I got a new knife! Its a R.H. Forschner by Victorinox 8-inch chef’s knife (Amazon link). Its really nice, has a mirrored finish, and a non-slip handle. Very sharp too. This knife is highly recommended by Cooks Illustrated/Americas Test Kitchen (a good cooking show on PBS), AND it only costs $20. TIP: Add the matching paring knife to bring the total to $25 to get free shipping!
We’ll see how it stands up over the test of time, but so far I’m really impressed by it.
I’ve been sick lately, so I haven’t been cooking — or updating my blog. We had an enjoyable Christmas holiday, with plenty of food to eat. We also received a few cooking-related gifts, and I would like to show them off and tell a little about them.
Simply Calphalon Nonstick 13 Inch Round Grill Pan
This is one of my favorite pans. I use it to cook all kinds of meat on the stove-top. I’ve cooked steaks, pork chops, hamburgers, and even bacon on it. The grill lines it leaves on the food make you look like a fancy chef too.
