Depending on what you need, probably be faster to run to the store and buy sugar.

Y’all don’t have a Walmart, Kroger, Target or whatever close enough to just go grab a bag of Domino? I think my gas station carries domino sugar. I don’t bake so I’m sorry if there’s something I’m missing

bruh the store cant be that far away

I would definitely just go to the store and submit a receipt, this is a ridiculous waste of time for everyone.

This happened one time with ketchup 😂

When we don’t have what was needed my boss was awesome enough to ensure I had a business card for emergency purchases.

We emptied all the sugar packets and small condiment bottles when the pandemic started but that was a totally different situation. It’s ridiculous that they don’t have a petty cash box for situations like this.

I have had to do this exact thing except with Parmesan Cheese. I found out that the packets all together was 2 1/2 quarts of cheese

You have the measurements right there, why are you measuring every single one of them?? Like yeah that sucks, but math can help you out pretty damn quickly here….

Whoever is running the kitchen and didn’t send someone to the store is an idiot.

Wtf there’s not a Walmart or grocery store anywhere. This is so dumb.

Quick blitz in the food processor then sift out the packets and paper

I had to do this with Shiracha for a marinade. So irritating.

Just turn up your collar and put your hand in your pocket

Reminds me of the time I needed to finish the mashed potatoes for 100 person catering with only butter chips on hand. After the first 20 unwrapped I just threw the whole case of chips in a pot and melted them down straining off the wrappers. Def not servsafe but sometimes you gotta push forward.

Once had a box of expired, tiny half and half cups for coffee. I was tasked with opening all of them and putting them in deli containers. It took over an hour. Chef poured them out within a week.
Edit: she jokingly called it Charley Work (from it’s always sunny) as a way to make light of the situation/decision and simultaneously belittle me and make me feel undervalued.

Abso-fucking-likely not. Go get the fucking sugar, chef
chefkittious
I’ve done this with butter before

Put the bags in a robot coupe, blitz em, then put through a strainer. You have now earned a MacGruber badge.

Every restaurant I have ever worked in, we bought what we needed, walked up to the bar submitted a receipt and got handed cash.
This is insane and I would find a new place to work.

How many times did chef forget to order sugar? No way you use it that fast ,that’s what par levels are for no?
PleaseMakeUpYourMind
Go to the damn store already for fucks sake. This some bullshit. I would’ve already walked out.
Realexis1
I wonder if you could stack them, then just big chop them on one side – if you have a flexible cutting board that’d be ideal so you could just bend and tilt.
I know it’s not necessarily the goal of this post but I am curious how you could efficiently do this
Shh-its-alright
I’d just take cash from the till and run to the store. And if I got in trouble for it I’d quit. Fuck the ordering chef. They should be fired.
DBryguy
Yeah, you are!

That sucks. One time I had to use personal applesauce cups for baking apple muffins

Send someone to the store to buy a few kilos? 🤔
aTreeThenMe
man, this brings back memories of making a 7# batch of buerre blanc, and the only butter we had were the .2oz butter packets for bread service
failendog
It seems you were tearing each packet one by one? ???
Stack them packets like a deck of cards. Grab one end of the deck, slap it around flippity flop (to get sugar on one side of the packet) Then just grab a scissors and cut the top, tip em into a bowl
I could go thru that entire box under 5mins

Tell your manager he/she is an idiot. He or she needs to work on their critical thinking skills….

That reminds me when chef ordered individual graham crackers instead of bulk pk. Had to open so many to make chz cake

It seems like you might have pissed chef off. . .

Bowl with a strainer. Handful of sugar packets and scissors. Cut through all sugar packets in hand at once, dump in strainer. Sift the sugar from the paper

Hopefully you’re turning this into lots of really small cupcakes

I’m pretty sure what you are doing is against the Geneva Convention. Definitely a war crime.

Can’t you just run to a local market?

Oh I did that once as a junior sous. I didn’t order sugar and had to make bolognese. 50g of sugar emptied in packets. 🤦♂️.

You have to be specific when you tell some chefs you need more white powder.

just go to the store and buy some??
bigwetbeef
NOOOOOO!!!! Get your ass to restaurant depot or Sam’s club. This is aggression will not stand!
dickgilbert
Why don’t you just stab a bunch of packets and sift them through a strainer instead of opening them all individually?
kobrakai1034
is this a helicopter-in restaurant? Go to the damn store.

I asked my husband to buy some sugar so I could make a cheesecake. The man brought me sugar cubes. I feel your pain.
