@catdaddy do the Rules of War say you can only make one ? why not Meat LS on the Italianish side of things and a Veg version lets call it the California side of things for no reason what so ever that would would have sliced artichoke bottoms , spinach usual cheeses and tomato sauce. maybe béchamel for that one but some basil too

@catdaddy what i think is most important is this be the best LS you've ever made by your standards and your taste that being said : I started making LS based on the TestKitchens Rx probably from their first season it had meat. perhaps three kinds , and ground. it had ricotta enriched w eggs and fresh basil etc. it was covered in foil initially and the tip I really enjoyed was that the foil was sprayed w PAM-ish so it didn't stick to the top and was removed for the final portion in the oven. their was some cream for a Panade-ish and the meat was 'grey'd' not browned. what the real point ? My father had many students all over most of the globe two sets came to visit and they were Italians I made this exact same LS for each group granted we had local BayArea sourdough and some decent Ridge Zinfandel but they said this was the best LS they ever had. before we got to bottle 3. I believe them , as I saw their reaction at first taste LS for Competitions needs Meat. esp if their are Italians involved granted if LS is : a layered experience with flat noodles involved the the sky is the limit. but Italian ? meat. ground. w enough ' white-cheezie ' ( your take on this is fine ) between the layers. hope to see your entry ask toi pic the others !

if you are leaning towards ricotta consider cottage cheese. it is similar to ricotta but has more flavor ' process ' until smooth and make sure there is a little fennel seed in the dish not too much , but a decent hint to me , fennel seed and of course the plant tastes like liquorish and Im not a fan of liquorish but there needs to be ' not too much ' in lasagna that's ' Italian ' if you prefer noodles you have to boil , of the brand of your choice soak them in hot water soaking lasagna noodles in hot water some people feel ' boil ' noodles have more flavor and a better chew. best of luck and please report back

Magnetic Knife Strip, Be It Wooden, Stainless, Whatever
rotuts replied to a topic in Kitchen Consumer
then go for it but if you can't do that the other items from HD will work fine but go for being comfortable ! I really do like these : https://www.benchcrafted.com/Magblok.html a billion years ago when i still did woodworking I had some very fine NE BirdsEye Maple and when LeeValley was still in Canada they offered Rare Earth Magnets of various sizes and those would be inserted in the wood in question Down in the Home Work-Shop then plugged w BEM finished of course but I never got to it Om wondering if the link I mentioned has used this technique ? -

for a 12 " knife rack you might not need anything more than a standard plastic insert you can get at HomeDepot the weight of the knives pull down not out that a 9o degree diff the items above are really fantastic. but possibly far more than you need. that being said you can do as I did with these : https://www.homedepot.com/s/plastic%20screw%20wall%20incerts?NCNI-5 however if your EdgePro'd knives fall off the wal a NYC wall after all , Don't Call Me. -

Ive used Magnabars for ever. they work fine recently i got a pair of Watanabe knives I thought very hard about putting them up on the Magnabar but i thought i would be very careful taking them down so the blade was not damaged by the exposed metal. I got two very small blemishes on the blade , easily repaired w the EdgePro 1000 grit / 2300 polishing stone ( not tape ) this was recommended to my by EdgePro. I took y time. I then ordered a Magnabar knock off from amazon and plan to grind out a passage in the metal-wood sort of a trough so the cutting edge of the blades of these knifes never touch anything say 1 " when the are put on the racks and taken down. I just a haven't gotten to it. this was never a problem w any of the western knives I can't say what would happen w the westernized Japanese knives as seen ( shun ? ) in one of your choices just keep that in mine even if the blades openly touch wood , not meal the issue is how the knives ' roll off ' the strip. -
Does MB recommend any particular machines ? my copy won't ship until Nov 13 ! and does any one know if there is a machine that allows you to take out the dough and retard it in the refig yet putt back in the machine on a rise setting than a ' custom bake ' i.e. you set the time or a baking time that would work for such a loaf ?
