Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Dual purpose thread involving advice on getting a set of decent, non-heirloom quality kitchen knives that will hold up to some abuse with bonus addition of Kurt Russell stills while he kicks your ass, and everybody else's to boot.

Should I go for a 5-7 piece set with block, or buy individually as needed? I'm not looking for forged blocks of ninja steel here obviously. I just got to get this kitchen together, y'know, like functional.

This thread shows why ILX keeps getting better.

That was demonstrable without your presence.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 02:38 (twenty-one years ago)

I bought a block at IKEA and they're all still holding up fine.

Of course I never use them since nothing in my kitchen that one can use to cook food with actually works.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 02:41 (twenty-one years ago)

Ned - did your parents call you that name and, if so, how can you leave the house in the morning?

― C-Man (C-Man), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 02:44 (twenty-one years ago)

OK can I just say "What?" already and end the "Stereotypical Bad ILE Shit" in its tracks already? Jesus people.

I probably shouldn'tve started this thread when all the ILX chefs are off on vacation. Oh well. Continue the dicking around.

You shouldn't have started this thread period, have you not actually read any of the other recent threads? Insert "Think, McFly" quote here. Seriously, I mean thread starts about turkey deep frying and it becomes a thread about girly scent shit. But I already told you what I thought.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 03:09 (twenty-one years ago)

You could cut a mean lemon with that.

And just buy a Henkels set.

"If yr on a budget, a whole block is a waste of fucking money. I got one 8" Heinkels for like 40 bucks; it's all anyone uses anyway, unless you're veining shrimp or some shit. Course, steak knives are always nice to have around. The fuck do I know."

I find that a four piece self sharpening Wiltshire block with scissors fills all the basic needs and has held up for five years+. Kurt Russell never should have made that one movie where he was on that boat.

Fuck both of you for making me want to watch Captain Ron, wtf. This whole thread is now dead to me. Which of course means I'm going to read it obsessively and not sleep tonight wondering if any updates have been posted.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 03:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Has anyone ever seen Captain Ron? It seemed like this...thing.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 03:33 (twenty-one years ago)

They have an Escape from New York special box set out nowadays, just FYI to anyone who would be interested in ever owning this or perhaps mysteriously purchasing it for me.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 03:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I just never realized how much that one photo of me from J4 resembled the Capt. Ron poster so much. I'm kind of horrified.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 03:37 (twenty-one years ago)

"that one photo"

I spent a Christmas season moonlighting at one a them high-end kitchen places (you know, the kind with the $2,000 espresso makers), and among the many useful things I learned there was a little about knives. We only sold two brands, Heckels and Wusthof. The knife guy said (and I repeated as gospel to many a customer, so I hope it was true) that Wusthof was better because their knives were still just single pieces, while Henckels had recently switched to a tripartite manufacturing system, with the handle made of some kind of compressed metal (the metal equivalent of plywood, the blade separate, and then a third little piece joining the two. This offended the knife guy's sense of aesthetics, and he also suspected it would mean problems somewhere down the line. Since the knives cost about the same, I don't think this was an effort to convince customers to "buy up" or whatever (although for all I know maybe the knife guy was on some secret Wusthof payroll; I don't think so, though, he really seemed passionate about this stuff). Also, he swore that the only knives anyone needed were an 8" chef's knife, a serrated bread knife and a 4" paring knife. This did not stop him from selling entire sets, including ridiculously huge butcher knives, to shoppers who clearly wanted them as kitchen props. But this, too, offended his sense of aesthetics. He took their money, but gave them no respect. So, that's all I know about knives. And sharpen those things every 6 months or so, too, depending on how much you use them.

I just wanted to post that.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 03:59 (twenty-one years ago)

I kind of want to beat the crap out of you right now, Tom.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:04 (twenty-one years ago)

It would make a brilliant movie poster though. Anyway I'm all about that ass obviously.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:08 (twenty-one years ago)

That's right, ladies, Captain Ron also does "romantic"!!

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:11 (twenty-one years ago)

What the hell kind of movie would that be anyway? It looks like the stupidest college movie ever, worse than Van Wilder.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:12 (twenty-one years ago)

wow, that's harsh.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:15 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, all you need is a cartoon bus in the background and a title in bubble font. Rock!

― Kim (Kim), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

They need Catbus in the background.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm pretty sure Jeremy Piven should be in this movie.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I think what this calls for is a bus with big green picnic tables and pitchers of Spaten for everybody.

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:24 (twenty-one years ago)

You know what your post calls for?

I've got something to tell ya

Hey now, hey now, here's what I say now
Happiness is just around the corner
Hey now, hey now, here's what I say now
We'll be there for you

(chorus)
The Vengabus is coming
and everybody's jumping
New York to San Francisco
An intercity disco
The wheels of steel are turning
And traffic lights are burning
So if you like to party

We like to party

Hey now, hey now here's what I say now

― Ajazay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 04:34 (twenty-one years ago)

That song always reminds me of metro garbage removal. I saw this city worker with his yellow pickup truck one night - slinging the bags into the back, wiggling his butt and blaring Vengaboys. That guy knew how to party.

