Happy Thanksgiving to all! 13 pound smoked turkey from Burger's Smokehouse in Missouri. 10199.jpeg I’m willing to bet a beer that the gyuto is a Kurosaki (Senko?) but tell me about that cleaver. Yes, the gyuto is a Kurosaki Senko SG2. The cleaver is a Misono No. 61 AUS-8. is that the infamous "...

For no reasons other than it looked good and seemed do-able, I decided to give Claire Saffitz's Pecan Slab Pie a try. It looks great and smells great but as of now, unfortunately, I have no idea how it is. Only made 1 and can't cut into it until our big meal tomorrow but the anticipation is killing...

Back in the day (15 or more years ago) I really enjoyed watching cooking shows on Saturday morning! Besides PBS there was the Food Chanel (which is still there) and maybe one other channel that actually had cooking shows on. We had the likes of Martha Stewart both cooking and baking shows, Bobby Fla...

I'm gonna have to get a picture of it next time we make it, my family made one of our favorites yesterday and had left overs today. It is a grilled teriyaki and pineapple marinaded chicken that has been sliced in thin halves, yellow Indian style rice, and a vegetable mix that is also marinated, a c...

Ask and you shall receive.... https://www.chefknivestogo.com/gibl2pe15.html,Gihei Blue #2 Petty 150mm Yes definitely the Gihei, I've had mine for a few years now and it lives on my mag strip and gets frequent use. BUT its on the larger/longer side of Petty knives. The reviews for it seem to have di...

Sunday scrounge and and pumpkin surprise. Saw this pumpkin tart recipe in Milk street and wifey made it. She didnt like it but I did, was different for a change with bourbon. Otherwise an easy inexpensive dinner for two. Tiny dinner salad with my favorite Takamura Chromax santoku IMG_4036.JPEG Grind...

Fitting in with the Harner family nicely:

curious cleaver/nakiri lovers wonder how much might that beautiful tall nakiri/cleaver weigh?

If you are itching to try a Usuba like I was, this might be worth a look: https://www.chefknivestogoforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=150826#p150826 I got two and kept the ginsan version. These are thicker than my regular gyutos I guess to make the Ura easier to do? or maybe its how they are. My yanagi has...

Bump, final price $65.

With Xmas coming up, you could always gift it!

876-5309. :mrgreen: :roll: I think its 867-5309 And a zirh. I wanna zirh for no really good reason. It looks like a veg cleaver that’s been looking at all the wrong websites. I had one of those Swedish rounded two handed rockers in the old days and remember it removing a small portion of my finger!...

I bought the original inventors book of the no knead bread craze, "My Bread" by Jim Lahey to give a try. It sure was easy but I found a few "folds" helped the bread get a better rise. Here is my 2nd attempt at "no knead". Not bad for 5 minutes of work!

For pure performance, in a 165mm nakiri, I would highly recommend the Shiro Kamo R2. It’s light and has a very nice thin grind and the performance is truly superb. It would be a great knife to dip your toes in to Nakiri’s. https://www.chefknivestogo.com/shkar2na16.html Art did you have one of these...

Stir fry today! Wife and I both got pneumonia few weeks ago and it just wont go away, I had the energy today to make a teriyaki chicken stir fry. I shish ke bobbed the chicken and red bell and grilled them, then boiled and stir fry noodles (but next time will do egg noodles i think), added some teri...

Thanks! It was tasty.

Just needs one of those cute dammy pizza cutters Taz makes!

Waffles again! I have to promote these as the best waffles we ever made, and this is about the 4th time so the recipe stands the test of time. Here is a link: You need to have sourdough starter for this and buttermilk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! https://www.theperfectloaf.com/my-best-sourdough-waffles/#tasty-re...

Getting cooler finally so I made some rye and some orange/cranberry soda bread. ATK no knead bread with a few embellishments like rye seasoning and caraway seeds. Second rise just didn't have the oomph wanted but the taste is there.

Been making a pizza every Saturday for 3 weeks now for my wifes crew at work, and some for home usage this time: Work pie; this is a cast iron pie put enlarged and put into a rectangle. No knead dough makes it super easy! I par baked it at 425 for 10 minutes then dressed it and took another 13 mins ...

When I look at Yelp restaurant reviews, I always sort it by "most recent" I don't care what happened last year or 2 yrs ago. And for knives I believe they evolve and want to see the most recent stuff also but... Sadly the dates are missing for CKTG customer reviews! ! Knife quality and att...

With over a hundred choices here, do you want looks or performance? High end knives don't usually come with D handles except my top of the line Toyama did. When I first asked the same question you are asking years ago, Jeff B said the Murray Carter was the best Nakiri. I ended up with a Takeda but i...
