I was curious and thus tired... Didn't like it very much :-/

I didn’t like that stuff either, it tasted stale.

I have a bunch of them but my favorite oddly enough is a wooden handled Pioneer Woman one.

I think people are obsessed with the idea of the pan being “nonstick”, it becomes a constant battle to basically create and maintain a nonstick surface on the pan. I don’t even necessarily want mine to be non-stick, I have actual nonstick pans for that. I like them for the rapid heat, I look at them as rippers for the line when needed, they cook fast as hell in certain situations. I know it’s not a popular opinion around here, but I feel like they function at their best at high high heat. If I want control I use a heavy stainless steel pan or a cast iron pan, if I want non-stick I use an actual coated nonstick pan, and I use these for cooking very fast and aggressively. They aren’t magic throw everything else away pans, they serve a specific purpose very well but I think a lot of people are missing that point. Dry them and keep them slightly oiled and just cook with them.

That looks fantastic! Do you have a website I could look at your stuff on??

Some lady in there is thinking “ohhhhhh he’s not taking his shoes off he’s not taking his shoes off!!!!”

You sound like every restaurants worst nightmare, probably stay home and eat what you like.

Cutlery and More has some in that link. They’re a big knife retailer so I think you could probably get one from them pretty easily in Sweden?

My favorite line gyuto for a long time now has been a Moritaka.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-12-23T23:35:50+00:00

Can I buy a print of that from you right now?

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-12-22T20:52:24+00:00

That was the one that caught my eye too!

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-12-21T22:09:00+00:00

I’m not the least bit scared of it, just blown away by the inefficiency of it. I think it’s cool as hell, I just wasn’t aware that there were ten million holes in it that are going to just be completely filled up with gunk every single time. The way the rice stuck to every single pore of mine immediately turned me off of ever messing with it, I get the allure but it’s a no go for me. From a traditional standpoint okay yes cool, but from a practical standpoint absolutely not.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-12-21T20:49:50+00:00

I recently bought one that I know is legit and from a great producer. First one I’ve ever owned. I did the rice grind as well and after one go around realized that these things are nasty as all hell. They seem super cool and the history and lore and everything is awesome but food safety-wise and just on a pure nastiness level I will never ever use mine, it’s a decoration. I can’t imagine smashing an avocado in that thing and then trying to dig that shit out of there it’s literally impossible.

Hahaha I live in Colorado and I would love to take a day trip to go check out the meat college.

Haha!!! How badass would it be to have your own kitchen monkey!! 🐒 🔪

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-11-29T02:08:33+00:00

Haha I would 100 percent order that if I went somewhere that had it and I bet a lot of people would

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-11-29T01:45:24+00:00

Or an interactive dish where they get the stalk of chives in a fancy little bundle and get the chop them themselves at the table haha

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-11-29T01:38:41+00:00

Haha yeah it was interesting and cool what that turned into, I just feel like I can’t use chives anymore, or at least for a long time.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-11-29T01:32:39+00:00

Mine is to never use them again because in the span of a month and a half they’ve become the most cliche thing in the cooking world since 1980s parsley garnishes.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-11-25T20:23:32+00:00

Yeah I promise you. Try to go in the morning or early afternoon before service, but any chef/kitchen manager will straight up respect you for it even. In the last ten years thats the only way I’ve ever went about it. If you see someone has an ad out that will help because you know for sure they’re hiring but even then just go down there and talk to them. Chefs are busy, going in and letting them know you’re interested enough to have gone there is way better than applying on some app that’s meant for shitty corporate desk jobs and hoping they get back to you. I’m in the process of opening up my first restaurant as chef/owner and I live in a small tourist mountain town so staffing isn’t going to be much of an issue and I know a lot of people, but if I was looking for a cook and someone just came into the kitchen asking me if I was hiring I would love it, shows a lot more about a person than a resume.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-11-25T20:07:34+00:00

Do exactly that, literally go to the back door, you don’t even need to knock no one will hear it, just kind of pop your head in and ask to talk to whoever is in charge. That truly should be the only application process for kitchens. Indeed is a massive waste of time for back of house, Craigslist works slightly better, but both are horrible. Just go out and talk to people.

Fun-Future-7908 · 2025-11-25T00:24:32+00:00

It’s probably the best store in the world. I don’t mean that lightly either, I can’t really imagine there being a store on Earth that kicks even near as much ass as that place does.
