Re: Knife of the Decade 2010-2019

Re: Smashing/crushing garlic cloves?

I have always used the Pepin method using a firm whack and the side of the blade. I first saw the jar method from Jose Andres....I remember thinking it was very cool...I have never tried it, but will give it a go.

Re: Did USPS loose my knife?

Many times when I ship international, the USPS tracking indicates delivered once it hits customs, and then most times, no further tracking info is available. USPS has never lost a package for me, and they are cheap, and have less paperwork to fill out (than USP/FedEx), but I have had several anxious...
