For many people, cooking is either a frustrating nightmare or a boring necessity. To make cooking a joyful experience, you need a kitchen stocked with pantry necessities, fresh ingredients and the tools to turn those into a memorable meal.
Knives are crucial to any home cook’s success, but they’re overwhelming to pick out if you’re a newbie. The 9-Piece Cutlery Set by Epicurious takes the aggravation out of picking kitchen gear.
These stainless steel knives cover every chopping scenario you’ll encounter in your kitchen. The 8-inch chef’s knife is a jack-of-all-trades: it’s perfect for chopping veggies, chicken and other proteins. The detail-oriented paring knife performs smaller tasks, like julienning vegetables or deveining shrimp.
The set’s Santoku knives can chop, dice or mince ingredients. Vegetarians will get plenty of use out of the Kudomono knife, which cuts and peels fruits and greens. A slicer knife, boning knife, and sturdy kitchen scissors round out this set.
Usually, the 9-Piece Cutlery Set by Epicurious costs $100, but you can make your work in the kitchen easier now for only $52.99 (47% off).
