Invest in Quality Knives for Better Food Preparation

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 which happen to be dishwasher-safe, renedering them more user-friendly than many good quality cutlery sets. The Stainless Soft Grip series possesses the same attributes present in the Millennium series aside from the issue that hand washing is recommended. The Professional Series has the same attributes as the other series plus that these handles use three rivets to ensure stability and strength.

The Classic Series and the Ultraedge Pro Series of the Farberware kitchen knife set reportedly require no blade sharpening due to their high-carbon stainless steel blades, which are arguably the standard materials for cutlery nowadays. With their non-slip handles formed from polypropylene, and you have a very good knife. All you want to remember, apparently, is which Faberware knife set requires 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.

Also, several of the Farberware knives are constructed using high-carbon stainless steel, which has proven to be highly-resistant to corrosion and rust. While carbon steel is not as straightforward to sharpen as usual stainless steel blades, the supposed "no need for sharpening" quality means you shouldn't have to worry about it.

The Cuisinart blades have been forged, not cold rolled, which results in exceptionally balanced tools which rest light in your hands but heavy on the food being cut. But naturally, these qualities are seen in most 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 judgment concerning a Faberware kitchen knife set: It's an average product which might be acquired for an average price. For more demanding kitchen jobs, you might as well part with more money to purchase the proper kind of knives. For daily tasks in your home, a Farberware kitchen knife will serve just fine. - 32406
