You are way over thinking this. edit: If you are using the pot in the oven with mostly liquid in it for making stock or stew then the liquid is going to be 212F/100C. Not higher. The entire metal vessel is going to be dumping excess heat into that liquid and it too will only marginally increase in temp over 212F/100C.

any recs on a good, affordable Chinese-style cleaver/chef knife? I picked up a really nice knife for a friend but he wants something else for more heavy-duty every day use, specifically a cleaver, and something cheap enough/sturdy enough that he can beat it up a bit

This is listed as a 49% off sale that ends in a few hours, but when it expires there will be another `sale' at approximately the same price. SubG posted:

Be aware that these are basically a drop-in replacement for a chef's knife and aren't heavy enough to hack through bones

SubG posted:As one of those crazy Chinese cleaver partisans I've gone over this very subject in detail in the kitchen knife thread a couple times. Used to be the standard rec was the CCK small slicer, nowadays I'm suggesting a SBZ S210 if you want something just like the CCK only less expensive, and the SBZ F208 if you want one in stainless. Quoting myself for the pics and detailed specs: It seems like those links are broken and I'm not finding anything for those model numbers. Are they available somewhere else?

Booyah- posted:It seems like those links are broken and I'm not finding anything for those model numbers. Are they available somewhere else? They seem to rotate listings semi-regularly, apparently to maintain the illusion that the price is an amazing 40-50% off sale instead of the price they always sell 'em for, so if someone in the future looks at these posts and discovers the link is dead, that's probably why. The merchant is called "Only You online store" and I don't know anything about them other than they sold me several cleavers and they always shipped promptly and always sent me what I ordered.

SubG posted:Nephzinho's post immediately above mine links to the same merchant's current listing for the F208. Somewhat confusingly it lists the different sizes as colour options: the larger F208-1 is the "black" option and the slightly smaller F208-2 is the "grey" option. Cool, thanks. I wanted the carbon steel one for cool factor so I'll keeping checking the merchant

Dave Arnold talked about this on Cooking Issues around January 7. His restaurateur guest said he calls the supplier after he places the order to specify which manufacturer he wants, since otherwise they grab a random batch. He didn't actually mention which manufacturer is the good one though, sorry! I assume the increase in delivery dining has increased demand --> production --> quality drop.

Reccs on a good coffee grinder or a guide on how to properly make coffee? My wife has a French press that she uses once a day with Dunkin Donut's coffee grounds. She just received a gift of some fancy coffee beans and wants to know more about how to make a proper cup of coffee. She's the only one that drinks coffee in the house so we're looking to just make 1-2 cups a day.

I know people in this thread have talked about Tramontina pans but I don't remember if it was in the context of stainless or non-stick. I'm currently looking at a set of their porcelain enamel non-sticks and wondered if anyone had thoughts or experiences.

She just received a gift of some fancy coffee beans and wants to know more about how to make a proper cup of coffee. I bought the OXO burr grinder and haven’t looked back. It’s very loud, but produces a perfect even grind basically every time, and the hopper is just large enough to hold 12 oz of coffee beans that come in my subscription. That said, I make 30 ounces of coffee every day, sometimes twice, so I go through a decent amount of beans. Got mine at BB&B in a sale for $80.

She just received a gift of some fancy coffee beans and wants to know more about how to make a proper cup of coffee. A proper cup of french press coffee? My method is to place 4 scoops of whole beans, ground with a spice grinder until about as fine as Mortin's coarse kosher salt, into the bottom of the press. Pour 24 ounces of boiling water over them (some people say to wait a few minutes until the water is ~190ish, never tried that) and let the 'raft' of grounds float at the top for 1 minute. Once the minute is up stir the grounds thoroughly with a spoon and then wait 3 more minutes. Once the three minutes are up press the filter down, pour and enjoy. This is adapted from various sources, Good Eats, Serious Eats, Babish and etc.. IMO the 1 minute raft period before stirring is the key. I used to just stir in the water right away and it was never a 'great' cup of coffee when I did that.

What grater do folks like for cheese and veggie grating? I've hated nearly every box grater I've ever used either because they're too small or uncomfortable to hold. I saw someone somewhere suggest a more coarse and wider microplane which seems like it might be the ticket?

Someone (OXO?) used to make a box grater that was a tall skinny pyramid with a big ergonomic rubberized ball grip on top but I can't find it anymore. That's my next box grater after the handle on my current one tore off.
