Do you own one? I was wondering how many litres do you think they'd do?

I don't own one but as Chewy says, at that price for that size, its definitely a no brainer.

Oops apologies, just remembered this thread is supposed to be about base. 

It is, he's chopping his onions up for the base.

I found the same problem with the Anysharp as you did to be honest. Fortunately I just bought it to use on the cheap knives at work and also our cook finds it easy to use as it sticks to the bench.. 

@ goncalo

I wouldn't use it at home on my kniives and especially on one that cost around

.......I bought this which arrived today  ......

Let me know what you think. I bought one for work and I think they are a bit rough. I still prefer to give my knifes a whiz up on the steel.

I find the Wusthof santoku much better for this task than the chefs knife, the latter being thicker and heavier.  in fact I use it for all chopping now.

Nice, I think if I had one of those, I would have to lock it in a safe away from the rest of my family who really just don't understand.

And @ Les, I know its not the knife my friend but it feels good   ;D  ;D

Although they don't do the 12 litre, they seem to get good reviews on Amazon

I can't help but think that this would lend itself to a traditional style Rogan Josh, based on my initial thoughts of a spicy version of ossu bucco.

Keep talking like that Malc 

Could be a work supper experiment.

I've had a good Google and according to one site, its not a meat they would use in general. As it was stacked up at the butchers counter, I thought I might be missing a treat. Would be grateful if something turned up Phil. I'll also dig my older less used books out and see if i can find something. If not, its back to the Chilli and Ginger which I can heartily recommend and cooks well in a slow cooker.

Many thanks !

And, even I could make that (I think)  ;D

That's fast guitar playing goncalo. I'm always impressed by the gorgeous Yuja Wang doing this.
