@ultimatechojian1159 4 жыл бұрын

Emmanuel Apusen I never said that he used a non stick pan, read my comment correctly and don’t jump to conclusions based on their own personal interpretation without a base. Now on the the claim, he said that he used a stainless steel pan, its a pretty good quality pan that doesn’t have non stick properties, but doesn’t have sticking properties either, look at the amount of oil he is using, with a stainless steel pan and that much oil, it’s essentially the same as a non stick pan, and with that even he claims that flipping isn’t the hardest part, it’s the sticking properties of the pan. So no it’s not impressive.

No not 10,000 times for swords. Average master you watch hits about 100. Only a few go to 1000 folds. Its not going to guarantee better steel and the myth is busted it makes it superior to other swords. Metals of todays smiths are comparable to strength and quality. Where it differs is the methods of forging. There way is not applicable to other materials used over time. Even modernized kitchen knife makers with equipment don’t often go past 50 folds. Were talking 500 dollar knives that in many cases are of other blacksmith quality.

I've just stumbled upon this video, because I searched for an easy Tamago receipe. But then I couldn't stop watching. Someone who is so deeply concentrated and focused in the process of making tamago, creates an own aesthetic in his moves and the way he looks. Everything looks like a coordinated orchestrated movement for such a "simple" thing. Really impressing. I'm really sad that portland is so far away. I would really like to see this in real and taste the sushi they create. It looks very interesting and aesthetic.
