Drewski, Top is the Classic with a 3-5/8"blade,middle is the Bob Bat Hunter with a 3-1/2" blade and the bottom is the Frontier Valley with a 3 inch blade. Notice the handle size in comparison to each other. All seem just fine to me but I gravitate to the shorter blades for the control that I prefer...

Here is the Bob Cat Hunter by Bark River with CPM154 How do you find the slightly smaller Bobcat vs the Classic Drop Point? Based on online specs, the blade is about a quarter inch shorter but the handle is about a half inch shorter. Blade is also thinner on the Bobcat. Any preferences? Noticeable ...

Hmm I watched a Bobby Flay brunch show where he made it with strawberries and it looked great. does this recipe come close to what its supposed to be? https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/strawberries-filled-with-clotted-cream-1961473 That's interesting, but I'd say no. I don't think ther...

Can't help with locating a Sabatier (I'd buy it out from under you if it was a pre-70's if I could), but a Mac Mighty is a really good "beater" - I have a couple of them, and would let any of my guests use them. Still razors that can take a beating in the wrong hands. Far better than a German blade...

My partner uses one a few times a year. I think they are fun. While in England, we tried using "double cream" in it which is about 48% fat (our premise is more fat = better). However, being so much more than the 35% in heavy cream, it whipped in the canister, but would not come out. Lesson learned. ...

Has anyone had the chance to try the new product? I think it's pipeline steel and it has a new handle

Didn't know what you were referring to until I went to look. Will be interested to hear how the handle and different steel compare.

Wide and narrow convex grinds on Bark River knives As many of you know I AM a fan of Bark River knives and impressed with the initial factory grinds on their knives. But I also like to experiment a bit. I reground this knife (Aurora 3v LT) with a much more acute and wider angle - still convex. I'm ...

Went with capital on ours about a year ago, very happy with the decision. Capital burners are supposed to be 25k ea except the one small simmer burner. Went big with a 48 inc grill which is nice to have. Get a big hood! I sourced a used Wolf 54” island hood and put in a remote 1500cfm blower. Will ...

These threads might be useful... https://www.chefknivestogoforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13482 https://www.chefknivestogoforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=13359 AS far as not feeling a burr on a higher grit stone, I think that is ok. I would suggest you look very closely (magnified, even) at the edge ...

Lots of interesting questions here Drewski. As a Realtor and open burner Viking 36" range owner I have have some experience here. Lets start with the gas line and then the counters. Assuming there is gas to your house to start with: If your kitchen/house is on a slab on the first floor they may hav...

I still don't own a house, but seem to sometimes find myself obsessing over what range I want. I was recently at a home reno show and there was an appliance company there with a bunch of brands, and they steered me toward Thermador, as I was asking about open burner stoves. The Thermador has star sh...

I love my 270 Mac pro and used it pretty much exclusively for a year as a home user. Also agree with the Kohetsu HAP40 rec. It's the knife that I got to replace my Mac.

Got photo?

My Staub lids have the same black coating as the inside from edge-to-edge.

And I don't care if some of you think I was being picky. For that price, I expect perfection.

Hello all, I know I'm late to the show but I just wanted to add my two cents. I cook hard boiled eggs almost everyday at work so I have noticed a few patterns when cooking eggs. I cook a large stock pot of 200 eggs at a time which is not ideal but I need to be able to meet the demand. It takes me a...

I just wanted to post an update here about a recent experience with Staub (Zwilling). I bought a 8.5 qt oval cocotte in a new colour, white truffle, very nice imo. Purchased direct from Zwilling's Canadian website. It arrived a couple weeks later, and I immediately noticed a problem. Around the enti...

Gave the 150 bamboo a go tonight. Was a bit surprised how quickly the water went through it. I can see why people have a sink bridge, the water just pours out the bottom of the stone. I anticipate the 60 grit to be even more of a challenge. Probably around 10 seconds until the stone top no longer h...
