New Category

[Jonathon]

Hi guys, while Austin is away I am going to sneak in a bunch of things I have been wanting to do! So this is a new category that can be used for anything non-food related that people want to talk about. Could be people looking for how toos on anything or people who want to share something.

So, if you have had a bunch of things you wanted to share or ask but they aren’t food related this is the place!

Jonathon I think that while he’s gone, this would be a perfect time to have drawings on knife sharpeners and larger meat grinders…LOL

[Tex_77]

So this is where the spammers should post then?

[Chef]

Tex_77 Only if English is not their native language.

[Jonathon]

Tex_77 Spammers seem to have calmed down slightly, we are still deleting multiple accounts per day!

[Chef]

Jonathon Apparently they have moved on to ransomware in school systems. Becoming a significant problem with keeping children’s info confidential…

[Chef]

On a totally different note. Does anyone have a manual tamale machine/maker? if so, what brand and just what to look for?

What is your preferred knife for removing silver skin ?

Denny A boning knife. I use a Victorinox.

[Chef]

Denny I use a paring knife. Always worth investing in a good quality knife. I use Wusthof, but I use my knifes daily on a professional basis. There are many good brand, including the Victorknox that Tex_77 suggest.

Does Walton’s sell the Victorinox knife set they are giving away? I cant seem to find it

[chippewa]

Denny I use a 8” fillet knife that I usually for fish and it works great for taking the silver skin off.

lkrfletcher I believe yes, the company goes by two names, not sure what the real difference is, but can be confusing https://www.waltonsinc.com/forschner-kitchen-set-with-wood-block-8-piece

[Chef]

On a different note, I haven’t been able to find any brand of lump charcoal anywhere, at least within about 30 miles or so from where I live. Not even the hardware stores. Anyone else noticing this?

[Chef]

Tex_77 I believe that Victorinox agreed to supply knifes to Forschner, who changed their name to Swiss Army. Forschner then sold all rights to Victorinox, sole owner now.

THANK YOU

[Jonathon]

lkrfletcher Yup, that’s it. They’ve been hard to get as so many other things have been! The chefs knife in that set is amazing!
