Hey Sam, thanks for the tips on sharpening knives. I have a knife related question, not sure if it's your area of expertise though but thought I would give it a shot. When you've bought a set of lovely sharp and I might add expensive knives, how do you stop your deranged girlfriend and her simpleton daughter from using the new sharp expensive knives for opening pakets of food, cutting labels out of clothes and one time skinning a sausage roll because she didn't want the meat bit (I know this doesn't harm the knife but still. c'mon) Oh and then carelessly tossing the knives into the sink with all the other shit, or worse just leaving them out dirty on the work surface in the kitchen. Please send me a new STCG Nakuri knife. I promise not to use it on my family. PS, Max! keep being a prick to your dad, it's great.

Oh dear lord. Sam. sorry but you have NO IDEA how to use a whetstone. and a misunderstanding of what the honing steel actually is for and does. Been sharpening knives for 40+ years kid--so my best comment is you should delete this video embarrassment. It is like watching someone who has no idea of physics trying to come off as some expert and explain Einstein's theories. you would have been better to refer to another video. Those idiot gadgets of lazy and silly pull-thru knife toys are TERRIBLE for most knives in the long term especially if the degree is incorrect. The ruin blades and should be left for only the cheapest pieces of shit knives. Besides - most likely all of your knives you bought and the ones you sell were sharpened on a belt sharpening system.

On another note, I have been making this for years and it has become somewhat legendary in my family. A grilled peanut butter and whipped honey sandwich. The twist is you butter and grill just one side of the sliced sourdough bread. Once golden brown, (I make my own honey roasted peanut butter) spread that on the hot grilled side add the honey, close the sandwich with the grill side facing the center of the sandwich. Let stand and later slice and serve. You get the crunch factor of the grill sourdough but none of the damage to the roof of your mouth. The same grilling technique can be applied to a BLTA or other similar sandwiches. Try it, I guarantee a roast beef sandwich done this way with creamy horseradish aoley will be worth the try.

The fact that you didn't went to culinary school makes your show much more authentic and the learning process appealing, since some chefs that have the knowledge just automatically assume that you know the techniques and don't indicate it.
Furthermore you use simple guidelines with rather easy to get ingredients which in the end was responsible that i also try my luck in the kitchen, because you with someone else inspired me to have the courage to actually begin to cook for myself; thank you for this!
I learned from watching you, that there are no mistakes, just happy little accidents, as a famous painter once said.
Also: something not nice about max! (nah, he does great camera work and is a substantial addition to your show)

Greetings from down in the South Pacific! I am no great Chef, I can hardly bring water to the boil, but after watching a few of your Videos I feel way more confident. So thank you for sharing. I also never went to culinary school for what its worth but we have enjoyed your videos on how to cook. My fussy children like your food. OMG do you know how hard that is to do. One point to note, some of the bloody ingredients are very American centric and had to source. :-) Thank the stars we live in a food and wine rich country called New Zealand and are good at improvising! Thanks for the entertainment and the recipes, please keep us well fed and smiling in these tough times. #samthecookingguyrules #Covidpoundswhocares #somefatisgood

Giving away knives, eh? Let's see, something bad about Max and something good about Sam. We'll start with Max. He's a Millennial. Max, I promise you, once you stop complaining and get a real job, you'll stop wetting the bed. Sam, much Like a NASCAR fan waiting and watching for a good crash, I've been watching you since the Cox days waiting for a fingertip to be left behind on the cutting board. It hasn't happen yet, so until it does I'll just keep watching and trying your recipes. They seem to turn out pretty good. Now if I could only cut a damn tomato.

Watching your show from the Congo is what keeps my humour going out here. Just ordered a new Sam The Cooking Guy knife to be sent home in Australia, but delivery only August. Will have to keep my wife away from it until I get home, she will; put it in the dishwasher, cut on the stone bench top, use it to open a beer, use it as a spatula and every other conceivable use under the sun too f#%k it up. Please post it with a note not for use by wife. Love your show keep the good content going.

I started watching your video B. C. (Before Covid-19. And what stands out the most about your videos is that you are a real person. I like the fact that you make mistakes. You cut yourself you burn yourself. You play with the food occasionally a shell in the eggs. And props to Max for not editing any of it out. And who cares that you f swear. That just means you're passionate about your s. I've

Hello SAM,
I recently moved out of my parents house together with my girlfriend. We bought an awesome Zwilling knife block, but we're absolutely missing the big bad boy. She's Asian so she really knows how to utilize the huge blade especially when cutting pork. Oh what am I saying, I'll use it for every little thing if you do decide to pick me as a lucky winner.
Stay safe!
