Better Food Preparation with Durable Kitchen Knives

By Moses Harun

Now after a century of business, Farberware offers many kitchen gadgets and accessories covering the spectrum from home appliances to tableware to barbecue accessories. One of its quality made product lines is kitchen knives, which have been made into five series. According to its website, these five include the Farberware Millennium, the Stainless Soft Grip, the Farberware Classic Series, the Farberware Professional and the Farberware kitchen knife sets, all of which feature non-slip handles.

Product Features

The Millennium series is made with stainless steel handles and fine-edged blades that are dishwasher-safe, which means they are more user-friendly than the majority of high-end kitchen blades. The Stainless Soft Grip series includes the same features as the Millennium series aside from the fact that hand washing is recommended. The Professional Series can boast about the same features as the other series as well as the fact that professional series handles use three rivets to add durability and strength.

The Classic Series and the Ultraedge Pro Series of the Farberware kitchen knife set reportedly call for no blade sharpening because of their high-carbon stainless steel blades, which have become admittedly the most popular blades for cutlery recently. With their non-slip handles constructed from polypropylene, and Faberware makes a great product. All you need to remember, though, is which Faberware knife set calls for hand washing rather than dishwasher cleaning.

Advantages

Well, if you might be the sort who doesn't clean knives right when you use them, but would rather put your cutlery into the dishwasher, the Farberware Millenium series would be perfect for you. Even with the Millenium knives, you ought to keep in mind that even the highest kind of steel will rust after too many exposures to the chemicals employed by a dishwasher.

Additionally, several of the Farberware knives are constructed using high-carbon stainless steel, that is proven to be highly-resistant to stains and rust. While carbon steel is not as simple to sharpen as usual stainless steel blades, the supposed "no need for sharpening" advantage easily offsets it.

The Cuisinart blades are normally forged, not cold rolled, which makes for better balanced blades that are light in your hands but heavy on whatever you're cutting. But naturally, these abilities are seen in many forged knives, so that's hardly anything to have a party about.

What's more, if you are a person who would prefer to enjoy coordinated utensils but loses them more than usual, you may be happy to note that the pieces of any Faberware knife set could be bought at any better retailer around the country. After all, Farberware is nearly everywhere!

Disadvantages

The somewhat narrow handles of nearly all pieces in a Faberware knife set could pose an issue for users with large hands. Although the blades work satisfactorily normally, getting a good grip on the handles could be difficult, particularly when your hands are wet.

An unfortunate aspect of the "no need for sharpening" claim, this could be relevant only to repeated uses, because you still need to sharpen Faberware knives right out of the package. After that, you can just do the maintenance to make the knives as well as possible. (Apparently, the "no need for sharpening" claim is simply a marketing gimmick)

The final verdict concerning a Faberware kitchen knife set: It's an average knife set which might be acquired for an average price. For more complicated kitchen procedures, you may as well spend more money to acquire professional quality knives. For everyday uses in a home, a Farberware kitchen knife will manage just fine. - 30289
