Nope. My freezer is full of things I can’t safely seal in a jar.

To be fair, it was a fellow professional cook who used the “knife shredder” every day before service.

I’ve been using my stones for 6+ years and still wouldn’t consider myself a pro. Sharper than one of these? Sure. Sharp enough to shave? No.

Along the same lines: If you’re just starting to build you’re appliance collection, get a stick blender before a jar blender or a food processor.

Another tip I don’t see mentioned anywhere is par cooking.
