an apprentice chef is the type of person who is discovering cooking and learning basics in either a cooking school or following a culinary art career..he learns all the basics such as different types of cuts,cleaning of materials,vegetable peeling and keeping the workplace tidy...whereas a commis chef has already undergone training and assists the demi chef or chef de partie in tasks such as cooking and preparing mise en place and guiding the apprentice..
A 'commi' is not an apprentice chef. A commi is the lowest of the low that still handles food. Dishwashers are lower than commis, but only just.
What is the difference between a 4 star chef and a 5 star chef?
Chefs rankings are as follows. Chef de Cuisine...... Head chef Sous Chef ...... Second chef Chef de partie ..... A chef who runs a section these will be chef patissier / pastry chef.......... chef saucier / chef who cooks the meat dishes............chef poissonier / chef who cooks the fish dishes............chef entremittier / chef who prepares and cooks the vegetables / veg dishes .............. chef Garde mangier/ larder chef , he will make the pates & terrines and prepare raw meat , fish etc, salads and starters, normally all of the chef de parties will have a commis chef to assist them .......... commis chefs are trainee chefs Hope this helps
$20 an hour

A commis chef is a junior or apprentice chef (cooker) or someone who has just completed an apprenticeship. It can be translated to Portuguese as "aprendiz de cozinheiro" (cooker apprentice) or "cozinheiro junior" (junior cooker).
A 'commi' is not an apprentice chef. A commi is the lowest of the low that still handles food. Dishwashers are lower than commis, but only just.
I believe that commis is French for assistant.A Commis is a trainee or assistant Chef and the first step on the ladder of Chef 'ranks'Clearly, once a trainee Chef becomes qualified, s/he would then be addressed as a Commis Chef. Prior to qualification as a Chef, s/he would be just a trainee Chef.
you will move up a rank in the kitchen e.g basic ranking is APPRENTICE>COMMIS>1ST COMMIS>2ND>3RD>DEMI CHEF DE-PARTIE> CHEF DE-PARTIE>SENIOR CHEF DE-PARTIE>JUNIOR SOUS CHEF>SOUS CHEF>SENIOR SOUS CHEF>EXECUTIVE SOUS CHEF> CHEF DE CUISINE>HEAD CHEF>EXECUTIVE HEAD CHEF
A commis 1 is the senior commis chef or chef assistant. His job consists on assisting the Chef in the preparation and cooking of food. While still learning the trade, he should be able to work every station in the kitchen.
•maitre d' hotel •first head waiter •head waiter •chef derang (head) •commis derang •busboy •chef sommelier •commis de sommelier •chef de buffet •chef de trancheur •commis de trancheur that's what ive got.. hihihi
it is a position above a commis but below a chef de partie
Commis means junior cookalso works in a specific station, but reports directly to the chef de partie (senior chef)and takes care of the tools for the station. Commis have stage also. either I, II, or III. more the upper stage, more the position is high.
A commis is anapprentice in larger kitchens that works under a chef de partie in order to learn the station's responsibilities and operation.[ This may be a chef who has recently completed formal culinary training or is still undergoing training.A chef is a person who cooks professionally. In a professional kitchen setting, the term is used only for the one person in charge of everyone else in the kitchen, the executive chef.
well, if you are an executive chef(the highest in the kitchen) i think the commis or the apprentices does the cutting and preparing :)
The average wage of a Third Year Apprentice Chef is about $9.50 per hour.
