17+ hour, 1+ min ago (325+ words) As a home cook, I spent most of my life using dull, cheap knives. It wasn't until I started testing chef's knives earlier this year that I realized how important it is to invest a little bit in the tool you'll most likely be using every day for years (or even decades if you keep up with maintenance). I didn't realize that using a cheap, very dull knife as my daily driver was slowing down my cooking process, making less effective cuts, and even putting me at risk of injury, as the blade was dull and caused me to apply more pressure (which in turn made things more dangerous). I'm a believer in the importance of investing in A Good-Ass Knife. Plus, they make seriously wonderful presents. Every kitchen (and home chef) needs a solid chef's knife to slice, dice,…...

It's not the only sale: Balsam Hill's other trees are up to 50% off. Balsam Hill's other trees are up to 50% off right now.

1+ day, 14+ hour ago (183+ words) Enter the Rocco, which will hold your Gamay at a perfect 58 degrees on a lower shelf while holding your Stella Artois at a perfect 38 degrees a few shelves below. (I used a wireless thermometer to check the temperatures on various shelves; they were dead-on.) Did I mention it's gorgeous? In a world of wine fridges that look like Holiday Inn minibars and mini gridges that look like they came out of a dorm, the design-forward Rocco has a distinctive look that's also neutral enough to fit into rooms with midcentury and modern furniture. And did I mention it's $500 off for the next 5ish hours? With, as of publication time, free shipping. What you do get with the Rocco is a very good-looking spot to store drinks behind a triple-thick layer of reeded glass, a choice of several eye-catching colors, and the…...

Video quality is obviously paramount for a security camera, and Arlo's Pro 5S records at up to 2K resolution. The inclusion of HDR ensures your video doesn't look blown out when there's a light source in frame. The wide 160-degree field of view takes in the whole scene. When darkness falls, you have a choice of color night vision or a motion-activated spotlight.

The Anker Laptop Power Bank is a beast, with a generous 25,000-mAh capacity. That's enough power to charge most phones more than four times over, but you don't need to worry about the power bank rules for flights, because it's below the limit. With a whopping 165-watt output, it can easily charge two or more devices at once (the limit for a single gadget connected via USB-C is 100 watts). I like the rounded edges, making it comfortable to handle, and the retractable, flat, 2.3-foot USB-C cable on the top ensures you can always charge your devices, even if you forget to pack any USB-C cables. There's also a very durable, braided, 1-foot USB-C cable…...

These PJs blend 95 percent bamboo viscose with 5 percent spandex, resulting in a stretchy, soft, and cool-feeling garment.
