The large one feels a bit too large to me. I seldom use it but when I do it works utterly so the set gets a 4 star instead of a 3. The middle sized one, lean and long experiences a bit too long to use well. I do n’t typically use it unless it seems to gibe the project. Maybe this is more about my and my minor hands and knife experience than the knives though which is, again, why they get a 4 star paygrade from me.
The little one is a dear knife to me. I use it all the time and it stays on sharp and splendid. It jibes not bad in my paw and slices really well. It is truly a joy to use. I always make sure it is clean and dry for my next use. I’d love a whole set of this size knife.

Are new electric knife sharpeners as good as professionally sharpened?

Filed under electric knife sharpeners Q&A August 17, 2010

Question by jojoandhiggins: Are new electric knife sharpeners as good as professionally sharpened?
I mean sharpeners like Chef’s Choice or something. I have very expensive knives that i really like and i don’t want to mess them up. IS there an electric sharpener that won’t do anything bad and sharpen them the way good knives are supposed to be sharpened? if so, please list the type. (I have german and asian style knifes so different angles would be very nice. including an option for single bevel)

Best answer:

Answer by Ashkip
i actually just went to a seminar on knife sharpening.
the only way to get a well sharpened knife is with a whetstone. the electric sharpeners will, over time, develop a rounded edge to the knife. this is not visible to the eye, but it will mean that after a while your knife wont be as sharp and you’ll need to grind down more and more of the metal to get a good edge, so you shorten the lifespan of your knife.

for an inexpensive kitchen knife though, or for somebody who just doesn’t want to use a whetstone, an electric one will be effective if not ideal

Have you ever noticed little rust spots on your cutting knives? Yes, they are more than simply ugly. The foods you’re cutting are being exposed to rust and unfortunately this could be unhealthy for you. If your utensils are showing visible rust, they’re already a bit past their prime and could do with some updating. Kitchen utensils are easily overlooked for being so common but for the same reason they’re constantly in need of your careful attention; you are preparing your food with them every day!

Frazzled plasticsHigh-density plastics, as used in such kitchen utensils as spatulas or egg flippers, are a wonderful alternative to the usual bevy of commonly used metals. They are flexible, guaranteed never to rust, and usually quite strong to boot. However, these plastics are not without their own drawbacks, as anyone who has ever left their plastic spatula too long upon the rim of a hot skillet knows all too well. Repeated accidental burns or even repeated usual exposure to heat throughout the course of duty can cause these plastics to begin to fray and come apart. While most of them are non-toxic, they nevertheless pose a risk of making your egg turnover just a little crunchier than intended as tiny bits begin to drop off and into your food. Check your plastic utensils for burn damage or worn surfaces from repetitive motions and replace them immediately.

The secret lives of kitchen knivesThough it’s true a well cared for top quality kitchen knife could provide you with decades of service, it’s important that you check your knife now and again for signs of damage or chipping. Chipping can be extremely hard to spot but, unfortunately, whether or not you spot it in time, you could be ending up with flakes of metal in your dinner. In order to prevent this, make sure you clean your knife right after use, dry it immediately after that and sharpen it as recommended in your owner’s manual. Proper care of your knife can extend its lifespan dramatically. Definite no-no’s include allowing your knife to sit out with grease, tomato or other food stains, as the oils and acids inside them will slowly break down the integrity of your knife.

Your nose knowsIn the case of plastic or rubberised specialty utensils, such as measuring cups or spoons, an odd and persistent odour could be a sign of harmful bacteria build-up. Do your measuring cups retain their unpleasant smell even after being thoroughly washed with soap and water? The soft plastics commonly used in these kitchen utensils are very susceptible to suffering small nicks and abrasions in the course of normal cooking duty. Following contact with raw egg, butter or any other medium prone to support bacteria, your plastic ware could become deeply infected and an ideal home for entire colonies of potentially harmful little invaders. If your plastics have an air you just can’t shake, it’s better to be safe than sorry and replace the whole lot.
