Knife Sets

Peruse the countertop of any at-home chef and you’ll spot a knife set in pride of place, given its essential status in the culinary connoisseur’s repertoire. The general consensus is that one kitchenware knife isn’t enough: those dedicated to the craft should choose a knife block that offers specific kitchen knives for specific jobs. In the same way that you have cheese and steak knives in your cutlery selection and varied pans in your cookware set, your kitchen knife set should cover all food preparation eventualities. Start with the must-haves, namely pairing, bread and chef’s knives – these are as crucial as anything in your kitchen, from the salt and pepper mills to the chopping board.
