I have one of the Kyocera yoke peelers, and frankly I never
use it. There's something about it that just doesn't work
with my hand. And the blade seems too loose in the handle
(i.e. has too much play). I much prefer the yoke peelers
from Kuhn-Rikon. I saw recently that Kyocera
now offers a similar handle.
However, using a gift certificate I got for my birthday
I recently bought a Kyocera slicer. Basically a plane that's about
6 inches by three inches with a handle; it has a ceramic
blade in the middle of the plane. The thing is amazing.
I've been using it constantly to create really really thin
slices of vegetables etc. since I got it. The sharpness
of the ceramic blade is a real plus here.

What's in your fridge/pantry?

If I could add a follow up question to that, what things do you keep on hand all the time. Garlic sure, you mentioned Chimayo chile, salt and pepper etc. Do you find you keep a lot of herbs and spices on hand?
Vinegars? Oils? Hot sauces? Dozens of small jars in the fridge of various provenance? Sometimes I feel the need for a lot of these things and other times I think I could make do just a few baiscs.
