New Knives

[info]trian talked me into us getting some new knives. I didn't think it was anything we really needed but it might be nice to have some more sharp knives around as we're frequently running out. Would also be nice to have some knives longer than five inches.

They came in two days ago and I washed them yesterday, and wow, chopping up vegetables last night had never been so easy. I almost cut off the tips of my fingers three times as I'm so used to having to push through the vegetables. I'm happy with the new knives (until I chop myself a few times, that is ;-), it makes prep time much shorter.

My most necessary tools for cooking are knives and cast iron pots/pans. If I can have a kitchen stocked with great knives and some good cast iron equipment when I grow up I'll be set.

Cast iron is where I want to go next. I dug out some older stainless steel pots and pans so we don't have to use the teflon shit anymore. But cast iron was always easier to clean at my parents house.

If you clean it while it's still hot cast iron is a breeze. A room mate of mine let it sit for a day and it took me hours to scrub all that shit out. heh

but it cooks everything SO nice...

god, listen to us haha
