OXO SteeL 11-Piece Barware Set

My husband loved this Set for his Bar, everything in it is so helpful, of good quality and very nice. What's more I think is very good convinient to buy this set where you have most of the bar needs in a very good price, better than buying separetly.I purchased this set as a surprise for my husband. He loves...

World Cuisine 2-3/4-Inch Forged Paring Knife

I was looking for a French style fluting knife like the one pictured on Amazon with a sharply pointed triangular blade and a rather straight cutting edge and with a rat-tail tang set into a one-piece handle with a metal ferrule where the blade joins the handle. The knife pictured on Amazon looked to be just what...

MATFER BOURGEAT Plain Pelton Spatula Exoglass

This is the first spatula my wife has been satisfied with. The others have been either too flimsy, the edge too blunt, or the food sticks to them. I've always said you need the right tools for the job, hence the various and sundry implements in my garage. This is just as true in the kitch...

J.A. Henckels International Classic Forged Hollow-Edge Stainless-Steel 2-Piece Knife Set

Having been fascinated by all the hype over the hollow edge knives, I did my homework and picked this 2 knife set to try. After using these knives and in particular the 5" knife I understand what the rave is about. The control and shape of the knife allows for very precise cutting and slicing. From meat to vege's...

Dexter-Russell (S112-12H) - 12" Fish Splitter - Sani-Safe Series

This blade is huge. It is called a fish splitter but I think it can be used to cut poultry as well. Could not find any reviews on this online though. It has some weight as well.Razor sharp and enough weight to slice through the bones on Alaska's biggest halibut and salmon. Lodge owners and charters too should...

WMF 9-1/4-Inch Tomato Knife

Used this implement at a friend's house and knew I had to have one! Don't know how it works, but this knife produces perfect, uniform tomato slices with very little pressure and no tearing of the peeling. The slices are the same width at top and bottom, and the knife can also be used for slicing other soft/semi-soft...

Betty Crocker Cutting Board

This is a small cutting board that my local dollar tree sells for $1, 3.99 isn't a very good price..This cutting board is really too small to use for much. It's cutting surface is only 6 inches by 8 inches. Not very useful for my household.Buy Betty Crocker Cutting Board NowI should have guessed by the low...

Rada Cutlery Paring Knives Galore 3 Piece Boxed Gift Set, Made in USA

I just purchased this exact set not from Amazon but from a small Mennonite store. I've been looking for some good and I mean GOOD knives, and researching the Net and a number of chef magazines.As I pulled up to the little Mennonite store I noticed a sign stating they carried Rada Cutlery. I'd never even heard...

J.K. Adams 15-Inch-by-8-1/2-Inch Maple Wood Cutting Board, Tugboat-Shaped

This is an apparently well-made cutting board in a classic style. The paint around the edge is a nice touch. This will be going into a beach house.Some people have complained that it is "small" but the dimensions given in the title are accurate. Imagine roughly the size of yellow legal paper. In actuality, it...

Vanilla Sugar Spode Blue Italian Cake Slice

This server is pretty and functional too. Makes a great gift! I would buy it again.It matches the Spode Italian Blue china and goes beautifully with the Italian Blue cake sta...

Oster 70562.22 Baldwyn 22-Piece Cutlery Block Set, Brushed Satin

Pros:sharpplenty of knivesknife block rotatesdishwasher safeCons:rustwater gets inside the handletook a while to shipThese knives are not all molded from 1 continuous piece of metal. The blades are separate from the handle, and water gets into the crack where they meet. You have to tilt the knife down to get...

Rosanna Pearlized Pink Napoleon 5-Piece Place Setting, Service for 1

I bought this flatware in the blue and champagne colors many years ago when it was first introduced. I use it everyday and use it in the dishwasher and it is still beautiful. This flatware is the most beautiful you can have if you are not using sterling silver!!!!Bought this to add to the Napoleon flatware I...

J.A. Henckels International Classic Forged 2-Piece Stainless Steel Carving Set

This J.A. Henckels International Classic Forged Carving Set does a high quality job at a reasonable price. While not as impressive as the Henckels top of the line carving set, it slices with ease. You can carve adequately thin slices without much effort. I highly recommend this set to anyone on a budget who requires...

Mac Knife Chef Series Slicing Chef's Knife, 8-1/2-Inch

I love knifes.This MAC is the first MAC I bought and it's awesome. It's very very light and one of the "go to" knives my finace grabs. The blade is very thin, allowing it to make quick work of dicing onions, cutting vegetables and mincing herbs. Personally, I never use any of my japonese knives for boning...

Chantal 9-Inch Easy as Pie-Dish

I love this pie plate! So far I have made fruit pies and meat pies in it without pie weights and have gotten a perfectly golden, flaky crust (unlike those pesky disposable tins that give you uncooked spots!). I like that I can, in theory, press down on the uncooked crust on the edge for a decorative rim but found...

Core Bamboo Magnolia Collection Bamboo Cutting Board

I got this because it would fit on top of the Breville800XL Smart Oven perfectly! I may add some metal tacks on the bottom as feet just to ensure a cool distance between the wood and the hot oven.The only complaint is that someone must have marked the back by accident with a permanent marker.. just a few strikes......

Jamie Oliver 6-Inch Utility Knife

Blade and handle are perfect size for me to handle. Very sharp and blade is thinner than many other knives so it cuts through root vegetables more easily. Great price on special! Should have bought several as would make a great gift.I bought this knife as a budget replacement, but are impressed with the overall...

Rocking T Knife

The wood handle is unfinished and feels cheap.... Like you might get a splinter after a while. I wish I had gotten the plastic handle model.The knife is just what I wanted for my Uncle who has limited use of his left hand after suffering a stroke. Delivery was exceptionally fast.Buy Rocking T Knife Nowthese...

Sani Safe Brand Cooks Knife

I researched all the knives the experts recommend Henckel, Schilling, etc. and found myself totally confused. I didn't need a full set of knives and only wanted a 8 to 10 inch chef's knife so buying a set seemed a waste, yet purchasing even 1 chef's knife from a big name brand would run me $80-100 with shipping....

Chef'n Tower Grater 4 in 1 Stainless Steel Cheese Grater, Apricot

When I saw this grater offered, I thought "what a clever design".But the appearance is deceptive: the bottom can easily fall off, there are gaps so little bits of cheese can fall through, and overall the design is very bulky.Ugh!Try something else.This little sucker is sturdy, but it's designed to be used, unlike...

Messermeister Meridian Elite 6-Inch Kullenschliff Chefs Knife

This knife is my favorite to use in my kitchen for most cutting jobs. The only problem is I do not have a block to keep it in since it does not fit in the block I have from another set. I was hoping to discard some of my older knives and replace the space with this new one. I looked into a block specifically...

Victorinox 6-Inch Offset Spatula/Turner, Black Polypropylene Handle

I had been cooking all my life, but had never heard of an 'offset spatula'! Just a simple kitchen tool which does exactly what it should. Flexible, light-weight, perfect for getting out servings of lasagna (for example) or turning tofu or other things in the frying pan. I should have had one years ago.A total...
