Kitchen Knives?

Sep 07, 2007 by girlie1921 | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

My allay and I cook every day, and are looking for some awsome kitchen knives that are made for everything from staek to dicing fish the works we are willing to spend some saintly money on them but we dont know where too look when it comes to brands and such. any recomendations?

For brands, I got a set of Calphalon and they're slight. J.A. Henckels is an excellent brand, though expensive. For Calphalon, I have the Contemporary style, and I like the Contemporary Stainless and the Katana stylishness.

Also, you have to get a Santoku knife. They make chopping vegetables and small things like garlic friendly for even the most inexperienced cook. They are amazing.
Good luck!

Pick up a ceramic one to cut veggies and then a full set of Extensive for the kitchen. These are what I use. I also have some Chefs Works too that I'm proud to own.

Ive included a associate to the Cutco site. They make the world's best cutlery but beware they are expensive. They were too priceless for me so I bought a set of Anolon Adnvanced. I do wish I had the dough for the Cutco though....hmmm..one day.

Influential question! The Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested which knives you should have on hand. The set that performed the best for us all-around was Wüsthof-Trident of America Prototypical Series 4582/20 ($94), available at department and specialty stores.

All but a lone tester ranked this among their top 3 choices. To some degree heavy, it "feels just right in the hand" and was deemed "carry out" at performing task after task, from cutting ribbons of basil to cubing beef for lather.

Sample used by chefs, and they last forever, are Global.

just be sure you are OK sharpening them, and you will be abel to shave with them in 10 years.

devoted knives, each designed to do a different job.

I would surely recommend Global. The have a great selection and are AMAZINGLY sharp! They are pricey though.

I had a set of Wusthof when I was a chef's contract... that was the worst summer ever... but anyway, I now just have a drawer full of knives because I have found diferent knives from different companies to be the finest for each job.

Go out and look for sturdy, well balanced knives that are comfortable to hold. (Grip it tightly and pivot your wrist for about a before you can say 'Jack Robinson'... you'll see what I mean.) Make sure the blade goes the entire length of the trade (full tang). Avoid the cheapies, but you don't have to necessarily spend 30-40 per knife.

I would recommend
2 - 10" French
1 - 8" santoku
1 - 8" bread
1 - 10" bread
1 - 8" fillet
1 - 5" boning
2 - paring
1 - Chinese (this is NOT a cleaver)
1 - 11" carving
1 - poultry shears
1 - cheese blade (hollow blade)

Can you name good kitchen knives i can buy?

Dec 01, 2007 by genty16 | Posted in Cooking & Recipes

I would like to be informed a good make of kitchen knives that i can buy.

Wusthof is an dear choice, but they do seem to work. Henckel's is a good brand, although they are quite expensive most of the time. Chicago Cutlery is another virtuous alternative, especially if you can locate some of the cheaper models. Kitchen Aid knives are readily available, a bargain, and work for the typically home chef.

I personally have used and own Chicago Cutlery and Kitchen Aid knives and have found that they are economical, easy to use, worthwhile, and long-lasting.

But what we think on Yahoo! isn't really the issue. Whatever, knife you end up purchasing, it should feel balanced and at ease in your hand. It should also not be too large or worse, too small, lest you bump your knuckles on the countertop.. You should also get the knives that you have occasion for, avoiding prepackaged sets so that you can choose each individual knife as it suits your needs. There's nothing worse than being stuck with an high-priced knife that's awkward or has few uses. My own recommendation would be to start with an 8-inch general purpose chef's wound and go on from there. Choose one that you can afford with a comfortable handle and a carbon steel or carbon stainless steel knife. Carbon steel is something that you want to have in all of your knives. The average person should also get at least one, and preferably more paring knives. Where you go from there is entirely your business and is based on your own needs.
