Whether you are a good chef, amateur cook or a novice in the kitchen unless you live on takeaways or someone else prepares ALL your food, we all need to spend time in the kitchen preparing snacks and meals, from sandwiches to full-blown Sunday roasts. That means having the correct equipment. Apart from cutlery and a cooker, another essential piece of kitchen equipment is sharp knives for every day food preparation. The Amazon Basics Kitchen Knife Set is a 12-piece kitchen knife set (6 knives and 6 matching knife covers), and is a perfect and colourful quirky fun addition to any kitchen.
The Amazon Basics Kitchen Knife Set comes with 6 different colour knives with matching covers and are more than just a colourful addition to any kitchen. The different colours are not only pleasing to the eye and liven up the kitchen but also help in preventing cross-contamination during food preparation (as you can keep track of what colour knife is being used with what food). The blade covers also make them much safer when storing sharp knives in a drawer.
This set includes all the essential knives needed for various kitchen tasks, from slicing bread to chopping vegetables, making it a versatile toolkit for both novice cooks and seasoned chefs. Each knife is crafted with durable stainless-steel blades that provide a sharp, precise cut, ensuring your ingredients are prepared neatly and efficiently. They are all coated with a nonstick colour coating helps prevent food from sticking to the blade for faster, easier cutting.
Set includes:
- Paring Knife (3.5” / 8.9cm)
- Utility Knife (5” / 12.7cm)
- Santoku Knife (7” / 17.8cm)
- Carving Knife (8” / 20.3cm)
- Chef’s Knife (8” / 20.3cm)
- Serrated Bread Knife (8” / 20.3cm)
- Matching colour blade cover for each knife
Overall, the Amazon Basics Kitchen Knife Set is a good quality set of kitchen knives for all your food preparation tasks. They all have ergonomically designed handles to give a very comfortable grip which makes them nice to hold and use, and helps to reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use.
The different colour coding of the knives makes them much easier to find in the drawer and will also help to prevent cross-contamination of food when preparing lots of different foods at the same time.
I love the matching blade covers. This set of knives do not come with a knife block so will be stored in a drawer. The blade covers ensure safety in the drawer as you won’t cut your fingers when searching through the drawer for the correct knife – and we have all done that at some point! The covers also preserves the blades’ sharpness when not in use and put in the drawer (the blade won’t be dulled by banging against other items).
I love this set of knives. They are bright and colourful. I love that they are safe to store, but most importantly, they feel very good quality and do an excellent job of cutting through what they need to from bread to meat. The nonstick coating stops food sticking to them and they are very easy to clean (although they are not dishwasher safe).
For home cooks, this is a budget-friendly, good quality kitchen knife set. It has everything you need for all your day-to-day food preparation tasks. And the fun colourful blades look great in any kitchen. Very sharp, easy and comfortable to use, easy to clean and safe to store in a crowded kitchen drawer.
