Commercial kitchen vs home vs professional at home vs home shinyitis sufferer are all very different. I’ve known many different chefs; owner/ head chefs, suis chefs, home meals are very different than the stuff at work! Christmas dinner at one very prominent chefs house involved a Whole Foods catered dinner! Most professional level cookware would never come anywhere near my kitchen, sushi chef knives being the exception, they know their ..... Most holidays growing up involved a giant platter of sashimi, mom was best friends with a locally well known traditional sushi chef, I worked in their kitchen for a short time as my first job.

I'm a home cook but my preference is professional equipment. I don't always use it, but when I do I seriously do.

I make so much homemade bread around every holiday that my professional stand mixer can barely withstand it.. I'd go with a large Hobart if it didn't seem utterly ridiculous most of the year.. lol.

So for me it's professional all the way.. pans, knives, mixers and blenders, it's just better. But I do actually cook.. and during holidays it's for large amounts of people.

I cook a dinner at every holiday once for 80 people, once for two people, and once for about two dozen. Plus I make food baskets as gifts.. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter with other holidays periodically thrown in.. nothing gets catered, and that's not even counting socials.

My tools take a beating at work. All my stuff at home is being replaced with professional equipment. It just performs better. I have all clad pans but i really dont like them that much. With the amount of use and being well taken care of professional equipment will last for life at home. It is also what I am used to. Culinary is probably the biggest industry here so There are a lot of restaurant supply stores.

I couldn't be happier than my Zyliss and FDick kitchen knives, both excellent also.

Not familiar with Zyliss but FDick are good knives.

Global is very to Miyabi, made down the street from each other. And the cleaver always seems to be of unknown origins, am I right?

I know you said you dont like ordering online but this is a good site.

I wasn't participating in the nic talk.
Imho 100 is the way to go hands down.
Look at it as to how long it lasts versus storing it
If making 30ml testers at 3mg.
You would use like 1ml of 100 versus 2.5 of 36mg.
So basically a 250ml bottle of 36 would only make 100 batches.
My math isn't exact but hope that helps put it in perspective.

I have kids too and keep my 100 in a cheap little lock box as a safety measure and they aren't allowed around when mixing. That's not always easy but by now they get it.

Good morning shiny folk I am awake, so consider yourselves emogied..

I had no idea knives were such a shiny thing. I have excellent cooking knives, but only due to the husband.

Have a happy, shiny day ahead that is also sharp, I guess.

I guess that means it's a good thing that is it's pouring here.

 

[stols001]

No rain here, but it is overcast STILL! This is not like Tucson at all. I hope it rains. Vapers don't let vapers dry hump.... At least, the grownups shouldn't be! Unless it is your thing, I guess.... LOL.

Good morning Shiny's! Late start today. More mixing later. Got the singles and 2-3 flavor recipes knocked out yesterday, today the more complex and candy mixes. Unfortunately I have more flavors incoming again. This rabbit hole runs deep!

I think I've settled on a Squid (TAC21 or DB) and a couple Tobeco Super tanks (not the 25) for my next purchases. Daniel has his review up for the Dovpo VEE VV and I'm tempted to pick it up as well.

Hopefully the newer Dovpo gear is of better quality, their previous 510's were absolute garbage.

Not really. I've only discovered my sweet spot vaping style within the last year or so. So I have to collect those backups that work for me, right? My problem isn't I want it all, it's that what I want isn't cheap. Therefore very few backups. Guess I'm blessed that my preferred rta is under $25. Pick up one every time I order from FT. My reasoning is sound. (that's my story and I'm sticking to it)

I have been waiting 2 weeks for my latest over seas orders to move. My lost Vape Coral DNA 60 from Hong Kong is in Compton CA. My drip tips from Greece have arrived in New York. Hopefully some vape mail soon!