Seriously, if there is a weapon called the Vengagun, I am suddenly way more down with guns than I was just a day ago.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 05:20 (twenty-one years ago)

I got a Henckels block but I bought my knives piecemeal. Unless you're doing major preparation, you really only need a big knife, a small knife, and a serrated knife.

― myfriendmyfriend, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 05:26 (twenty-one years ago)

The whole game is kinda messed. BTW: take you time and do the side quests. They're more fun then the storyline ones, except that stupid cactuar one. Gawd I hated doing that in the last game too.

This has always been my advice to the graduates: whatever you do, get a serrated knife.

― lawrence kansas (lawrence kansas), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 15:32 (twenty-one years ago)

My most recent experience with a serrated knife ended in huge amounts of my blood all over the damn place. Spinktor was there, he saw the whole thing. My pinky was jacked up for weeks. Costco has a big unnecessary Henckels block for $160, I think I might just go get that one and stop worrying about it.

Re kitchen knives, get a big Global knife. It's susposably what all the real chefs use, and, like them, you just need one of them unless you're going to do a lot of fish filleting or something. Global knives are really good cause they hold their edge really long and they're really really light but they are also pretty expensive. But you just need one. This one's good.

Kurt sez: Be a knife nerd. What better kind of nerd to be?

Don't get the block. Don't buy boutique German knives. Find a restaurant supply store and get a couple of Dexter-Russell knives. They're the brand butchers use. They stay sharp. They're ugly as shit. They're cheap. They're what Kurt would use.

I've long had this fantasy about opening up a theme bar in San Francisco called 'Escape from L.A.' I think it would do very well.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:32 (twenty-one years ago)

You could serve "Mango and Dash," a drink made from tropical fruit and Angostura bitters.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:34 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, this would be written above the bar:

"You may have survived Cleveland. You may have escaped from New York. But, this is L.A., vato. And, you're about to find out that this f*cking city can kill anybody!"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:35 (twenty-one years ago)

also, the bartender would only ever say: "Call me Snake"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Patron: How much?
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Patron: Uh, pardon? How much?
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Patron: I don't understand.
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Patron: (walks away without paying)

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:37 (twenty-one years ago)

DAMMIT ally I just wrote MY version of that scene. Eh. Here it is anyway.

"Can I have an 'Unlawful Entry,' no rocks please?"

"Call me Snake"

"Uh, can I have an 'Unlawful Entry,' no rocks, SNAKE?"

"Call me Snake" etc until customer slaps bartender hilariously

Anyway Spencer your bar totally has to happen, and I want to be a bartender, but I think ME w/an eyepatch saying "call me Snake" is actually funnier than anything we could possibly post to this thread.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Tracer OTM, that concept wins

― TOMBOT, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Chef in Kitchen of Escape from LA: Snake, Which cutlery do you think I should use to prepare this dish?
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Chef: I DID call you Snake.
Bartender: Call me Snake.
Chef: Fuck you. (stabs Snake with an 8" serrated blade purchased from the same supplier that supplies Peter Lugers, the multipurpose bread choice of all Chefs everywhere)

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Dear god.

In my mind I just constructed a version of this "Call me Snake" dialog.

Between "Snake" (who is now actually Tracer Hand) and Aja. It still hasn't ended in my mind.

I'm going to go outside and have a cigarette before I go insane.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 19:50 (twenty-one years ago)

God now it's Momus, Aja and Tracer. "Call me Snake!" "What?" "You're both Republicans you know." "What?" "CALL ME SNAKE!" "What?"

I'm going to go play in traffic, actually.

Get some Wusthof knives, Tombot.

― El Diablo Robotico (Nicole), Tuesday, 30 December 2003 20:07 (twenty-one years ago)

I used to call one of my coworkers Snake, incidentally, for a really brief period, because for some reason on 9/11 he kept yelling "Just call me Snake! I will protect you!" and Spencer's bar reminds me of this.

The best thing about this story is one time we saw a mouse in the office, right, and dude shrieked like a girl and jumped on a desk. Way to save the world, Snake.

― Allyzay, Tuesday, 30 December 2003 20:23 (twenty-one years ago)

just back from holiday, global knives are the shit, buy them in fact just buy one, the chef's knife, and a whetstone, and maybe a flexible bladed one. I'll read the thread madness later.

Yeah but I promised TRACER an eyepatch, not MYSELF a catbus.

But YOU got a catbus without even ASKING for one and TRACER got a graduate degree from UK LAND.

otm. I used to have a little Sabatier kitchen knife that previously belonged to my late Granny and which stayed sharp forever. Last year I spotted a block of Sabatier knives in TK Maxx reduced to £50 or so and figured they would be a good bet. Rong. Total junk, they weren't properly sharp even when brand new.

I've got a Global chef's knife and a paring knife. That's about it.

I have those IKEA knives. For the money, they've certainly served me well, but in the end they are bendy & dull, & always have been tbh. I've been thinking about investing in a decent set. Are Wusthofs overrated? I know they are sharp as fuck when they are new, but how are they for longevity?

Also, I really need to see Escape From New York.
