More on Knife set with block utensilsWhen it comes to knife block sets there are a few things to look at. The first is the number of pieces you need. Large sets that comprise 14 through to 18 pieces pretty much have everything you will need for working in the kitchen. They will probably also have a set of steak knives that can be used when hosting a dinner party or just for family use. Some of the other knives that you will find in these sets are paring and boning knives for working with meat. You should also find one or more serrated eadge knife for cutting bread (and even vegetables). You should also find a chef's knife, a slicer knife and some shears or scissors. Knife block sets with few pieces, say 7 through to 9 piece sets will generally only have some of the working knives or may have a more specilized role, as with the Japanese knife sets that are more useful for use with Japanese produce or preparing Japanese style meals. The knife block itself is another important part of the set. Think about the type of wood that the block is made of, the color and some additional features. For instance, many blocks will have a knife sharpener conveniently located so that it is not a big deal keeping the knives sharp. You also want to consider how the knives are made and what sort of warranty comes with the set. The top knife makers will generally offer lifetime warranties and produce their knives to the highest quality. Some of the top knife makers in the world are J.A. Henckels, Wusthof and Victorinox (Swiss Army Knife Fame). These companies are European and have a long tradition of making knives and even swords. Some of these companies, in particular Henckels started their trade in the 17th century. Other more contemporary companies that have developed fine reputations in a short space of time include the American favorites like Calphalon, Chicago Cutlery and Kitchenaid. Kitchenaid is famous for many popular home appliances, cooking utensils and knife and cutlery sets. And of course there is the famous Ginsu brand of knife that is generally cheaper than the others but still produce a good quality knife set with block |
