I have a bagel cutter that came from Costco that is wonderful. I can also use it to cut their ceabata bread, but I still like the idea of your wide knife since I am a peanut butter lover. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lynn I" <lynnskyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi! We have a restaurant supplier here, and one of the most useful purchases I ever made is something called a sandwich spreader. It looks like a wider knife, and comes either with a serrated edge or a smooth one. It's such a great multi-purpose tool. I use it for cutting bagels or English muffins.Also, it works great for spreading things like peanut butter. Since it's somuch wider than a knife blade, it makes it much easier to spread without digging into the bread. *smile* Blessings.

I liked cookwarestores. I remember visiting Williams-Sonoma. It's amazing what is there. I remember a metal container where you could put olive oil and it had a pour spout. I also liked those little metal sauce whisks. One thing I can tell you is that chefs will spend money on utensils and cookware because cheap stuff may not always be of good quality. I suppose what you want is functionality, durability, and ease of use. I've heard it said that chefs will spend a lot of money, for instance, on knives. Are they comfortable when held in the hand? Are they light or heavy enough for the purpose? Another consideration for cookware is how you wish heat to be conducted. Iremember reading about that in Julia Child's book The Way to Cook.

What are they made of? Solid gold? That's ridiculous. I don't disbelieve what you say, it's just mind-boggling that cookware should cost that much.Wow, you're right about that. Guess I'll have to stick with my old standby aluminum pots and pans. Hey, the food's not bad. If it cooks don't fix it. Besides, solid gold cookware would spoil real fast. The melting temperature of gold is quite low, and solid gold is kinda soft so if you used a spatula or spoon on 'em, you'd get scratches and dings. Nope, solid gold cookware isn't for me. <smiling> Ann P. -- Ann K.
