New semi-home for The Kitchen.

Dear non-existent blog followers,

$15 beater No.1 210mm chopper cleaver from Kongs Trading, full stainless steel construction. I use it for beater jobs like chopping chocolate and splitting shellfish.

With ‘decorative’ Sun Tiger 220x stone scratch that I rebeveled the edge, which I’ll sharpen out over time to sharpen out the thinned shoulders to achieve a thick, robust edge.IMG_20080421_0060

Wall of Fame and Shame

No form of ranking, just ten random ‘extra' things I love/hate in a kitchen. I'll updated, add and juggle things around.

Fame:

  • The Metric System; fuck you "How many ounces are there in a pound? Is that 1 cup of flour sifted?" Fuck it!
  • Fresh, real ingredients like butter, not margarine.
  • Good, ergonomic, easy to sharpen knives.
  • Stainless steel and wood work benches
  • deBuyer Carbone Plus.
  • Target top/ French top 'stove'

Shame:

  • Microwave (you don't cook in a microwave!)
  • Fake food, like factory filleted frozen fish cos it freaking taste like water.
  • Over seasoning food (salt, MSG, pepper, spice/herb overkill, etc..)
  • "Lite" foods... WTF is lite cream? Low fat bacon?, why don't you just go buy ham instead.
