      Whet stones are my jam! I've collected them my whole life since 10 years old when I got my first Buck knife from Schlinker Hardware.
      I asked for only one thing from my granddad's house, and that was his antique pedal-driven sharpening stone that he scrounged out of a collapsed pre - Revolutionary War milking barn, ca. mid 1800s. This sandstone wheel is perfectly balanced! It's about a 360 grit in the center, coarser on the outer edges, so you can get a decent edge going on a dulled ax, plus it's great for sharpening bamboo and wooden planting stakes for my garden climbers and trellises. Set it sideways, and it's a potters' wheel! I like to tell people it may not be worth much here, but on the Isle of Yap it'll tip out your dinner 😅

    Three things I'd add to this personally are: an immersion blender, which is what I use 90% of the time so I can just blend in the pot, a couple of mixing bowls, and an air fryer that I use to do all of my baking and reheating for items small enough to not need the full oven.

    One of the best purchases I ever made was a GIGANTIC stainless steel mixing bowl. I got it from a restaurant supply to make a giant cake, and I've used it for so many things. Imagine _never_ worrying about spilling anything out of your bowl. Well, if your ingredients take up less than half the space in the bowl, you never will, you can really mix properly if your bowl is enormous, you can toss, and it's fantastic for holding mass quantities of popcorn. I think mine is 16 or 20 quarts, it's bigger than my wok, it's bigger than my sink. Game changer.

    • @johnlewis6880

      Im a big fan of big bowls, too. I have a nesting set of ss bowls on my boat and find that I consistently choose a bowl that in significantly bigger than necessarily required for a given job . I like lots of extra space mixing things that would be messy if they escaped the bowl.
      I also figured out that its no harder to clean a big bowl than a small one.

      It fits in the oven, or in a cupboard, you can put it under other pots and pans.

    During the Lockdown of 2020 (and beyond), my cooking skills LEVELED UP because there was nothing to do but stay home and watch NetFlix and UA-cam videos and order stuff from Amazon. Babish, Foodwishes, Joshua Weissman, Chef Jean-Pierre, Adam Ragusea, Epicurious, ProtoCooks, and this channel are my favorites.
    I am proud to say that I have 80-90% of the equipment on this list. What I don't have, believe it or not, is a food processor, an immersion blender, a potato ricer, or a Chinois strainer.
    And these are the techniques that I've learned that I believe have truly elevated my cooking game in the last 2-3 years: Grinding my own meat, toasting and grinding whole spices, making beef and chicken stock, and my favorite: Mise en Place. It's my favorite because when I have everything in front of me ready to go, there's a BIG smile on my face!
    My favorite recipes from this channel are the Rosemary Salt (I know), Chicken Tenders with Ranch Dressing, Carne Asada Tacos, and those freaking Brownies (have some in my fridge right now). Sonny, you're freaking awesome.

    Gotta say, a relatively recent addition to my kitchen tools is the flat whisk.
    I'm an ole Southern gal, so two things every Southern gal is REQUIRED to know how to make is biscuits and also gravy.
    But I was in my late fifties before I ever saw or heard of a flat whisk. I came across it in a thrift store and had to look it up to find out what it was and what it was used for. Gravy. Guaranteed lump-free gravy!
    Every kitchen should have one of these!.
    I'm right in line with 98% of what you have here, right down to the thrift shop slotted serving spoon.
    I mainly work thrifty and small; I live alone and have a tiny kitchen, so footprint and volume is important to me in terms of kitchen appliances. I'm fine with a less velvety soup, so I'm happy with the Bella rocket blender. Powerful enough to crush ice, and a separate blade attachment for grinding herbs and seeds. I mainly make iced smoothies and hot creamed soups with it.
    I have a smaller (3.5 cup) Zojirushi with a steel-cut oatmeal feature and a GABA-increasing feature; traded in my 5.5 cup for it.

    I started sharpening knives on a stone of one type or another about 60 years ago. I have a large collection of stones too. I'm pretty good at it, but earlier this year I bought a cheap guided sharpening device on Amazon, a sub $100 knock off of a similar guided knife sharpening system costing over $600. The stones are junk, but I replaced them with a set of moderately priced diamond stones It has revolutionized my sharpening routine. I can now produce perfect edges quickly and accurately. No longer do I have to perform some kind of art while concentrating like crazy. The guided system will work for an idiot just as well as a Jedi master of sharpening. No skill involved. The results are amazing. Try it.

    wet paper towel works alright for keeping the board from slipping. As a woodworker I use gaffer tape a lot for keeping things in place. 4 little rolls, sticky side out, press the board on, perfect, and you don't have to worry about pulling it off to wash it.

