furniture grade cedar is safer to use than the stuff cut up for shakes and shingles as those are generally treated with a fire retardant

I use this for my smoker Oregon Scientific AW131 Grill Right Wireless Talking BBQ and Oven Thermometer Probe is good to 572 degrees. I really like it the when the girls voice says "It's nearly done"

Have not been influenced to buy any brand promoted by any TV Chef/personality. Been influenced to buy some items based on features recommended by them though. I like to watch Alton Brown because his quirkiness makes me smile and I like the challenge shows, Food Network Challenge, Throw Down...

I like most every fashion of eggs (no balut for me either). My favorite is over-snotty in place of syrup on pancakes. The more snotty it is, the better. Put three of them on a short stack and chop them all together with a dash of salt... Mmmm... If making a sammich, I do fried hard w/cheese...

That's the time you ask your friend where he/she got it. Tell them how much you like it and want to get more and you reenforce the fact that they pleased you with their gift.

I had it once. While in the Navy and in port at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. We had ham for dinner, they used the same ham for mid-rats (midnight snack for watch standers) and then again for breakfast. It never got cold enough when they put it in the overcrowded fridge and they only barely warmed it...

I thought that was bourbon that did that :lol:

Provoking Troll might have been a better screen name

I have some old crappy knives in one of those big bugly (ugly and bulky) wooden blocks. Starting to replace them with some better knives (not that they improve my cooking) and with the two new ones I have, the boning knife will go in one of the slots, however, the 8" chef's knife will not fit...

Just hope my wife doesn't want to take them back to Texas when she comes up to visit in June.

Neither my wife nor I have ever made Risotto and having had it for the first time last February I thought I might try making it. I kinda knew it wouldn’t work out right my first try. The first time I had it was at a company meeting dinner function where we had the resort chef give a cooking...

I was thinking it reminded me of a Pizza Knife.

Probably would've been better off with a Slap Chop.

I can't see using this thing in a bowl.. She had one that had a regular handle, not like the twin bladed Mezzaluna. Giada De Laurentiis™ for Target® Stainless Steel Mezzaluna Knife : Target
