Browne Foodservice 80124810 Tin Quiche Pan, High Rim, 4-Inch
These tarte molds with removeable bottoms are heavy duty, easy to clean, and worth the cost. One warning though; the photograph shows four pans but does not indicated that the price is for ONE. I ordered two, expecting eight, but after only two arrived, I ordered the rest. Amazon, please show only one OR indicate that the price quoted is for just one.

Messermeister Pro-Touch Channel Knife
This channel knife makes it so easy to make nice super long twists of lemon or orange to make your cocktail look amazing! I am left handed, and this is very easy to use for me, doesn't seem to matter if you are lefty or righty, it slices through the peel very easily. Bartenders should all have a good channel knife, but often don't even know what one is. This channel knife is not just for the profession bartender, if you make a cocktail at home, you should be able to make it look and taste better than when you go out. Dazzle your friends with a super long lemon twist in that drink you make at home, they will be amazed at what a wonderful bartender you are!
There were a few to chose from and I decided on the Messermeister Pro-Touch and am thrilled with it. It works like a charm and I love the non-slip handle.

I have been searching for the knife that creates the long strips of lime/lemon that go in a martini. This is supposed to be that knife but I found it very difficult to use and would not recommend it. There were no directions. I purchased two knives one for a friend and had to alert her that I couldn't get the knife to work properly.
SET OF 3 SANTOKU KNIVES
the product was brilliant and quite competent. edging was true. i re-ground them to a right-handed edge different from traditional Japanese tools but that is the best way that i cut. the only downside was that the shipping expense was as expensive as the knife set itself. i recommend the knives without question. a real value for the weekend Sushi Chef.

I ran all of my knives, which hadn't been sharpened in years, several times through the slots and they stayed easy-slicing sharp for about a year before I had to sharpen them again.Want Edgeware Edge Gourmet Compact Electric and Manual Knife Sharpener Discount?
I love this sharpener for two reasons. 1. Its sharpens knives. 2. It has instructions that explain how sharpening a blade is only done by "drawing" the blade toward yourself when honing the blade (this is not the same as cutting toward yourself). And now I have to be careful reaching into my knife drawer, and am even thinking about buying a butcher block to store my cutlerySave 7% Off

Unica Flatware Collection "Daniel" 24-Piece Black-Handle, Vibro Finish Flatware Set plus Organizer,
The item description says "soup spoons and teaspoons," which lead me to believe that the soup spoons would be really significantly large like soup spoons often are. The labeling on the set itself has them as "dinner spoons" which is much more accurate a description of the spoon size than "soup spoons" and the teaspoons are, surprisingly enough in this day and age of blown proportions, about teaspoon size. Well, maybe two teaspoons but still significantly smaller.The set's classy enough and the included drawer organizer is pretty okay though you can probably find something better at any box store for cheap. If I could rate things with half stars, this would get 4.5, but since I can't, it gets rounded down. I'll probably buy another set at some point if only to replace the teeny spoons that have instantly doomed themselves to a life of being used to stir coffee...or being used as actual spoons when I want to feel like a giant...yeah.
LamsonSharp Traditional Chinese Vegetable Cleaver
The Chinese vegetable cleaver is my favorite knife. It is very easy to sharpen, very easy to rapidly slice or chop vegetables, and very easy to slide the knife under the cut vegetables and carry them to the cooking pot. I consider the Chinese cleaver to be much more convenient than the typical Japanese vegetable knife because if has a much larger blade, which makes it so much easier to use. Even though the blade is large, the knife is not heavy. Sharpen it often and keep a film of olive oil on it. It will last and you will love it. (This is NOT a meat cleaver. I broke my first Chinese vegetable cleaver by using it to cut frozen chicken.)

