Best Kitchen Knives

The set of kitchen knives is one of the most important equipments for the success of your dishes. Professional chefs often have a set of personalized kitchen knives that they always carry with them, precisely because of the importance they have within a kitchen. Thanks to them you can cut bread, vegetables, or meat and filleting the fish, thus obtaining perfectly chopped ingredients for their preparations. As we will see in this article, the set of kitchen knives is composed of several elements that stand out not only for the shape and use but also for the materials. Let’s find out together.

How does the handle of a kitchen knife have to be?

There are two types of handles for kitchen knives. At one time the handles of knives were made of wood bone. Due to their short duration over time they have been replaced with other materials, in addition to the fact that the wood tends to chip and absorb odors and impurities. Today, both stainless steel and plastic handle guarantee practicality and hygiene.

Ceramic steel kitchen knives?

Since ceramic knives have become popular, this question often arises among those who are about to buy a set of kitchen knives. Until recently, kitchen knives were exclusively made of stainless steel. It is a robust, non-rusting material and is extremely hygienic. It should also be remembered that there are knives on the market made of different types of stainless steel with a different degree of strength. They differ from each other on the basis of the use of the knife itself (to cut the meat will need stronger steel than that of the fish).

There are also knives made of a new alloy of steel and carbon, a material that is extremely resistant but tends to rust, and that gives the cut food a ferrous aftertaste.

Finally, the new ceramic kitchen knives: the blade is incredibly sharper than steel knives, but the ceramic is more delicate and is more likely to break or chip. They should be used with care not to slam or drop them.
