Name That Cooking Sound #4 w/ A Twist

June 16th, 2008 by Joe, Co-founder of Rouxbe

Welcome to week #4 for the “Name that Cooking Sound” competition.

Last week Tim guessed our cooking sound on the very first guess. Amazing we thought! Turns out that Tim had actually been doing his homework. In his own words:

“I had actually been studying all the sounds things make in my kitchen and from sound clips from google and rouxbe; so I guess I was just an obsessive student of cooking sounds ;-)”

And who says that hard work and dedication doesn’t pay off. So, this week, we thought we’d throw in a little twist just for fun. In fact, some here at Rouxbe Central (at least Dawn) think I’m a bit crazy with this one. But what the heck… here goes.. let’s see who’s up for the challenge.

Extreme bragging rights in Rouxbe’s Community and a brand spankin’ new Wusthof Classic Ikon Pairing Knife are up for grabs to the first person that correctly guesses, not one, but ALL four unique cooking sounds in this cooking clip. Good luck. No hate mail please :)

Oh… and for those of you that might not know, you need to click through on the title of the post from your email to respond to this blog.

* Previous games #1 (here), #2 (here) and #3 (here) if curious for those new to the competition.

** Nice work on the clip Mr. Tunes… Hey… and for those interested, our Audio Director plays some pretty great tracks on his personal blog here.

Hint #1: 2:45PM PST – Two of the four sounds are mentioned below… Two more to go. Must have all four:) Go John… dance! Next HINT later tonight if required….

Hint #2: 8:15AM PST, June 20 – Akhter (comment #8) has three of the right sounds.

Hint #3: 6:48 PM, June 21 – Nutmeg Grater is not one of the sounds.

WINNER: Congratulations Derek! We have our winner! It was whisking, egg cracking, chopping, and a creme brulee torch. Have a listen now.

    What in the world is that? It sounds like a great ringing tone to me.

    Wow, interesting twist; this one really is rather difficult

    Very cool sound; someone is very talented! Could it be the sounds of a vegetable peeler, a rasp, cracking an egg and a brulee torch? Whatever it is; I like the beat!
