Hi, I've been stung by the J-knife bee. Would appreciate some brand and model suggestions, as well as if you have read some nice resource around the subject, I'd like to look into it too. We ...

Found at TJ Maxx, wondering if anyone has any input on use, performance and care. Thanks!

It appears Zwilling is offering again the larger sized plancha. Specified as the 7 ply. I know it’s been popular in this space so I wanted to share in case anyone is interested. Marked as cleara...

I am still looking at bakeware, and as when I asked before several suggested Pillivuyt and Apilco. For those who have used both these and the Le Creuset (not the CIE, just the ceramic), can you te...

Argh. I love my old weirdo Vitamixer Maxi 4000. Today the clip that holds the lid on the container broke off and I wasn't able to repair it. This thing is a beast and, of course, parts no longer ap...

Hello, I'm new to the copper pan world and am glad to have found this community of experts. I just received my copper pan but sadly there's a deep scratch on the copper part, as though someone slic...

We just purchased a pre-seasoned lodge camping dutch oven and a griddle. I read that another round of seasoning would be good before using, so I rubbed canola oil on them and baked at 400 deg for ...

So what deals have you seen lately and are you planning on purchasing something special once the price is right ? I just got a good deal on a duo of Zwilling Pro 20cm/8” Chefs knife. One is a ...

Husband-and-wife knife pair done! The small one is a 4" (105mm) paring knife with African mahogany handle and forest green metallic pin fill. The larger one is a 6" (155mm) santoku with Caribbean ...

Good stove, Good pan. Well tasting pancakes. The eveness in this Skeppshult cast iron pan is almost perfect, much better than in my carbon steel pans. It was not preheated in any way - I just pl...

I use Pyrex glass containers for storing and microwaving soup, and then I just eat the soup out of the Pyrex bowl. However, after I've microwaved the soup, the Pyrex is very hot, and I find it diff...

Okay, so I have an esoteric question. Is it a net positive to have vent holes in one's cooking pan/pot lids, and what are all the pros and cons? I've noticed that the higher end cookware (e.g., All...

If my search overlooked something, please point me to it! I'm looking for a preferably stainless multi-ply oval covered roaster. I'm open to other materials but I prefer the durability of stain...

I recently bought a 6 qt. 360 cookware "waterless" stockpot and used it to simmer down a turkey carcass over a 48 hour period and didn't have to keep checking it to add water. I am looking for an a...

Does anyone have any experience with these Japanese made enameled cast iron pots? https://shop.vermicular.com/en/index.php I've seen information on them on Japanese boards but no-one has mentio...

So, after a hiatus of 6 months, today I took out my Le Creuset cast iron dutch oven and made a wonderful lamb stew. Recipe by Penelope Casas. Boy, have I missed my Le Creuset! Who else has been...

I have a pot that came with a steamer basket and a pasta insert. But sometimes, I find that the basket is too small for things like dungeness crabs, lobsters, etc. Has anyone ever used their past...

Does anyone know what type of mortar & pestle this is? I can't seem to find any information on Google. Someone I work with just acquired this and I saw it on her website. I'm not sure what it's ...

I'm looking for a lid for my 16 cm Mauviel M'250C2 saucepan, but all the lids that fit the pan (the M'250C, M'150C, and stainless) all seem to have really tiny handles -- so tiny that I don't think...

I’m so fond of the Kramer blade profile, that it’s my preferred blade profile on a gyuto and a santoku. Whether it’s the Kramer Meiji or Kramer Damascus, doesn’t matter, I own both and they hav...
