It was great to see you at the first class of the year. It is not only the first after a long, quarantine-induced break, but also the first time on the topic of knives.
We have had several knives in the grilliai.lt range for a long time. These are the world's most famous grill manufacturers NAPOLEON and WEBER Chef's knives are available for barbecue fans. However, as the culture of grilling and cooking expanded, we saw that the need to have good, quality, sharp tools for cooking also increased significantly.
After long negotiations, we became a German company in 2019 OIL, and 2020 - Dutch STYLE DE VIE Authentique distributors in Lithuania. Online and in a physical store we could offer knives of various quality, parameters, shapes and designs. Still, the saying is true: the further into the forest, the more... The topic of knives is inexhaustible once you start to delve into it! And what's better, if not a die-hard enthusiast can tell you about it?
We invited a man from Kaunas to conduct the lesson and answer all the questions Rimantas Lukoševičius. Rimantas has almost 20 years of managerial and sharpening experience with professional barber scissors, and somewhat less with knives and their sharpening. In recent years, he began to concentrate on his old passion - professional knife sharpening.
Some time ago, just getting acquainted with I love it, a person who likes, and most importantly - knows his craft, there was no doubt that the information will be presented in a clear, specific, detailed and interesting way. And so it was!
Interviewed by a professional event host Eastern Masur, Rimant for almost 1.5 hours he talked about various subtleties related to knives. The listeners heard the most important criteria for choosing a good, high-quality, long-lasting sharp knife. There are many of them, both measurable, tangible and felt.
One of the most interesting topics in the lesson is the shape of knives. The audience was told how each of them differs. Parts from guests to class I'm in love or nakiri there were only Japanese sounding words. And where are the other names of knife shapes! After all, each of them was invented for a reason. Alone STYLE DE VIE Authentique OLIVE FORGED there are at least 11 of them in the collection.
A workshop about knives is impossible without mentioning the composition of metals, names, hardness, Rockwell scale, lengths and handle shape and material...
Rimant told where to store knives safely, how to maintain them, what to cut on. Griliai.lt There are many options to choose from in the store. For storage - and magnetic wooden strips, attached to the wall, and knife racks, and leather cases; for cutting: acacia tables or even special materials flexible tables. It's good to know what to choose! It also depends on how long your knife will stay sharp.
Of course, we could not touch the topic of sharpening - For Rimant the most interesting, and especially relevant for those present. How to sharpen, what tools to use, what angle to hold dash, how not to damage it while sharpening, what to do if it is damaged,... This is only a small part of the whole story.
How about without superstitions? After all, many people are sincerely convinced that it is impossible to give a knife as a gift. But after all, cooking without it is hardly possible, and very few can enjoy really sharp knives in the kitchen. So what to do? We talked about that too.
In order to better absorb the theory heard in the lesson, we invited you to touch, hold, feel STYLE DE VIE Authentique and OIL knives, see the differences in their shapes and materials, try to cut paper and check the sharpness of the knives.
The delicious part of the event took place outside: if you arrived earlier, you could see what the latest Italian automatic barbecues look like. TECNOROAST 20 and make sure it's easier to grill than it's simply impossible with them!
And on the other, a grill suitable for travel, tourism, and even for events COBB Premier we fried chicken breasts. Placed on SMOKEY OLIVE WOOD olive tables, smoked with olive chips, they impressed everyone!
And sure enough, the picture doesn't lie: COBB the grill was placed on a plastic table covered with a tablecloth for the entire cooking time. First timers COBB the grill was surprised - and for good reason: both the table and the tablecloth remained intact.
Once again, we thank everyone who came to eat, listen and ask questions. Special thanks to the knife ace Rimanta Lukoševičius and the host of the event Rytsia Mazur.
Thanks for the great feedback about the event! We will repeat! Stay tuned!
