Edge and Steel: Japanese Knives

December 30, 2011 at 1:29 pm • Posted in CookingComments Off

Steel

Inherently, Japanese Knives are made of stronger steel than European knives. They are astoundingly light in weight and dance in the hand with sophistication and elegance. These knives are sharpened on only one side, a traditional technique known as “Kataba”. The belief is that the single edge produces cleaner cuts and allows more precise work. These ultra high quality knives are about 20% stronger on average than European knives, with Rockwell ratings of 61-67HRC. The steel is capable of a much, much sharper edge due to the added strength and are much easier to resharpen. Japanese knives have substantially thinner blades, which provides superior cutting ability over European knives.

To compare strength in both nationalities of knife, the European knives come in rated at 54-56HRC, or about 20% softer than Japanese knives. Because of this and the extra weight of European knives, these Western knives can take a serious beating and keep right on working. There are tradeoffs with both nationalities of knife. The stronger Japanese knives will chip if not carefully used, while the Western knives will get bent and ding easily, which Japanese knives won’t.

Edge

The average edge of a western knife is about 30 degrees, while the average Japanese knife’s edge is about 15 degrees, causing the edge of the Japanese knives to be much, much sharper than the Western knives. Some Japanese knives such as the Yanagi sashimi slicing knife, are capable of being sharpened down to unheard of 6 degree edges. This radically angled edge provides for the absolute sharpest in modern cutlery available on planet Earth.

Buying the Best Popcorn Online

December 29, 2011 at 7:05 am • Posted in CookingComments Off

If you are a big fan of going to the movies and eating popcorn, you might want to look into how fun it can be to order your own online. Most people will go to the store and only be limited to buy one or two different types (buttered or no butter) at their local grocer. Instead of being just limited to these types, you should explore the different flavors that are available to people willing to do a little searching. The internet offers you plenty of opportunities to find the right popcorn for you, and when you find it you can start ordering it on a regular basis to have a tasty treat that is easy to make all of the time. You will also be able to find this at a great price online and it might even be more cost effective than going to the local grocery store.

Great Value and Performance

November 29, 2011 at 3:57 pm • Posted in CookingComments Off

Food came out fantastic on my first try deep frying. Of course fish oil ought to be used only for frying fish. I bought this recently, and was astonished with the outcome, it was much better than using my crawfish pots. It handles the needs of us quite well and I love the fact that oil is not splattering throughout my walls! It takes only a small amount of oil and it is easy to clean. It deep fries almost anything quickly and completely. I checked Wal-Mart and was told they no longer made them. I’ve had mine for around six months now and I use it two or three times a week. The basket is really a good size for a couple of servings, the lid closes securely so we do not get that annoying splatter all over the place, so when frying is finished, you are able to perch the basket above the oil to empty for a few minutes before dumping. If you don’t have a large family or do not deep frying everyday, you may need to really think a minute about buying this fryer.

Kitchenaid Kicaowh Ice Cream Maker Attachmet

November 27, 2011 at 10:49 am • Posted in CookingComments Off

That’s irritating if you are planning an ice cream party. To make the ice cream maker work without self destructing, I had to wrap duct tape around the spindle and locking pin on the gelato freezer. A handle would be good but it would need to be snapon and replaceable just in case it broke, as the filled bowl is extremely heavy. The side that stuck out interfered with the ice cream attachment causing it to loosen when the ice cream started to get thick. I purchased the Ben & Jerry’s book. Since I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, I order this and I love it that way. Their current model is the KV25M (it says Professional 550 HD around the motor) which appears to have almost identical specs, 575 watts, to the Kitchenaid Pro 600 and it is a bowl-lift model. What a perfect addition to my KitchenAid attachments, one of the best! Crush peppermint sticks to a powder, and give a bit of peppermint extract.

