Straight Edge Paring Knife

Straight Edge Paring KnifeI love all Wusthof knives, but this little one and my 6-inch Chef's knife are my two very favorites and I probably use the two of them almost every single evening when I cook dinner. I adore this little straight edge paring knife and use it for everything except very large chopping jobs. It is beautifully made and sharp as all get out. I don't think there is anyone who would not enjoy owning and using this knife. I am about to order it as a gift for someone.

J.A. Henckels 10-Slot Beechwood Knife Storage Block

J.A. Henckels 10-Slot Beechwood Knife Storage BlockBetter looking than the "other wood" blocks, sturdy construction. It's a knife block, and it works!

The placement of some of the slots is odd and the widths definitely seem to correspond to some Henckles set. I did have some problems owning more than one chef knife. Overall the quality of the block is excellent though.

This block is well made and very similar to one I've had for many years. We've figured out they will last even longer if we made sure the blade is wiped dry before inserting it. Maybe we are the only people that learned the hard way but when our old one finally broke we could see the moisture was causing the inside to become soft and moldy. Yea...yuck! This block will las a long time.

I like the light color of the wood. It looks good in my kitchen. I have some knives that are the same brand as the knife block as well as a few other knives and they all fit well in the knife block.

Royal Albert Old Country Roses 3 Pc. Cheese Knife/Spreader Set

Royal Albert Old Country Roses 3 Pc. Cheese Knife/Spreader SetWhile the Royal Albert/Country Roses flatware and serveware does not match my silverware, it's a stand-alone type pattern. I like to set out a buffet for family holiday dinners, and I will have the table set with my silverware, but on the buffet table, I like to put out the side and main dishes, as well as the desserts. I have ordered all the Royal Albert serving pieces just to use on the buffet table, and they stand alone as beautiful serving pieces. They don't need to match the silverware on the dining room table, they are so striking unto themselves.

Now, if only I could find the perfect tureen to go with the long-handled Royal Albert ladle.

Fiesta Scarlet 6-Piece Steak Knife with In-Draw Tray

Fiesta Scarlet  6-Piece Steak Knife with In-Draw TrayThese are really good, solid steak knives. They match my Fiesta Scarlet knife block, and fit nicely in my silverware drawer. I was a little concerned with nicking the wood when putting the knives back, but after a few weeks I got over it. It's going to happen.

The only thing I would change is have it come in a group of 8 not six. I wasn't going to spend the money to buy another complete set when all I needed was 2 more.

Cast Iron Taiyaki Pan

Cast Iron Taiyaki PanI looked incredibly hard for a good cast iron taiyaki pan and was so excited to finally find this oneand now I'm incredibly disappointed! The pan I received was Aluminum coated in teflon, materials linked to Alzheimer and other health issues! I immediately requested a full refund and am awaiting a response. Please do not buy this pan if you are at all concerned about your health! Amazon should remove this pan!

I wish the pan was a little heavier and had a darker finish, but that's personal preference speaking. There aren't very many of these pans available online, that I have found, in cast iron.

It does the job. Takes a little practice, but the same can be said for anything.

Farberware Color Paring Knives, Mixed Colors, Set of 4

Farberware Color Paring Knives, Mixed Colors, Set of 4I started using these knives a few years ago because I happen to see them in a local hardware store. They worked so well for so many different usages that I actually wore them out. I spent almost a full day going from store to store trying to find the EXACT brand, shape, and color but could not. I finally checked out Amazon and found them. I can't say anything negative about this product because it WORKS WELL FOR so many things.

Seems like the handle is too thin or the blade too short or something! Just very difficult to hold and use these knives. Next time I'll pay a bit more and hope for something easier to use.

Ginkgo Linden 20-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 4This set matches items that we purchased singly a few years back in our college days at our old local ACE hardware, so now we have a complete set!

Great set, and a good price here on Amazon. Got the "hostess" set as well, so everything matches. No problems with the quality. We've had the older ones for about six years now and have never had a problem with throwing them in the dishwasher, etc.

Dexter-Russell (S135F-PCP) - 5" Boning Knife - Sani-Safe Series

Dexter-Russell - 5' Boning Knife - Sani-Safe SeriesI wanted to get this knife because it was cheap, and had great ratings. It doesn't feel cheap in your hand, and performs like a much more expensive knife.

