Yup, it was worth the trade off on slightly longer heat up times. I typically use a kettle to heat up the water faster anyways

I typically cook with either cast iron or nonstick pans, but just bought a stainless steel one for the first time.

On my first use, I immediately got these stains all over the surface that I can’t get out. I had cooked some shrimp on medium heat that had a marinade with tequila and lime in it, would the alcohol or acid ruin the finish like that?

I’ve tried cleaning with baking soda and it doesn’t seem to help.

I’ve got a flat sided lodge one that works just fine, was about $30 CDN

Any recommendations on an easy to use knife sharpener for my father in law that won't gently caress up his knives?

He was interested in the Spyderco Sharpmaker, but my understanding is that it's designed more for things like pocket and tool knives and would be difficult to use for an 8 inch chef's knife.

I'm trying find something that's easier to use than stones at a reasonable cost. I'm aware stones are the best home option and it is what I use for my own knives, but I'd like something simpler for him and stones might be overkill when he just has Mercer knives.

He does have a ceramic honing rod that I've given him, but I think his Mercers have been losing their edge more than the hone can fix on its own. He would be using this on an 8 inch chef and a 5 inch utility.

Those options are all a bit overkill cost wise at $130-50 for touching up a $30 knife.

Has anyone tried Bavarian style sharpeners like this?
