Kyocera (ys, the cell phone brand) makes knives that last even longer from ceramic. Check them out! Better than folded forged steel and almost as sharp as diamond.

Hi Cali!

Love watching the Brief, always informative and entertaining! Just an FYI regarding kitchen cutlery, I don’t disagree with you regarding Bob Kramer knives they are fantastic. But I must let you and others know about Murray Carter at Carter Cutlery
http://www.cartercutlery.com/ Please do not hesitate to check out his knives, which are some of the most sought out in the world. He’s got a very unique story that you can read about at his website…definitely check it out.
Thank you for the many wonderful stories…keep it up!!

The CookStar is just the thing for a studio like mine. It’s so small, you have to go outside to change your mind. =)

Cali,

I have the Zojirushi hot water kettle. I love this thing and can’t live without it. Keep water at a steamy 250 degrees for nice and hot coco on a cold day!

Love all your episodes, but very cool to find out you are a bit of a foodie as well. I’m a professional chef in wisconsin. I think it’s great that food has become such a big part of peoples lives today. Would love to exchange recipes with you! Speaking of macgourmet.. great program, swear by it.

I’ve got to put in one more vote for the Zojirushi (introduced to it by Cali and Neal, so it all comes around). It’s incredibly simple and makes incredibly good rice. Even Chris Pirillo has one and loves it: http://chris.pirillo.com/worlds-geekiest-rice-cooker/
