Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of KitchenAid Cook For The Cure 5-Piece Cutlery Prep Set, Pink
Customer Review: Great Basic Set of Knives
Summary: 5 Stars
I did a lot of research before I bought a knife set, and the KitchenAid knives seemed to have the best "bang for the buck." I will say that if you're looking for a "do-it-all" set of knives, this isn't it...BUT if you don't require the perfect knife for every job or have very little space for a larger knife set, this is a great little set. We've been using these knives for a little over a month now. I was thoroughly impressed with these knives from the moment we took them out of the box. I had only had a cheap set we had gotten for our wedding YEARS ago. While they still "worked," the blades were flimsy and flexible and starting to show their age (rusting, spots, etc). Wanting a good set that didn't break the bank, I decided to try these our because they had some of the basic knives of the larger set, but didn't have the high price of the full-sized set. I wasn't willing to spend the money on the larger set without trying them out first...which led me to purchase this set.
I love the weight of the knives. They're much heavier than my cheap [who knows what brand they are] knives, without being too heavy and awkward to use. The blades are not flimsy and cut through whatever I tried with little problem. The handles were very comfortable...although time will tell if the silicone handles hold up to use and washing. I have not put these into the dishwasher...as the care instructions suggest hand-washing, so I don't know how they react to that process. The block is also sturdy and looks very nice on my counter.
The only problems I have encountered so far is that I have had a bit of "water" spotting on the blades, mainly because I got distracted and didn't wash them right away after use...as will happen with most people from time to time. The bread knife was also a bit difficult to wash as it kept wanting to tear whatever I used to wash it (sponge, scrubby-pad, cloth). But I have had similar problems with other serrated knives...these serrations are deeper, so I would naturally assume that washing them would be a little more difficult. However, these problems are not worth giving this little set less than 5 stars.
Like I said, this set is not meant to be a full set for the gourmet kitchen, but a basic utility set for someone who doesn't need the perfect knife for every job, or doesn't have a lot of space for the larger knife block. For the price, the quality is akin to the more expensive knife sets. After purchasing this set, I'm definitely ready to invest the money in the larger set. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to find the larger set in pink. :-)
