What brands of knife blocks and sets does House carry?
House offers a wide array of knife blocks and sets from leading brands such as Baccarat, Furi Pro, Wusthof, and many others, ensuring high-quality options for every cook.
What types of knife sets are available at House?
Our selection ranges from small 3-piece starter sets, ideal for those new to cooking or with limited space, up to larger multi-piece sets that include a variety of knives to cover every possible kitchen task.
How do I choose the right knife set for my needs?
Consider the types of meals you typically prepare and look for a set that includes the essential knives you'll use most often. A basic set should consist of a chef's knife, a paring knife, and a serrated knife. For more elaborate cooking, consider sets with additional specialty knives.
Can I find specialty knives in these sets?
Yes, many of our sets include specialty knives, such as Santoku knives, carving knives, and more, designed for specific tasks to make food preparation more accessible and more efficient.
Are there any safety features included with your knife blocks?
Many of our knife blocks are designed with safety in mind, featuring slots that securely hold each knife in place to prevent accidents. Additionally, the construction and materials of the blocks ensure stability on your countertop.
Can I put my knives in the dishwasher?
While some manufacturers claim their knives are dishwasher safe, hand washing is strongly recommended to preserve the life and sharpness of your knives. Dishwasher detergents can be harsh and dull the knife’s edge over time. Additionally, the motion inside a dishwasher can cause knives to knock against other items, damaging the blades.
How often should I replace my kitchen knives?
With proper care and maintenance, high-quality kitchen knives can last many years. Replace your knives if they are damaged, have significant wear, or no longer hold an edge even after sharpening.
How do I maintain my knives to keep them sharp and in good condition?
To maintain your knives, hand wash them with mild dish soap and dry them immediately to prevent rusting. Use knife sharpeners regularly to maintain the knife's edges and have them professionally sharpened once a year — sharp knives are placed in a block or magnetic strip to protect the edges.
How do I prevent my knives from rusting?
Keep your knives dry and clean. Stainless steel knives are less prone to rusting, but care should still be taken. If rust spots appear, use a mild abrasive, like baking soda, to remove them gently.
How do I safely store my knives?
Safely store your knives in a knife block or on a magnetic knife strip away from the reach of children. Ensure the blades are completely dry before storing to prevent rust. Avoid storing knives loosely in drawers, as this can damage the blades and pose a safety risk.
A great meal starts with the right ingredients and the perfect tools. With our curated collection of knife blocks and sets, House is here to ensure that you're well-equipped for any culinary challenge. Explore our range today and discover the joy of cooking with the best knives.
