Sabatier Knives - It’s great to know your way around the kitchen. Not only can this help you if you’re cooking for a large family, but it’s also ideal if you’re simply a bachelor. Now, when it comes to appliances and tools, I prefer to work with the best. Hey, who doesn’t If I’m going to be the one preparing all the food, which I am in my house, I want the quality Kitchen Aid appliances and a great set of knives. These products are imperative. This goes double for the cutlery. Once you’ve experienced some fine Wustof, J.A. Henckle, Al Mar or Sabatier knives in your kitchen, you won’t want to change again. The higher cost is well worth the lifetime of use.
Currently I Use a mix of cutlery in my kitchen. I have a high quality Wustof chef’s knife for most of my slicing and dicing. I have a J.A. Henckle serrated bread knife that performs flawlessly. I have an Al Mar paring knife that will peel virtually anything. And finally I have a set of 6 Sabatier knives for steak dinners and such. These tools all work wonderfully and I treat them with the utmost respect. Now, you’re probably wondering how I treat a knife with respect. That’s easy.
First of all, you wash each of them by hand and towel-dry them. Kitchen cutlery is often high in carbon, which allows it to hold a great edge, but it will also rust easily. I hone each edge on a steel sharpening rod before use. This touches up the blade and refines it a bit for ideal cutting. I always store my kitchen cutlery in a nice wooden knife block. I don’t want anything bumping the blades or edge in particular. Especially not other metals such as silver wear. And finally, only cut on a wooden or plastic surface. I prefer a wooden cutting board over plastic, but to each his/her own. NEVER cut on metal or ceramic plates. This dulls the blade terribly.
Okay, now you may be interested in some Sabatier knives or fine Wustof kitchen cutlery. I think every home should have a quality knife set in the kitchen. Find J.A. Henckle, Wustof, Sabatier knives, and a variety of other online or in your local kitchen store.
