I searched up this excellent thread: [link] ... but the edge on the Tojiro is not pointed in the same way as the knife in this instruction. How do you go about sharpening these?

Gifted from a friend. Any idea who made it?

Randy, If you like a more clean cup you should also consider a Hario V60 (or similar). Great coffee!

Deep-Fried, Sous-Vide, 36-Hour, All-Belly Porchetta. http://www.seriouseats.com/2011/12/the-food-lab-deep-fried-sous-vide-36-hour-all-belly-porchetta.html AWESOME!

Great to see other people roasting in here as well :-) Randy, did you like the result? Looks like quite a dark roast by the oily sheen.

Update?

Wow those look great! Couldn't help myself after seeing this thread so bought myself a 9lb pork neck today (with bones). I've always liked this piece of meat but I've never put it in brine before, I would like to try that. How long should I let a piece like this sit in the brine solution you...

The first picture is compared to my Sakai Yusuke (extra thin version). I tried to estimate the angle that the guyto was sharpened to using an Edge Pro. You can probably make out a small mark close to the heel, that was where the stone made its mark at 6 degrees (measured with an angle cube)...

Thanks for all the feedback. Ordered several of the books suggested last night. Wanted to add a few more (Pepin's Complete Techniques, Notes from a kitchen etc) but they were sold out - will get them at a later point. I was very happy to source 'La Varenne Practique' for only $37 in "as new"...

Hmmm.... You could tell me more but then you would have to kill me, right?

Looking forward to hearing your results! I only have Kellers French Laundry book but couldn't find a duck confit recipe in there. What are his main points that have not been mentioned here so far? There was something about not using too much salt?

Thanks again! I have Larousse Gastronomique and actually pull it out quite frequently. I also have the Peterson sauce book and like it a lot to. Will check out those other two mentions...

Cool, thanks. I looked it up and from the reviews I found it sounds like it is more about the chefs and their culinary journey - like a 10 person biography. That would be good reading as well but at $150 I am a bit more reluctant... Does the book focus on the way they cook or they way they think...

I have a book by a Norwegian cook named Andreas Viestad. It's called "How to boil water" and I think its brilliant. In the book he spends most of the time discussing why and how certain techniques work etc. He also covers trvial stuff like prep work that some of us home cooks are never properly...

I put in an order for 100 rare earth magnets on dealextreme a week ago. Once I am back from vacation I will try to make my own version of a magblock. Hope it turns out ok...
