    That is what I call well-seasoned; has that pan always been yours, or did it come from some restaurant where you might have picked it up at auction?

    Just ten year use. And not even taking care or it that well, I do use dish soap, for example, but only when it becomes necessary. After that, just more oil and that´s it. Maybe it is the love I have for it that makes the difference, haha.

  2. Currently Cooking a Lamb Braise which I might post later, but Last night I made Chashu entirely from a ham hock. Did not debone or bind it beforehand, as it was more a test run of the priciple, but it came out amazing. Unlike the pork belly version I also kept the skin, which turned lovely gelatinous without being overbearing or unpleasant. Used it to make a little pre-lunch sandwich with a bok choi, mustard, gochujang and some french cheese in between the slices. Toast go a bit too dark.

  3. First confit in my FatPot™ Red wine marinated Pork belly, then cut, slathered in "asian glace" and roasted in the oven. Salad of confit onion and garlic, the outer leaves of the romaine lettuce with mustard, chinkiang vinegar and some semame oil. With the hearts of the lettuce panroasted in some of the confit fat. With the rest of the glace watered down to a sauce.

  5. I have been seeing knifes like this displayed in stores recently. Unfortunately, a quick search only yielded this one: http://knifenews.com/fini-cutlery-stubby-knife-handle-thinks-youve-been-holding-your-kitchen-knives-all-wrong/ which is also quite cheap. I have seen more upscale versions of the same principle for 300 EUR+.

     

    Any of you got experiences with this kind of knife? Also I´d be happy for other resources, links, reviews, shop pages.

  6. Like I said, they are more like gnocchi, but usually fried. Think in the direction of french fry more than dumpling. I personally like bell peppers, You don´t have to use them. The most basic version of strapatsada would be to puree fresh tomatoes, cook them down in olive oil for ten to twenty minutes and then stir the eggs in. The rest is up to your taste, the contents of your fridge and how much extra steps you are in the mood of taking.

  7. Schupfnudeln are a kind of german gnocchi, a bit firmer and usually fried, in this case baked. Strapatsada is a greek dish that is basically a tomato sauce with eggs stirred in, often topped with feta, in my case more heavy on bellpepper and topped with crushed hazlenut. No, I have not made this in a while, but it is a good brunch / lunch dish, because it is easily scalable.
