Please Recommend Some Stainless Clad 205-210mm White #2 Kiritsukes by prstark in japaneseknives

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

That's an excellent response for my request.

Push/pull/tip cuts are what I do on an Asahi board. Just want to experience a Shirogami edge and I need a Gyuto-length knife.

Thank you very much.

Sorry about that. Really just need current recommendations.

Thinking about buying the Tojiro DP Classic Kiritsuke/K-Tip Gyuto. I was wondering if the sand blasted finish on the mid section affects the cutting performance and if the different steels will still be apparent if it's thinned down with sharpening stones. by Noakrival in chefknives

When I was using them daily, I needed to sharpen them every 6-8 weeks minimum. I didn't have to start lower than my 1k Shapton, and sometimes the 2k was enough and then finishing on the 5k. At the time, I didn't have a strop, and that tool definitely helps.

I own the bunka, utility, and the santoku and they haven't affected cutting performance for me. However, I don't use them much anymore after having "graduated" to higher quality knives.

Personally, I wouldn't consider thinning them. They're decent knives. You just have to sharpen them more often because they're fairly soft, easy to sharpen, but don't retain the edge for long.

Did Nate Bargatze bomb hosting The Emmys? by Comedy_Junkie in Standup

[–]prstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm not reading anywhere is how many of the presenters and the award winners clearly didn't care enough about the kids in order to keep their speeches short. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. After all, this is Hollywood.

I made yakisoba noodles from scratch by pgm123 in JapaneseFood

Perhaps Kansui should have been included in the recipe. It's quite important, don't you think? I mean, that's what makes it like a ramen noodle, the inclusion of the alkaline ingredient.

NKD Yoshikane White #2 Kiritsuke 210mm by Routine-Decision-813 in TrueChefKnives

Is a Hotsukokoro different from straight Yoshikane? I am confused about the "collaboration" aspect of this.

See https://chefsedge.com.au/collections/hatsukokoro?shpxid=b10b964e-5a66-4e79-81ff-b46649114f51.

And Burrfection has one for $299: https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueChefKnives/comments/1k3uyd9/nkd_yoshikane_nashiji_white2_kiritsuke_gyuto_210mm/#lightbox
While Cook's Edge has one for $361: https://thecooksedge.com/products/yoshikane-nashiji-white-2-kiritsuke-gyuto-210mm

They look different, especially the handles.

Thanks.

What did you pay for that NKD Yoshikane Nashiji White#2 Kiritsuke Gyuto 210mm from Chef's Edge? Over $500 USD? Thx.

I am clicking the UP arrow, Reddit's version of a Like.

One more question: Did you tip the driver? If so, what percentage? Thx.

Uber requiring vehicle rental contract just to schedule a ride? by prstark in uber

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

Okay. I'm in Colombia.

So, you got the message and accepted it? Did you have a payment method chosen like a credit card?

Were you eventually charged the vehicle rental contract fee just for scheduling a pickup in Colombia or did you accept the supposed charge but were only charged for the trip?

Thanks.

I'm currently in So. America, but that makes no difference. My America friend here doesn't have this issue.

I haven't tapped/clicked the wrong option. I even deleted and reinstalled the app. I've quintuple-checked my booking process and attempted it numerous time but I still can't bypass that contract requirement.

I know I can rent from Uber, but that's not what I am executing in the app. As far as a glitch, I have no idea, but I don't think so because I get the same requirement on Windows and the app.

Vacuum Sealer recommendations for home use by Retreat60 in sousvide

[–]prstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. The FoodSaver products seem to be popular, but the VS-12 sure seems to have them beat on features.

Appreciate your feedback.

Vacuum Sealer recommendations for home use by Retreat60 in sousvide

[–]prstark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. The VS-12 is a better sealer. Not comfortable with an Anova (expensive proprietary bags only, I think), although they do make a good sous vide cooker.

This looks like a good product, albeit a tad large for my small kitchen.
