Overview
Slicing, dicing and peeling are all covered by this Cuisinart set of stainless steel knives, each with a nonstick coating and a matching blade guard. The coating colors let a cook assign one knife to each kind of food prep.
Reason to buy is coverage: one large knife, one serrated utility knife and one small paring knife arrive together, each with its own guard. The limitation is that coating wear and sharpening behavior are not described, so long term upkeep is unknown.
Who it's for
People setting up a first kitchen, or replacing a drawer of mismatched blades, get the most common cuts handled. Cooks who prefer to hone an uncoated blade should look at plain steel knives instead.
Pros and cons
- Chef, utility and paring knives together
- Matching blade guards included
- Nonstick coating aids color coding
- Stainless steel blades
- Stamped rather than forged blades
- Hardness and edge angle not listed
- No storage block listed
Performance notes
The nonstick coating reduces drag while slicing and gives each knife a color, so a cook can reserve one for raw food and another for produce. Stamped blades are cut from sheet steel, which affects weight and feel more than edge holding. The serrated edge listed for the set works by sawing through skins and crusts.
