    Off topic..Thomas Keller, what a racist

    There’s been a great deal of poor etiquette in the forums lately. This reckless post actually makes me ashamed of my “Site Supporter” badge. I don’t support careless and inciting commentary like this in the least.

    Buying a wok

    I find I typically reach for the hoak for stir frying meats and vegetables and use it inverted until it’s time to remove food from the wok. Its roundedness, even inverted, seems to mate well against the wok’s curve for pushing and scraping. The chuan’s flared & flat bottom is useful for fried...

    I wrote Lehman's and here's their reply: Thank you for your email. We are expecting them to arrive to our warehouse at the end of April. If there is anything else I can help you with please let me know. Thank you for asking Lehman's and have a great day!

    Media Youtube AWESOME!

    I'm confused by two things: 1) Why did he re-roll the foil at the beginning? Maybe the original box had a non-removable tube? Something to do with shiny vs matte side? 2) At 4:45, how did he get the blank to split in half? I understand that removing the cardboard tube and flattening the...

    My confirmation email (and Lehman’s site) only say “as soon as possible”. I’ve gotten no actual indication of timeframe.

    help locating Masamoto KS White #2 165mm petty

    You’re welcome and, no, I’ve never done business with hocho-knife. It looks like maybe they’re actually in Miami. I can’t afford their $1250 KS 240 :wink:

    help locating Masamoto KS White #2 165mm petty

    Even years ago when it was readily available, the KS3124 w/saya would run $320. Given price increases (didn’t the recent batch run appx $360?) and constant high demand, you did fine - used ones frequently go for more than $400.

    Rakuten is legitimate, but it’s an umbrella covering many vendors. It’s been a few years since my last Rakuten purchase, but I never had a problem. There’s the obvious language difficulties for non-Japanese readers and I recall the search engine being not too effective - again, likely due to...

    Some vendors let you choose horn color, others don’t. Black seems to be the most common. No performance or ‘significance’ differences that I’ve ever heard of. I haven’t noticed any color fading (black) or darkening (blonde/marble) over the years. Glad you found the KS petty - I love mine.

    Buying a wok

    Yes, the grill’s disadvantage as a table is it places the stove and wok a bit higher than ideal. To lift and toss a wok, you’d want it closer to waist level. Greg Wong (EZ Wok guy) has many helpful videos on YouTube, from setting up this type of stove and its regulator to great looking...

    Buying a wok

    At least at home, use times are very short, especially turned up to higher heat. I turn out a fried rice in a minute, maybe two.

    That’s what I do. Wouldn’t let a bread knife near the Boardsmith. I probably baby it too much.

    Buying a wok

    Glad you’re enjoying it! It definitely makes one get their ‘mise en place’ in order working with these BTUs. Just cranked out some chicken lettuce wraps for company tonight on mine - easy, fast & great results!

    Still taking (back)orders on the 32cm - we’ll see how long it takes. Seems like a good opportunity to compare to the Mac and Tojiro.
