i have not, looking them up now. neat

right now i keep jasmine, basmati and calrose in stock

yeah, if you're thinkin of it as pan-asian then jasmine and basmati is reasonable, but korean peeps its short grain or nothing. peeps will add millet or make the 3, 5, 7-ingredient rice (3, 5, 7곡밥: 5 ingredients is glutinous rice, millet, adzuki bean, black bean, sorghum) but they wont consider basmati or jasmine properly korean

the rice hipsterdom that is possible is quite deep. can you find half-milled brown rice where you are? what about gaba rice, or sprouted rice? etc...

any of y'all got good knives???

I've watched Cara Devine get citrus zest by cutting the rest of the citrus off from the back enough times that I thought I would try it. Turns out not one knife in my collection is capable of this maneuver and I'm thinking about buying better knives

you can get a $5 dollar store knife to do this if and only if you sharpen and hone correctly. also sharpening is not honing. if you have no inclination to learn water stone sharpening what you want is a spyderco gizmo. honers are a commodity product

difference betw knoves is how long they hold edge. if you wanna do knife tricks carbon steel knife is best for that but they are a fuckin pain in the rear end to maintain

Yeah I thought this was the GWS general questions thread for a minute

Victorinox knives are okay for the price (especially if you get them on sale) and want the cheapest tolerable knife but they're still extremely soft.

If you don't sharpen your knives it doesn't matter what you buy because they'll be dull, but if you sharpen your knives you're probably going to want something that can at least minimally hold an edge for more than one use. I have a 5 inch victorinox knife as a utility knife and it's okay for that but I think I would go crazy trying to use a bigger one for everything.

as i said, if you wanna be doin knife tricks and poo poo w em you want a carbon steel knife and/or sharpen them weekly, but they are absolute little shits for maintenance

only thing harder is ceramic. however, the way you sharpen a ceramic knife is to get a new knife and you prolly dont wanna be doin that for the every-month pace it takes to be doin knife tricks
