Buy Wusthof Gourmet Offset Slotted Spatula, 6-1/2-Inch

CUSTOMER REVIEW



While this spatula is shaped and traditionally used to turn fish filets, I've found it to be a good general purpose spatula including for folding omelets. The metal has just the right balance of flex but yet is stiff enough to hold up to heavy meats without bending. The angled and wide shape of the tip plus the length of the spatula all works to make this a better metal spatula than many of the other spatulas I own including the Rosle 12.6" Perforated Angled Spatula.



So far I've used it for cooking omelets, chicken breasts, scallops, and even salmon fillets and this spatula handled every task well with no problems.



PROS:

About the right balance and feel in one's hands making it comfortable to use.

The angled and thin metal blade has the right amount of stiffness and flex to get underneath whatever food you need to turn. The wider tip provides more area for supporting your food item.



CONS:

The plastic handle is not heat resistant (will melt slightly if left on a hot pan).

The spatula does not have a full tang which could add slightly better balance and justify the cost.

Yeah, it is expensive. But I got mine when the Amazon price was about what Cooks Illustrated listed as the cost.

It is designed for a right-handed cook because of the angle of the blade makes it awkward for left-handed cooks. So if you are left handed you may want to consider the Rosle spatula Rosle 12.6" Perforated Angled Spatula.

Buy DEBBIE MEYER'S Kake-Kut'r Trio - Wood Handles

CUSTOMER REVIEW



These things are all kinds of genius! I am an Executive Assistant. Cutting up cakes for Birthdays, retirements, holidays, etc is practically one of my job responsiblities. When I used to cut with a knife, it was a slow and messy process. Seemed you couldn't cut fast enough, and everyone was waiting for a piece. You were trying to get it on the plate, without getting your fingers on it, or worse dropping it icing side down! Then I bought this Kake Kut'r, and it has revolutionized my Cake Slinging in the office. And here's the thing: every time I use it in front of my group, I get all kinds of comments on how cool it is, and people want to know where I got it. Debbie REALLY needs to try harder to get these marketed in a more mainstream way, because I am telling you there would be a ton of interest. Most people just don't know such a tool even exists.

Buy Victorinox Cutlery 6-Inch Curved Boning Knife, Black Fibrox Handle

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Having used a boning knife for years when mine suddenly disappeared....I think the Sig used it in the garden (ugh!) I decided to go with this one with the curved blade.



Many people tried to talk me out of this design but I had never been that comfortable with the other style & for this price I thought I'd give it a shot.



I'm glad I did.



Boning is a snap....but I like it best for removing "silver skin" on meat.

The textured grip is a great idea. (My old Henckles had the slipery handle.)



I can't find anything NOT to likeabout this knife.



The other day I noticed my butcher using a curved boning knife & asked him about it. He said that of the 6 butchers working at the shop about half like the curved & the other half like the straight.



So it's just a matter of preference. I really like this one better.

Buy Kitchen Collection White Knives Medium Weight 400Cs

CUSTOMER REVIEW



At 2 cents a knife you can't really be expecting particularly sturdy knives, and an item description of "light weight knives" might be more more realistic, but if you want a large quantity of cheap throwaway plastic knives for a picnic or a party, these will do. Spread mayonnaise on a sandwich? These'll do the job. Cut open an English muffin and spread whipped margarine on it? Sure, if you're careful. Cut up butter? Not quite up to the task. Cut up a pork chop? Nope, not strong enough. So figure out what you're looking for, and then decide accordingly.

Buy Rada Cutlery W204 Utility/Steak Knife with Stainless Steel Resin Handle

CUSTOMER REVIEW



We were given a set of 3 knives 30 years ago at our wedding shower. I never knew the brand name of the knives until I saw a flyer in the mail advertising a knife that looked remarkably like what we received so many years ago. So on a whim, I went to Amazon (my go-to online store) and searched this knife. Told my husband I was going to order one and see if it could possibly be the same knife (I doubted it, but tried anyway). Lo and behold, it was the same knife when I opened the box and compared my 30 year old knife to the brand new knife. My husband just sharpened for the FIRST time the original knife for me after 30 years of use.

Buy Global GS-5 - 5 1/2 inch, 14cm Vegetable Knife

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I have 10 Global knives covering a wide range. I bought each individually over the course of several years and put quite a bit of thought into each purchase to ensure that it met a need and that the Global knife was the best designed knife of its kind (usually the case which is why I own more Global knives than other kinds). Despite my broad range of choice I find myself pulling the 5.5" vegetable knife off the wall more than all others. I'm a sharpening fanatic and this knife is unbelievable - I can effortlessly dry shave hair off my arm (it will grow back). I believe it's my most frequent choice because the size is just right for almost any chopping job - vegtables, fruit, meats, breads (you don't need a bread knife if your regular knife is insanely sharp), sandwiches and even some cheeses. The fact that the knife is blunt nosed initially did not attract me to it but the broad side of the knife is usefull for picking up food or spreading and makes the knive a bit less intimidating. The knife is ultra light in weight and the triangular handle, a unique design to Global knives, fits so well in your hand that I wonder why Global is the only company to make such a handle. I personally have not experienced the slipping problem that another reviewer has. The handle has a notch just before the blade so you finger is not even close to the cutting edge - it is a very safe design. I have other knives that are "nicer" in some respects but I don't use them as much and if I had to give away all my knives but one this would be the one I would keep.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



We are in low-carb heaven, enjoying our noodled veggies. The only drawback with this spiralizer is that there were no instructions included. In my excitement to try it, I placed a carrot alongside the blade, trying to turn it, to no avail. My husband came along and showed me how to use it, just like a pencil in a pencil-sharpener, and presto!! - perfect and delicious strands of of fresh vegetables. Goodbye spaghetti!

