I tried some form of all of these, here's my results: Lettuce: didn't have it, but had some napa cabbage - didn't help noticably Spoon: tediously long Cheese cloth: ok, but some fat goes back into stock with each dip My solution = cheese cloth + slotted spoon: wrapping a slotted spoon in...

Just curious if they're really worth the hefty price tag they carry. I was given a shun pro series yanigiba knife as a gift this xmas and it is wonderful. Is the elite series noticably better??

:chef: thanks for the help, it worked wonderfully - no burning of the handle, it did darken slightly but actually looks closer to matching the wood stains in my kitchen.

I don't have time to wait for it to cool in the fridge or freezer and skim the solidified fat. I was thinking of using a garden watering can (well rinsed) but...

thanks for the tip, I'll probably give it a try later 2nite... I'm not sure i could manage to eat another bundle of has browns right now, those first 3 attempts I couldn't let go to waste!

New to these boards because I have been unable to find anything on the internet about techniques of using a bird's nest maker. I have worked in several different proffessional kitchens but pretty much just cook for family and friends these days. Hopefully someone will have some info to help me...

I just got a bird's nest maker and I've tried a few different ways to actually make a nest with some shredded potatoes - to no avail. The potatoes stick to the maker and i can't get the nest out without rippping the whole thing apart. Anybody have any clue as to the proper way to make the nest...
