If you cook a lot like me, you appreciate having kitchen items that are top notch and produce great results. I believe that quality food starts with quality tools. It's frustrating to use dull tools that hurt your food, rather than help it. Make sure that you have the sharpest knives to slice, dice, and chop the ingredients needed in your dishes.
Hampton Forge is passionate about enhancing dining and entertaining by creating flatware, cutlery and accessories of artistic excellence, material quality and value. They produce gorgeous flatware in styles that will please everyone. Their knives are sharp, quality made, and long lasting. If you're looking to update your kitchen, Hampton Forge is your go-to brand.
I received the opportunity to review three Hampton Forge printed paring knives, I was looking forward to it. I use paring knives to peel fruits and veggies, and also to chop small items. A paring knife should be an essential item in everyone's kitchen.
What I like most about these knives is that they are perfect to use for the rest of the summer. Each knife features a summer fruit; red tomatoes, green apples, and citrus oranges. They are very cute. The colors on the knives are bright and they are full of personality. I've always had plain black paring knives, so I welcome anything to bring color and fun to my kitchen and meal prep.
The knives are very sharp and worked effortlessly to help me chop a small piece of garlic and cut up an orange. Of course I used the orange knife on the orange! The knives are fairly large and the handle is long and comfortable to hold and grip while using them. The dishwasher-safe and high-grade stainless steel shell non-stick coating offers ease in meal preparation safety, with its matching blade guards that maintain product sharpness while in storage. The knives also come with a 30-year warranty. If you have small children around, the blade guards are the perfect way to keep curious hands away from sharp objects.
I'm very satisfied with the knives so far. They would make a great gift for a college student or someone who just moved into a new apartment or house. Why not help in bringing fun to someone's kitchen?

I need knew paring knives because mine are rusted and really cheaply made
ReplyDeleteshilobeedy@gmail.com
Honestly, I received a set of ceramic knives for mother's day and I have a family that can't seem to grasp that they really are ceramic. You just can't cut into bone with them. So, yes ... it so happens I really do need paring knives and these are so cute.