Gourmet Food Gifts for Your Friends Birthday

November 10, 2011 at 2:02 pm • Posted in CookingComments Off

My friend’s birthday will be next month and I have been thinking of my gift for him lately. He has been one of my closest friends. We became close friends when one time he helped me out finding a featured article for my project. Although he’s ahead of me for one year, he was not hesitant to help me out. We became friends after. He was there when I lost my mother and was there through my ups and down. For his birthday, I want to give him something special. A common friend of ours recommended that we give him Gourmet Food Gifts so that he could enjoy his favorite gourmet dishes. Also, we could bring him his favorite cake from his favorite cake shop. My other close friends also suggested that we have a small party in their place. We could bring barbeques, chips, and drinks. I’m sure that on his birthday everyone will have fun and enjoy.

I had broken hair problem. I used to lose my hair a lot. I didn’t have any clue what I should have been doing. Then, one of my cousins suggested me that I should use Argan oil. He was born here in the U.S. But he is aware about this oil. He knew about this oil from his mom. His mom I mean my aunt is from Morocco. He said that this oil works well against hair fall. It nourishes our head skin as well. I wanted something that would nourish my head skin so that I would get better hair.

Then, I started using Argan oil. So far, I remember I used Argan oil just for two weeks. I started getting the result within those two weeks. I was so amazed with the result I got. I just don’t have words to praise about this oil.

My Dream Realized

August 31, 2011 at 6:01 am • Posted in CookingComments Off

I have always dreamed of having my own restaurant. When I was little, I always had the toy kitchen and would have the imaginary tea parties with my stuffed animals. When I got older and got my first job, it was as a waitress in the local diner. I actually learned a lot there and knew I wanted to have my own eatery one day. It took me ten years, but I had managed to save up enough to finally realize my dream. What really helped was when I did a search for restaurant and supplies since I would have to buy everything new. The site I found had really great prices which fell well below what I had budgeted for appliances and supplies. It took another few years before I was working the black, but I would not change a thing about my path to realize my dreams. It was a long one but well worth it.

New Family Traditions

August 4, 2011 at 3:33 pm • Posted in CookingComments Off

Family traditions are really sacred. Our family is totally into traditions and spending time with each other, so it is very easy for us to make new and new traditions. Still, this does not make them less important than older ones.

This year on June 19, we bought a Jenn Air Gas Grill and we decided to test it in the same day. It was a day to remember: the way everyone was so involved into grilling, the nice smell, the tasty meat and of course, the many, many pictures near the grill.

So, since we loved it so much, even though it was not at all our first grilling experience, we decided that June 19 should be the time for all of us to gather and cook some delicious food with the Jenn Air grill. This is what happens when you find something to be really fond of and something to remind you of beautiful moments and to make you think about the ones that will come.

Making My Own Maple Cream

May 20, 2011 at 4:57 pm • Posted in CookingComments Off

I brought my kids to a new breakfast place yesterday and I can tell that they love the food there. They ordered waffles and pancakes and while it seemed to look just like any other food, they said it really is delicious. I think what makes it different from other pancakes is the maple cream on top. It really tastes good and I don’t know if they make it themselves or if they use a particular brand for it. I could not help but ask the people who work there about the cream and they said that it is a recipe of the chef who also happens to own the restaurant. I have been looking for recipes online as I am keen to try the recipe at home and I know my kids are craving for it too. I should figure out what the secret ingredient of the cream is though.

When to Avoid Supplements in Favor of Potassium Rich Foods

March 17, 2011 at 2:12 pm • Posted in CookingComments Off

It is always recommended to take potassium rich foods instead of going for the supplements which in most cases are not the best. Supplements can be taken by individuals who cannot easily retain potassium in their bodies from the food they eat. These are mainly people with some health problems and conditions that demand potassium to be taken in a controlled manner. However, you should avoid the potassium supplements if you don’t have such health conditions. Take more potassium rich foods is the safest and the most rewarding way to your health.

If you do not heavily exercise or are not physically very active but you are still in good health, you should take more potassium rich foods instead of supplements. This is because you do not sweat a lot to excrete potassium from your body. Taking supplements might risk more potassium in your body and eventually leading to hyperkalemia. Instead take potassium rich foods to meet your daily dietary needs.
