Are these potatoes still ok to eat?

1) Best current beginner guide would be Good Eats by Alton Brown, IMHO.

2) I don't eat fast food.

3) Google "Mora Knives".

4) Meh, not bad for a starter set, but IMHO the large square griddle thing and the small nonstick pan are redundant to the larger nonstick pan. It's also missing a large, tall, stockpot as well as some kind of non-nonstick skillet for when you want to generate a fond for making pan sauces.

Good to know, thanks. I was going to buy the bigger set of these but I unfortunately lack the money to do so. I settled for these because these were well-liked by customers who've used them for a long time and the brand is reputable.

Speaking of reputable I need to get some knives; I currently have none and sadly googling ( and even e-mailing Mora ) hasn't worked so I'm thinking I'll buy another brand. How do you feel about pic related? I know it has a knife block but I'd be washing every knife I took out of that block before using it on food. I know "Block" should stand for "bacteria lock" because cleaning the block itself is near impossible.

I personally wouldn't get those; serrated knives are great for some tasks but they aren't very versatile at all. I would recommend buying individual knives that fit your needs instead of a set. That way you can tailor your knife set to fit exactly your needs.

Perfectly fine. Remove those twigs, cut out the eyes, peel generously and cook thoroughly.

At least it's not cast iron

Half of your last thread was people in unison telling you to buy a Victorinox/Forschner, and you come right back with this shit.
Fuck off, and pics of that T-Fal set or it didn't happen and you're just trolling.

Washing them as we chat. And yes, a lot of people did tell me to go buy a Victorinox and I'm not against it but I really don't want to give that company my money if I can avoid it. I'll just leave it at that.

Sorry for bad pic quality btw; pics coming from my cheap chromebook.

it's not a bad pots and pans set but because it's non stick you can fuck it up really quick if you dont take care of it

i just picked up a nice stainless steel set myself

>>7610017
What is the best way to take care of them in your opinion. Also, which Stainless set?

Why does he have to remove all that tasty stuff?

I have really fresh eggs, what's a good hollandaise recipe? I want to make eggs Benedict. Picture very related

>>7609504
Buy a victorinox 8" chef's knife, 4" paring knife, and a serrated bread knife. You should be able to do most things with that combination, then buy blades as you need them. Can't beat a good butcher's knife for cutting steaks/chops though.

>>7609800
Then get a Wustof or Henkel you blubbering vagina.

Just the standard practice for nonstick: never use metal utensils in them, and be careful not to overheat them or it will burn the coating and ruin the pan.

What kind? There are massive variations in the cheesemaking process depending

I'm going to be taking the change as an opportunity to change my diet, but I'm terrible at planning or being creative.

What are some of your guy's favourite healthy(sh) bachelor eats? I'm thinking I'll probably have a lot of wraps and things. Chicken in the oven, frozen vegetables kind of deal. Got to keep it easy enough to sway me from takeout. Your folks experience in this?
