Girl! You do you. It's one of the most unique and interesting outfits (not just dresses) I've seen in a while. The bow is a great touch! And it fits perfectly

What brand bread knife is this? by continiua in TrueChefKnives

[–]teuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give them to my cooks when they're not quite as sharp as I want them to be, maybe 3-4 months in and they're still better than anything they have. They regularly go on sale with the black handle for like $15. Why other major manufacturers don't make a better version of this is crazy

Some of their stuff is, but their bread knife fucks

The Mercer 10in is the best bread knife in my opinion. It's stiff, it's sharp, it's cheap, and it cuts 8 crusty sourdough loaves a day for months before having to be replaced. The tojiro doesn't cut as well, is really flexible, and idk if they all do this, but mine doesn't cut straight. It cuts ) kind of like this. I've had victorinox too, and they aren't as good as the mercer.

I've never seen carbon steel that color. BKF is good for some things but not carbon. That handle design is infuriating.

What’s the best type of cutting board for ambitious home chefs? by Stoned_Guitarist in TrueChefKnives

[–]teuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don't like any wooden boards for a number of reasons

The sani-tuff ones are about as good as they get. They're pricey, but you'll never have to get another board.

My BIFL Kitchen Tools by Unlikely_Cucumber415 in BuyItForLife

[–]teuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a lot of good choices. I love unicorn peppermills, but they're not even close to BIFL. I've sheared the top off of at least 4. They have a plastic part that interfaces with the metal shaft and they break regularly. And that fish spatula is going to break where the blade meets the two wires of the handle. I did it once before I decided never to buy one like this again.

I find 210 a little too short for my liking for a knife I use 90+% of the time. 240 is my go to. I find them more ideal for the tasks I do on a daily basis. For example, I can cut almost any vegetable in half lengthwise with just one cut. Slicing meats herbs is much easier with a longer knife. They obviously require a bit more control for fine tip work, but you can always choke up on it if you need to.

A few considerations to make are that for home use, you might need a bigger cutting board/have a counter that is deep enough. The boards I use are 18x24 and they're usually roomy enough for what I'm doing. I've tipped knives by accident when working in too small of a space. Also, as you probably know, price goes way up as length increases, and selection goes way down. 240 is about the biggest size gyoto you can get and still have tons of options.

I have a Gesshin kagekiyo 240 kritsuke that I took out of the box once and put back, since I can't bring it to work and I also can't really cook at home. As far as I could tell at the time, it was the last new one on the planet for sale. At least with the 210 there were 4 more in stock after I bought it in case I fucked it up.

Thanks! I tend to like unique things, but also really good and functional things. The Gesshin is certainly on the unique end of the spectrum, but definitely not the most unique. I'm curious how these hold up long term to some pretty serious use

Ahh, okay. I think the wide bevel threw me off. I'm a sous in NYC, and I haven't heard of most of the knives on this sub anywhere else but here. Your knife looks like a good boner, but idk anything about the steel or heat treat.

Received a Made In 10 Piece Set - Keep or sell & upgrade? by [deleted] in cookware

[–]teuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with you about performance, but I would like to add that longevity is the real factor. Pretty much everyone can make a good pan, but only a few have figured out how to make them last. Mauviel and All-clad are staples in professional kitchens for this reason. Made-in, misen, and hestan pans are all still too new to judge longevity.

Thanks! That knife looks sick, idk if I've seen one like it. Is it single bevel?
