Looking for a gently used one on behalf of my daughter. Thanks!

We bought my son a 225 Martell stainless gyuto when he graduated from college, so that would be my preference for my daughter. I don't think Dave made many that size so I am open to others in that same price range which I think was around 400. Marko or Devin Thomas ITK would also be great. She...

I thought this idea was interesting so while it's not about what are we cooking it's worth a read. PA20170044.pdf (paleoanthro.org) The abstract: This paper begins by exploring the role of fermented and deliberately rotted (putrefied) meat, fish, and fat in the diet of modern hunters and...

Wanted to give a shout out to Nagakin. I sent him money when he offered to split a Master Class offer and 8 months later I got around to activating my membership. I had all sorts of issues which involved getting more info from Nagakin and he responded quickly and happily. I've been binge...

Tonight I was cooking from a new cookbook I am really enjoying: https://www.amazon.com/Gaijin-Cookbook-Japanese-Lifelong-Outsider/dp/1328954358/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3LJ2TKSA0OTUI&keywords=japanese+recipes+from+a+chef%2C+father%2C+eater&qid=1571703927&sprefix=japanese+recipe%2Caps%2C124&sr=8-1 and...

So I know it's a Sat night but if you are looking for something to do watch the Stanley Cup game 3. My home team, the Wash Caps, are in it for the first time in 20 years against another exciting team the Los Vegas Knights. I'm not that familiar with LVK but watch for Wilson for hits...

There was a nice discussion going on about these in the "shig/kato as tools" thread but I was thought it deserved it's own thread, especially as I wanted to ask more questions;). They seem designed to work at a prep/sushi table - long and narrow. There are smaller versions that are more...

Looking for one for my sister;). Her budget is around 200. Prefer a WA handle. She lives in Snowmass CO so if there are any ski bums that are interested we could trade lift tickets or cheap equipment rentals.

We are staying home, which is fine by me;) playing board games, eating a great dinner, and drinking too much wine to safely drive. Thinking of cooking hanger steaks on the grill, grilled brussel sprouts, and french fries. Still trying to decide on another side. I'll start with a Pinot for...

I think we all knew this was bound to happen, still sad to see it go down on many levels. I'm sure he will not be the only chef to be stepping down in the next few months. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/celebrity-chef-mario-batali-accused-sexual-harassment-by-multiple-women-1066116

We have a tradition that our children get to plan the menu on their B-days. In the past it's been something we have made before, but is expensive enough or difficult enough to make that it is a nice treat. Rack of lamb and osso bucco are common requests. My son who turned 18 on Friday has...

So, i picked up the above and am planning on cooking it in a water bath for 4 hrs at 140 with some sage, thyme, salt, pepper, and then finishing it in peanut oil. I'm looking for a brine and was thinking of salt, garlic, crushed juniper berries, peppercorns but need help with ratios or other...

So I bought this at a book sale at the local library, and while it's a great book, the recipes don't speak to me. 1st edition and in very good shape. All I ask is you pay shipping. Limiting this to members who are site supporters with over 100 posts -unless this breaks a rule, in which case a...

So I've been absent the forum the last few weeks and will sound like a chef when I say work has been kicking my A**:biggrin:. For the past month I have been wiring up the AV and surveillance systems, the lighting and shading controls, and the internet WAP's. Because the walls of the house are...

PP is having a sale of 50% off of some of their larger sizes in most of their varieties. They are changing names and moving inventory. https://www.sirspice.com/ They are also promising faster shipping with a new warehouse etc.

My picture loading skill are lacking so I will be doing one knife per post and adding as time allows. Some of these I no longer own, sigh... Going to try and keep this in the chronological order in which I bought them. Fist up is of course my first J-knife, a Takeda 250mm gyuto with a great...

This is my forth go at this, getting happier with the results each time, so far;). Pictures are out of order, but I'm to lazy to correct them. Second pic is first, they have been coated in Ruhlmann's cure ingredients but using ratios from diggingdogfarm, I went by the rule of thumb of 7 days...

So the title says it all. We finally got our kids passports and new ones for ourselves and our big trip this summer is... Niagra Falls and Toronto. I've been told the CN Tower is pretty cool and the restaurant is pretty good but expensive, anyone else been there? My children are 14 and 17 and...

This is a favorite of mine. Dry brined overnight then vacuum sealed along with pepper, sage, and thyme. Once out of the water bath the sage stayes in place for the quick fry in about a 1/4 inch of canola oil. Ran late so I was not allowed to take pictures of the finished product, sorry!
