/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I think I could get by with my santoku, a bread knife, and a paring knife

>>13365624
You don't even need a knife at all, just buy food that's pre-cut instead of LARPing as a third world poverty loser from a dead-end country. Who do you think you're fooling with your virtue signaling? libtards?

This is the kind of bugman soi who buys a knife to do "le authentic cooking" just like the cool third world enablers on youtube

>paying 4$ for 5oz of onions
Versus
>paying 4$ for 2lbs of onions

I'll stick to chopping.

You glow in the dark, tourist.

>>13365684
Maybe if you got a real job instead of blowing $10000k on a liberal arts degree you could afford a first world standard of living.

>>13365690
>spending an assload of money on convenience instead of doing a 3 minute process yourself
That's a yikes

>and in this episode, we discuss why burning your eyes out with foul smelling vegetable odors and getting your hands all slimy and gross is a way for us to pay reparations to jamal and tyrone. make sure to pick up one of our signature chef knives in the link below!

My parents are pulling in over $65,000 a year combined. I think we can afford a dollar for food but what do I know. The great thing about being upper middle class is that we don't really have to think about pennies. At least not in the same way that you inner city types have to struggle with.

>>13365722
why?

>>13365624
8" Chefs, bread, 8-10" slicing, 6" utility/steak, another 6" utility, heavy cleaver and 4" serrated shit utility.

>>13365731
>65000 combined
Imagine not making 150000 alone as a home health aide.

>>13365733
Less functional than a chefs knife while also being smaller than most knives on average, which is usually less safe to use. Use a real knife, a nakiri (globals is excellently shaped), or a a kiritstuke. You'll be way happier.

>>13365951
can you explain to me why you need a fruit knife (paring knife), a boning knife (paring knife), and a utility knife (paring knife),

>>13365624
>nesisary

>>13365731
Delicious bait, my friend

>>13366502
>fruit knife is smaller which means peeling stuff or cutting really small things would be easier definetly going for this one

>boning knife not sure whether it is necisarry but apparently its good for cutting around bones, the shape might make carving around bones a bit easier

>utility knife seems to do the same job as the chefs knife but is slightly slimmer probably not worth it

anyways im an amature cook who's used to his parents making him dinner i just wanna know what knives an average cook would want

>>13366538
how old are you? i know some sites discounting based on age to encourage younger people to cook

>>13366541

>>13366542

>>13366545

>>13366591

>>13366548

>>13365731
>My parents are pulling in

>>13365731
Bait post in a bait thread

>>13365731
Nobody remembers this I guess. It was gay then. It's gay now.

>>13366599
anon, just because a high quality product i buy happens to be from Japan doesn't make me a weeb.

>>13365624
>Is it really nesisary for people to own more than 3 kitchen knives?

I’m not much of a cook so maybe not the best example but I recently bought pic related off Amazon for $15 and so far, all I’ve used is the “santoku” knife for slicing onions for liverwurst sandwiches.

>>13365662
>food that's pre-cut

That's fine if you're going camping / hunting and don't want to bring along an entire kitchen's worth of shit but otherwise, it makes far more sense to just buy a regular onion and slice it up.

>>13365731

>>13366665
whats the real difference between the chefs knife and the santuko knife tho? they seem like they're capable of cutting the exact same stuff just as well

>>13366690
>whats the real difference between the chefs knife and the santuko knife tho?

I'm guessing just the little concave notches in the blade, that allows whatever you're slicing to easily slide off.

>>13366690
santokus are kinda the hybrid between western and eastern knives
a chef knife is round so you can chop by rocking it, but it takes more effort to do the more eastern chopping motion, for which the cleaver looking asian knives are better for.
Santokus are pretty good at both, so i like them

>>13366765
That's not a santoku specific feature.

>>13365678
>lol if you cook your own food you are a soyboy
How is this board worse than /b/ and /tv/?

>>13365624
If all we ever owned was what we "needed" then everyone would have:
2 sets of clothing
1 pair of shoes
1 tent
1 sleeping bag
1 bowie knife
1 fire starting kit

>>13367258
>fire starting kit
You mean a lighter?

>>13367271
no I mean dry moss, and a hand drill, twink.

>>13367287
Oh ok let me just carry around "dry moss" in my mammoth hide satchel and grunt over a piece of wood every night, retard

>>13367287
>dry moss, and a hand drill
You ever watch those amateur survivalist shows where the beta wastes an entire day trying to get a bow-drill to work, meanwhile the chad goes off, builds a shelter, murders a snake with his bare hands, secures a fresh water source, and then comes back before sundown to find the beta still hasn't started a fire?
Fuck, just bring a goddamn lighter. Even a fucking flint striker would be faster than your primordial bullshit.

>>13365662
>needing pre cut veg
pathetic

>>13365624
For some things I prefer my chefs knife vs my santoku, but honestly I could get by with just the santoku.

>>13367145
cringe and bluepilled. what do you have against camping? also, i'm not even the anon you're talking too, i just felt the need to comment on the extreme faggotry of your post.

>>13366690
Santokus are just as tall as large western chef's knives for knnuckle clearance and scooping up cut fodd stuff, but they are much shorter which comes in handy if you are a line cook who has to work on a ten inch wide cutting board or if you have a really narrow countertop in your kitchen.

>>13365748
Stop it... it's all about preference. If you're god with a pairing knife and which ever knife you choose as the work horse you can do anything.

I prefer a sandoku over my large french knife, but if I'm in need of a heavier blade the extra 5 seconds of me switching knives isnt going to kill me.

>>13365624
I bought a henckle pro series knife set few years back. Came with all the usual, but I got to choose three items to mix and match. I use them all, funny the one i use least is the chef knife.

>>13365662
>he doesn't eat his food whole
never gonna make it anon

>>13365624
i mostly use my chef knife and a bread knife, but that said, I really would enjoy a cleaver to help with meat chopping.
