this isn't spelled correctly, I know but phonetically it sounds like: mizen plass. I think it means "chopped in pieces of the same size." Am I on the right track?
thanks!

thanks Katie E! We love to watch the food channel shows, but sometimes it's hard to catch everything-(Wait , what did he say!!!!?) Thanks for the info!

it's the ONLY way to cook.
The ONLY way?
My mise en place is having all the ingredients out on the counter to be sure I have everything but I don't measure things until I need them. I'm the only one who does dishes around here and the thought of all those little dishes to wash is not my idea of fun. I also don't think Emeril does his own prep work. He probably has a sous chef or two doing all the prep of chopping, mincing, slicing, measuring. If I had that luxury I could cook like him too!

Some of his shows, I'm not sure which ones because aren't they all reruns anyway (?), he would routinely call someone from behind the scenes to bring him what he was missing. He has around 4-5 people back there doing the work for him. I think it became part of his show because then they would chat a while and the person coming out would always have a headset on.
I don't have the room to have everything ready. I'm more of a grab it as I need it kind of cook.

maybe she meant to say "the correct way?" or "The organized way?"
In a professional kitchen, it IS the ONLY way.
that's not ALL tv cooking shows or big name chefs.
i've personally seen bobby flay and martha stewart cook things through until finished, without the "magic" oven. it depends on the dish (some recipes naturally lend themselves to a fast finish), and the shows allotted time and budget.