This is my second board. I already had the smaller one and love it just as much! Cleans easy but I do have to say it also stains easy. Most of the time the dishwasher can get the stains out.

CUSTOMER REVIEW



Ok let me start by letting you know that I've used a few of these before. Chicochef is definitely the best one I've used.



The main reason is when twisting the spiralizer it's not as rigid as the others, it turns a lot more smoothly. Cutting vegetables is so simple.



Then there's the essential cleaning after. It comes with a small brush which actually fits the product and works.



It is for these reasons I'd recommend this spiralizer over the others.

Buy J.A. HENCKELS INTERNATIONAL Kitchen Elements 3-pc Paring Knife Set, Black

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I purchased this three piece paring knife set in addition to a more expensive Henckels paring knife J.A. Henckels Twin Four Star 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless Steel Paring Knife. This set is good quality. Stamped on the blades are the words "German Stainless Steel" and "Made in China". They have a good sharp edge and a textured, shaped plastic handle that provides a good grip. The package says that the knives are "stamped one-piece blade construction for strength and durability". It also says that the handles are "fully closed polypropylene", "breakproof, dishwasher safe, and hygienic." They are lightweight and have a nice finish on the blades.

Product Description

J.A. Henckels International Paring Knives are perfectly designed for smaller kitchen tasks such as peeling or coring vegetables and fruits. 3-pc set includes: 3.5-inch paring knife, 3-inch vegetable knife and a 2-inch peeling knife. Lifetime limited manufacturer warranty. Dishwasher safe.






CUSTOMER REVIEW



Great knives for the price of popular Henckels brand. Made with German steel and fabricated in China. I was surprised for the low price for this pair until I received them which is thinner than what I expected. I love this design where the blades have hollow spots which create air gaps, this make it easier to slice solid foods like cheese and hams. They do not stick as much as straight smooth steel blades. The 3-rivet hilt feels solid, smooth, and nicely detailed. Sharp.



(The word Santoku refers to a general-purpose knife that originated from Japan. It is a chef knife primarily used for dicing, slicing, and mincing; designed with the weights of the blade and the handle to be equally balanced.)

Buy Fat Daddio's 14-Inch Cake Slicer / Bread Knife

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I expected something light that would be hefty enough to get through a cake. Instead this knife is hefty enough for bread.



I've been baking bread in my dutch oven and it gets a nice thick crust. This knife cuts through it easily and has a long stroke to get through my biggest loaves.

Buy Global G-5 - 7 inch, 18cm Vegetable Knife

CUSTOMER REVIEW



I work in a banquet kitchen that produces high class cuisine on a very large scale. When it comes to chef's knives, I work alongside every brand of knife imaginable. I see a lot of Shuns, Henkels, Ken Onions, Globals, and one guy even sports his James Beard limited edition chef's knife. But the funny thing is, when it comes to an alternate knife for more precise cuts where perfection is mandatory, this is the knife in everyone's kit. I always have to be careful where I lay my knife so that no one confuses it as theirs, but it just goes to show you how great of a knife this is. The shape of the knife allows you to line up the food for a perfectly straight cut that is made simple with the thin design and ultra sharp, low maintenance blade. It definitely shouldn't be the first knife for your collection as it's not the best choice for the variety of tasks commonly associated with a chef's knife, but it sure makes a remarkable addition to any set.

Buy Shun TDM0722 Premier Serrated Utility Knife, 6-1/2-Inch

CUSTOMER REVIEW



BOTTOM LINE

Shun Premier Knives are made with the same technique as traditional samurai swords. After months of moderate use on the toughest items, my Shun Premier knives haven't dulled, chipped, scratched, or otherwise marred their initial perfect finish. I know what I want daily in the kitchen and by my side in the Zombie apocalypse. However, consider looking for a better price elsewhere.



SHARPNESS AND STRENGTH

As an example of their sharpness, I have used other Shun Premier knives for cutting through the toughest things, like pineapple. The outside of a pineapple is as hard as wood, and my Santoku does it with only gentle application of force - no sawing required. After months of use on only the tough stuff (I use different knives for for different things), this knife still hasn't dulled noticeably. Notice, this knife is for different uses, but I mention the pineapple as an example of how sharp Shun knives are generally.



BEAUTY

This knife is a thing of beauty - it has a beautiful wooden finish on the handle, and the knife has this pretty blotted ink look, referred to in the description as Damascus. I love to show off my knives to all of my friends.



SHARPENING

Shun allows you to sharpen their knives easily by sending it into a discounted, professional service center for professional sharpening and restoration. The price is cheap (25% off of $3 per inch of sharpening). Just google "Shun Sharpening."

I won't risk sharpening my knife at home because I don't know how to properly use a whetstone. I have a Zwilling J.A. Henckels Twin Sharp Duo Knife Sharpener for use on my cheaper knives, but the instructions on the Shun recommend you don't use that kind of sharpener, since this knife is sharpened to a different degree than European knives.



PRICE

Surprisingly, the price on Amazon is not the best price I've seen for the blade. You may want to check your local high-end home-goods or kitchen-goods store like Crate and Barrel. Still, I would consider ordering from Amazon, simply because shipping to my door is so convenient.



ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE

I'm so impressed with my Shun Premier Line's ability to cut through poultry, ligaments and all, that I'm already planning on how to adapt my knife for the zombie apocalypse. Considering these things are made like samurai swords, I'm confident I'll be more well-equipped than my regular knife wielding buddies when we're out of bullets and the zombies are inevitably bearing down upon us.
