Our Shopping Guide is designed to let you know what products will make your time in the kitchen as enjoyable and as easy as possible. We believe that you don’t need every gadget under the sun, so we’ve searched and sorted, always keeping quality and affordability in mind.
Like all friends, it’s what you reach for and depend on the most. There are three essential knives that will help you with just about every cutting task (we’ve given you a range in prices to choose from, too).
The most useful and indispensible knife in the drawer, use it for slicing, dicing, and chopping. Choose between an 8-inch blade (the most common) and a 6-inch blade (for smaller hands). Comfort is key.
Small and versatile, use this short bladed knife for more precise tasks like peeling, trimming, and coring fruits and vegetables.
The scalloped blade lets you glide through crusty breads and delicate tomatoes alike without slipping off or crushing them. The offset handle keeps your knuckles out of harm’s way.
The safest knife is the sharpest knife. Keep your edge with this honing steel for weekly maintenance in between professional sharpenings.
