Tried using this twice and sent it back, absolutely not up to the task of juicing apples, which had to be cut into sixths to jam down the push tube! Forget this item and stick to the larger version model 215XL ...cv

Victorinox 8-Piece Knife Block Set Review

Victorinox 8-Piece Knife Block Set

To a professional chef, no kitchen tool rivals a great set of knives. When learning my trade in Paris, France, I used only the finest Sabatier knives. Later in life, I was fortunate to make a Swiss Miss a Mrs. Typically frugal and practical... and from a family that has had the same Restaurant Bauernhof for centuries... so, when my prized Sabatiers were lost in transit, she replaced them with a more economical (stamped not forged) Swiss brand, R. H. Forschner by Victorinox.
Suddenly, this 70 year old retired chef cut through decades of knife prejudice... the sharpness, balance, thin blade and heft brought joy to my kitchen again... and for a fraction of what I would usually pay! It has been several years since my first Forschner and it is just as good as the one I just purchased.
Last fall we visited Oberlunkhofen, Switzerland, where my mother-in-law continues as chef of the family restaurant at 82 years of age and her 86 year old sister-in-law is the waitress. Her wooden handled knives were of excellent quality but could no longer pass the NSF rules. I purchased a set of H. R. Forschners for her at a Swiss wholesale restaurant supply house... at a price higher than we could have gotten them on Amazon.com! Not only is she a cutlery pro, but she values price and practicality even in gifts. Now she thinks kindly of me as she cheerfully slices through each day.

The R H Forschner by Victorinox 8-piece Block Set includes: 4-inch Paring Knife, 6-inch Boning Knife, 8-inch Chef's Knive, 8-inch Bread Knive, 10-inch Slicing Knife, 10-inch Sharpening Steel, Kitchen Shears and Slant Hardwood Block.All knives feature high carbon, stainless steel blades, hand finished at Victorinox in Switzerland by skilled craftsmen.A special tempering process is used to produce an edge that can be resharpened over and over again, so the knife can keep its original sharpness throughout the entire life of the blade.Victorinox handles are ergonomically designed to minimize wrist tension.They provide a natural fit.A good heft and comfortable, positive grip are indications of a well-made knife.A sure-grip handle with a finger guard is valuable feature since the handle inevitably gets greasy, wet, or both.Although cutlery steel is naturally sanitary, materials and construction details of the handle minimize crevices what would offer hospitality to bacteria.

Harold Imports 4-Tier Cooling Rack Review

Harold Imports 4-Tier Cooling Rack

(More customer reviews)
My kitchen is very small and has very limited counter space, so I have a problem when I bake several sheets of cookies. Enter the Baker's Mate, which holds up to four cookie sheets. It is very sturdy and doesn't take up much counter space, allowing you to stack four cookie sheets at a time in a relatively small area (unlike trying to find room for four cooling racks!). It folds up for easy storage and is made in Sweden.

J.A. Henckels International Classic 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife Review

J.A. Henckels International Classic 8-Inch Stainless-Steel Chef's Knife
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's important to note that this knife is not made in Germany (the 4 Star, 5 Star, and Pro-S series are).
I started my good knife collection with a set of 3 of these International Classic knives. I later decided to get a larger set (9) of the 4 Star series, some of the finest knives in the world. However, I prefer this chef's knife over the 4 Star one. The grip is heavier and makes the balance a bit nicer.
For the paring knife, I much prefer the 4 Star one, so I wouldn't recommend the set of 3, but this knife is great. I use it all the time. If you are starting out on a knife collection, I recommend these things:
-a 4 Star 3-inch paring knife (or 2 if you are lazy with clean-up)
-this Chef's knife
-a cheap and large bread knife
-a medium sized 5-6in utility knife (good quality)
-a honing steel (good quality)
-a wood block to put them in (good knives should not be shoved into a drawer with other knives)
-[optional]a carving set of knife and fork, if you need carving utensils (I don't much)
I'd weigh the cost of these together against getting a more expensive set (if you are on a budget).

A very good made-in-USA slicer at a great price. The blade on this is more robust than on some Rada knives, more than a match for meats like ham.

"La Stanza dello Scirocco" fruit basket in white.It is a room without windows in which you can do nothing but ponder the wind that is undoing all sublunary things outside. The upshot is a collection of geometrically irregular items made up of small splinters of various sizes, interlaced in an unstable balance. And so I came up with the idea that "La Stanza dello Scirocco" could be recounted through the story of drawings done by hand and through images of shadows, and that we could then ask everyone to exert themselves ever so slightly and make a small input with their own imaginations.
