Name that Cooking Sound?

May 27th, 2008 by Joe, Co-founder of Rouxbe

As you may or may not know, cooking sounds are important indicators in cooking. The sound that an ingredient makes when it hits a frying pan can tell you right away if the pan is at the right temperature.

To become a great cook… you need to begin noticing what cooking ’sounds’ like. To get you thinking about this, let’s see who can name the following sound:

Bragging rights are on the table. Who’s up with a guess? First one to guess the sound gets a Annual Premium Membership to Rouxbe.

PS Check back, we will post additional hints everyday.

Hints:

HINT 1: it is something that an Italian Nonna might use….
(next hint at 5:00pm PST)

WE HAVE A WINNER!

Thanks for playing the game….. and even though John Principe had three guesses, we’re happy to say that he picked the correct sound. It is from this recipe:

Sun-dried Tomato Sauce

And it is a “food mill” used to process the tomatoes. The preview shows the device and the full recipe will highlight the sound that was taken as is from the video.

Stay tuned for our next cooking challenge on Monday, June 2….

    pulsing a food processor blending eggs

  15. on 27 May 2008 at 6:00 am15 John Principe

    This is an automated sound! Perhaps the single pulse of a food processor/slicer.
