Good Kitchen Cutlery – Anolon Knives
Kitchen knives are one of those things in life that you have to spend a little money on to get something good. I’m not saying you need to go out and spend thousands of dollars on the best set there is, but you do get what you pay for. Most sub-$100 dollar sets have poor quality blades and are not built to last. It isn’t until you get into the $150 to $200 dollar range that you start to see a lot of good sets of knives.
Buy the right mid-range priced kitchen cutlery set and you may not ever have to buy another one. There are a number of mid-range sets that are built to last, and they will last many years if you take care of them correctly. This means cleaning them immediately after use and returning them to their block. Knives that are left dirty are prone to rust and corrosion, and they will not last long in thrown in a drawer with other knives.
When it comes to buying a kitchen knife set, it’s best to spend as much as you can afford. For most people, this is between $100 to $300. In this price range, there are quite a few great sets made by a number of different manufacturers. One of the best in this price range is an Anolon knife set. Anonlon got their start in the kitchen cookware arena, and recently has expanded into cutlery. They have developed a reputation for making top-notch cookware, and it looks as if their knives are going to follow suit.
One of the best ways to research a knife maker is to look at customer reviews on the Internet. A quick glance at the reviews on Amazon show that owners are generally happy with their Anolon knife set. These reviews are one of the best indicators of quality because they are written by customers who actually own the knives. People generally either have to be really happy or really disappointed in a product to write a review about it. When you consider the fact that people are more likely to complain about something they’re not happy with than they are to write a good review, it’s obvious these knives are of good quality.
Anolon knives are crafted of ice-hardened German steel. This high-carbon steel is extremely tough and holds its edge well. They will need to be sharpened occasionally, but not as often as some similar knife sets, which need to be sharpened after every use. Anolon knives can be used multiple times before they need to be sharpened, and they sharpen easily. The blades are stain resistant and aren’t prone to rust, but as with all knives, you have to make sure they stay clean and dry. They can be washed in the dishwasher, but it’s recommended that you hand-wash and dry them so they will last longer.
Anolon knives have SureGrip handles, make of ergonomic rubber. While people tend to associate rubber and plastic handles with the cheaper sets of knives, these handles are anything but cheap. They hold u well under heavy use, and they are light in weight and well-balanced, making long days in the kitchen a breeze. Buy an Anolon knife set if you want one of the best mid-range sets on the market.
