Knife Sharpening

A sharp knife is a chef’s best friend. Sharp knives are safer and easier to use, but even the best blades will dull with use if not properly maintained. Whether or not you’ve invested in high-quality knives, regular maintenance (with the right tool) makes knife sharpening fast and foolproof—extending the life of your knives and equipping you to prep like a pro in your home kitchen.

Fermentation & Culturing

Fermentation has been used for centuries to preserve foods. The process is still used today to transform sugars and starches into natural probiotics, which aid digestive “gut” health. Making your own tempeh, yogurt, kombucha, natto, and more at home is also economical and reduces food waste. Master the science of fermentation and culturing with our guides and supplies.
