What kuan is doing is pure instinct--he's running on auto-pilot: Multi-tasking and planning everything out 4 and 5 steps ahead. If you watch the Exec Chef and the experienced ones you'll see this, everything planned out ahead--right down to where they'll lay down a dirty spoon, where their hands blindly and automatically reach out for a common used tool or knife, and anal retentive tendancies as to how the station's low-boy fridge and general mise en place are set up. These are tricks to shave off time; planning ahead chops off hunks of time, and multi tasking is what you breathe...
