Tasting food in kitchen
When cooking (for example, in a restaurant), is it common for cooks in the same team to taste each other's dishes (still in progress), without asking for a permission?
Best Answer
In a restaurant, yes, cooks do a lot of tasting of others work. This is mainly for quality control and to maintain consistency of product. Example: the morning cook's souffle needs to taste like the evening cook's souffle.
Restaurant cooks are team oriented and focused on getting product onto customer tables. Restaurant cooks also learn from each other---most cooks learn On-the-Job, as opposed to culinary school.
In a competition, on the other hand, cooks rarely taste each other's work (with permission or not) before judging.

I am a professional cook trained by the US Air Force and the correct way cooks normally taste the food is to use the spoon they are cooking with, to put some food in a small tasting dish, where they will use a different(!) spoon to put it in their mouth, thereby not cross contaminating the food.15 Times Gordon Ramsay Actually LIKED THE FOOD!
