GASP! It horrifies me to thing anyone would use that Shun Ken Onion knife on that glass board. You should NEVER use a knife on a glass cutting surface. It will destroy the cutting edge...

The first series was stamped. Still made in Solingen, Germany, but not even close the quality of the new series. It seems like the "high-end" Emeril products started with his dinnerwar...

I'm not so sure on the "extra grinding and polishing" bit. The edge could possibly be ground to a smaller angle than the Classic, but from what I understand, Wusthof is moving all of their knives t...

I bothced the HTML in my previous post. It was supposed to say that the Hatch chili cookbook is put out by the grocery chain Central Market .

@mrpants - Ikea's website does not always have everything they carry in store.

I had a pair of these (I got them as a freebie at Housewares in Chicago). They're for washing potatoes - they're not as course as potato peeling gloves. Also - they suck. I threw them...

Peaches - by far. Tossed with some sugar. Wow, you can't beat it.

Hmm. Enamal cast iron that looks like cheap aluminum. Sonoma can package anything and people will snatch it up.

I love my $3 waiter's friend. Simple, compact, and no need to keep up with a foil cutter. Also, there's something refreshingly manual about using one.

I never use soap, and my wife would kill me if I tried. I just use a plastic scraper and VERY hot water. Anyway, as long as it is clean who cares if there are stains. IMO, stains adds ...

I live in Dallas, and there are a few Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Salvadorian places in the area that serve yuca. I love it. It ranks right up there with

By far, my favorite jar is the 5 liter Fido from Bormioli Rocco . My ...

It was definitely more of a steamed, moist texture. It could be a convenient option for fresh cooking at work. One thing that was kind of silly was the tagine shaped steamer. It didn't...

I stopped by the booth in Chicago, and I wasn't that impressed. Sure it cooked the food quickly and it was relatively tasty, but it was still microwaved chicken and green beans...
