Raises hand

Ever used a v-slicer? I used to have a mandoline - fancy, expensive French thing - but had better results with my v-slicer. YMMV, just curious.

The one pictured above is the one I have.

Cuisinart Stainless

I also have a Cuisinart Heavy Duty food processor, a lighter duty but still full-sized Braun processor, and a little Magic Chef processor for chopped onion/chive, etc.

A lot of overlap, but I got the mini-processor a long time ago as a gift, the Cuisinart as a practical giveaway on closeout at Home Depot [originally $125, on closeout for $20], and the Braun a neighbor was giving away when they moved. I actually use it most because it has a bread hook and a batter whisk.

I am about as good with a knife as possible, I used one for years and years - prep cooking will help your skills quicker than anything else. What others consider labor is second nature to me. Not trying to brag about it, but it's become what it is. But yes - Sharp, good quality knives are a must, I absolutely agree.

More of a Parmesan flavor. Definitely doesn't taste like Chinese food.

I flipped burgers for a few weeks in HS, before getting a nice union job at a grocery store, other than that never commercially cooked. I did formal dinners for 100 at a time but never got anything for that other than a round of applause. I was around commercial kitchens, just didn't work in them. So I guess you let Ambrosi grind your knives to nothing or did you do the rental?

Tell us about the time you defused the terrorist bomb and saved the city, Uncle Cooper!

OK , Mr Orthopristis Chrysoptera, as long as you promise not to grunt when you laugh at the funny parts.

a little of both - usually they were outsourced to Atlanta Knife, IIRC.

I love fried rice.

I want the rice kind of crispy with extra egg and spicy bits of meat.

I tried some from this Happy Fun Palace of Asian Cuisine last night. They put raisins in it. It was really good. They added a lot to it. I never thought that I'd like raisins in friend rice. Not outside of breakfast rice anyway
