I use a whetstone for my good knives but more often than not I grab a few "Kiwi" knives when I am at Asian grocers for every day use. Definitely shouldn't overlook them. Super cheap and pretty damn sharp. Ive had one last for a few years before without doing much to keep it in shape.
Cheers, thanks. I ordered one, too. I have been wanting to try this style of knife since I started watching Almazan Kitchen videos like three years ago. They sell their own, but they're like $300.
There's a specialty butcher shop near my house that will sharpen them for like $3 per knife. I bought one of these SpyderCo Sharpmakers a couple years ago and it works really well. I am evidence that it's idiot-proof.
I'm always afraid to get my Shun sharpened since it's on a much smaller angle than typical German steel. I've tried sharpenning myself on 1000/6000, but the results haven't been stellar. Part of my problem now is my whetstone isn't flat anymore, so I need a flattening iron or whatever it's called. So much work.
Thanks I'll check it out.
Yeah this is exactly the kind of thing I'd not know (correct sharpening angle) and inevitably do more damage than actually sharpen my knife.
I'll look into the Sharpmaker since it looks like it removes that as a pitfall.
That toy(?) at 11:00 looks like a combination of a Chinese YoYo and a Ball-in-a-cup toy
A balance toy? Don't think there's really an official name for it.

combos are disgustingly good and i could eat an entire large bag of pizza ones in probably ten minutes
i love that dusty paste

That was a weirdly satisfying episode to watch. I think too many moving parts (and apparently a non-zero chance of accidental Geneva Convention violations) to try making at home but the Combos looked SO GOOD.
I never heard of Takis because claire did it and i swear a few weeks after the video, i saw them at a few of my grocery stores up in Canada
They were always there. It's just one of those things you don't start to notice until you're made aware of them. Kinda like when you get a certain car and start seeing that car everywhere you go.
Yeah those fillings especially sound excellent, might make some of them just to have with some store bought crackers, maybe those half cracker half pretzel Flipsides. But even those would be tough unless I want to invest in some cheese powders I'd likely never use again lol
edit: ...unless? 🤔

It's funny how Claire calls out the clickbait titles in tbe lastest episode of GM. "I'm not a pastry chef" 😂
made priya's kadhi, pretty good, though next time i think i will add a shit ton more spices since other than being creamy and tangy it doesnt have a whole lot of character imo
gotta LOAD IT UP

Unfortunately I'm liking Priya less with time, and Claire more (although she has always been one of my favorites).
Yeah, I was a big Priya defender for a while, but that is fading for some reason.
Meanwhile, Sohla's chill energy works so well.

When Roseanne went on her racist tirade she claimed it was because she took ambien. The maker of ambien even responded with this
i dont really know what the "gimmick" would be, but sohla rules so i support this
Nope. They are down here in the south. Very much a "mostly only sold in gas stations" thing.
Only slightly likely that Claire poisoned people by forgetting to wash off the baking powder.
Kadhi will do that to anyone.

I'm only asking for 20% condé nast, work with me here
Isn't that the worst timing? Why would you sharpen a new knife? :P
PARKING LOT IN QUEENS, BABY
Wow, this video's timing is incredibly relevant to my interests!

I had a hard time following Burrfection when I started because his inconsistent technique threw me off and he's not terribly concise. I'd recommend Peter Nowlan or Japanese Knife Imports:
I was taught to sharpen knives by a butcher who was my neighbor growing up. Really different to how Brad sharpens knives. More similar to using a steel, even pressure along the whole blade with the length of the knife sort of travelling down the stone evenly starting from the base to the tip, it is hard to describe.
He also had a massive, circular stone on something like an old knitting wheel. You would push the pedal with your foot to make the stone spin and run the knife along it in a similar manner, from the base to the tip with equal pressure.
Learning how to sharpen knives and even use different types of knives properly is why I love Kiwi knives so much. They are usually only like $3-5 each and are honestly decent. I would prefer to use them for day to day stuff than whipping out a $350 knife just to shred iceberg or something.

these youtube comments on todays amiel video sure are afraid of a fucking mid rare burger
newsflash kiddos, if you grind your own meat you can eat that thing raw as you want

I eat a medium rare burger anywhere I go that actually gives me the option. People love their bland, nasty meat that's just a vessel for condiments and empty calories.
It comes down to how red meat handles nasty things, I was told red meat e-coli is surface-level only (unlike chicken) so a steak cooked medium rare is ok but a ground burger "should" be cooked well. But that's really not an issue I've run into.
