Matter how you look at it, any kitchen needs a good set of knives. What’s sad about it is that most people don’t have the right knife for them.

Everything about them will have an impact on how long and how well they perform.

Does a JA Henckels Knife Block Set Cut the Mustard? « Product …

Deciding which new set of kitchen cutlery to purchase can be a difficult decision because of two reasons. One, unless you purchase a Ginsu knife set, it is a significant investment. Second, there are a lot of options to choose from and, of course, each brand claims to be the best. JA Henckel is a brand name that has gained itself a great reputation and is considered to be, within many circles, one of the top kitchen knife sets on the market today. But does a JA Henckels knife block set live up to its reputation?

The first thing to consider here is price. Henckel cutlery is not cheap. No quality kitchen cutlery is. So what are you paying more for when you purchase a Henckels knife block set?

1. Over 275 years of manufacturing knives. Experience counts for a lot here. This company has been at the forefront of knife manufacturing for centuries and has done a very good job of adapting to change and incorporating new materials and technology into their manufacturing process.

2. Ergonomic design. Many think that the blade of the knife is the most important part of it. It is very important, but an argument can be made that the handle is even more important. Every knife in a Henckels knife block set contains an ergonomically designed handle which ensures that the knife will be well balanced, easy to grip and comfortable in the hand. A knife that is hard to hold is frustrating and potentially dangerous.

3. Polypropylene handles. I won’t go into the details but polypropylene handles make the knife more resistant to germs, shock resistant and dishwasher safe.

4. High grade stainless steel. This material is not cheap, but it’s worth the price and is a big factor in what separates Henckels knife sets from others. It is harder, stronger, and more durable than many other materials. This allows the blade of the knife to be much sharper than the others and to hold its edge longer. When re-sharpening is required, the material will not get worn down. It can be resharpened again and again.

There are many other differences between a JA Henckels knife block set and other knife block sets.

Electric Knives Not Just For the Turkey Anymore

However the old standby electric carving knife has been joined by several other electric knives made for specific purposes. The fisherman has long enjoyed the use of the fish filleting knife. As mentioned above the standard electric carving knife has long been used for cutting foam and other soft non food items.

Samurai Sharpening at Chelsea Market

Knife sharpening is one of those things we should all do more often {tips to properly care for your knives below}. A good sharp knife is not only safer to use, but makes the labors of kitchen cutting far easier. We let it go because who really wants to carry around their kitchen knives in search of someone to eliminate all dullness and put our chopping skills back on track. And then comes the day when you just can’t stand it anymore — you could cut better with a butter knife.

Get Your Knives Sharpened!

If you’re in NYC, finding a good knife sharpener is not always easy. A Google search results in articles dating back seven years. Clearly this is not one of those things you can find at your local corner market. But the good news is a sweet sharpener called Margery Cohen

Gluten-Free Girl and the Chef: learning knife skills

Last week, I wrote this about using a chef’s knife in the kitchen:

“When we were cooking the Dog Mountain Farm dinner, I was lost for a few moments in the rhythm of my knife on the plastic cutting board as I chopped herbs fine. Something made me listen to it, step outside of myself as my sharp knife divided the rosemary in half, then half again. It sounded good. It sounded right. The tip of my knife stayed on the board as the blade moved from right to left, like a lawnmower through tall green grass. I haven’t noticed, in months and months, just how evenly I cut something now. Chopping is meditation, getting a job done. Now that I have the confidence of hours of doing this the right way in my hands, I don’t have to think. I can simply step up to the counter and enjoy.”

Many of you wrote me to ask — how did you get there?

Well, I watched Danny and I practiced. (Also, I’m still not that good, just more sure.)

Since many of you have asked recently, and before this too, we did a video of Danny demonstrating how to use a knife well.

This is the first part in a video series on knife skills.

Watch and practice, if you don’t already feel comfortable with a knife in the kitchen.
