Investing in an Anolon Set for Your Kitchen
Anolon, previously respected because of its quality cookware line, has branched out into knife manufacturing. According to the company’s website, all of their products are designed to perform effectively for a lifetime and please the eye, two characteristics that we may assume are present in any set, such as the Anolon Advanced 15 Piece Knife Block Set.
Product Range
Anolon makes three categories within its knife section – Advanced Cutlery, Advanced Bronze Cutlery and Advanced Stainless Steel Cutlery. It seems that Anolon hopes that the word, “advanced” will help the knives to sound better than the products of other companies prior to anybody actually using the knives. Whatever the reason for the name, Anolon has 19 knife sets available, all the way from the 15-piece collections to the single knives, and with a universal sharpener added for good measure.
Since a knife is only as durable as its blade, Anolon knives use choice German steel. The Advanced Collection features carbon steel, the Bronze Collection is made from high-carbon stainless steel and the Stainless Steel Collection is made of stainless steel, a distinction that might be confusing to a customer who merely wishes to buy knives without being concerned about metallurgy. For those of you who care, you could distinguish the categories by the knife handles – black for Advanced, brown for Bronze and silver for Stainless Steel.
Advantages
The Anolon blades are forged, not cold rolled, and that form of fabrication produces better density, flexibility and hardness for the metal. As you would expect, a denser and more flexible cutting blade should be easier and safer to chop with, and the blade can also maintain its sharpness longer.
Yes, Anolon knives are produced in China. Nonetheless, their workmanship appears as though it is first-rate, especially concerning the quality of the blades when pulled from the package. The price of this brand of knives cannot be beat either, seeing as you can purchase near-premium knives without paying high prices.
Other useful benefits of buying the 15-piece sets consist of the durable bamboo knife block with its slot labels and a spare slot for an old favorite knife and also Anolon’s handy knife sharpener. For specialized knives, you could take advantage of the protective sheath that comes with every purchase.
All in all, an Anolon knife set is a good value for your money, seeing as not a lot of it will be required.
Disadvantages
There are just a couple of things to take issue with concerning Anolon knives. Yet, those things are worth bringing up because you prefer to be aware of all the facts before putting down your hard-earned money on any kitchenware.
To start with, the bamboo blocks can arrive in less-than-sterling condition. There have been reports of the metal labels being oxidized and the wood itself being black instead of the beautiful brown you’ll see advertized. Additionally, the rubber handles seem to flake off in places, especially when you scrape them. It might be due to natural wear and tear, but it will be a reason for annoyance at first.
Plus, you need to sharpen these knives at the end of every use to preserve them in ideal shape, and Anolon knives are not exactly dishwasher compatible. In case you’re the use-toss-replace kind of consumer, these Anolon knives will present a challenge. A great set to consider is the Anolon Advanced 15 Piece Knife Block Set.
Although, given all the information, an Anolon knife set is a good cutlery set for your kitchen. It coordinates easily with most other kitchen items, it provides knives that hold their cutting surface for a decade or two, and can be stored safely.
