    last new years eve instead of hitting some shitty party me and the mrs stumped up some bank and did the degustation at momofuku seiobo at the Star in the afternoon, old mate Paul Carmichael did marron, and a kingfish head over the coals, bucket list stuff. the bloke is a genius.

    the restaurant is nuts, just a couple of barbecues and three induction tops

    it's defo worth the cash, the matching booze is off the chain

    the japanese binchotan charcoal is deadset amazing, you'll never use any other crap again
    **** just what I need another bbq on my list, sort of got permission from the Missus for an offset smoker in the future might be pushing the boundaries adding a 6th bbq to my collection.

    Jeez thats some expensive charcoal though.

    Solingen Germany is known as the city of blades. Depending on what you want to spend brands to look at would be DOVO Solingen, Wüsthof, J. A. Henckels, Böker, Eickhorn-Solingen. My parents have had a set of JA Henckles for around 50 years which are still going even after 40 years of use through a dishwasher [which I wouldn't recommend].

    These will last you a lifetime and are very easy on the wallet when you get them on sale. Usually $900 but EOFY on sale for $300 http://www.victoriasbasement.com.au/...ade-in-germany

    I just stumbled in here because I assumed this was a meth cooking thread or something but gosh dang I'm learning a lot.

    I've never owned a BBQ in my life and have absolutely no idea what people enjoy about them but if a mans gonna have 6 of them then there's obviously something appealing.

    Oh don't worry I'm here to look for knives to buy so when I'm at dinner and I ask someone how their food is and they begin their response with "what I like about the dish is........." then I can jump across the table and stab them in the face.

    Actually I'd prefer to do my stabbing with something rusty and dull but I'm open to feedback.

    Hahaha look up American bbq, I only have one gas bbq for quick cooks and emergencies. It's all about cooking with wood/charcoal.

    Yeah pretty happy with it, could have done with another hour or so but was about 9pm and was still cooking it had been on since 7. Flavour wise I think I prefer Beef Short Ribs though. Did get some pics and a video will post them up later.

    Also cooked a 4kg pork shoulder, 2 kgs of pork belly burnt ends, kilo of wings, kilo of chilli cheese sausages, prosciutto wrapped Brie and pineapple with cinnamon and brown sugar on the spit.

    Globals are decent but being Japanese steel they use a harder metal which is more prone to chipping and breaking but keep an edge better, do your best not to drop them, don't use glass chopping boards, don't put them in your dishwasher and I would look at getting a sharpening stone and a good honing steel and watch some youtube videos and learn how to use them.

    At the very least there is a global ceramic water sharpener http://www.kitchenwarehouse.com.au/G...rpener-Ceramic which will do a good job if used regularly.

    Awesome!!!
    Thanks mate, yeah I'm usually in the kitchen bare-footed so don't aim to drop even my shittiest of knives.. haha
    Don't have glass chopping board, and I'll be making sure they don't go in the dishwasher, she wouldn't be a fan of that..

    I'll get my hat on the way out..
