Cooking Unensils
Knives and Smaller Utensils
Wusthof Classic 8-Piece Santoku Block Set- Wusthof makes great knives, sturdy and easy to grip. It is always good to have all your knives ready to go in a block set.
Joyce Chen Chinese Kitchen Knife 8"- This knife gets a lot of use in my house. It has been a workhorse for 25 years and it is still a fine knife (this despite the small amount of damage I did to it thinking it was a cleaver and first using it on pork bone). It's weight is perfect for chopping.
Cutting Boards Browse Pages at Amazon -Synthetic Boards - Wood Boards- There are so many different kinds for different uses. Personally, I like to keep one small plastic one, and one large wooden one.
Granite Mortar & Pestle, made in Thailand, 3 cup-(2 cup)- This is an essential piece of equipment for Asian cooking. Yes, you can use a food processor, but you usually don't get that special blending of flavors that grinding the ingredients in one of these will give you. Also comes in 2 cup.
Japanese Grater- Tin plated copper grater for fine grating of ginger and horseradish.
Bamboo Sushi Mats- The way to roll sushi. Get several mats so you can create more than one at a time.
Authentic cookbooks that have been personally tested and reviewed, enabling you to make easy and reliable cookbook selections. My experience with these cuisines comes from close to 30 years of cooking the foods of Asia and Oceania, extensive travel in Asia, and living in Hawai‘i.
