Vacuum sealing knives is definitely a concept I'd never heard of.
Won't a sharp knife split the sealing material?
Hmmm. Rereading, maybe you are talking about sealing after wrapping in paper so maybe that is sufficient?

Re: We bought an induction range.
Do smooth glass tops like this get scratched by back and forth movement of a pan? I know I move things around quite a bit when on the stove.

It's with that in mind that I can provide some background/info about how we do it (your needs may vary). Producing ...

Re: Do you like this idea?
Would it be easier to have a filter for the "Show out of stock items" option to be on the Search Results page? For example, the user could just type "Anryu" or "Konosuke" in search and they could just check off the "Show out of stock items" to filter what's a...

Question for anyone who owns the Jones V2 knife block
This is the item in question if the title wasn't clear. Is it solid inside? Or open slotting like V1 ? And if you have it, how do you like it? I've just moved to a new place and despite meticulous measuring of many other things, didn't realize the space under the cabinets makes it impossible to use...

Re: Group Buy from Japan
That's the brand my Japanese friend recommends.
Yes! I make my own but sometimes I stock up on some packets from Kayanoya. Good to have on hand.

Re: Group Buy from Japan
Maybe some interesting/high-quality instant dashi packets/powders that aren't as available here.
I like making dashi from scratch, but these are good in a pinch.

Re: Field cast iron skillets factory seconds sale

I may use my stainless All-Clad 6qt saute a bit more regularly, but that's probably because it has a tight-fitting ...

Re: Magnetic Rack to show off amazing knives
There are two included drywall screws (I forget the size). You drill a hole for each one, sink the drywall anchors, use and use the included screws to mount a small metal bar. There is a cut-out notch on the back of the rack that fits over this metal bar. The same magnets that hold your knives also ...

Re: The Future of High End Japanese Knives
I agree it was an interesting read. Thanks for sharing. One thing that strikes me is Mark's ability to continue to find new products and producers here - either by coaxing someone who makes a related product into trying their hand at knife making or nudging an existing producer to try something new ...

Re: Jones Walnut knife block
Hmmmm. That angle seems pretty high to me. I would think the point of this is to tilt it slightly off the counter to make it easier to grab a knife. There is probably a sweet spot between horizontal on the counter and vertical. While this probably varies a bit based on your height or the height of t...

Ronnie I also buy Partanna. I make sure not to push the filler down since it seems to be an iffy design idea to me. I always buy 3L cans/containers of olive oil, but I pour it into a smaller 500ml bottle with a pour spout for daily use and refill as needed. Some use squeeze bottles for this kind of...

Re: Baking Much?
I bake a little hotter (470) so maybe that's part of it. I'll play around with either the sheet pan underneath or stacking the bottom on the lid.
