There's absolutely nothing wrong with the Food forum you silly whining old woman. People get new ideas from books and/or video clips.

When you can put on a better performance than you do on your own one man/woman board or can Mod a sub-forum with less histrionics than you did with Fermentations by all means put yourself forward.

Until then, keep your continued negativity to yourself.

Try working on your own very flawed personality and think deeply about why you don't get on with anyone. Here's a hint. It isn't them!

Hmmm my chefs knife I use almost every day, sometimes waits overnight to be washed & dried (so I ain’t perfect, shoot me) and after years of use/abuse—no rusting or pitting. One sharpening is all.

So not high carbon. Cost me $80 new some years ago.

Mind you, my youngest niece has her father’s chef knife—rather longer than my knife. KNIFE I said Grin

Feeling a little inadequate?

Stop blowing your own horn. Get down and gritty about kneefs.

I was being positive, positive I made a change for the better to this board!

A hollow-ground knife is the best.

Always buy the most expensive kitchen knife in a blade shop ... it's ALL about the carbon content in the steel.

Use a rod-sharpener very briefly with only three or four strokes before a cutting.

A barber's leather sharpening strap is best, of course.

Notice the Straight Razor at $208 .... to die for.

Solingen steel

I can smell steel.

It's about so much more than the content of carbon which is usually around 1%. There's the molybdenum, chromium, nickel, and with vg10 cobalt. All add properties to the steel. Then there is the "curing" of the steel, the tempering. It's not all about the carbon content although plain old carbon steel makes fine knives there are many factors in play. Car leaf springs make great knives if treated properly. A saw blade can make an excellent filleting knife.

Plain carbon steel makes an excellent blade but its propensity to rust requires a lot of care.

edit: I'm not sure plain carbon steel knives are allowed to be used in commercial kitchens anymore. The rusting and pitting that results are a harbour for bacteria.

If you hold the end of the handle between two finger-nails of the left-hand and flick the blade it should ring / sing / ding like an old Australian One Crown silver coin.

Wow! That's a very sharp tongue you employed there in a cutting tone to slice-and-dice Jovial on the chopping board or your ire, Black Orchid. Grin

Cool

I look forward to being the meat in her oven.

Don't get me started. Kiss

Yes, we should maintain our, how do you say? Je ne sais quoi? Mieux vaut prévenir que guérir. N'est ce pa? Or we could just arrange to make her happy. Grin

Is the oven pre-heated? Perhaps get her to slide down the banister. A warm breakfast is a wonderful thing.

Pork, beef, or a little lamb do you think?

She's still welcome to roast my meat though. I have another kneef coming from Japan, it's been sent. They make incredible knives. Not sure how I can show what they cut like here. Any ideas? edit: No I won't circumcise myself. edit2: Or behead an infidel.
