Getting a Rachael Ray Set for Your Kitchen

By Moses Harun

In a commercialized society where just about every movie or television star is cashing in on his or her popularity with product endorsements, talk shows, books and blogs and eponymous products, Rachael Ray is just as busy as everyone else. Happily for the followers of the television personality, her eponymous retail items are related to her established area of talent ' cooking. Thus was born the Rachael Ray knife sets which complete her cookware product line, such as the Furi Rachael Ray Gusto Grip 3 Piece Knife Set.

General Features

Rachael Ray's cutlery is made by F'ritechnics, an Australian cutlery company that furthermore garners recommendations from other celebrity chefs like Nigella Lawson. Under Ray's suggestion, her F'ri knives are lightweight with non-slip handles (in Ray's words, 'super duper grippy') and factory sharpened blades. And naturally, with orange being her signature color, practically all the knives are sporting orange handles cases, with the singular exception of the black-handled steak knife set with case.

With regards to the technical issues, Rachel Ray's cutlery sets are fabricated from a high-grade German stainless steel alloy blade encased in a polypropylene/synthetic rubber handle molded in a patented reversed-cone shape to improve its 'super duper grippyness'. A pair of notable features in the hilts of these knives are the germ-killing ingredients in the synthetic rubber, and the copper insert which could be shaved to re-establish the knife's balance in the wake of a number of sharpening sessions.

Advantages

You'll have to agree, you don't want to depend on super sharp knives which could get quickly out of control when they are moistened by liquid on your hands, which occurs constantly when you are cooking.

Disadvantages

Although this particular knife set delivers cutting performance, customers have some issues about the knives themselves. To begin with, the orange handles could be difficult to decorate around in case your d'cor is in a contrasting hue, or perhaps you simply don't prefer your kitchen gadgets to visually jump out and greet your callers. Unless you would like to deal with these very visible accents constantly, you may want to consider neutral-colored handles like black or silver.

There are even problems about the danger of the E. coli bacteria settling in the yawning seam which divides the rubber handle and the metal bolster. This, naturally, proceeds from the lack of ease in washing properly in such tiny spaces. Well, it could be the anti-microbial components in the handle can diminish it, although the chance may be too high for your peace of mind. A nice set to look into is the Furi Rachael Ray Gusto Grip 3 Piece Knife Set.
