GPT-4o mini · Answer

The answer is C) Both chefs are correct.

Chef A's point about using fingertips for better control and an even coat is valid in certain contexts, particularly in small-scale cooking where the chef has clean hands and is comfortable with that method.

Chef B's concerns about hygiene and even coating when using a salt shaker are also valid, especially in a professional kitchen environment where hygiene is paramount and consistency is key.

Thus, both chefs present valid arguments depending on the context.
