From the counter
Notes from the bench
Four things we repeat when someone from a damp kitchen on this side of the river asks why the steel went orange, why the sheet twisted, why the spoon split, or why the scraper rusted.
-
Rust after a wet week on Flat Street
Carbon steel, shut windows, and the orange blush we see after the coats have been dripping by the stove.
-
A sheet pan on a Brattleboro Sunday
Why a half sheet twists in a cold sink, and why five warped ones already lean on our back wall.
-
A maple spoon in brook damp
Split necks, mineral oil, and the wet jar beside a stove when the Whetstone is high.
-
A bench scraper on a cold board
Stainless versus carbon, a burr you should not test on a thumb, and the rust ring by the sink.
