The Way To A Cook’s Heart Is With A Knife… A post from Todd!
But, which knife? When Erin and I fell in love, she suspiciously encouraged my interest in cooking…luring me first with expensive pots and pans, and then came…the knives. As an aspiring cook, I have to admit that the feel of cutting through a broccoli stalk with a sharp knife has a certain satisfaction to it. Erin bought me Henckel knives (the “Pro” Series) and that’s the key. The “Pro” Series have a lifetime warranty. I must admit…I have been rough on them. But even so, the shining implements of severage (Editor’s note: is that word? If not, it should be.) are now battered and chipped . I returned them to Henckel for repair according to the warranty, and they replaced all seven knives with new ones.
Here’s the killer: one of the knives was actually a Wusthof–Henckel didn’t even make it–and Henckel’s customer service shipped that knife to their competitor for me. When is the last time you had service like that?
This holiday, when you’re presenting a gift to the one who cooks for you, remember that the cheapest one isn’t always a bargain. Some things are worth investing in. Give them a knife that’ll make you meals as long as you live.
Thank me later…Todd
