Cutco Cutlery Product Review

Synopsis

I love my Cutco. I think they're a fantastic product and I will never again have cheap knives. They're overpriced though. I don't suggest buying them at full price. Instead, put a set together through eBay. They're still expensive there, but not quite as bad.

Here are some of my favorite Cutco cutlery pieces:

Cutco Spatula Spreader

This is Cutco's most unique piece. It can cut like a knife, but it also bends. So when you make brownies, you can slide it under the brownies and lift your piece up. I've only used the spatula spreader for desserts, but I haven't found a knife elsewhere that serves this function.

Cutco Petite Carver

There's nothing petite about this piece of cutlery. Cutco has a non-petite carver, which is even bigger, but I don't see why you'd need any bigger than the petite carver. I don't make turkeys or roasts very often, but when I do, this knife makes me look like a professional cook. Those big things can be impossible to cut up otherwise, but the petite carver makes it easy. Even if I buy a pre-cooked chicken at the grocery, I use the petite carver to dice up my meat in minutes.

Cutco Turning Fork

This combines with the petite carver and is just as necessary to carve up your turkeys, chickens, and roasts. The fork is oversized and holds the meet in place while you the petite carver cuts. Then you use the fork and put the meat slice on a plate. They have two different kinds of forks, but I don't see why you'd need more than one.

Cutco Slicer

The slicer is as all-purpose as cutlery gets. Most people try to use my slicer for everything, and I have to remind them that there are other knives in the set that are better to use. But when it comes down to it, you can just use the slicer for just about everything.

Cutco Petite Chef Knife

Like the petite carver, there's nothing petite about this piece of cutlery. And there's also no need for anything larger. I love this knife, but only because I learned how to use it properly. It's huge, but it's meant to slice up things quickly. It's like on those cooking shows where they push the food into the knife and it chops up and down. This piece of cutlery is a huge time saver for me.
