Well, I’m downsizing/moving overseas. I’m getting a small pied a terre in nyc attached to a pretty well equipped kitchen so I want to try to find a new home for some redundant kitchen equipment that’s pretty large format. Everything is well over twenty years old and good shape inside the pans...

So… I made some pork confit using a mixture of animal fats and olive oil I cooked it low for five hours and submerged the pork in the fat, put the jars in the fridge I see there’s clear liquid on the bottom and solidified fat on the top. Is this okay or did I not separate the fat thoroughly...

Yes, it’s true, we’re more obsessed with kitchen cutlery than most people, and I have the data to back it up! https://wapo.st/3t06GWn

I realize that we don’t really pay a lot of attention to the mass market segment of the industry but I found it interesting to look at Matteo Thuns body of work for zwilling over the years. Not sure if anyone will remember this, but he was one of the most influential people behind the radical...

Wondering if someone can give me some advice… I’m going to make Braised Lotus Root (Renkon Kinpira) for thanksgiving for 30. I’m wondering if it’s okay to saute the lotus root in peanut oil the day ahead and then just do the braising step on thanksgiving. If I do pre sauté it, should I...

I went to get some fresh pasta in Greenwich Village yesterday. I’ve been watching these guys cut my fettuccine for about forty years now. They used the new machine from the seventies, I think the older machine is getting ready to celebrate its 100th birthday. If you’re around the place is called...

I made a dinner for fifty people the other day for my cousins sister in law’s 65th birthday and as a thank you she sent me a five pound box of apricots from Frog Hollow Farm. I’m here to tell you that this east coast boy never knew an apricot could taste so good...

This strata of the restaurant world leaves me a little cold, but I thought it worth noting here that they make such a big deal of their hand forged cutlery. I can’t agree strongly enough with the conclusion the critic arrived at...

Gently sauté a little garlic and red pepper flakes in oil, add some kale and a splash of water. Salt as you go. Let it reduce in volume, maybe three minutes. Add some spinach and give that another three. Finely dice the rind only of a quarter of a preserved lemon and toss it in for the last 30...

Hi all, I'm planning on going away for 2 months, staying at airBNB's. I'm sure I'll be doing this more in the future. I'm looking for a one stone solution to sharpen crappy rental knives that's a small form factor. Not looking for refinement, just basic sharpening. I'm thinking something in...

So, my gf went to Paris to close on an apartment. Simple little studio, sort of like owning a hotel room. Naturally, we’re going to cram a dining table in there, so I want a semi capable cooktop, but I doubt if it’ll be used for forty meals a year I was looking at this guy...

If there one thing I love it’s a good article about material science. Link should work...

@KingShapton posted what sounds like a terrific coleslaw laced with mustard, reminded me of this recipe, thought I'd post it. I have some close friends who live in Ghent (Gent) who brought me to this little historic mustard store in the center of the city where I got the most, ahem, attention...

Here you go, a new years tradition... (in the words of Mies van der Rohe (who apparently stole it from Flaubert), God is in the details on this one) Get the best dried peas you can. If you're in the US I can't recommend Rancho Gordo highly enough. Soak 2 cups of them in well salted water for...

Hello all, wondering if anyone has experience with buying maple countertops. I'm looking for an 80" x 36" maple countertop for my kitchen island. No water or stove cutouts over there I found this place online, but they're just a website to me. Anyone bought anything like this and have any...
