Hi Everyone, today I want to suggest something fun to you. Do you remember my last mini cookbook contest to celebrate the 1000th YouTube subscriber? It was amazing to have over 1000 subscribers then. Recently my YouTube channel went past 5000 subscribers. I’m very happy, and thanks go out to all my subscribers. So to celebrate it with you, I want to have an another contest. YA~ ๐

The Theme Poll Result
Hi Everyone! Thank you for participating the poll about my blog theme. Since the gap between new theme and old theme are not even close, we closed the poll. Actually, we had the feeling that most of you like older theme more than new one, and that’s one reason we started the poll. We respect all of your opinions, but we will follow majority. Out of 47 votes, 70% liked the old theme better; 26% liked the new theme better, and 4% were indifferent. We will always try to make better blog for you. Thanks for all of the votes. Have a great weekend. ๐

My New Rice Cooker
I got a gift from my husband. ASSA!!! It was a rice cooker, which is a very important thing in aeriskitchen. I love the color and design of this cooker. After I tried to use it several times, I decided to make this post for somebody who wants to buy a good rice cooker, since I like it very much. My husband researched rice cookers quite a bit before he decided to order this one. Reviews from people helped his decision. So, I will do same thing for you. hehe… The company name is Zojirushi and this model is “Neuro Fuzzy Rice Cooker & Warmer NS-ZCC10 5.5 Cups” It is made in Japan.
About Easy2CookTV.com
There is a site called “Easy2CookTV.com”. On Monday, I received an interesting message from them. I was picked as a chef of this week. Oh … “Chef”… I don’t think that I can be called a chef, but anyway I thought it was cool to share with you. ๐
They have many different kinds of cooking videos from different countries. They don’t have Korean category separately yet, but they will make it soon. If you love to watch cooking videos or cooking, it’s good site to check it out. They have also picked my “spicy fried pork” video as the recipe of the week. Please visit http://www.easy2cook.tv/

My Knife Collection: Rada Knives
When I got married and move to our new house in America, I got good stuff for my kitchen from my husband. That was this Rada knife set. It was amazing and cute that my husband collected these kitchen things before he married. Of course, it’s good for me. He bought these knives from a fund raiser because a coworker highly recommended them. As you can see in the picture, he got many different sets and pieces from Rada. You already saw me use my knives many times in my pictures and videos. Among the knives, my favorite one is the French Chef’s Knife which I can use for almost everything; chopping, peeling, mincing, cutting, slicing, etc. A really good point for these knives is the sharpener. I’ve never seen sharpening this easy and accurate before. The price is also good. So if you need to buy some knives and don’t know what to buy, I highly recommend these Rada knives.
Since I’ve received many questions about my knives – where I bought them, how they can buy them, etc. – I was thinking that someday I will post something about them on my blog or YouTube. The good news is, before they were only sold for fund raisers, but now you can buy them on Amazon.com. I will post the links here for you. I hope this information is helpful to you. Thanks!
The Sharpener
This should be a requirement for any Rada knife. The sharpening action is quick – you only need to pass the knife though the rings 2-3 times to make it as sharp as new again. |
Oak Block Set
This makes for a great set in the kitchen – it includes: French Chef (my favorite), “Old Fashioned” Butcher, Slicer, Carving Fork, Utility/Steak, Super Parer, Vegetable Peeler, and Regular Paring. |
||
Tomato Knife
This is one of my husband’s favorite knifes. This works especially well for easily slicing through tomato skin without making a mess of the soft tomato. |
Bagel Knife
This is my husband’s favorite knife. It works very well for cutting bagels, bread, rolls, English muffins, etc. |
||
French Chef’s Knife
This is my favorite knife. I use it for almost everything. This is the shape that Koreans usually use for cooking. |
Starter Set
This is a great set for starting your Rada collection, since it is only a couple knives and it has a sharpener in it. You can try them out to see if you like them without much expense. |
You can see the whole collection in my Amazon kitchen shop collection – click here.