The blade on this cleaver seems pretty good, but the handle came off exactly 31 days after purchase. It turns out the handle and blade were only attached by a what appears to have been a staple. Now I'm stuck with it. Don't buy this.Read Best Reviews of LamsonSharp Traditional Chinese Vegetable Cleaver Here

Overall, I am pleased with this knife. It was the only major knife type I still did not have, and I like it very much for chopping carrots, celery, and other "short" vegetables (NOT including potatoes). I get a really bad callous on the side of my index finger when I use it for too long, but I really like the heft and balance, and the fact that you can scoop up your veggies all at once to put them in the pot or wherever. Edge retention is only so-so, and I have to steel it regularly, and have used my diamond sharpener on it once so far. Would buy again.Save 3% Off

I have the entire set of Showtime knives, I got them as a Christmas present about five years ago. The very best knife in the entire set is the cleaver; this thing is HEAVY and substantial and it holds an edge very well. A family member who was mad at having to chop the chicken for dinner actually put the cleaver THROUGH my cutting board, breaking it in half. So yes, that is a nice knife!If you don't have the money to invest in lifetime knives, I would recommend the set of Showtime to get you going. You'll get years of service from them, they sharpen nicely. They aren't TOO flexible, the santoku is just borderline for me after getting a nice heavy Calphalon but it still does the job on things that aren't too hard to cut. As I've been able to get higher quality knives I have slowly retired the Showtime pieces (rehoming them to others) but they've held up better than any other cheap knives I've purchased over the years. What I'm saying is, you COULD do worse and spend more, these are decent for the price.
For what it's worth, I have yet to find a cleaver of any brand that I like as well as the Showtime cleaver. That thing is just perfectly balanced and sturdy as heck. Even being whacked through my cutting board didn't dull the edge! The serrated bread knife is also hard to beat; it cuts bread, tomatoes, ham, you name it!

I. Had ordered this for my wedding and then got a call from the company not even two weeks before that sorry they were out and needed to order something else and boy was I mad.

That day she called and bought me the same one elsewhere shipped it immediately for no charge, I could not of asked for better more pleasant customer service.

Global G-888/91ST - 9 Piece Knife Set with Block
I have used Global knives professionally as a Chef/Restauranteur and at Home for many years. I still have the first Global I ever bought the 11" Forged Chefs Knife it has done alot of serious cutting and still looks new. I have many more now but that was my first Global and what a knife it is.The ergonomics and looks alone would sell these knives but couple that with their edge holding and incredible sharpness and they are truly the Ferrari of knives. They offer a perfect nonslip grip for any size hand and the balance and light weight make using them a a breeze. Also the metal storage block not only looks cool but will not dull your knives like a wood block does. BONUS.
Considering that you will be passing on these knives from generation to generation the cost should not be a serious concern. There are no handles or bolsters to break (or gather germs) they are one piece of perfectly balanced steel. If you take reasonably good care of these knives they will last you a lifetime of hard use and your kids lifetime too. My Globals have chopped, peeled and sliced for literally hundreds of thousands of people. I seriously doubt most of you will put them through that. But it is good to know that they will take it in stride.
I even take mine on vacation with me, not all of them just the basic kit I refuse to cook without them. We take long vacations and know we eat better at the rented home or villa than at most of the restaurants in what ever area we are in. One of the perks of being a Chef, don't worry we still give the finer eateries a spin it is a vacation after all. The locals have to eat too!
You will thank yourself everytime you use these knives, if you know a foodie you really care for get them at least a starter set as a gift. They will love you for it and you will get more great food out of them too.
Life is too short to use cheesy knives! You know the ones.

Yeah these knives rock!My wife and I have been proud owners of this set of knives for 4 years and they still amaze me how well they have stood up to time. I was cooking professionally at the time when we purchased these knives, and we don't regret purchasing these knives. Every year I sharpen them with a stone and use a steel every so often. Cleaning and maintenance is a breeze, even if you don't sharpen them often, just go to Williams-Sonoma every couple of years to get them sharpened. They are well worth investment in good knives that everybody loves using.

This gorgeous knife opened my eyes to fine cutlery. It feels like an extension of your body, it is so well balanced and so effective.

J.A. Henckels International Forged Synergy 8-Inch Chef's Knife
This knife is light weight but heavy enough to chop celery without leaving "strings", halve a cabbage or butternut squash. I have other Henckels knives and have found they hold their sharpness longer than other brands I have and when needing sharpening, just a few swipes will restore the original sharpness. This knife fills the spot between paring and cleaver.
For pretty much everyone, in combination with a whetstone this is the only chef's knife you'll need. Just don't put it in the dishwasher!!
