Members Svi Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 Why would you want to know the exterior temprature of whatever you're cooking? It's not for the food. It's for the temperature of the pan you are using. I love it, because I will always have the perfect temp for stir frying, searing, sauteing, etc.I never realized how WRONG I was cooking until I bought one of those.

Members Narcosynthesis Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 I hate to burst your bubble, but 60% of $1000 is $600, which, at the current exchange rate, is damn near the $592.20 ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted January 7, 2008 CMS Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 That's a lot of knives to overcompensate for your new pansiness with spoons and pots. I seem to recall someone arguing here that you only need about four or five good kitchen knives (steak cutlery excepted)... Cleaver Bread knife Slicer Parer and maybe a boning knife. maybe. And they was right! The rest are just {censored}s and giggles for the merchant who sold you more than you need or want. 8" Chef 4" Paring Maybe a bread knife. That's all you really need, and I can get along just fine with only the Chef's knife. But screw that Jap garbage. Henckels Classic for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, having decent kitchen skills has never hurt me with the babes - although I don't ever see myself going all metrosexual like our boy here has done - hahaha!!! - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jugghaid Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 Le Creuset is for suckas!!!!! Totally poncey! Yeah, but it's really good stuff.I prefer the Mauviel Cuprinox I bought a while back. 2.0 mm stuff. Pricey but great cookware and will last forever.having good cookware and knives makes cooking a joy. Congrats on the new toys BOALG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassesofalessergod Posted January 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 +1 here. I'm not a chef, never will be. Just want something to last and feel reasonably good. these Shuns blow the Henckels away in every single category..... Do the research and you'll see.

Members Zamfir Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 these Shuns blow the Henckels away in every single category..... Do the research and you'll see. Then I'll give away my Henckels in 20 or 25 years when I start thinking about moving back to the States. Assuming they haven't been lost or stolen after multiple moves by then...Until then, I need to get back to work after spending too much time on intarw3b bass forumz. And you want me to research knives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bholder Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 Nice. Is that Damascus steel? There are a lot of products claiming to be Damascus steel, but they really aren't, the original process was lost nearly three centuries ago, and the mine from which the original ore was obtained is long exhausted. I don't doubt the reputable manufacturers are doing decent imitations, but I think it's misleading advertising. New Damascus steel simply doesn't exist. What they're selling is usually simply pattern welded (layered) steel, which isn't at all the same thing, even if it looks similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
