What comes to mind when food comes into the picture? Eating, eating and more eating. If dreams were wishes, we’d want a personal chef to do all the food preparation and cooking for us.
Cooking is not just about preparing food. It represents the euphoria and the magical moments, the small kitchen disasters and the epic triumphs, the buzz of adrenaline coursing through your veins. Cooking is an approach to life and as such, you need the right knives to perform the right culinary task!
And how should you enjoy that moment of dicing your first onion to slicing that turkey for your Christmas dinner? With the Wusthof Epicure Carving knife, of course! But that’s not the only type of knife carried by Wusthof. We promise you, there are more!
Wusthof is one of the prominent knife brands in the world that is family-owned and operated. The Wusthof line of products are known to be a backbone in kitchens around the world due to their unique features and resilience. The business has been delivering excellence for over 200 years.
With the introduction of the Epicure line, top chefs worldwide and people who love to cook like you and me can continue to expect a combination of precision and experience at the right price.
The Epicure combines the efficiency and lightness of Japanese knives with German quality and safety, resulting in a knife that works with all cooking styles. It is a prime example of function and performance that has been optimised for ergonomic use in the kitchen from the tip of the blade right down to the handle.
Characteristics of the Wusthof Epicure Line
The Epicure line of knives are designed for innovation and precision, making them the most technically-advanced kitchen cutlery in the Western world. A number of premium features stand out with this line of products:
- Recycled Wood Fiber Handles
The handles of each knife in this collection are made from recycled wood fibers, enhancing the comfort and natural feel in your hands.
The arc at the spine of the knife is consistent and continuous, and ends with a steeper curve at the tip of the blade.
All the Epicure knives have a ceramic coating which offers protection for the blade and prevents food from sticking to the surface of the knife. This makes chopping and dicing faster and easier.
The blade is designed to be slightly wider than the Wusthof Classic line of knives, which provides more clearance when in use.
- “Roomy” Handles for Ease of Use
Each handle is designed to feel “roomy” for those with large hands, and help to reduce fatigue when spending long hours in the kitchen.
The Unveiling of the Epicure Line
The Paring Knife
Precision kitchen prep in a breeze!
This handy knife is suitable for delicate kitchen jobs like paring, cutting, coring, peeling, garnishing, and pitting foods that are too small for a full chef’s knife to manoeuver around.
You get excellent blade control with the paring knife which comes in handy while de-veining a prawn. The paring knife is available in 9 cm.
The Utility Knife
Like the paring knife, the utility allows for smaller tasks where precision is needed. An extension of the blade to 12cm provides that bit of extra length where it is needed.
The Sausage Knife
Slice and dice with the serrated sausage knife!
From slicing deli meats for sandwiches to mincing fresh herbs for a spaghetti dinner. You just can’t go wrong with this sturdy sausage knife!
Its serrated edge can cut through tough-skinned foods like bread, tomatoes, sausages, and cheese - and still getting a clean slice. The sausage knife is available in 14 cm.
The Cook’s Knife
The knife that conquers all your kitchen challenges!
From slicing potatoes to disassembling large portions of meat, the cook’s knife can handle just about anything. You can even prepare julienned carrots for your refreshing salad!
It’s a high quality knife for top chefs and anyone who enjoys cooking, with a handle for hands of all sizes. The cook’s knife is available in 16 cm, 20 cm, and 24 cm.
The Carving Knife
The specialist for thin slices of everything!
The long, narrow blade is great for producing thin slices of ham, roasted meats and fish. The wider part lets you transport slices from the platter to your guests’ plates with ease.
The fine and precise tip can pierce through tough roasts before the slicing begins. You can even use it to prepare salmon carpaccio! The carving knife is available in 23 cm.
The Bread Knife
Tough crusts? No problem. This knife’s got you covered!
Your struggle with a French baguette is real. But the double-serrated edge of the bread knife can help you with that while keeping the soft, fluffy insides of the bread intact.
It can even cut through foods with hard shells! Think melons, cabbages and pineapples. Worry not, this knife has got your back! The bread knife is available in 23 cm.
The Santoku
An extremely versatile all-rounder in the kitchen!
This Japanese chef’s knife named after three applications in the kitchen: slicing, dicing and chopping. It is superbly handy during the preparation of meat, fish and vegetables.
The Santoku knife is similar to the cook’s knife, with strengths that apply more towards the tasks of chopping and cutting fish, meats and vegetables.
It is an extremely versatile blade with indentations that create air pockets as you slice ingredients, allowing wet and starchy food to slide away instead of sticking to the blade.
The wide belly of the knife comes in handy when scooping up the slices from the chopping board into the pan. The Santoku is available in 17 cm.
The Cook’s Knife, Half Bolster
The jack-of-all-trades in a lighter half-bolster design!
If you want more blade control and maneuverability but with the same amount of versatility as a full chef’s knife, then the half-bolster cook’s knife is the tool for you.
ts you use the entire blade when cutting and is useful when it comes to sharpening your knife. The half-bolster cook’s knife is available in 16 cm and 20 cm.
The Epicure line is a refreshing addition to the F&B industry due to its thicker blade and front-weighted design for faster cutting and chopping in the kitchen. It even has a ceramic coating that protects the blades and prevents food from sticking to the surface.
You will enjoy prep work and cooking even more when a knife feels like it belongs in your hand. It is a result of the handle's ergonomic design that ensures your hand doesn’t cramp or get tired after long hours of using it.
That’s why at Everten, we prefer that you choose the knife because a knife like this will give you a whole new level of appreciation for knives.
