ANOLON® ADVANCED
CUTLERY
So many knives....and
not enough time to use them all! The pricing, as you may have noticed when
shopping for quality kitchen knives, can be very daunting if you don't have a
lot of disposable income. If that is the case, then you just have to take
a look at the Anolon Advanced Cutlery collection!
Made of high quality
stain and rust-resistant German carbon steel, these knives are
expertly forged to stay sharp for a cleaner cut. The forged tang construction
(blade extends into the handle) , and the comfortable ergonomically shaped SureGrip™
handles made of non-slip Santoprene®
provide a confident grip for a myriad of food preparation tasks. Adding to the
innovative designed handle is a stainless steel cap on the end of the handle
offering optimal weight and balance. These knives offer exceptional quality and
durability at very affordable prices.
Anolon Advanced also
offers two styles of sharpeners:
| 10-inch two stage
Diamond Sharpener is designed in the form of a traditional honing steel and
features a rough first stage surface of diamond-coated disks to use occasionally
on your knives to sharpen straight or serrated-edged knives. |
 |
| Universal Sharpener
with a 3-stage Wet Stone: uses three different sets of progressively coarser
ceramic steels inside a water chamber for honing blades after each use or to
sharpen an overly dull knife. The sturdy cover that sits atop the water
chamber incorporates three guides that sit above each ceramic steel, ensuring
that the knife is pulled through at the correct angle to obtain a sharp cutting
edge on your knives. |

The following are my
favorite knives to have on hand for a multitude of cutting tasks and yes, you
can add other Anolon Advanced Cutlery knives to your collection as your knife
skills expand to knowing how to bone a chicken and other culinary tasks, but if
you have only these four knives (and one pair of kitchen shears), you will be
able to perform the most widely used knife skills such as chopping, slicing,
dicing and paring/peeling. All open stock Anolon knives come with a
protective sheath for safe storage in a drawer.
| 8" Chef Knife -
my favorite size of the most utilized knife of home cooks and professionals
- also available in 4-inch, 6-inch and 10-inch blade sizes. |
 |
| 3˝" Parer -
peeling is a breeze with this parer which acts as an extention
of your hand when peeling an apple or trimming the stems off string
beans. Actually, you may want to buy two of these. |
 |
| 9" Bread (serrated)
Slices soft or crusty breads and
delicate pastries such as croissants with ease. The serrated blade can also
slice fresh tomatoes. |
 |
| 8" Slicer (with
hollow ground edge) Slicing a turkey breast or baked ham into thin slices
without tearing or shredding the meat is what this knife does best - also good
at slicing a block of firm cheese. |
 |
| 6" Utility - the
name says it all - a narrow blade that slices cleanly through a sandwich or
anything else you need to slice through. |
 |
| Forged Kitchen Shears
- the curved shape with a serrated lower blade is helpful when cutting a
chicken into parts - I'd have two of these on hand - one for cutting poultry and
other raw meats and one for other kitchen cutting needs. |

There is a Lifetime Limited Warranty on
all Anolon Advanced Cutlery.
