We would have liked to see a smaller serrated knife included with this set, perhaps in place of the utility knife. For this price, you’ll be hard-pressed to find any major brand that can compete. The closest competitor is Victorinox, though their Fibrox Pro chef knife still comes in at nearly twice the price of a Cuisinart chef knife. Riveted handles like those of the Classic series add both weight and durability. The hammered finish of the Artisan series helps ingredients to slide off of your knife rather than stick to it. That’s because of the small air pockets that are created, making for smoother and easier cuts.
As mentioned above, our testing can’t predict long-term durability, but we’ll continue to use our winners and update our review based on further use. For this test, we weighed blocks of Gruyère and Parmesan cheese, then pushed each through the appropriate shredder. Some models failed to successfully shred as much as 24% of harder Parmesan cheese, which proved to be the more difficult of the two. A couple of food processors turned the Parm into long, spaghetti-like strands, which aren’t really useful for a cheese that’s not prized as a melter.
In addition, the colorful design is quite pleasing to the eye. This set is a solid choice for a beginner in the kitchen on a budget who wants a nice-looking set of knives. Some knife sets come with blocks that have slots to store the knives in, while others come with individual covers.
Interestingly, our winning Cuisinart—the model that didn’t have a dough blade and instead called for using the S-style metal blade—successfully incorporated the Cookware Sets dry ingredients, too. The more expensive machines, and all of our winners, have induction motors. This means less friction, heat, noise, and mechanical wear.
Want to upgrade your backsplash but can’t spend a ton of money to redo it all? Opt for peel-and-stick tiles, like this gorgeous Portuguese Blue set. The easy-to-apply stickers lend a realistic tile effect Cookware Sets and are resistant to heat, water, and humidity. Snag a handful of these labels so you can methodically organize your fridge, labeling drawers and shelves for vegetables, fruit, cheese, snacks, and more.
It’s 8” long, which is the ideal size for a beginner’s or a home cook’s chef knife because it’s easy to use, and can be used for a variety of kitchen tasks. Essential knives for an extra edge – the precise stainless-steel blades slice through any cooking prep task with ease – from chopping carrots to dicing onions. The best set is the Cuisinart C77WTR-15P Classic Forged Triple Rivet 15-Piece Knife Set in White. This Cuisinart knife set contains everything you could possibly need for almost any dish, as well as a few valuable extras like a knife sharpener to properly maintain your knives’ edges. We found it a little hard to tell which knife is which when the blade guards are on them. We ended up having to take off the guard each time we reached for a knife to see if it was the one we wanted.
