Re: Has anybody seasoned stainless skillets?

I've seen this mentioned and kinda don't get it. Presumably you're looking to obtain a degree of nonstick quality, except fond sticking and deglazing is a feature, not a bug, of stainless cookware. Something like eggs, I just don't think stainless is the proper tool for that gig, which should be lef...

Re: New Pass Around

Hi Bob, I'll throw my hat in this ring.

Always been curious about the Goko line, an old staple 'round this block. What say you about the 170mm bunka?

Or this 210mm long petty/short suji?

Re: How to trade knives?

How do you guys trade knives? Selling has protection but how do you trade with protection? What if one party didn’t send as promised? If they didn't send as promised that should kinda of void trade. I don't know what the exact issue was, so it's kind of hard to fully comment. Could you explain the ...

Re: Need Recommendation for Gyuto 210ish for Rocking

This is not necessarily a direct recommendation but for fine-chopping herbs like parsley and cilantro I still use an old Henckels specifically so that I'd quickly rock without worrying. And doubly so when the leaves are wet and tend to stick to the board.
