Test Kitchen à La Carte Knife Set
Published November 1, 2011. From Cook's Illustrated.
Instead of wasting money on a set of mediocre knives (half of which you'll never use), you can create your own set of Test Kitchen all stars.
Overview:
This “all-star” set of test kitchen favorites (all best-in-class winners in past tests) fits neatly into our favorite universal knife block by Bodum, designed to hold any variety of blades securely in its nest of plastic sticks. Best of all, at $334.65, this ideal collection costs less than many prepackaged knife block sets.
(For an even less expensive option, a seven-piece collection that includes Best Buys can be had for just $189.95. See related testing.)
