First, the pic shows 19 slots but the write up says 20 slots. Didn’t know what I was going to get. Said In Stock, but took 15 days to ship with Super Saver.

Second, Amazon & J. A. went out of their way not to let me know what the slot sizes are. The one I got fortunately has 20 slots. One for scissors & one for a steel, a 3 1/4″ cleaver slot, 4 – 2″ slots, 2 each 1 3/8″ & 1″ slots, 1 – 1 1/4″ slot and 8 – 3/4″ slots for steak knives.

Now, my cleaver won’t fit in the cleaver slot, but that isn’t a problem because my 10″ chefs knife won’t fit in any of the other slots so it has to go in the cleaver slot. My 12″ roast slicer doesn’t have a prayer. All the other knives I don’t use fit fine.

All in all it’s a nice block at a nice price. I didn’t like wondering for three weeks what I bought.

Knife Set

I made enough sales to buy Pampered Chef knife set from a party I hosted. Should I buy Henckles instead?

They’re forged German steel.

I don’t know about the Henckles knives, but I do know that Pampered Chef knives are good quality. I love mine!

In last week’s episode, “Restaurant Wars,” we saw my beloved Kenny go home (I know, shocking!) in spite of the fact that every.single.chef seemed to agree that Alex was the one who truly deserved to be sent home in his place.  I’m still mad about the whole pea purée thing, but nothing prepared me for discovering how much I truly loathe Alex’s ineptitude in the kitchen and—as clearly proven in his “front of the house” role—anywhere else near food (or people, for that matter).  Ok, so maybe I’m being a bit harsh, but Alex stinks, and it’s time for him to go.  Anyway, let’s move on to bigger and better things, like this week’s Quickfire Challenge.

Quickfire Challenge:  The Mystery Box

-Create a Dish Using the Contents of Mystery Boxes

After several of the chefs discussed their disdain for Alex, and Angelo admitted he was “mentally exhausted,” the contestants headed out to the Top Chef Kitchens, where they found several black boxes marked with question marks, as well as Padma, standing with their guest judge for the challenge: Wylie Dufresne, chef and owner of wd~50 in New York City

A lot of people are into cooking shows these days. If you’re one of them, then you’ve probably thinking that you should trade your old set of knives in for a whole new one, but that might just not be possible at the moment. This doesn’t mean, though, that you can’t supplement it with a few better knives. If you’re going to do this, you must first look at chefs knives.

Say your budget was so limited you could only get a single new knife. In that case, the chefs knife would be your answer because it could do all the basic tasks you’d need to complete in the kitchen. No matter what type of food you were using it on, or even if you just wanted to slice some sandwiches, you’ll be able to do most of what you need.

Of course, saying you need a chef’s knife is much easier than actually finding one. The market for these products has grown to huge proportions from our grandmothers’ day. Because different people have different needs, knives have been made for basically any user. As such, your perfect knife is probably out there – it’s just a matter of actually finding it.

When doing your search, it is very important to know exactly what you’re looking for. You probably don’t realize it, but your hands will be the biggest factor in your decision. Your new knife should have a size relative to that of your hands – with bigger hands getting bigger knives, and vice versa. This is very important in making sure things fit you well.

Your hands matter not only for the size of the knife itself, but also in terms of the grip you’ll be getting. In this case you don’t need to worry too much if you have large hands – you should be able to handle whatever the knife comes with. However, if your hands are really small, you’ll probably want a flattened handle to be able to better grasp it.

You should consider the type of cooking you tend to do when it comes to usage of the knives. If the knives you have are in good condition, you can use the chefs knife only for certain things and get away with a smaller blade. If, on the other hand, you’ll need it for more complicated tasks such as dicing or julienning, you’ll need the kind of blade made for whatever you want to do.

Think about whether having the right equipment is important to you. If you are professional chef or aspire to cook like one, you’ll need the kind of chefs knives that can allow you to work quickly. Get acquainted with what will work best for your skill level and the other qualities you want from your knife. Spend some time to research your purchase so the knife you get will not only get the job done, but get it done more professionally.

When you’re thinking about the right chefs knife, you probably don’t consider your hands, and yet this is the first place you should be looking. Too many people have very large knives that their small hands can’t handle or very small knives that they can’t control well with their large hands. Make sure that what you get feels right when you’re using it.

There’s the matter of grip when selecting suitable chefs knives. If you have larger hands, you don’t have to worry too much. The average grip that comes on knives will probably be fine for you. However, it might not be the case if you have smaller hands. To avoid any problems where you can’t get a firm grasp on the knife, you’ll probably want to go with a flattened handle.

You should consider the type of cooking you tend to do when it comes to usage of the knives. If the knives you have are in good condition, you can use the chefs knife only for certain things and get away with a smaller blade. If, on the other hand, you’ll need it for more complicated tasks such as dicing or julienning, you’ll need the kind of blade made for whatever you want to do.

One thing to look at is your level of expertise. You can actually do work more quickly with some knives than others if need be. Of course, it’s a good idea to look for the best chefs knives for how you personally work. Make an educated decision and you’ll be rewarded with a high quality and long lasting product that ramps up your food preparation skills.
