THE KITCHEN EQUIPMENT I CAN'T COOK WITHOUT

NOT ALL KNIVES AND FORKS CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME. AND NOT ALL PESTLES ARE EQUAL. FIVE CHEFS TALK TOOLS, WAXING LYRICAL OVER THE STURDY, WELL-LOVED INSTRUMENTS THEY'VE HAD FOR YEARS, BUT COULD NEVER GIVE UP.Being a chef for as long as I have, I've seen all different kinds of culinary fads come and go. For myself, an essential tool in any kitchen would be a set of wooden-handled knives. My worn but trustworthy set of old wooden-handled Victorinox or Messermeister blades have accompanied me through my travels around the world for the past 30 years. They bring such ease and comfort when cooking and have stood the test of time. I could not work without them. I've collected hundreds of knives of all shapes andsizes, experiencing an array of brands, and still to this day find that my good old blades outdo even the most expensive forged blades. I always smile when I see young cooks with their luxury forged knives (usually blunt), while mine looks very used andbruised but gets the job done.
