I remember them mocking the supoon until they actually tried it and then immediately liking it. But they tested it with the things it was designed to do. The test of the spatulas was not well conceived.

@arabscamel1034 Ай бұрын

@@adair4256 Absolutely love my hexclad pans. They definitely have some stick spots with certain foods if you don't use enough oil but after a year, mine are still holding strong. I cook every single meal I eat also, around 2-3 times a day primarily with the hexclad. To me a good pan is one that you immediately take out over the rest and it just becomes a natural use. That's kinda where the hexclad landed. It's better than what I already had but you just gotta accept the not perfect non-stick surface for longevity.

I think you should do the cheese grotto long term test. Get some fancy cheeses, cut them in half, put one half each int he grotto and half in the fridge, wait three weeks, and compare. Maybe as part of a video about how to design the perfect cheese board or something.

Depends how long it stays “fresh” for. If I could buy a chunk of a very special aged Parmeggiano Reggiano and keep it “fresh”, I could see a place for it. Bring it out for a special occasion and then put it back. I see it no different to wine. Wine has the coravin system that lets you take some wine out without introducing oxygen, you can have a glass of a fantastic wine and then put it back on the shelf without disturbing it. I’m sceptical of whether it does actually work, and even if it does, how long does the cheese last? Can I keep it in there indefinitely or is the expiration date?

The cheese grotto is actually less about the tasting experience, and more about sorting the cheese in better conditions than an average fridge (statistically rather than throwing any shade on the fridge in question) so you can taste the cheese at its best for longer.

@helenparker1870 Ай бұрын

I looked at the cheese grotto website. Maximum temperature if stored in a room is 21 degrees celsius (70 fahrenheit), for a maximum time of one week . If you want to store the cheese for longer than a week you are supposed to put the grotto in the fridge. Also you are not supposed to store anything on top of the grotto in the fridge! At this point I knew it was firmly aimed at an american market, where houses are more likely to have air conditioning and large scale refrigerators that might be able to meet these specifications.

It would be cool if Ben could test the cheese grotto out for a while and give us an update and for him to talk about cheese for while. And I think that's part of the fun of the gift - the cheese lover would have a little toy and a new reason to check on their cheese. The fact that it collapses is actually great because it packs down when you're not using it, so maybe even someone in a small London flat could make room for it (but I just looked it up and you can put it in the fridge, assuming you're the type of person who has enough room to dedicate to cheese in there).

People have far more important relationships they need to focus on instead of obsessing over their sex partners, who themselves are fully grown, independent humans and have their own families and friends to care about.

I love cheese so much I not only bought something very similar to the cheese box from Ebbers, but I built my own aging cabinet that cost me around $500 USD to create. Being able to store cheese closer to room temperature just means you don't have to take it out of the fridge and wait for it to warm to room temp. That's the ideal cheese-eating temp, anyway. I would super appreciate that box, because the one I have is from a different company altogether and it's just about the same size. If I had two, or just one larger one, I'd be very happy indeed. I even make my own cheeses as well. I'm a cheese freak I guess you could say.

@katies3971 Ай бұрын

I work for an artisan cheese company. The Cheese Grotto I can see working in principle. I don't think it would work on most supermarket mass produced cheeses but if you regularly buy and enjoy a long aged artisan, cloth wrapped or brine washed cheese that costs you up to £60/kg I can see you enjoying this. You want to keep them in a slightly damp atmosphere (especially blues like roquefort) and maybe even encourage some extra microbial activity to enhance the flavours if its unpasteurised. So while the Cheese Grotto is not for everyone (and I have no idea if it works) I can see it being a brilliant gift for a proper cheese lover.

I can see the cheese grotto being highly appreciated by cheese lovers, the fridge really isn't the best to keep cheese. I absolutely love to let cheese age a bit and this is very practical... And it's not that I care more about cheese than I do about my family, it's because I care about my family that I want them to eat cheese in the best conditions 😊

The cheese box (if it works) would be great for buying an aged Parmesan or similarly hard cheese from a special (special to you or special vintage, etc.) year and keeping it for special occasions. Makes me think of the Coravin which is kind of the wine version of the cheese box, it allows you to have a glass of a special wine, and put it back on the shelf and come back to it in a year. Maybe you can’t have a whole bottle - or wheel of cheese - but you want it to remain as fresh as it was when you last sampled it. It’s very niche in purpose, but it would definitely have its place.. if it works. Everyone has different hobbies, I’m sure it wouldn’t be too hard to find a person that it could be a gift for.

As a french, cheese lover, mother of cheese lovers, I (imediatly) checked the Cheese Grotto website and I have just a single question : yes, but what size? I'm not sure that this is interesting for pasteurized cheeses but for artisanal cheeses (which live their own life), it can allow them to be preserved well. Imagine: you are in a Provencal market, and there is this seller of delicious goat cheese... but you say to yourself: "oh, I only take one, otherwise the others will end up all shriveled in my fridge"

I can imagine. I would really like to buy it for my brother but the price is a little steep.

Having worked on a dairy and made cheese at said dairy... And now planning on getting goats to start my own mini dairy where I will make various cheeses... That cheese box would make me very happy. Though I'll definitely need the larger one and if my plan goes ahead, I'll actually be investing in a cheese aging cabinet. But yes, as a cheesy... I'd be thrilled with that as a gift!

You're having a laugh with the cheese grotto. 69 POUNDS for a bit of birch and acrylic glass? What kind of wagyu leather is that little handle made from? It should've been £12-20 max

as a Swiss, i will say that the cheese thing could actually be really useful! Ideally we would store cheeses in an underground cellar, but since many people cannot have it anymore, that would be a great alternative. Especially if you set it up in a separate fridge. I am sure people from other countries (like Italy or France for ex.) would find it useful as well!

You really need to meet my daughter - she has a 'Cheese diary'. Yes, you read that right, a diary for all the cheese she consumes so that she knows how it tasted, when she had it, what it cost, whether to have it again - She even seperates the same cheese type by who makes it and what it was packaged in. She would LOVE the last gift!

If the cheese grotto works, I would love one. you always have that extremely strong cheese that is more like a herb and is used in small amounts, this would be brilliant to keep that fresh!

The cheese grotto is completely useless. If you have cheese laying around long enough to need something like that, just don't buy so much cheese. And at £69, you could buy lots of cheese.
