Has anybody tested both in parallel and did form an opinion between a stovetop pressure cooker and an instant pot? Mainly I want to cook beans, since I fell in love with the book 'Cool Beans'. I am currious about the set it and forget it nature of the Instant pot. I have a rice cooker and...

As I was having a closer look on my borner I also had a closer look at the blades. As I can't edit the original post I'll append here what I've found. Although these are more interesting technical features that shouldn't play to much of a role when deciding which of the mandolines to get. (1)...

@MarcelNL @Justinv I rather should have written that it can be questioned how many people outside of this wonderfull community really sharpen their blades. Especially since there is no contact with a cutting board the wear on the blade is much lower, then with a kitchen knife.

Yes, I do use both hand guards. In short, the borner feels safer and I like it a lot. The benriner works only on the last piece of vegetable. But in this role it gives you a smaller remaining piece of vegetable that is leftover and works better overall. The long answer, as I can't edit the...

@hibbs00 I did a tutorial about the topic, once. https://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/threads/tutorial-on-how-to-thin-european-knives.61403/

A few years back, when I wanted to buy a mandoline slicer I got a Swissmar Borner V5/Börner V5, because my mother had a Börner V3 and was very happy with the model even after years of use. A week ago I decided to get a Benriner Mandoline because it has the ability to cut very thin slices. Since...

Well actually only 60 percent of the time, it works every time.

Interesting that nobody seems to have posted anything from Salvatore Ganacci. Myself included.

Have you already seen this report about a knife with hollow-grind? The Hollow The guy ordered a custom knife with a rather thick geometry that is still easily cutting. He explaines some of the factors that were important for the design of the overall geometry. For me this knife looks awesome...

Edit: Moved it to a different place as it made more sense there.

I didn't have the need to refresh these stones, as I have them for a month or so. I really enjoy the arkansas as well the spyderco stones. For a long time I avoided sharpening on a stone because of the process of drying the stone. Both these stones are an excellent solution for fast touchups on...

It's been a while so a lot of stuff to show... DMD 400/1200 Diamond plate. Spyderco 302M Spyderco 302F Spyderco 306UF The Spyderco stones where more of a spontaneus buy as I could get the whole set new for 200 Euros. Skerper Arkansas Hard Black RH Preyda Surgical Black Müller Hard Translucent...

@M1k3 You are most definitly confused because this was a reply to this post: Maybe I forgot to quote it, though :oops:.

I never had any problems. If you turn on the machine it starts with its minimum speed of 0,6 kilometers per hour. I usually have at least one hand on my desk. So I have a very direct feedback if I am mooving to fast or to slow. Please note that this treadmill is not meant to raise your...

@Jovidah I feel you. The prices are rising constantly for these knives. Even a year ago you could get them significantly cheaper. More and more we are coming to a point where you'd have to think twice if they are realy worth their money. Especially considering the situation that in germany...
