Random Thoughts.....What are you thinking?
By Kalila 2015-04-05 15:30:09
Eh, the dilemma is I'm not as much a cook as I'd like to be, and I'm not really sure what pieces are necessary for my (minimalistic) needs. Hence the concept behind this catch-all block set.
I rather just cheaply cover all my bases and get a better understanding of what works best for what and move onto higher grade pieces from there. Chef Knife, Paring Knife, Serrated Knife, Boning Knife (optional but nice), and a Honing Steel to go along with those 4.

I say find a local dive or hole-in-the-wall that holds it's own municipal reputation.

Never under estimate a good steak knife. They can be used for everything.
By Kalila 2015-04-05 15:33:36
Yes, but to keep to the basics I would say those 3/4 above are your basic requirements.

Chef for general slicing, chopping, etc.
Paring for fruits and veggies or other tight corners.
Bread knife for obvious reasons.
Utility knife for smaller jobs that doesn't warrant the size of a chef's.
And I guess the rest would just be steak knives... Though I am somewhat interested in the "partoku" and "santoku" style knives. Not sure what they're for in particular.

On an unrelated note: Super excited about getting tickets to see Little Dragon.
I think I might have a celeb crush on Yukimi Nagano.

I still think the block set is just a bunch of lower quality junk. Yes, you might not be a "chef", but you are paying a premium for a set, and a block, that you might replace in the future.
I think buying a few good quality (quality to me does not mean the most expensive) knives as you need them is better, and if you want a block later down the line, you're able to buy a higher quality block that looks better as well.

I stuff for my kitchen all the time. Just never use any of it, lol. At least my kitchen is always clean.

I agree. However, based on my current lifestyle, and lack of experience and skill in the kitchen, I think even a shitty block set will suffice for now at least up until I gain more experience and use in the kitchen enough to warrant the need to upgrade. If $60 gets my work done up until then and the understanding of what works and what doesn't then that's perfectly fine.

Watched Maleficent, dunno why so many people give it ***. Aside from Angelina's awkward cheekbones it was a good movie.

Ordered double. Will have food for days! Well 2 days, lol

Reheated food isnt the best, though.

I think a lot of this depends on how you reheat it. Pan frying leftovers or even baking it turns out leaps and bounds better than microwaving it.

Don't really care its like 40 bucks with delivery. And there rice is very good. Never been picky about taste. I just like eating my fill, lol.
By Bloodrose 2015-04-05 17:03:06
>.> coming from a culinary background, I hate when people think they can use a microwave to cook everything.
I was taught it was a tool used for various things, but it's use was rather minimal, even at home. At school, we basically only used it to melt butter in measuring cups for baking.
When I was working, only used to defrost frozen steaks, or to reheat precooked vegetable packets in garlic butter for entrees.
By Pantafernando 2015-04-05 17:10:26
Yes, my university years, when i lived by myself often my primary source of food was frozen chicken steak and noodles, not very healthy...
After i started working and earning some cash, i became more picky with tastes, also more worried about fat. So, if i need to consume calories/fat, at least that i have pleasure eating it.

40 bucks for takeout? What the ***
Even if it's a double that's too much lol
By Pantafernando 2015-04-05 17:13:13
Chinese food here in my city is like 50 bucks, should be around 16 dollars.
Yes, your food is quite expensive.

I use my microwave for my oatmeal. Forman grill for meats , and my rice cooker for rice. That's about it. Got tons of things I never use, lol.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
