1. The Fugu Puffer Fish

A Japanese delicacy, this deadly dish’s organs contain a neurotoxin 1,000 times more powerful than cyanide. The most dangerous and possibly hardest dish to cook on this list, Fugu must first be dismembered using special Japanese knives and its parts hastily separated into ‘edible’ or ‘deadly’. Only specially trained and licensed chefs in Japan are permitted to serve it. A post shared by ??? ???? ????? (@lets_eat_at_here) on Aug 15, 2017 at 7:07pm PDT Researchers claim to have perfected a method of farming that ensures the liver contains not a single trace of deadly toxins - though we’re still not convinced! The Japanese emperor is forbidden from eating Fugu, lest he fall foul of the fishes’ lethal organs.

2. Mole Poblano

Some date this difficult dish from as far back as 500 years ago. A Mexican favourite, Mole Poblano requires more than 20 different ingredients including dried chillies, dried herbs, seeds, nuts, spices, bread, stock and Mexican chocolate. It also requires a hearty helping of patience, as Mole can sometimes take several days to prepare. The end result? A rich, dark sauce with a kick!

3. Soufflé

Soufflé is the poster child for difficult dishes, as a deflated soufflé can get a ‘rise’ out of even the most experienced chefs. If you’re whipping up a soufflé, keep an eye out for any egg whites that aren’t beaten sufficiently, because these will cause the fluffy tower to collapse. Like Yorkshire Puddings, a good soufflé needs to be well-beaten! Even the tiniest bit of egg yolk in the mixture will end in disaster, as the protein molecules from the yolk surround any air bubbles before they can grow large enough to get a healthy rise. A top tip when it comes to soufflé baking is to use room temperature eggs, and always bake using the bottom oven rack.

Vegetarians, avert your eyes! A product of American Thanksgiving indulgence, turducken (or a three bird roast) is a fairly recent concoction when compared to the other difficult meals to cook in this list. However, the concept of animal-stuffed-animal roasts can be traced as far back as Roman times. The few and the proud will make #turducken this #thanksgiving. The #NYTCooking recipe is through our profile link. (Photo: @andrewscrivani) A post shared by NYT Food (@nytfood) on Nov 23, 2016 at 1:54pm PST This laborious meal consists of chicken stuffed inside a duck, that is then stuffed inside a turkey. The key to achieving the perfect turducken is, once all meats are deboned, to roast carefully as to avoid drying out the meats and losing any succulence. Though creating this dish is a time-consuming task, it makes an impressive table centrepiece when teamed with the right tableware.

5. Consommé

Widely used as the metric of a chef’s ability, consommé is one of the most challenging dishes to cook. Despite its light and small yield, traditional consommé requires a large amount of meat; which is why it was long associated with society’s upper classes who could afford such extravagance! A clear soup made using meat, tomato, egg whites and stock, this dish is slowly simmered to draw all impurities to the surface for skimming. The trick to the perfect consommé is mastering the simmer, and combining this with frequent stirring. Whatever culinary challenge you’re tasked with, make sure you’re fully prepared with our full range of Kitchen Equipment and Catering Appliances.
