Wusthof Gourmet Kitchen Essentials Set, 6 piece

Cutting Boards & Accessories - Wusthof presents a best-of selection of popular Wusthof cooking tools to save you time and hassles in your own kitchen. The Wusthof Gourmet 6-Piece Kitchen Essentials Set includes a Gourmet 4" utility knife, slotted spatula and kitchen shears, plus a waiter's corkscrew, bamboo cutting board and a 2-stage manual sharpener. Wusthof Gourmet cutlery is the premier choice of culinary chefs and precisely cut from a single sheet of high-carbon stainless-steel, then precision-stamped and perfected with laser-edge technology. New Precision Edge Technology (PEtec) has increased sharpness by 20% with twice the edge retention. Triple-riveted to the full tang, the 4" utility knife allows a comfortable grip and superb performance. The sturdy blade of the slotted spatula easily drains unwanted grease and drippings from fried, grilled and sauteed foods. The come-apart kitchen shears in the Wusthof 6-piece kitchen essentials set feature bevel- and serrated-edge blades of high-carbon stainless-steel to cut apart chicken, snip herbs and cut parchment paper. Using the adjustable gripper teeth below the handles, the shears also open jar lids and bottle caps. The shears handles pull apart to clean or sharpen blades. The 6-piece kitchen utensil set's solid bamboo cutting board is perfectly sized for cutting cheese, meats and other snack foods with smooth efficiency. Made of bamboo, a naturally-renewable and highly-sustainable resource, the compact board protects both your worktop and your knife's cutting edge. The Wusthof waiter's corkscrew offers an anti-slip coating and an elongated lever for fast and simple opening of wine bottles. The fold-down wine accessory includes a foil cutter with a hardened steel wheel that smoothly slices through the foil. The manual knife sharpener's first stage carbide slot (coarse) resets a dull blade and the second stage ceramic slot (fine) finishes the edge to a honed, polished sharpness. Hand wash cutlery.

Use and Care Your cutlery in the Wusthof 6-piece kitchen essentials set should be hand washed. Simply wipe the knife and spatula clean with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately. Dry from the knife handle toward the blade. Your kitchen shears come apart for thorough sanitation and easily locks back into place. Wipe the cutting board clean after each use and dry thoroughly. Lightly apply mineral oil to condition the bamboo board. If the corkscrew needs cleaning, simple wipe with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. To prevent slight tarnishing of stainless-steel, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blades after use. If blades should show some signs of staining, clean with a nonabrasive metal polish. To maintain each tool's cutting edge, sharpen as needed using the 2-stage sharpener. It is best to store your 6-piece kitchen utensil set in a knife block or in-drawer knife tray. Sharpener Instructions Use the 2-stage manual sharpener periodically to maintain a sharp edge on your knives. Place the knife sharpener on a flat work surface. Hold the sharpener with one hand as indicated and the knife handle with the other. Insert knife blade fully into the slot at 90-degree angle to the sharpener. Apply moderate downward pressure on the blade while pulling the knife toward you through the appropriate notch. Repeat this action, always pulling the blade from head to tip (never back and forth) through either the carbide or the ceramic notch. Note: The first stage carbide (coarse) resets a dull blade. The second stage ceramic (fine) provides a honed, razor sharp edge. A reasonably sharp knife may only require this light honing. No lubrication is required. Always clean the exterior of the knife sharpener after every use. Wipe with a damp cloth or mild brush and wipe dry. Do not use detergents or abrasive cleaners. Do not rinse with water.
