Your knife skills are better than mine then
. I find the bowie to big and clumsy in the kitchen apart from butchery, but each to their own. I could never use a cleaver like Ken Hom does (or to be honest most chinese chefs) either. Maybe I'm just a clumsy fekker.
I thought husbands were the designated dishwasher ? in our house the breakfast pots can be still in the sink when i get home .What is this washing up of which you speak? For things that won't go in the dishwasher, there are binbags
) OCD and like things to be clean, tidy and orderly, so when I get home I have to sort the sink, clean the plates and then wash everything. I'd rather everything was just left on the draining board so I could do it 'my way' from the beginning. 
I don't have a husband, hence the dishwasher and binbag
Argh, yes. At work my two sink-hates are mugs filled with water 'to soak' (which then all need emptying and putting up on the side ready to wash) and used tea bags in the sink. I've never ever understood the thought process that leads people to decide to put tea bags in the sink, when there's a waste bin as the other option. I'm not normally a violent man, but...And that's what annoys me. All the dirty plates still with leftovers on are just chucked in the sink. I'm the one with 'above average' (
Agree wholeheartedly on the teabag in sink thing!!
People do it in office environments, I mean wtf
My favourite sign in a shared office kitchen, written by the cleaners who came in at the end of the day was "Dirty mugs put in the cupboard will the thrown away". Just the thought that people would actually put dirty mugs in a cupboard...Agree wholeheartedly on the teabag in sink thing!!
Maz bought me a cleaver and a 'steel' couple of years ago, if you watch the way Chinese chefs use one (the way you hold them is totally different to a knife) it becomes easy.Your knife skills are better than mine then
You'll always hold a meat cleaver a different way to the way you hold a knife!Maz bought me a cleaver and a 'steel' couple of years ago, if you watch the way Chinese chefs use one (the way you hold them is totally different to a knife) it becomes easy.
PS - not only do I have a proper Wok I've also got a Carbon Steel Balti pan.

My wife assigns me pot washing duty but i do it with military precision, you could almost eat your tea off the plates once i have given them a good scrape!can be the same in ours as well
You still can't make a decent cuppa then? Prefer to drink mine, not eat it!
