    Hi Daisy, It is called a Channel Knife. I use a brand called Victorinox. Other brands may not work as well. I justed checked on Amazon and it was $23.00. You may be better off Googling it to get a better price as 23.00 is somewhat expensive. Before the pandemic, they were less than $10.00. Thank you for watching my video. 👍🏻 Be well

    Hi Melissa, The cabbage bowl definitely adds to the overall appearance of the platter. However, if you try this, please be careful as it is not so easy to do. When I was filming the video, I actually said to my cameraman, " do you want to see me fight with a cabbage?" I do thank you for watching my video. Be well

  • @CookingwithChefRich

    The knife that does the lines on the melon is called a channel knife. I personally recommend Victorinox channel knifes which you can get on Amazon for $23.00. There are other brands out.there which are less expensive. However, sometimes they do not work as well. Victorinox is the parent company of Swiss Army . Thank you so much for watching. Be well

    Hi Matthew, So I have actually changed how I do banana smoothies and would love to share it with you. To begin, the bananas need to be really ripe. The skin should be getting little brown spots. When they are at their ripest, Peel them, slice a half thick and then freeze them. I generally do 2 to 3 banananas together. When you freeze them, you want them so that they come apart and aren't frozen together. Once frozen, drop them in the blender with your favorite milk, add peant butter or anything else that you enjoy, and blend. If it's to thick , add a tiny bit more milk. It taste just like a banana milkshake. Very nutritious. And seriously delicious. I hope that you will try it. Thank you for watching. Be well

  • @CookingwithChefRich
    @CookingwithChefRich4 ай бұрын

    Hi Maria, You can use almost any size or shape platter you like ( or have, as long as they are flat. The platter in the picture is a silver plated platter, probably 20 inches long and 12 inches wide. This will feed 45 to 60 people comfortably. If you watch my other fruit videos, I use plastic, stainless steel, silver-plated, and even framed mirrors. The mirrors have a back on them because the weight of the fruit would break the mirror. The beautiful part of using different size platters is that each one comes out differently. Thank you so much for watching 👍🏻 If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to me. You can always email me @ [email protected]. Be well