Why oh why did I wait to buy a boning knife? I went to the local housewares store but all they had in the way of boning knives were forged $$$ knives which were overkill in this instance, in my humble opinion. I'd previously purchased a Dexter-Russell bread knife which I was very happy with, so I finally ordered this knife and its arrival coincided with a BIG sale on whole chickens at the local market, so I got to put it to use right away

WOW. What an INCREDIBLE difference using the proper tool makes! I'd done some research online as to whether I wanted or needed a flexible blade or not, and this 5" narrow flexible blade proved to be IDEAL. Taking a chicken apart is remarkably easy now, no longer the mess I'd make with my Wusthof Wusthof Classic Ikon 8-Inch Cook's Knife, Black 8" chef's knife or my Wusthof Wüsthof Classic Ikon White Paring Knife 3 1/2" 3 1/2" paring knife. I did not understand the difference that a boning knife would make. I like to purchase whole chickens because they're usually cheaper and the longer a piece of meat remains in a large piece, the fresher it's going to be.

Consider this knife ESSENTIAL if you do any real cooking. Budget for it at once. Worth every penny!

Tuftop Crystal Clear Cutting Board

Tuftop Crystal Clear Cutting Board Size: LargeThe article is not as described -it is not "crystal clear." It had a brushed pattern on the top that I did not like at all -the whole point was to let my granite countertop show through, and that was not as expected. And it doesn't feel right when a sharp nice slices down against glass. This can't be good for your sharp knives. I do not recommend this product -I returned mine.

Perfect Meatloaf Pan Set

Perfect Meatloaf Pan SetContrary to what you might have read before regarding this product. This meatloaf pan works just as discribed. Just don't accidently lift it out of the oven by the inner rack handles. Lift the whole pan out of the oven and then lift off the meatloaf. Love the non-stick. Meatloaf just slid onto my serving plate. I've been cooking meatloaf for over 35 years, worring about the grease, etc. This is the best pan I've seen on the market and we bought one for our daughter for Christmas.

This meatloaf pan does everything it claimsdrains the grease, creates a perfect "loaf", and easily comes out. The only negative is that if you're planning to make a larger meatloaf, the cooking time is much longer. It is perfect, though, for leftover meatloaf sandwicheseasy to slice!

I purchased this pan from Walmart so I didn't get the knife, but that's ok. My Mom bought one of these too and she raved about it so I just had to get myself one and I'm not sorry I did. I don't do Turkey as I can't stand the stuff so I made a Meatloaf with my T-day trimmings and it was awesome. Didn't stick, wasn't floating in grease and it cooked evenly and was delicious. I highly recommend this product. Now I wish they would make mini meatloaf pans, that would be so cool. 2 pounds is really too much for me so part of my dish got frozen.

Great for making meatloaf and very easy to use. Could not be easier and also comes with a great cookbook too.

Ginsu Essentials Series Japanese 420J2 Stainless Steel 4.5-Inch Utility Knife 5103

Ginsu Essentials Series Japanese 420J2 Stainless Steel 4.5-Inch Utility Knife 5103Great knife. Cuts evenly and has a very nice edge for vegetables and meats. I would order a set of these again and I will probably order another set for my sister.

I needed a basic workhorse of a utility knife to replace a similar Ginsu that vanished during my last move. I didn't realize that the serrations on the knife are kind of, well, huge. My previous Ginsu utility knife had super fine serrations such that I could peel/slice/chop delicate foods without slaughtering them in the process. This knife, with its giant teeth, has a bit less usefulness to me. This is more of a steak knife with a point than an all-purpose utility knife.

You're getting what you pay for. Don't spend eight bucks on a knife and expect something special. It's fine, not great. It'll do.

Mcusta- Zanmai HKQ-3003D 7-Inch Santoku Knife

Mcusta- Zanmai HKQ-3003D 7-Inch Santoku KnifeThis is a high end Japanese knife manufacturer, best known for its pocket knife range, who does not shy away from using modern techniques in fabrication, especially for the earlier stages of knife making. You can google the company making these and read about their history and manufacturing methods.

In the hand the knife is very nice and it cuts well. The steel is reputed to be hard and of high quality.

The Damascus blade is attractive. The knife I bought was well priced for what it is.

I like this knife and would consider adding other knives from this producer to my set.

4006%2D7 Classic Ikon 3 inch Straight Paring Knife

4006%2D7 Classic Ikon 3 inch Straight Paring KnifeThese Wusthof Classic Ikon knives are a great, if a bit expensive, product. They are my daughter's favorite kitchen knives, and there is a wide selection of styles to fit your needs.

This is the third knife in this product line we've acquired for her. They stay sharp, fit her hand well, and I can see that the quality means they are likely to last her lifetime. Since they are likely to last so long, making later replacement purchases unlikely, perhaps the initial cost isn't as high as it might seem.

And, she cooks for a husband and five children, besides herself. From my and my daughter's experience, I don't think you'll be sorry you bought these.

I've butchered a number of deer with this knife and really enjoy using it. Its nice and sharp, comfortable to use, seems to hold an edge relatively well. I recommend a sharpening steel if you are going to be going through a large amount of meat. Touching up the edge after continued use helps make things go a little quicker and safer.

