    It’s always awesome when the “chef” tries to pretend they’re a cook

    Chef at my place made a lovely bechamel (post mixing roux and milk) the other day that took almost 4 hours to carve off the bottom of the pan. I think he must have left it on when he went home and took it off the following day when he came in.

  16. Okay, but this looks like when a sidewalk gets worn down too much and the pebbles start showing through.

  17. This is wild. How do you fuck up a mother sauce, much less use more than 1 pot to make said mother sauce?

  18. The béchamel always tastes better with a smoky accent. It says so in the LaRousse /s

  19. My favorite way to make it is in our steam jacketed kettles as it’s almost dummy proof. I’ve burnt some before in pans.