  • @emilybh6255
    @emilybh6255 6 місяців тому +10

    Another way to prevent a cutting board from moving on the counter is to fold a damp towel and lay it on the counter and put the cutting board on top.
    The ricer can also be used as a citrus juicer. It provides much more leverage than those plastic citrus presses which I think are silly.
    Also you haven't experienced food processor BLISS until you've tried a German Engineered " Braun" food processor. I had my first one since the early 1990s and gave it away last year to get a new more compact Braun food processor and it was STILL WORKING after 30+ years of use! In fact I bet it can do anything a Vitamix can do and then some ... in addition to everything you'd want a good food processor to do including having variable speeds and pulse options. ! It certainly is nowhere near as noisy as a Vitamix!

      You can also use drawer liners to keep your cutting boards from slipping around. It's not as cheap as a towel. But, I've been using the same ones for years for each of my boards. You can wash them in warm water, they dry quickly, and you can cut them to whatever size you need. Okay, they're made of rubber/plastics (I would bet you can find something more environmentally sustainable), but you can get them at most grocery stores or home improvement centers.
      Nice tip on the ricer as a juicer. I might need to give that a try.

I ordered a peeler and one came with it as a combo and I never use my mandoline to julienne things anymore.

    I actually have about 90% of what you have and there are some of the items I don't have, but are on my list to get soon. I tell people, when it comes to knives, there are 3 you must have. Chef, paring, and bread. You can do almost everything you need to with those 3.

    I LOVE MY ZOJIRUSHI. It never fails me, I grew up with one, and now I have one of my own. I couldn't live without it, because rice is the best go-to carb to pair with protein and veggies, i stand on this. Mine was expensive, but gadgets like these that you use everyday are well worth the price.
    When I moved out on my own I thought what the heck I'll just buy any rice cooker and it'll be fine, totally wrong. Went through two different ones before I bit the bullet and bought the little elephant brand, and have never looked back. I'll always recommend this brand over any other.

    Chamber Vacuum sealer or some sort of vacumm sealer is mandatory to save waste.. normally you throw out that last bit, enough for lunch or whatever... i seal mine. Goes in the freezer and up to a year later, can and/or would be used. We have cut down on waste significantly since we got a nice sealer.

    I have to have my vicera ceramic chefs knife and ceramic peelers. The vicera dramatically reduces browning of avocados, apples and anything else that is prone to oxidation. Ceramic peelers do an amazing job and you are much less likely to skin your knuckles for some reason.
    I second the zojirushi. I use it all the time! It cooks perfect rice and it keeps the rice warm for DAYS so left overs are actually good. Quality starts to drop after about 3 days but is still edible up to 5 days.

    FYI - Current home Kitchen Aid Mixers have a label on them that restricts you to using only LOW SPEED with the dough hook and only for 2 minutes at a time. - which is a deal breaker for a Bread Baker. In addition - 180 grams of flour is not the same every time - there is an amount of moisture in the flour that changes based on conditions and you might still have to adjust your recipe amount to get the proper viscosity. However- weighing is still more accurate over measuring cups.

    very cool video... great info/advice. 4:30 It's interesting, actually tests have proven wood cutting boards are more sanitary than plastic. Some people fear that wooden boards might be unsanitary because of their porous nature. studies have found the reverse to be true. One study found that wood can absorb and kill bacteria in as little as 3 - 10 minutes after contamination

    I find plastic cutting boards to be the best. I have various sizes including the flexible kind. That I bend and slid the food into the pot/pan. There is only one rule about plastic cutting boards. Buy the largest cutting board you can fit in your dishwasher. I have one that is too big for this. However, if I remove the top rack, I can fit the board diagonally in my dishwasher. For knives I want either German X50CrMoV15, German 1.4116, Japanese Aus-8, or Japanese AUS-10. I need a straighter knife as my cutting style is not rock chopping.
