Yeah people have this idea that thrift stores are the same everywhere.

The best thrift stores I've seen are in "upscale" suburbs of uncultured, moderate sized cities with somewhat healthy economies. Chagrin Falls, Minnetonka, Winnetka, places like that are absolutely ideal.

Abject poverty zones like Buffalo or Milwaukee, or full scale hipster places like Brooklyn or San Francisco, are wastelands because either there's nothing good being tossed out, or kids with too much time on their hands ravaged the inventory.

Yeah. While not exactly what you are talking about, I went through a thrift store in san diego and saw some old designer clothes for like a couple dollars. Some of it was old af but, still, designer. I wish I'd been as into cooking then as I am now. Probably could have gotten some good cookware.

I love that, I got a full set of nice German porcelain dishes for 10 cents a dish at mine one day. Looked like they'd never been used and they were clearly older. Someone dumped a collection of fire King milk glass and they upped the price on those to 25 cents a piece. It's good to hit stores that get a lot of donations who are desperate to get the stuff out of there.

Because of this thread Im going to buy a bunch of good cookware, fill them with blood, semen, and feces and then cook on low for several hours. After that I'm going to clean them out sparingly and donate them to thrift stores around town.

It is the new hipster thing. The number of knife sharpening videos on YouTube and views they get have been increasing at more and more accelerated pace, and there is now even a channel dedicated to just knife sharpening that appears to be making money (Burrfection). And, Babish said he's going to do knife sharpening videos.

Stock up on Naniwa and Shapton stones now, because the price is going up to $400 when the entire Williamsburg jumps on knife sharpening next year.

If you ever used the Wolf stove you posted, you'd know that an electronic control panel pops out when you press the rectangular metal thing between the hobs. You'd also know the oven hob has an LCD temperature display right on the hob itself. Those things are what makes Wolf "pro-style ranges for home" less reliable compared to just run of the mill home ranges from LG and Frigidaire that don't have control panel that side in and out or hobs with electronics on the hob itself.

This is the way to do it. I've found a ton of good stuff at Goodwill and other thrift stores.

I just moved into my grandma's house after we put her in a home and she has a number of Zwilling J.A. Henckel knives in a Henckel block. No idea if they're even good, but they're German. Also I have some old Gerber kitchen knives from France. Have to go through a ton of her kitchen and see if there's anything else valuable in here. This house has so much stuff, it's ridiculous.

I've never used an electric range, is it less reliable because the displays are on the hob and that gets hot, so the measured temperature and the actual temperature aren't the same?

[Anonymous No.11140826]

>>11140800
No, electronics on moving parts is what decreases reliability. You're subjecting the electronics and all the solder joints to constant shock and vibration from push and turn in addition to the heat from the stove.

diamond plates give very poor feedback, they are also not idal for knives because steel, especially gummy stainless steel, can rip the diamond particles from their matrix and wear the plate out much sooner than you would a stone. They are better used for flattening stones and similar tasks.

>Gas stomps the shit out of induction.
Most of the stuff in that post is totally irrelevant at least to me. It also totally leaves out all the disadvantages of gas. I will gladly trade all those listed advantages for a heat source that can bring my gallon of potatoes and water to a boil in three minutes vs. ten or twelve like gas. Gas is NOT more powerful than even a 2000W portable induction hob, unless you are using one of those jet engine wok burners, and in that case I should be allowed to use a 3500W or 5000W industrial top. And those work without roasting the cook along with the food.
