I bought one of these just for making osso buco. I found myself using it for a lot more than just that. I make tomato sauce in it, chili, any excuse I have to bust it out, I do. I absolutely...

Shun Premier Chef's Knife, 8-Inch
Reviewed by RBandu

One of my first internet knives. Great blade. I mean *great* but the handle was a bit weird. Right now it just sits at the bottom of my knife kit.

Ken Onion 10" Chef's Knife

I've owned one of these for over 3 years now, using it daily. I've never had to sharpen (grind) it, just an occasional run along a fine steel, and it's held a wonderful edge for everyday prep....

I'm new and have never, ever posted a "thread" before, anywhere, so please be patient. I have been cooking since I was seven. My grandmother canned vegetables, made jams and jellies and even made homemade catsup (her spelling, not mine) and Rootbeer! My Mom taught me the basics in cooking and baking and taught me how to make a pretty good cherry pie. In fact, she won the National Cherry Pie contest sponsored by Betty Crocker when she was seventeen, really, no kidding! My sister cooks and my nieces love to cook. One graduated from the California Culinary Academy and the other hopes to attend Johnson and Wales in Providence. My brother, brother-n-law and husband have serious BBQ competions. My three year old daughter already knows how to crack an egg without getting egg shell all over the place and my one year old is a professional beater licker. So you could say we are a family of cooks

I look forward to learning more about the culinary arts!

Thanks for your time.

Dawne
