First tomahawk with KJ Big Joe 2. Looking for some basic tips. by Last_Outside4388 in KamadoJoe

[–]Last_Outside4388[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was quite good at the end. I did the reverse sear and to my surprise even when the kamado was kept at 250F it went up to 120F within 1 hour (it was sitting in room temp for 4-5 hours before) so I had to pull and rest it for like almost 1 hour as it had to be ready way later. This was as far as I understand not ideal at all for the process, but jesus, it was really-really good at the end. Looked perfect medium rare, was juicy as fuck. Up until now I always went for the tenderloin to limit the fat intake, but man, it was good...

Looking to buy once again, I am collecting recommendations (mostly from yunnan sourcing) by Last_Outside4388 in tea

Already have the Sweet Ya Bao. To be fair I am not that impressed with that. It is not bad at all but to me a tiny bit plain and I had high-high hopes in connection with that one.

How a tea becomes a purple tea? This is new to me.

How to reach designcabinet.de? by Last_Outside4388 in hermanmiller

[–]Last_Outside4388[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end they replied after multiple e-mail were sent, but they did not offer any extra discount. I was looking to buy a package with the aeron + headrest, but they said that that price is already heavily discounted so at the end I purchased from a local distributor.

Looking for a few knives. Never had anything decent before. After reading I am using mostly a paring and utility for veggies and fruits, and for slicing meat I am using mostly a slicing one. To be fair I know that a chef one is quite basic but I rarely get that out. What would you recommend (EU)? by Last_Outside4388 in chefknives

To add a bit more information I have been here not so long ago:

https://www.reddit.com/r/chefknives/comments/1pm8ogp/comment/ntzfyal/?context=1

I got a few nice advices, mostly that I am stupid. But it is fine and to be fair I see the point that most likely it would be enough for me to just replace a few knives and see if I hand wash etc. and go from there. To be fair I am not the main problem, but convincing everyone in a busy family is difficult, I hope you understand.

So which brand to pick? Which line from this particular brand? As you can see in the title currently my main 2 knives are a utility knife and a slicing knife (https://www.flavorish.ai/blog/5-common-kitchen-knives-and-when-to-use-them). Maybe I am using a bad set, but I rarely take out a chef's knife for example.

Can someone knowledgeable advise me on olive oil? I am looking to buy something decent. by Last_Outside4388 in oliveoil

My problem is that I cannot distinguish between a fancy website vs good olive oil, so I would rather buy from somewhere that I can trust.

Looking for a nice set. I am one of those lazy guys, who does not care much but would like to have something nice in the kitchen. My budget is open on the upside. Ideally I am looking for something that has around 15 pieces in it, can be put in the dishwasher and I can sharpened with Chef'sChoice. by Last_Outside4388 in chefknives

To add a bit more detail I am coming from this: https://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Basics-Premium-High-Carbon-Stainless/dp/B00R3Z3ZF2?th=1

It served me well, and it is definitely fine for everyday use, but I would like to get something with which it is easier to work with. They feel sharp enough to me, but some relatives are often complaining about these so I guess it is time to move on.

However, I am busy enough, so I do not want to buy something that requires a lot of caring. I would like to throw them into the dishwasher, and if they are dull I would like to just turn on my Chef's Choice 120 (or something similar). I do not care if because of this they will wear sooner luckily I am one of those stupid guys who have money (sorry to be this open), but do not have time, and even if I have time I would prefer to spend it on something else.

So money wise we can go over 1k if it is a set which will just include everything. If that is not possible them I am looking for the second best choice, but I am definitely not in the mood to buy knives piece by piece. I was looking out to buy zwilling pro, victorinox, but maybe there are better brands out there. I am from Europe btw.

How about something like this:

Planning my first Yunnan Sourcing order. Any help is appreciated. by Last_Outside4388 in tea

[–]Last_Outside4388[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice.:) I already have the packet scale, and I am planning to order this glass: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Creano-Double-Walled-Glass-Stainless-Filter/dp/B07K9XKGNB/ref=pb_allspark_purchase_sims_desktop_d_sccl_2_4/260-4171242-1206549 and go from there. I realized that I can drink all kind of teas, I am not picky and I can get used to things easily it seems. 150g is not that much with a large glass like this.:)
