About

Our Motto: You can never have too much great kitchen gear! Our Philosophy: If you have great equipment and great ingredients, with a little practice you can cook any dish in the world. At USK, we make recipes, review frying pans, deep fryers, knives, grain mills, gadgets, pots and pans, and anything else you might find in a high-end kitchen. We season carbon steel and cast iron, tell a few jokes, and occasionally cook something delicious. We really like brands like De Buyer, Falk, Matfer, Lodge, Smithey, Mauviel, Le Creuset, Staub, Breville, and others. Uncle Scott has a corollary to the Golden Rule, which he calls the Carbon Steel Rule: Never recommend that someone else buy a frying pan if you wouldn't buy it yourself. As such, he buys all of the products he reviews with his own money, no free review items are accepted for review. This keeps product reviews genuine and also means that Uncle Scott is out there hunting for bargains on great gear just like you are.

The sauce pan is a 4-quart All-Clad D3: https://amzn.to/4jC7Rzr The induction burner is a Breville Control Freak: https://breville.oie8.net/Xmy7xy Super Simple Pasta Tomato Sauce Recipe Ingredients 1/2 to one pound of dried pasta 1 supermarket container of small tomatoes, such as cherry or grape 1 small bunch fresh basil Extra virgin olive oil Parmigiana cheese, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste Steps Set a pot of water to boil. While water is heating, prepare your ingredients. Clean, wash, and peel as necessary. Grate your cheese. Slice or press your garlic. Slice the tomatoes in half (optional). Leave the basil until later. When the water is boiling, add salt. Salty as the sea. Add the pasta and set a time for when it will first be al dente. Bring a separate large pan up to heat and add olive oil. When hot, add the tomatoes. Salt, poke, and press the tomatoes as they cook and they will release their juices. Adjust salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. If the sauce starts to stick, thin it with some pasta water. Add the garlic. Optional: add the garlic before the tomatoes, but only if you are on your game and don't let it burn. Simmer for 8 - 9 minutes. Add the al dente pasta when ready directly to the sauce, and let it finish cooking for a minute or two in the sauce. Reserve a little pasta water in case the sauce needs thinning. Tear the fresh basil into small pieces and add. Add some of the grated cheese, reserving some for topping. Plate the pasta, add a few fresh basil pieces and cheese, and chow down! ----------------------------- 👍The Great Home Cooks Club👍 ----------------------------- For about the price of one fast food value meal you can join Uncle Scott's Great Home Cooks Club.
