The Vitamix blade assembly is in the pitcher, right? So a gift card is the simplest way to buy a new, (unaffected, assumedly,) pitcher, yes?

You don't get a new pitcher, you get a new blade assembly. New pitchers are like $150 But if you're just gonna use your gift card towards half off a new pitcher, sure Steve Yun fucked around with this message at 19:51 on Jan 5, 2018 |

Also if I’m giving them the serial on my blender but have since bought a different /newer pitcher... how does that factor, you know?

Hi there, I'm looking for a few things. First off, cheesecloth. Are there any particular brands to avoid or go for? Second, food-safe latex gloves. I looked at the OP (which could use some updating since one or two of the links don't work and a few of the prices have changed) and I was hoping for non-powdered gloves. I have a cousin who is going to college and I was thinking of getting them a mini-fridge. Would you guys have any suggestions? I don't know how big the dorm room is going to be so I'm flexible on size right now, but it definitely shouldn't be too heavy. Hopefully mini-fridges are less than 25 kg. The last one is a heating pad. I saw Alton Brown of Good Eats use it to make yogurt and I always wanted to try that.

Got my king 6k/1k a few days ago and today sat down and did all my knives, super happy with it, thanks for the recommendation. Took a little time to learn (man is it ever harder to sharpen a curved blade) and I’m sure my technique isn’t perfect but my knives feel great, used one immediately after and couldn’t be happier with the performance.

I may not be the best at whetstone sharpening but I am decent and my knives are better for it and I zen-the-gently caress-out whenever I do it. I love it.

Also will now heavily prefer knives with minimal or no bolster (like my Zwilling KolorID 8" which is loving amazing). e: If you like whetstone sharpening you should also try scanning in and digitally developing film I get the same nerd chills from it.

I'm looking fora grill with drip tray like in this picture:  But unfortunately everything I look for that is like this is more like a broiling pan, where the tray is actually surrounding the grill with high walls. This makes it tough for what I want it for (searing with a torch) so I was hoping to find someting very very similar to what is in the image. (It is part of a searing kit but I don't need the torch/its no longer available anyway). Any suggestions?

obi_ant posted:Is this gift set any good? I read the OP, but I'm looking for a secondary set as well. IMO, that is a dumb set. For a Chef's Knife I would want at least 8 inches, a 6 inch Chef's Knife is silly and a Santoku would be a better alternative if you want a short general purpose knife. The serrated knife looks like a solution searching for a problem, too short for a bread knife and bread is one of the few places where I appreciate serrations. The Paring knife should be fine though.

Is there a GWS recommended knife set + block? We have an awful Farberware set that really needs an upgrade and I didn't see a recommendation in the OP. I saw a Emeril set at Costco but it got bad Amazon reviews so I held off.

Salvor_Hardin posted:Thanks for the link. Was king of hoping for a set with a handful of steak knives, sharpener, shears, etc if possible. Well, the problem with that is that pretty much every set with a large number of knives and stuff that I have seen is pretty bad quality and includes a lot of crap that you don't really need to make it look like a better value. I recommend buying most stuff individually or the two piece set that was linked is a very good value since both knives are useful and of good quality, there is also a different set with a 8.5" Gyuto that is a bit cheaper and might be a better choice depending on how big your cutting board is. For honing them I would recommend a ceramic rod, I have this one with the sheath so it does not get chipped from banging around in the drawer. For shears look for ones with one piece construction that can be taken apart for cleaning, CKTG has a few different pairs IIRC. There is also a 4 piece steak knife set by Tojiro it's really nice but pretty drat expensive. If you want something more affordable or a larger number of knives I like to just buy some cheap serrated utility knives like these, they cut well enough, the serrations will help them hold an edge over time and if something happens to one of them they are cheap to replace, there are also plain edged versions if you feel confident that you can resharpen them, a bit more expensive though.

Regarding suggestions for auxiliary knife set components, I bought these Messermeister 8 inch kitchen shears a couple years ago based on a recommendation from (I think) Wroughtirony, and I've been happy with them so far. I also recently bought a Mercer Culinary Millennia 10-Inch Wide Bread Knife based on a Cooks Illustrated article from a few years back, and I've been happy with it as well. I've used a number of sets of varying prices and brand, and I'm way happier having a mishmash of stuff that I like than dealing with something I'm unhappy with from a set.

I got a Wusthof set that had a big chef's knife, two small utility knives, a serrated knife, steel, and shears. I'm very happy with all of those, no filler there. It didn't quite fill the block it came in, which is perfect since I picked up a couple other things later.

I'm starting out with a bag-strainer though, as my kitchen has practically zero counter space. The IP takes up 1/4 of my counter space, for reference. But if/when I get a bigger kitchen(  ) I'm for sure going to get a nicer strainer like this.

You can either get the Cuisinart Multiclad set that's $224 and add a 12" skillet or check out the new Costco Kirkland set that's $300 (can't seem to find this new one one their website) I used to pump my calphalons for a long time but now it looks like they're on the thin side and most other ones are slightly thicker and cook more evenly as a result.

Speaking of stainless steel, I saw a skillet at a thrift shop. Couldn't make out what brand it was so I'm not sure if it's good quality. Do they have much utility for someone who's got a cast iron and non stick already? If so does a $13 thrift store skillet have much value or is it best to just wait till I can afford a good quality one?

I mean, if you wanted to, you can buy a new Cuisinart skillet for $25. What you want is a "tri-ply" or "multi-ply" skillet - they heat much more evenly. Cast iron + non-stick will do pretty much whatever you need anyway. I haven't used my stainless (tri-ply, whatever) skillet in a month or two.

I have a 12" stainless skillet that is heavy as hell, takes forever to heat up, and when it gets hot - just keeps getting hotter even if you keep turning down the heat. I swear it defies physics. But it's big, dead flat, and is good for searing meat. Also goes into the oven and dishwasher.

I picked up this set a few years ago; we use it all the time and, for us, at least, we use all of the knives (we need them all and there weren't any we don't use or use infrequently): https://www.amazon.com/Wusthof-Classic-6-Piece-Chef-Knife/dp/B0000DJZME It was way way less expensive though (I think we got it on sale) and we cook mostly from scratch, so our use case may be different from others'.
