yeah, this method is as simple as can be, and is easily customized. my results– especially with summer fruit vinegars– have been great so far.

and recently i found a very simple hand-held mandoline slicer with a ceramic blade. it’s aces, and only about $15 from my local health food store. perfect for super-thin ginger or daikon or sunchokes or whatever you’re pickling.

Chuck, I got those little pots at the Crate and Barrel store on 4th Street in Berkeley, which I think is an outlet, not a proper C&B. They were absurdly cheap, like seven bucks each.

Cast iron is cool, I’m using my Grandmother’s pan passed through my Mother, probably from 1920-30 vintage.
I would like to know where you bought the little pots with the handles, look like they would be good for Jigae

I bought my slicer with ceramic cutter, made by Kyocera at Wiliams-Sonoma
