Hi Billy, just want to say how much I enjoy your content. I’ve been cooking a long time and I’m learning new techniques from you. Thank you! My question is about knife sharpeners. I’d like to buy either an electric or manual. Would prefer to not go the wet stone route. Which ones do you recommend? Thanks again. Trudy
I have a few recommendations on my Kitchen Essentials list at https://www.billyparisi.com/top-30-kitchen-essentials/
I notice on your videos, you use Made-In. I have some made-in pots and love them! However, I am looking to add a stainless steel pan. Would you recommend the 10″ or the 12″? Also, would you recommend a Made In chef’s knife? Right now I have a Shun Classic, but want something I can sharpen easily. I did buy the sharpener you recommended. Thank you!
depends on how many you are serving I suppose. 12 is solid. Made-in Knives are sold. Big MAC fan though.
What cleaver knife you use?
vegetable or meat cleaver?
Is there a brand of pots/pans that you would recommend? I currently have Calphelon and the interior is getting pretty scratched up. I am concerned about the materials flaking off into the food, so I’m not married to the non stick pots. A lower end price range would be ideal, however I understand that you do get what you pay for.
I’ve been using Made In for a few years and love them.
What vacuum sealer do you use?
meat
What kind ( brand) of meat tenderizer ( mallet) do you recommend?
Honestly they all do the same.
I need your advice. What grill and what smoker do you use.
I like Napoleon gas grills. Use Yoder wood/charcoal grill and smoker
Hello and Happy Day! At one point, i saw that you recommended a pasta pot which had the drainer insert. I have decided to make my life easier and want to purchase myself a Mother’s Day gift. This will be helpful saving that special pasta water as salty as the ocean! Thank you for your advice.
Hi Marla! Here’s a link to that Steamer Basket-https://amzn.to/40op35m. Happy Mother’s Day!
What bread knife is best for homemade sourdough bread?
Thank you!
Any will work tbh.
Good afternoon,

Thanks,
Mike
