Here's the p00p $9.98 and a lifetime guarantee http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=90507-16878-50251&lpage=none Had these for a few years and have held up nicely ; notched at the base of the blade for heavy bones or rose twigs. HTH Jorge
I was able to carbonate ice cream very effectively in an open container , so you could carbonate overnight ,in the freezer, open and then cap it later . Dry ice bags ,in fact have instructions for carbonating beverages on them. HTH Jorge
How about a nub of dry ice in a stout bottle ? One of those camping drink bottles would withstand many psi and seal tightly... Found that out by accident with the mixer and ice cream experiment. HTH Jorge
Got the Kitchenaid architect series II to match the stove Not quick but cleans really well and dries nicely. The four-hour delay feature is nice for ovenight runs .Quiet enough to watch TV with and a great step forward from the GE unit that the builder put in.
Knives, no question. I first sharpened a knife when I was about 8 or so and have been a student of cutlery ever since The visceral extension of my hand that a sharp blade gives me is not unlike musicians with their instruments. i feel the slices slip down to dice and await their saute' .As I start to sweat and add salt and cracked black to the onion and carrot and celery,it's like a CMaj chord all in tune as the vapors and steam set a counterpoint to await the rib-eye to get his sear and symbolically return juices to the vegetal flavors .Once roasted then the rest that permits sauces and glazes to form and polymerize .Without a quality knife I am a assembling clod, With one I feel like a composer but working in a field without limit