I love this knife. When my housemate saw it was Kershaw, he lamented over losing his Kershaw pocket knife that he said was the best. Not related to this kitchen knife, but his comment tells me that the brand Kershaw is known for quality. It's sturdy, comfortable to grip, cuts like a charm.

When i bought this at first it was amazing how sharp it was and slowly just like other knives it started getting blunt in a month or so but the grip and the quality are all decent and gives a nice look.Otherwise i guess if we sharpen it regularly it should be a wonderful knife to use.

Professional Japanese 9 Piece Chefs Knife Set in Canvas Holder ( Kitchen Knives )

Professional Japanese 9 Piece Chefs Knife Set in Canvas HolderThe actual blade of the knives is of great quality. But, I gave this set as a gift so my main issue was with the packaging and the handles of the knives. When I got my package the knife set was in a huge box with no bubble wrap or paper and looked like hell. The box was falling apart so bad that I decided to gift it in the canvas bag. Then I noticed that too was falling apart. It had holes from wear and tear. Then finally, I noticed the handles were painted with a little bit of black paint that was smeared on many of them. So overall, presentation not so great. But the knives/blades were in great shape. The chef that I gave them to loved them but hand to transfer them to a new bag. :(

The knives are sharp, made from one piece of steel & are of good quality. The case is thin, rips easily & is a piece of junk.

i have to say i wasn't really expecting a whole lot from these knives because of the price.

i got these mainly "travel knives" (knives i dont mind if the get damaged to and from work).

the only complaint i have with this set is the carrying case was ripped when i received them.(but since i got these as travel knives it really wasn't that big a deal). they are one solid piece of steel the handles are great for someone with medium to large hands. the knives were sharp right out of the box but i suggest sharpening them to your specifications. i have pitted these knives against my mercer knives and they preformed as well if not slightly better.

Bought these as a gift for my boyfriend. They're one piece of steal and he loves the handles and says they're sharp as heck. Although like other buyers have stated the case came a little damaged. The knives are not tipped or covered by anything but thin plastic within the case so they cut into the fabric at one or two spots during shipping. Good deal for the price.

VillaWare V5265-05 Power Meat Grinder

VillaWare V5265-05 Power Meat GrinderWhile the VillaWare 5265-05 has an acceptable appearance and acceptable accessories, a serious deficiency is the plastic auger. Many competitive units have metal augers which are far more durable. After grinding partially frozen fish, shrimp, spinach and meat, the auger was seriously deformed and was unusable. This was after less than 2 hours use. I have tried to get replacement parts but the internet site seems to be hard to find. In the newer models, the plastic auger has been replaced with a metal auger. This is a MUST. I'm hoping that Villaware will replace the defective plastic auger as a warranty items since their replacement with a metal auger is an implicit acknowledgement that the original auger was not up to the job. With a metal auger, I would rate the unit 4-5 stars since other components are quite good. Chuck Jensen

This is the best tool for grinding.

I feed my dogs a raw diet (B.A.R.F) and grind up all kinds of things, chicken necks, legs, wings, turkey necks, wings, beef heart, etc.......

It works great!

I highly recommend it.

Buy VillaWare V5265-05 Power Meat Grinder Now

You really need to read this if you are seriously interested in buying this meat grinder.

This 320watt Villa Ware meat grinder may give you problems if you pass through it a few pounds of cheaper cuts of beef that are long pieces that are almost the diameter of the filling tube.

If the machine seems to be not grinding the meat fast, then stringy fibers probably have wrapped themselves around the blade. In order to resolve the problem you will need to turn off the unit, (unplug it for added safety) then remove the blade and shaft for cleaning.

In order to avoid this potential problem, you need to cut the beef into about 1-inch chunks.

It is definitely five stars for being able to ground several pounds of meat in a matter minutes using the medium (hole) size disk. The drawback is the added time it takes of cutting of the meat into chunks.

Moreover, if you are only going to be using a pound or less of a cheaper cut of meat you will not have a problem, and can just put it right through the machine.

Was skeptical, but am 100% satisfied. Made 10 pounds of Sausages and 9 pounds of hamburgh and machine worked like a charm. Powerful, easy, solid, and fast. And, the price is way cheaper than elsewhere. It is fun too. I was fully prepare to try it and ship it back; but this is a keeper. (FYI made great sausages for about $1.50 per pound; pay $8 per pound in market). And, mine taste as good as the best!

I received the Power Grinder model 5265-05 last Christmas and I finally was able to test it this fall with 130 1bs of elk. I helped my buddy grind around 80 pounds of elk two weeks ago in one sitting and just completed another 50 pounds today with my wife's elk. The unit would shake just a little bit with the bigger chunks (sort of expected), but was able to grind them just fine. So far I am very happy with this unit and only time will tell how durable this unit is as well as how sharp the blade will stay. The way it performed using the medium cutting plate was exactly what I was hoping.
