[Q&A -- Knife Maintenance and Sharpening]

I got my Edge Pro and I'm now looking to replace my Steel. Currently using a regular cut Dick. Would a superfine be in order or a polish? Who makes ceramic "Steels". Any tips please? Also Left handed Japanese knives are made by Masahiro.

[Q&A -- Understanding Stovetop Cookware]

I have a question that I thought some smart egulleteer might be able to answer.

I've seen and experienced cheaper/lighter cookware rock around on a hot burner. Even if you take the pan off and then set it back on the burner, the rocking will start up again right away. I have a couple of ideas as to why this might happen, but was just curious as to the real explanation. I figure it must have something to do with the materials, the weight, and a warped bottom of some sort.

If anyone could explain I would be interested in knowing why...

Thanks again!

Cheap cookware+ cheap stove causes rocking. Falk has an introductry special That I recomend. I got and 6" frypan and later a 6" sauce pan for about $99 apiece. Great Stuff

[Not again, Mom!]

My Mother wasn't a bad cook; hit about 60%of the time. Then I move to Calif. and the first visit; Whats that ? Lamb butterfiled on the BBQ with Garlic and a red wine marinade. do you have mint jelly? awfully rare. So much garlic (we have calif vampires). try it. That's LAMB, yes. She had never actually tasted lamb before only over cooked mutton from her mother and she cooked the same way. Always let me cook when I came to visit.
