Kitchen Knives
Ask any chef -- professional or home kitchen
-- and they will tell you about their Wusthof,
Sabatier, or Henckels knives -- or give you
a blank stare because they think a knife
is just a knife.
But they aren't. Expensive knives
cost more
because of their design, balance,
materials
and construction. They are easier
to use
and cut better longer (with proper
care).
Our preference is with the Henckels.
When shopping for Henckels keep
in mind that
they offer an array of price/quality
levels.
Their value line (identified
by the logo,
which has only one figure in
it rather than
the two entwined figures as shown
in the
photo to the right) is designed
for cooks
who use them for only an hour
or two a day;
the professional line is designed
for the
much heavier use that a knife
gets in a professional
kitchen.
A good quality Henckels knife
costs a lot
more than the dollar store variety,
but it
makes a great gift for the serious
cook,
whether they are just starting
out or have
years of experience behind them. |
