Knife Aid Sharpens Your Knives For You (and You Don’t Have to Leave Home)

In this day and age, it should be no surprise that you can find a way to do or acquire just about anything without leaving the comforts of your home. Going to places like groceries stores or pharmacies is so 2010 thanks to the myriad subscription boxes, delivery services and, oh yeah, a little thing called Amazon. Now, a new company has found a way to eliminate another reason to leave the house, needing to get your knives sharpened. (A pretty sharp idea, if you ask us.)

Knife Aid is a new service that makes knife sharpening accessible wherever you are. If you don’t have a high-end knife store in your town (we can’t all be as lucky as Portland to have Portland Knife House located in town), or you just don’t want to do it yourself (because who has time in this day and age?), Knife Aid is there for you.

Knife Aid How the service works

The way Knife Aid works is simple:

  • First, you place your order online. Once that’s done, you’ll receive a secure shipping envelope, which contains protective sleeves for the knives and guarantees safe shipping.
  • Next, you drop your knives in the package and put in in the mailbox for pick up the next day.
  • Knife Aid then sharpens your knives in one day and sends them back, ready for whatever you are about to cut up.

It’s as simple as that. No fuss, no muss, and no chance that you’ll slice your hand open by sharpening the blade the wrong way (or ruining the blade by using that sub-par knife sharpener you picked up at Target that one time in college).

The price, too is good at just $49 for four knives. That includes postage as well as the insurance on your knives while they are not in your house.

Sounds exciting, but don’t have any knives to get sharpened? You can check out this video for how to pick out a knife as well as this list for the knives you should have in your house.

Don’t muddle mint for your next mojito — do this instead
There are better alternatives to muddling

If you’re a cocktail fan (even if you simply order them at a bar instead of making them at home), you’re probably well aware of the act of muddling. It’s a popular way to extract flavor, and it’s a technique that is used in drinks like the classic Old Fashioned, the Mojito, and many more. But what exactly is muddling? Also, perhaps you’re just better off doing something else instead to get that much-needed flavor.
What is a muddler?

There are a lot of tools that are extremely important to bartenders. This includes a shaker, strainer, bar spoon, jigger, and a muddler. Today, we’re most interested in the latter.

Don’t ruin your meal: This is how long to let steak rest
Just put the steak down and walk away.
Steak on a cutting board

There are many factors that go into cooking a delicious steak. After all, there are a lot of things to consider—a steak's cut, thickness, preferred cooking method, how to season your steak, and many other culinary tidbits. Arguably, the most important step of all, though, has nothing to do with seasoning or searing but simply leaving the steak alone.

If you've ever prematurely sliced into a cooked steak and been met with a pink pool of juices all over your cutting board, you've learned the hard way the importance of resting steak. The science behind this is actually quite interesting. Steaks, like everything else, are comprised of many, many tiny cells. These steak cells are each filled with delicious juices. When steak is cooked, these cells contract and run for an easy means of escape - the steak's cooler center. There, they pool together and wait out the heat. If a steak is cut in this step of the process, all of those beautiful juices will immediately run out all over your cutting board instead of staying inside the meat where it belongs. However, when given the chance to rest, those cells will revert back to their original shape and make their way back to their original places, evenly distributing throughout the steak. The simple step of waiting a few minutes before slicing makes the difference between a dry and flavorless steak and a juicy, succulent, tender one.
