Twist Biodegradable Cleaning Cloths and Sponges: Another DailyGrommet feature available at KitchenArts. One reusable Twist Clean sponge cloth outlasts 17 rolls of paper toweling, and yet it’s made of natural fibers and is totally biodegradable when you’re done with it. Check the vid, we're partnering with Grommet to offer a pack of Twist products for $15, order them here.
KitchenArts owner Owen Mack appears today on DailyGrommet.com talking about the Mac Pro Santoku (one of our fave knives). Check it out! Click thru to the Grommet site for more info, or buy it here.
Another new item, another fan challenge: We need to test out the new wide Kuhn Rikon Corn Zipper. First person to bring an ear of corn into the store for us to zip gets to keep the Corn Zipper. (I know it's not really corn season yet...do your best) Ready, set....GO! The corn zipper retails for $11.95. It's available online here.
Just got in these sweet PolyFlax boards, made of recycled milk jugs and flax husks (!!) I need some feedback from a tester. Want a free board? Watch the video for details. UPDATE: The free board has been given away to John from JP. It took four hours for someone to watch this vid and come in the store. Cool. Enjoy the board John, we await your test notes...

Wow this site Supercook looks amazing. Supercook recommends recipes to you based on the ingredients in your kitchen. We here at KitchenArts (ok, I mean me...) don't know as much about recipes as we should, so that's why I want to be friends. Hey Supercook! Need some super gear? (Story via Mashable) Ok, ok, so I only watched the video above...anyway, off to check it out.
Today I met local Beacon Hill blogger Jessie of Besotted Gourmet. She started her blog a few months back, writing up recipes and taking pictures. Here's her recent post on Tuscan White Bean Soup with Kale. Jessie: You are invited to bring lunch by KitchenArts anytime. Just call ahead to make sure I'm in....
I just came across Bruce Tretter's site Gotta Eat, Can't Cook. He's a self-taught cook out in Westborough Mass. who has started up a cooking basics channel including video demonstrations and tips. In the vid above he talks about hand held or "draw through" knife sharpening. Good advice,and good chopping technique! The white sharpener in his vid is an EZ-Sharp, one of my favorites because ANYBODY can make almost any knife sharp in moments...but Bruce rightly warns against overuse of carbide sharpeners like the EZ-Sharp. They'll wear your knife down quickly if you're not sparing! Regardless, it's the best selling sharpener here at KitchenArts. We carry them in black only, $14.95.
I'm helping Narragansett Beer get out the word on a contest they're running: FREE Naragansett Beer for a YEAR if you win Narragansett's 2009 Father's Day tie design contest. Send a lo-res image of your design to Intern@NarragansettBeer.com by January 23, 2009 and keep your fingers crossed. Good luck! Those 'Gansetts will sure taste good this summer out by the grill...
My friend Neal writes the Turkey Sandwich Report, a blog about (wait for it...) turkey sandwiches. He's a real pro, and as you might imagine, this is his favorite time of year. In the above vid he demos the preferred technique for dealing with Thanksgiving leftovers. (PS Neal is the head marketing poo-bah at Flying Dog Ales. If you want a good beer to go with that sandwich, ya might drink a Flying Dog).
Another Boston based food show is Spices of Life hosted by author Nina Simonds and produced by vlogger Steve Garfield. The show describes itself as "an innovative project that engages lovers of food, good health, and fun through an on-line vlog and blog, and downloadable podcasts. The show features Nina Simonds, contributer to the New York Times, Oprah Magazine, and author of several best-selling cookbooks." Yeah, Nina comes into KitchenArts too...but I haven't seen Steve yet!
Boston Magazine has initiated a video series covering Best of Boston winners...and that means KitchenArts! Check out our video above, featuring yours truly.

Yeah...we've got comments turned off for now. Too much comment spam to deal with, and TypeKey sucks (TypeKey is Moveable Type'e authentication service). I gotta find a different service...In the meantime send me an email with your comment and I'll post it. I promise.
