The CFB51 Cookbook

[utee94]

I have a small collection of cool wooden ones, that I don't ever use because I don't want to damage them.  So the plastic usually comes out...

Those are fabulous.  I have a weakness for wooden cutting boards.

i JUST picked up two planks this morning.  i'm telling y'all, i found THE source for precious woods... it's 40 minutes from me in Beaufort NC.. guy caters specifically to boat (yacht) builders in the area.  i dropped $360 with two pieces, which sounds expensive- but... a 14" x 10' x 8/4" walnut board with zero sapwood (making it black walnut)... and a 12" x 16' x 8/4" Sapele... I almost bought a 32" wide 3" thick 22' long board of straight grain Alaskan Cedar- and i 'still' may go back and get it.  i only had the 10' trailer with me and cutting that board to fit seemed sacrilege... 

between my bud's woodworking skills and my CNC, we can turn a lot of boards out.  




^which is more of a butchers block as it is end cut pieces. 










a cookbook the size of these or these the size of a cook book... as a package?  one may sell the other or the other sell the one?
but then again, the going rate for these are $225 currently, and the demand is growing.

Incredible work.  There is/was a furniture shop in Madison, IN that made beautiful inlaid dining room tables and they used their scrap to make cutting boards.  I have one of them.

Those are beautiful, @Drew4UTk !!! 

One day, when I have a bigger house and a lot more room in the kitchen, I want a really nice cutting board. Today I've got a Boos block, 18x30x1.5", which is certainly quite nice, and I like having a bigger board space to work with. But some day I'd like another level up...

My youngest made the board I use. It's very nice - made it before he went into the Marines, while still in HS. So it's about 10 years old now. And it's perfect.

those are great.  Nice job.

[huskerdinie]

Definitely makes the place smell better. Normally it smells like an old bowling alley in here.

And here I always thought it was the boy's locker room smell, lol.  Glad to know I can contribute something to the board, guys.  

[WhiskeyM]

Those are outstanding.  

I have a couple wood ones myself, but nothing to that caliber.

[huskerdinie]

I generally trim my own if I buy it at the grocery store or Costco. And yes, I use the trimmings for the grind. The grind normally includes brisket, short ribs and flank steak.

When I have trimmings from a tenderloin, I eliminate the short ribs.

If you really like burgers, get a grinder. They can be had for about $100 new. Probably cheaper on eBay or some such. Or, if you already have a Kitchenaid stand mixer, the grinder attachment is the way to go.

This looks like the one I have, but mine is a Waring.

My husband bought me the Kitchen Aid one for Christmas and I have a grinder that my family used when I was a child (way back in the 60's).  Not electric; it slides onto the edge of the table and is held there like a vise grip.  We always used it for left over roast and for grinding cranberries for relish.  We used to take turns grinding cause we would get worn out before finishing - kind of like our old wringer washing machine that my parents had up until I graduated from high school in 1973.  Sometimes the old stuff works better than that new fangled electrical gadget, lol.

cutting boards are down right beautiful

and those old hand grinders work, and give you a workout

[utee94]

My i s c & a aggie wife has the Kitchenaid, i've been thinking about getting the grinder for a while, so we could do our own hamburger.

[FearlessF]

grinding venison and other varmits you don't find in the grocery store is fun
