cooking under pressure

This is not to be confused with using a pressure cooker.  I like to watch Master Chef. Even though this year is a rerun because of the Pandemic. I missed enough of last year's episodes to make it mostly new to me. I'm the kind of cook who likes to have everything possible done a day ahead if I'm having company.  Remember the good old days of entertaining?  I do like to cook and bake, but it's more fun to watch someone else do it. Especially with the clock ticking.  I'm always amazed at the final efforts that the wannabe chefs present to the judges.  Some look great, some not so much but I very seldom think "Hey, I could do that."  There are a couple of things that bother me though.  If I was one of the contestants, deep in the middle of creating something great with time ticking by, I would be really irritated when the judges want me to stop and chat about what I'm doing.  Really, can't they just wait till I'm finished?   The other thing that bothers me is hair.  When I'm cooking or baking for others. I always cover my hair.  I would hate to have anyone find a hair in anything I've cooked.  But, on Master Chef, half the women and a couple of the men have long hair just kind of hanging around their faces. Evidently it's not a problem, but I'm still waiting for a judge to find a hair in the food.  They probably would cut that part out, but I'll keep watching just in case.
