The Knives Set to Impress
Time to make your kitchen chores a breeze. The McCook kitchen knives block set will impress you with its quality – and let you sharpen the blades right on the spot.
This knives set can be proudly called a comprehensive one. Cutting, chopping, dicing or slicing will be fast and smooth with the durable and perfectly sharp German kitchen knives.
This set comes with 20 pieces, including a chef knife, bread knife, santoku knife, and many more. McCook makes sure that you’ll have one for every kitchen need. All knives are hollow-handle and made from high carbon stainless steel (420J2). Naturally, they are also rust-resistant.
Now, let’s take a look at the steak block that is included in the package. Its main advantage is that you can detach it from the main block and move to the dining area. In general, taking out any knife will be a piece of cake for you. The only issue with the wooden stand is that it could be more durable.
No problem at all with taking care of the set. The knives as well as the block are very easy to clean. Mind, though, that you must not wash these knives in the dishwasher. Don’t forget to clean and dry them at once after washing them by hand.
Fit for Every Purpose
Cutting food with a dull knife is an ordeal. With the McCook set, you won’t have to run around looking for fitting sharpening steel. The main block has a slot to bring the knives’ blades to perfection. All you need to do is put the knife into a slot and start working on it.
But don’t worry; you’ll only need to do that after a good deal of using these durable knives. As the edges are tapered, they are very sharp and last that way 3 times longer.
Moving on to the specific knives from the set, the 8" chef knife and 7" santoku knife are easily your best kitchen assistant. The chef’s knife has a wider blade, which is perfect for chopping and dicing fruit, vegetables, proteins, and herbs. The santoku knife is thinner and will help you slice and dice carrots, cucumbers, onions – or just about anything prepared in small pieces.
Pizza lovers will certainly enjoy working with a 4.5" pizza knife from the set. It can easily cut even the most resilient pizza, so you’ll forget all about your old kitchen knives. Also, the 5" cheese knife is ideal for slicing through cheese with no effort.
Overall, this German knives set by McCook will be an impressive addition to your kitchenware.

Food Cutting made Easy
It often happens that we are reluctant to cook some dishes due to the tiresome process of ingredients preparation. Especially when it comes to some complex or exquisite recipes engaging a lot of peeling, cutting, carving, mincing, dicing, etc. This is where a good knife or a well-thought set of knives can become a real game-changer and make the food preparation tasks you dislike a lot easier. And a knife set from Cuisinart is just the one in point.
All the knives in this set are distinguished by a one-piece forged construction that stands out for durability, robustness, and truly long service life since it’s resistant to damages and breakage and is meant for extensive use on a regular basis. Both the handle and the blade are made of high-carbon stainless steel which is one of the strongest and most solid materials the best knives are made of. Precision-tapered blades hold fine, sharp edge for pretty long, ergonomically shaped handles ensure comfort while cutting and bolsters are designed for improved control and stability. Additionally, this set is rather eye-catching due to metallic iridescence and will add a touch of modern style to your kitchen.
Speaking of the functionality, this superb kitchen knife set includes 15 items for different applications. Whether you tend to use bigger knives with hefty handles and wider blades or prefer mid-size or smaller knives with narrower blades and pointed edges, there is something for any taste. You’ll get an 8" chef knife, 8" slicing knife, 7" Santoku knife, 5.5" serrated utility knife, 3.5" paring knife, and a 3.5" Bird's beak paring knife. With this set, you will be able to chop meat and fish, grate different ingredients, slice ham and cheese for platters, peel off fruit and vegetables, and more.
With Usability in the Focus
Along with kitchen knives and 6 elegant steak knives, the Cuisinart set comes complete with a pair of household shear, a sharpener, and a wooden block. An 8'' sharpener will help you keep your knives as sharp as possible. Therefore, cutting through the toughest food would be a piece of cake. All-purpose household shears would also come in good stead. With this item, you can cut off a fishtail effortlessly or open some packages without tearing them. As regards the knife holder, it is made of wood and painted black to add some style to the whole construction. The block is rather solid and heavy, so you'll not turn it over when pulling out knives. You should also remember that the knives require hand wash only, otherwise, the blades may become dull pretty quickly.
To round things up, if you seek to facilitate food preparation, be sure that Cuisinart 15-piece knife block set will become an efficient helping hand for many kitchen needs and take the strain off out of numerous cutting tasks.

What Is a Knife Set?
A cooking process is an integral part of our life. Some people perceive it as a routine while others turn this process into art. All in all, the main goal we are all trying to achieve is to prepare tasty meals. And the key to succeeding in this is to use the right tools. You may ask any professional chef, and they will tell you that it is way easier to prepare a restaurant-quality meal if you have a set of high-quality knives. Without one, you'd have to spend more time and put in more effort to achieve perfection. So, if you want to hone your culinary skills and start cooking like a pro, you should definitely get yourself a set of knives.
You may wonder why choose the whole set if you could just buy a chef's knife? Well, of course, we really are not pursuing you to buy what you don't need, but the advantages are obvious! For one, the price of the whole set is usually much cheaper than if you bought each knife separately. And for two, you get more tools, which means you will be able to prepare more meals as well!
Obviously, even the best kitchen knives will dull over time, so it's essential to invest in a good sharpener as well. And if you often go on camping trips with your relatives or friends, you may be interested in purchasing a multi-tool.
What Features to Compare
Functionality
The modern market offers a wide variety of knives designed to serve different purposes. Which is why it's important to consider what functions you want your knife to perform before selecting one.
When it comes to knife sets, decide whether you want it to include any other pieces besides knives and how much you're willing to pay for it. Of course, with such a range of products available, it might be quite difficult to decide which set is best for you. But generally, most modern sets of knives come including the following pieces: an all-purpose utility knife, a chef's knife, a Santoku knife, a bread knife, a carving knife, a cheese knife, steak knives, paring knives, pizza knives etc.
All of these knives serve their own purpose and will come in handy when cooking first-class meals.
Construction
Next, it's important to consider how durable and reliable the knife's construction is. Most knives are made either of stainless steel, high-carbon stainless steel or ceramic. Let's see how these materials differ.
Stainless steel is usually more affordable; the downside of it is that it dulls quicker and requires more frequent sharpening.
High-carbon stainless steel knives are more durable. For one, they remain sharp longer and for two, they are highly susceptible to rust, making their maintenance a cinch.
Ceramic knives are on par with high-carbon stainless steel knives in terms of sharpness. But unlike them, they warp and break easily.
In addition to the difference in material, knives can have a different design: there are stamped and forged options to choose from. If you don't have a limited budget, we recommend you choose from forged knives since they are more durable and will not fall apart even with years of regular use. Stamped models are not a bad choice either, but they require more careful handling and should be hand-washed.
The material of the handle is essential as well. Although stainless steel looks good and is overall more durable, it does tend to slip in wet hands, so it may not suit for some cutting jobs. The same can be said about knives with wooden handles. These tend to rub the skin if used for a prolonged time, making your experience less comfortable. Plastic handles don't look expensive, but they require low maintenance, and they are easier to grip.
Usability
By this, we mean the ability to store all the pieces of the set in one comfy and safe place. So, consider what type of block comes included with your set. It should look good to blend in with the rest of your kitchen gadgets and it should not take up much space. Plus, this block should not accumulate water to prevent bacteria from spreading inside. Just like knives, storage blocks come in a variety of sizes and styles so it should be quite easy for you to pick one that will meet your requirements best.
