So you may have heard this phrase tossed around a lot. I know I've been getting a lot of questions about it. Top Chef, Hell's Kitchen and basically any show on the Food Network are constantly using this term. So what does "mise en place" mean? Well, first off, it's pronounced miz a plas. It literally means putting in place. It's prepping all of your ingredients so it's much easier to assemble them when cooking. It's measuring out all of your ingredients and placing them in individual bowls. It also includes washing and cutting all ingredients.
If you have never used this method, definitely give it a try! Especially when baking! {and Chinese food} It makes it so much easier to have all the ingredients right there ready to go.
So there you go, hopefully you learned something today : )
