Ohh. Yeah I'd like to try my own marinade but it just adds to the cost and mess of the meal for daily eating. Maybe for a special dinner or something I'll fire that up!

I weighed the pros and cons of ceramic knives and pulled the trigger. She seems to like them a lot so hopefully they'll stay sharp as long as advertised and won't break if they should be accidentally dropped. I brought my dad back a ceramic knife from Japan and he cut himself pretty good just taking it out of the package. MONDO sharp!
One of these days I'll come up with an excuse to buy one or two for myself.
I just bought a ceramic folder from Flint Knives. Very reasonably priced, I'll let you guys know how it is.

Doing your own is cheaper.

It only takes a few minutes to whip up marinades and dressings and its not much more $$.
Not when your roommate bought the marinade

anybody have plans for a Big Green Egg grill? there's a display of them at the local ACE hardware and i find myself drooling over them all the time. they have a cooking festival at their factory not far from me and i really want to go this fall.
they have a hefty price tag though. but can you put a price on quality leisure?

I know some cooks that have them and love them... but I just got a regular Weber charcoal to augment my gas grill. I really couldn't justify the price tag.

I'll admit, I'm ignorant to this. What does buying a baller knife set get you over a generic set and a grinding stone/sharpener?

I had a knife set that was pimp until I put them all through the dishwasher... FAIL!

Quality of steel determines how sharp an edge a knife can hold. Crappy knives not only dull uberfast, their edges can't even be sharpened to something worthwhile because they chip/crack at a microscopic level.

The handling of a knife is huge too. The grip/handle, and weight play a huge factor.

(and in a lot of other peoples opinions too, like Alton Brown!  )
But yes you are right.
The Shuns are a different feel from the German blades. Much lighter and nimbler. Like comparing a Katana to a Broadsword.
I actually have a big set of forged Chicago Cutlery that I got to fill in the gaps since the Shun set is only 6 knives. They arent as sharp or as well balanced as the Shuns but I REALLY like the feel of them and for the price they are a steal.
I have a set of those Chicago Cutlery knives as well, and you're right for the money..i'm not entirely convinced they'll stay as sharp as some, but then again, i abuse them a lot too.
