In either case it was in the wrong thread
BTW, I remembered what I wanted a melon baller for...
For when I made those Baltimore coddies that you eat on a saltine.
Okay, next time you want to buy a melon baller and can't remember why, ask us or do an advanced search for "melon baller" and that was posted by you.In either case it was in the wrong thread

hmmm, advanced search...
I did an Advanced Search this morning for that bean recipe. I used my name (of course) and the words: bean hole beans. How much more direct can you get? I think I got 11 pages of crap. The AS doesn't appear to be as effective as it once was.
So I'll just ask you what I wanted a melon baller for if I forget again

The sharper the better to slice, right? I regularly sharpen my 4" Henkels Zwilling paring knife since I use it for practically everything. I'm a bit clumsy with cutlery and a bigger knife can cause problems.
Anyway, I use that knife for slicing/chopping tomatoes and cutting up eggs - all without smashing a thing.

Out of all tomato slicers that I have ever seen on the market the only one that works is a commercial food processor and cost probably in the area of 5 to 15K, depending on how fancy you want to go. None of the store bought stuff rally works, at least not for me.

MC, I thought that looked familiar, so I rummaged through a gadget drawer, and found one exactly like it, but with a wooden handle, that I inherited from some unknown source many years ago. I had no idea what it was for.

I think my mother has one of those. She brought it with her from Soviet Union. It is probably not as old as the one MC showed. I bet it is only from early 60's.
===================
these are still available in our supermarket. made in China, likely not to last quite so long . . .

Mine says Ekco USA. Appears they don't make 'em anymore, but some are available on Ebay and such.

I picked up a used Nemco Tomato tamer at a restaurant supply place last fall. Makes processing tomatoes for dehydrating a LOT easier (300+ tomato plants produce a LOT of tomatoes).

I also use smaller knives whenever possible. I have a small chef knife also; I think it is 6".
I just recently got this sharpener. I love it.
I use just to hone before I use them. A couple times a year I use my Chef's Choice knife sharpener and give them a good sharpening.

Thanks for sharing the link, Addie, I had just cleaned out my emails and had deleted this.

Maybe this should be moved to Food and Kitchen Safety, or Terms & Techniques, or Knives and made into a sticky for as long as the link works.Chef's Catalog is presently holding a free series on how to use your different knives and what they are for.

Good Idea. But I don't know how to do that. It seems that Craftsy provides classes on a lot of things.
