Whether you fancy yourself the next Ina Garten or are just happy with yourself for not burning that grilled cheese sandwich, investing in quality cooking gadgets and tools, like cookware sets or immersion blenders for soups and sauces can change everything. A good set of knives is a great place to start and can make all the difference in terms of safety and efficiency. Have you ever cut a tomato with a subpar, dull knife? It’s nearly impossible.
Buying a solid set of kitchen knives, even if you are the most casual cook, will make the most mundane tasks, like daily food prep, easier and more enjoyable. On Amazon, you can find trusted brands, like J.A. Henckles International and Cuisinart, as well as knives crafted from Japanese and German steel. You can also choose to invest in an entire set for a full range of knives or can slowly build up your collection with a few essential knife shapes. In fact, these sets may even inspire you to stop buying the pre-chopped fruit at Whole Foods – though we won’t judge if they don’t.
From supersharp knife block sets to a gilded trio to complement your cheese plate spread, here are our favorite picks for all your slicing and dicing needs, all on Amazon. Chop chop. (Had to).
