So anyone here have this set? I am goin to go check them out tomorrow and I’m thinkin about the 10 piece set at williams sonoma for 650 on sale, and with a free sharpener of some sort. I really like the all metal look.
My mom keeps tryin to get me to get the select etc or pro S series based on cost but I want something I enjoy even looking at to be in my kitchen for the next 5-10 years or whatever.
Anyone have an opinion?
do you actually have use for a 650 knife set? dont get me wrong, i have wusthoff knives, but a good chefs knife, a serrated knife and maybe a smaller paring knife will do 95%+ of all the jobs the average cook or even foodie might do at home

Has anyone used the epicurean cutting boards? i’m looking into buying their cheapest line, but an 11"x15" is around $25, Is it worth it? They seem really nice Otherwise, is theresomething similiar but cheaper
I don’t think that size would be big enough to do anything, despite if the cutting board is worth it or not. Those cutting boards look kinda strange
I like having 2 cutting boards, one polymer and the other wood. The polymer board is for cutting chicken (on one side which I have marked) and anything that’ll mess up the wooden board, like if it might stain it or if it’s too acidic. The wooden one is for everything else I like cutting boards that are about 18"x24" (+/- 3" on each side and I’m still cool with it).

Used thin set mortar to lay tile and I’m trying to clean some haze and splatters off them.
Right now it seems the best method is mineral spirits and a putty knife to scrape… I’ve got some phosphoric acid that I tried as well. Get it off well but is a lot of work as well.
Any easier way to do it?

…do you prefer dry spices (almost like a rub) or a sauce? I was just watching Emeril Live and they used some sort of dry rub…it seemed to stick better (obviously) but I’m quite partial to a sauce. Anybody experiment?
I like dry because I like crispy skin. To each their own though.
in my course of trying to eat healthier i got a good boneless wing recipe.
i use a dry and a wet, first i coat the chicken in flour with salt, pepper, and chili powder, then dip that in a mix of wing sauce with bbq sauce

I was just chillin in my plain back yard today thinking how sweet it would be to have a pool, first thought that came to my mind was a good sized above ground. Only problem with that is that where I live you have to have an inground or no pool. So I started thinking, barrow my dads backhoe for a few weeks, then have my nieghbor help with the concrete work. Seems pretty simple, my neighbor owns his own buisness and he specializes in pouring concrete.
Has anyone ever done there own inground pool and how much did it cost them. I don’t see how it could cost more than 3-4k if you do the digging and the concrete yourself.

Looking to replace the non-insulated tin can that is on my house now. I have the time and will to replace the door myself. It’s a 16×7 basic door. How hard is this to DIY? Is it as easy as bolting the sections together, bolting the rollers in the track and adjusting the force control? Can I reuse the existing tracks and springs or should I get new?
Any helpful hints would be appreciated.
Thanks!!
Just get a complete kit with the correct track, rollers, and helper springs you’ll be way ahead in the long run, not to mention that you can complete it with one trip (or delivery from) the home improvement center.
