Go to a restaurant supply store if you're not happy with what's
available in your grocery store.

Most all cookware and everything else today is made in China.. all you
can do is make your own, any monkey can fabricate a pizza cutter.

Buy yourself a top of the line made in USA toolroom quality lathe and
milling machine and learn how to use them and you'll never need to
settle for Chinese-Hunka-Junk again... otherwise you are screwed!

For about 200 Gs you can set up a small manufacturing plant in your
basement.
Or you can spend $2 on a Chinky pizza cutter. LOL-LOL

It looks EXACTLY like the Oxo Good Grips pizza wheel with the exception
the one in this picture has a white handle and the one I have has a
black handle.

Well, let's see if an old editor can make sense out of John's prose.

He's making centers, possibly raspberry flavored, possibly raspberry-caramel
flavored. He's poured the stuff out in a sheet to cool, and he needs to
cut it up so he can (I conjecture) coat it with something else (perhaps
chocolate). Once he's got this sticky stuff poured out into a fairly
thin sheet (maybe half an inch?), a pizza wheel is the best way to cut it.

I have no idea what a "sheeted out raspberry caramelt centers loaf" is.
Why is a pizza wheel required? Heck, pizza wheels aren't even required
for cutting *pizza*.

It's a candy making technique I've grown very fond of using because I can relatively quickly control the temp! I line baking sheets with plastic wrap, taping it on at the edges making it a plastic wrap lined baking tray! Then I can make hot centers like a chocolate ganache for Chocolate Truffles, etc. So for the Raspberry Caramels I warmed 4.2lbs of Peter's Caramel in a big plastic bowl in the microwave then stirred in 40 drops of raspberry flavor and 10 or 15 of red food color then poured it into a plastic wrapped baking pan: "sheeted out Raspberry Caramel centers loaf" then put it in the freezer overnight!

And right now I am doing the same with my Egg Nog Truffles and I have two thick earthenware glazed dinner plates in the freezer to transport hunks of Egg Nog Truffle Ganache to the dipping table!

You might be able to make your own using a hard drive platter and bearing - those are cool. I'll check that out.

Did you rub a tiny bit of vegetable oil all over the wheel before you
started cutting sticky stuff?

Now there's a good idea. One of the best cooking tips I learned over the
last few years was to wipe some oil around a measuring cup before
measuring out molasses. Instead of leaving a thick and hard to clean
film of molasses in the cup there is never more than one small dot, and
that wipes out easily. It may not sound like a big deal, but I usually
find molasses very hard to clean out of measuring cups, and since I am
usually using it only in small amounts, like 1/4 cup, I worry that the
amount left behind will leave me short in the recipe.

I'm normally doing that with bread. I use warm water and squirl the
smaller measure in that so it all comes out. Works for me.

Um, always buy TWO jars! DUH

I have a far better trick, no measuring cup to clean... a jar of
Grandma's molasses is 12 oz. Before even opening a new jar I mark off
the label at the half, quarter and eighth way points. I pour by
eyeball, and then when I let the jar sit a bit I can see what remains
and interpolate if I really need a drop more. I'm pretty much dead
on +/- a tsp.... and what does it matter if I'm a 1/4 ounce off either
way... it's cooking, not pharmacy. I do the same with most liquid
ingredients. More products should have their containers marked off,
not just sticks of butter. And it's very easy to measure out half a
can/bottle of an ingredient, pour until the level is at the top edge
and the bottom edge.... with a liquid simply make a mark at the liquid
level when standing upright, then pour till the liquid level is at the
mark and at the point where the bottm meets the side.... this is what
real cooks do when they need half a tin of an ingredient, especially
time saving with #10 cans. Bakers do likewise with ten pound bags of
flour when they only want five pounds, lay the bag on the bench and
whack at the half way point with the dough knife, flip up both halves
and there are two five pounders... any tiny bit falls out becomes
bench flour.

America's Test Kitchen recommends the OXO pizza wheel and I've got one
and I'm happy with it. It's the correct angle for the wrist and for
leverage.

Has nothing to do with greed. Has all to do with smart business
sense. Unskilled American workers want to be paid like they are
skilled., same as burger fippers want outrageous wages for a job that
shouldn't pay more than 50¢/hr. Very soon robots will be doing fast
food. Yoose want top pay learn to build robots. A robot parts
assembly line worker is at best worth $15/hr. Won't be too very long
robots will be duplicating themselves, for free!
The ONLY greed is from the no skill burger flippers.

Richard Cory Went Home Last Night and Put a Bullet Through His Head

This has to be one of the saddest and most inexplicable local stories of
recent memory: Yoli and Michael Amr, founders of Gumbos, Yolis
Jambalaya and Mama Roux, are now dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

This is a profound shame, as in each of their incarnations, they had the
best Cajun food I ever tasted (and this is from someone whos eaten at
K-Pauls in New Orleans).

I have trouble believing it was money troubles, since Mama Roux was
always packed when we went there. Maybe there were health issues.

Im at a loss. Sometimes people, even successful and apparently happy
people, do inexplicable things.
