You Thought Smarter, but are Working Harder?

     Logic was lost in thought process of a student one day in the banquets kitchen. When blanching vegetables, shocking them in ice water is recommended, which this student did just fine.

     

     Working smarter, my classmate filled a large bowl with ice water and placed a colander in it to extract the vegetables with ease, putting them in the colander then removing them with it. The unfortunate part is, this is not exactly how the removal of the vegetables took place.

     

     Working harder, said classmate used a slotted spoon to begin removing the produce one piece at a time.

 Uh…. Hello? It’s in a colander, just pick it up so the water drains and dump it into the container.  -5 points for stupidity
