Why it Pays to Invest in Commercial-Grade Knives Versus Store-Bought
You love to cook and there is nothing quite as satisfying as the look of delight on your loved ones’ faces when they take that first bite of a new recipe.
However, today’s bustling society makes it more and more difficult to find the time to cook in the home. Your knives may well be adding to the problem and it may be time to replace them with a better option.
Your knives may well be adding to the problem and it may be time to replace them with a better option. Commercial knives are stronger and sharper and allow you to handle anything your next recipe might throw at you.
Therefore, there are more than a few reasons you might want to replace your kitchen knives with something altogether better.
It Is An Investment
When you look at specialty knife sets, you likely look at the price first and then walk away without buying anything. After all, you already have knives in your home for a more affordable price.
However, those lower-quality knives lose their edge after just a few uses and they are likely to break at the worst moment.
We eat lots of meat and having the right tools is so important especially when you love to cook as we do. Making sure you have the right tools for easy cutting is so important. My husband always buys large quantities of meat and prefers to cut them to our particular needs.
Commercial knives are built to last out of materials that keep their edges better than any run-of-the-mill knife you could buy for a few dollars. Unless you invest in better and more versatile food cutters, your experience in the kitchen may begin to suffer.
You deserve the chance to enjoy high-quality delicious meals that were fast and simple to put together and a new knife can help you make that happen. Though the price may appear high at first, the money you save never having to replace them will more than make up for it.
Fitting Your Needs
Professional food cutters come in a variety of lengths, styles, and weights and finding the right one for you means trying them out. Find a local kitchen supply store and ask to test drive some of their knives.
By doing so, you find a knife that sits well in your hand and is simple to use. From there, you can purchase the options that you need for your kitchen and completely remove your old useless knives.
Safety
Sharp sturdy knives are far safer than dull knives, making a new commercial-grade option the best choice due to its ability to hold an edge for longer.
The truth is that you do not have to have amazing skills to handle an exceptionally sharp knife. Simply being careful and taking your time until you have mastered a new technique will typically keep your hands and fingers protected.
When you slice, chop, cut, or dice with a dull knife, you are statistically far more likely to slip and cut yourself.
Sharp knives make exact cuts and get through tough items such as carrots, onions, and meat with no issue. If you have to force a knife through an apple, you risk it jumping out and cutting you once it does reach the other side.
Faster Food Preparation
The average home chef will tell you that the most frustrating thing about cooking is the time it takes just getting ingredients ready to start. Chopping onions, cutting up lettuce, slicing tomatoes, and more takes a crucial time that you may not have to lose if you use a commercial option.
These sharper and more efficient knives cut down on time spent dramatically, making it faster and simpler to create delicious healthy meals at home. Using effective tools will also improve your knife skills over time if you are new to cooking and want to make it a regular hobby.
I notice a huge difference in the way my recipes turn out with professional knives versus store-bought. Commercial knives last for years and years as well and are overall a much better investment.
For me, one of the most frustrating parts of cooking is in the prep-work and these knives are truly a time-saver for sure! Everything seems to turn out better and I’m so much more productive!
