I keep seeing this knife advertised. What's the steel like? My neighbor wants a big knife. I like the looks of the handle a lot better than the standard Dexter Russell knives. The price is right. Has anybody used one? Where's it made? I sharpen her knives so I should be able to tell how it...

I just read PYREX made by Corning Inc. is not the same as pyrex lower case. Lower case pyrex can shatter. What gives? I grew up with PYREX going from hot to cold. Is this a China thing? I have a lot of my mom's old PYREX but I guess I don't want to buy any new pyrex. Is anybody using the...

Thanks for suggesting using a 60-grit flapper disc for sharpening my mower blade. Nothing like power sharpening. It worked really easy and quick. For all you blue guys I used my Bosch grinder. I have 4 grinders and still looking.

I just started planting my tomatoes for 2023. I tilled last week. Over the next few days, I plan to plant my whole garden.

I am looking for a Pimento Cheese recipe that has a nice cheddar cheese taste to make for Christmas. Anybody have a favorite?

What do you guys use to cut fresh corn? I was making soup with fresh corn on the cob. When I prepare fresh corn on the cob, I cut both ends and then strip the husks off the corn. I was cutting fresh corn on the cob with my Wusthof classic 10-inch chef's knife, and I had to force it through...

Is anybody using one of the Tormek T1 sharpeners advertised on this site? It looks interesting. This is the one. It seems simple...

I just bought a Mauviel 1830 15-inch pan from Amazon. I have enough credit where it only costs $69. It is a little bigger than my large cast iron pan. I plan to use it for Paella and roasting bones for beef stock. I also bought this Paella spice which comes from Spain. It has a nice flavor...

Do they make full sheet pans in carbon steel? Are would that be a pizza pan. I was thinking for roasting bones it might be nice. We also roast Tator tots, Bussel sprouts, and lots of other things. They might roast better on steel. I would want a pan I can season so it does not rust. What do...

We have a very good tasting corn beef recipe that was my father's laws. It is an old family recipe. You use a brisket. I have always used a whole brisket but this time I am only going to use the tip and save the other for smoking. There is one change in that we can no longer get saltpeter so...

I was out of chili meat and hamburger meat but I had some round steak ends so I thought maybe could cut them up. I have an old Cuisinart food processor that worked ok. I could not put many pieces of meat in at once but it chopped them up. If I put too many meat pieces in the whole machine...

My wife decided we need a new non-stick pan. I don't use it much. I missed the made-in sell so I was waiting. Amazon has All-Clad for 50% off. The price seems good so I ordered a set. Amazon.com: All-Clad E7859064 HA1 Hard Anodized Nonstick Fry Pan Cookware Set, 10 Inch and 12 Inch Fry Pan, 2...

I finally got into Austin and bought some expensive butter. I was looking for the thread for great butter and I could not find it. What do you guys think of this? I thought we needed a butter thread. Maybe bread too as they go hand and hand. Are there others I should look for? What I have...

Here is what my wife makes for cornbread. I have a picture of our favorite cornmeal. It is a mill about a hour away from me. They have a web site you can order from. This is not sweet cornbread. 1 cup stone-ground yellow cornmeal 1 cup bleached all-purpose flour 1/2 tablespoon sugar 1...

I smoked a large ham on Saturday. I started to use my brisket knife to slice it and I figured out I really needed a point to go around the bone or otherwise the sliced meat would tear apart because it was still stuck to the bone. So, I liked my 10-knife in the top of my picture. I should have...

I just ordered a Power King Wood Chipper. It has 2 blades with 2 sides. You can flip the knives since they have 2 cutting sides. I wonder if I can sharpen the knives? I probably won't need to for a while but I have a big pile of wood limbs. Has anybody sharpened wood chipper knives? Is the...

I will start. My wife organized our refrigerator yesterday and I put together a stand for our new coffee and tea bar. I bought the Baratz encore coffee grinder and I have been wanting to get all our coffee stuff together. The plastic bins in the refrigerator allows you to pull out the bin to...

I had to sharpen my wife's MAC Pro 8-inch knife today. The back half was mashing down a little before it went through a tomato. It still would cut the tomato but not the way I like it where the blade just pierces and goes right through. The front 3 inches still went right through the tomato...

I have an old gas grill that I decided to rebuild. The gas tubes are shot. The thermometer doesn't work. It has good bones as it was labelled a commercial model. My current 6 burner is giving up also so I decided to rebuild the commercial 4-burner. The 4-burner has better quality parts which...
