I like my zojirushi because it plays Mozart (twinkle twinkle little star) when I tell it to cook rice.

I like how this show highlights the theme that any ordinary chore--that we all have performed--can be transformed into art if we inject it with the human spirit. I especially like how it elevates food prepared with care and craft through the use of boobs. Boobs are awesome.

All I know is I missed out on the rush--and easy gains. It's not profitable to mine for coins nowadays given the overhead of space and electricity needed to host a successful mining operation. However, there are companies that rent GPU compute hours over the web to mine bit coins if you want to...

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but are dishwashers much more convenient than washing by hand? Don't you have to rinse food off anyways before putting dishes into the washer? I'm living by myself so it would take me like a week to fill up the dishwasher--and there would likely be stuff...

I've been watching this sweet documentary on knights. Things make so much sense now :shocked3:--in life and Game of Thrones. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4wMRwjrk25Q

It's natural for the color of the pan to change; however, you shouldn't be able to scrape off black bits unless your heating the pan to crazy temperatures. Are you sure the black stuff is not left-over burnt food? I sometimes will notice black bits when I heat up my carbon wok for cooking--but...

Why not ebay? You eat about 20% fees but at least it's sold.

It's beautiful that Japan's culture and landscape necessitates such words that don't exist by itself in English. There's not much forest bathing here in middle of Iowa :(

Never thought I'd see the day where I would envy a mandolin slicer. Now that I have, I wonder what other mundane kitchen tools Japanese craftsmen can turn into art.

I think the rail pass will be worth it especially if he plans on traveling to different cities (which he totally should). A one-way bullet train ticket is around $100 while a 3 week rail pass with unlimited bullet train rides is $550. Unfortunately, most city subways in japan are not covered by...

Most reviews for the pre-production Sette are positive. I wonder how the production model will fare--only time will tell. I just got my first espresso maker and am planning on purchasing a Sette when it's out. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.

Being somewhat conservative, I would get two bubinga knife handles from Isaiah.

+1 for the Toyama. I own the 210mm, and it's a joy to cut with. The knife is sharp and has good edge retention with blue steel, decent heft, and great release.

You should check out the ascaso mini. It's similarly priced, and it's stepless!

So many carbon-carbon bonds in a gummy bear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mamoT11TEV4

You could order two of these vertical wusthof blocks

Takedas are a delight to use for preparing any tofu-based dish. The thinness and lightness of the blade is fitting for the delicate nature of tofu.

Honestly there are a lot of good options these days for quality Japanese knives. While Aritsugu has a long history, this does not mean they necessarily make the best knives. That said, I do greatly enjoy the Nakiri I picked up from them a few weeks back.

You can always make them! I think the molds are around $1 on eBay. Also, I'm thinking that fermented tofu or Chinese sausages would make great fillings as well.
