We enjoy trying new kitchen gadgets. Some are great. Some don’t measure up and some become staples in our kitchen. See what you think.
No piece of equipment is more important in the kitchen than a good set of knives. Ergo Chef knives were created in 2002 by two brothers, one a chef and one an engineer. They set out to construct a knife that would comfortably fit into a chef’s hand during chopping while minimizing the stress on the wrist. These knives are ergonomically designed.We tested the 8-inch Crimson SH (straight-handle) Chef Knife. It is weighted beautifully to aid in the chopping motion. It has a crimson, wood grain handle that looks like real wood but is actually made of fiberglass resin material which does not require the care of a wood handle. The blade is formed from German no-stain steel with hollow grounds that create air pockets between the blade and food to prevent sticking and allow for smoother, faster cuts. The knife retails for $82.99 and would make a great addition to any kitchen.
