Choisons Precision 6" Chef's Knife Review

In pondering my upcoming Asian menu dinner I took a look into my knife kit to see what might serve me well in preparing sushi and it came to pass that my good friends at Tribestlife.com came to my rescue.At my doorstep was the most interesting ceramic knife I've seen as of late; one of superior quality in design and function.

"The hand-sharpened 6" blade is perfect for almost any cutting, chopping, slicing, or dicing task. Choisons Precision Series Ceramic Knives are made from zirconium carbide, an advanced material developed from the 2nd hardest naturally occurring element on earth. Even more heat and pressure is applied to Choisons Precision Series Knives to create an ultra-high-quality, durable blade. Using this special process allows Choisons Knives to be sharper and lighter than stainless steel knives - making repetitive cutting tasks easy on the wrists and arms. Choisons knives also retain their edge up to 10X longer than steel knives, so more time is spent cutting, and less time is spent sharpening. Unlike steel knives, Choisons won't react with your food, preserving the natural flavor and appearance of your favorite ingredients."

This knife is very lightweight and it handled the demand of heavy usage when I worked on a variety of fresh vegetables from cabbage to mushrooms.It has an extremely sharp edge and is a bit thicker than other ceramic knives on the market which lends itself to increased durability.To finish off the knife it was hand-sharpened for higher quality service and unlike steel blades, are resistant to corrosive materials like juices and salts.I'm looking forward to putting this sharp little knife through it's paces to see what delicious dishes turn up on my cutting board.

Global 8-Inch 20cm Cook's Knife Review

This is one of the first global knives I bought.I loved it the first time I held it in my hands.What impressed me most was the perfect balance, the lightweight, and the sharpness.However, what may be perfect for me may not be perfect for you.I'd recommend anyone who is shopping for cutlery to go to a store and try how the knife feels in your hands before buying.And if you can borrow from a friend to try, that's even better.
Having used this knife for several years now, my initial impressions haven't changed.This is still my favorite knife for most tasks.I maintain it regularly with a steel and it is as sharp as it ever was.I have found though that for certain tasks like cutting slits into an onion for dicing or cutting root vegetables, I do prefer a heavier knife (that's why I bought another forged global knife), but that is just personal preference.All in all, a great general purpose kitchen knife.

Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 2-1/2-Quart Shallow Saucepan with Lid Review

This is the best pot, bar none, for its size that I have ever used or tried. I love to cook, so I have many different models and brands, including earlier Calphalon models, of this sized pot but had never been completely satisfied.

What's so extraordinary about the Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick, is the unique design which enables a versatility unmatched by all others.

The shape, which tappers gracefully upward, allows you to saute, simmer, steam, stew or even fry with ease. As a result, the volume it safely holds is much truer to its specifications than other 2 1/2 quart models. From gentle sauces to fried chicken, NOTHING is beyond its capability for producing consistently excellent results.

In addition, the nonstick surface is exactly that: nonstick. It is not just easy release, but genuinely nonstick, while still allowing you to brown foods for flavor as desired. It also comes with a lifetime warranty, ensuring the nonstick properties will last.

It is also much lighter in weight than traditional anodized pots, which I appreciate because I suffer from joint problems.

The glass lid allows you to see the food cooking, unless obscured by steam, while the pot's handle is not only beautiful, but does stay cool during the cooking process.

I have also put this pot into the oven (which is safe up to 450 degrees F), and achieved the same consistently superb results.

The special introductory price for this incredible cooking vessel makes it an unbelievable bargain. At such a reduced price, everyone will be able to try it without investing their life's savings.

As a result of using this pot, I look forward to buying other Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick pans of different sizes. This product is a true joy to cook with and is HIGHLY recommended.

For me, Calphalon has truly gotten it right with this latest line of its cookware. My search for the perfect pots and pans finally ends here! Bravo.
