Kitchen Knives

Information for Choosing Kitchen Knives

Whether for a chef in the professional kitchen or an amateur at home, the knife is surely one of the most essential tools in any kitchen. Getting good Quality Knives for the job keeps the kitchen safe and makes kitchen jobs as simple as they can be. Not only is quality important, but so too is getting the right knife for the job as different knives provide different functions.

Chefs in large, professional kitchens need a range Of Knives but in the average amateur kitchen in the home, only a small selection of kitchen knives is needed, provided it is a varied collection featuring the basic necessities. The kitchen knives that every home needs are: a two to three inch peeling knife which can be used to peel round vegetables, a three or four inch Paring Knife for paring and slicing fruit and vegetables, a five or six inch Utility Knife for general chopping, slicing and carving and then a large eight or nine inch general purpose cooks’ knife. Of course, a set of kitchen knives would not be complete without a large bread knife.

When buying kitchen knives, there is the choice of the brand and also the choice of whether or not to buy a set or to purchase the knives individually. Choosing a brand of knife will depend on budget: premium brands can seem very costly compared to high street brands of knives. Professional chefs and food lovers will perhaps have more money to spend on their kitchen knives than the average amateur cook in the home. Although branded knives are more costly, they are often made form better quality, harder steel than cheaper ones, meaning that they last longer and keep their sharpness for longer. Branded knives are also designed with the balance of the knife and the comfort of the user in mind. Many professional chefs swear that an expensive knife can pay for itself. Nevertheless, a carefully chosen set of kitchen knives from a standard high street store, if well looked after, will suffice for the average home cook.

Choosing kitchen knives in sets allows the buyer to make significant savings on the cost of the individual pieces, which is great where budget is an issue. However, sets do reduce flexibility in terms of the freedom to choose not only different knives within a manufacturer’s offering but also in terms of creating a bespoke, individualised Kitchen Knife set from the knives of a range of manufacturers.
