Choosing a Rachael Ray Set for Your Cutlery

In a commercialized society where nearly every celebrity is marketing his or her popularity by product endorsements, talk shows, books and videos and eponymous products, Rachael Ray is no exception to the rule. Happily for the fans of Ms. Ray’s television show, her eponymous merchandise is linked to her main passion – cooking. Consequently, we have the Rachael Ray kitchen knives which complement her cookware collection, such as the Furi Rachael Ray Gusto Grip 3 Piece Knife Set.

General Features

Rachael Ray’s blades and handles are manufactured by Füritechnics, an Australian cutlery maker that also has recommendations from other celebrity chefs including Nigella Lawson. As a result of Ray’s suggestion, the knives are lightweight with easy-grip handles (in Ray’s words, “super duper grippy”) and factory sharpened blades. And predictably, with orange being her favorite color, practiacally all the knives are made with orange handles cases, with the noteworthy exception of the all-black steak knife set along with its case.

With regards to the technical attributes, Füri blades are crafted out of a high-carbon German stainless steel alloy blade attached to a polypropylene/synthetic rubber grip which has a eclusive reversed-cone shape to increase its “super duper grippyness”. Two notable qualities in the grips of Ray’s knives are the anti-microbial compound in the polypropylene, and the copper insert that can be shaved to re-establish the knife’s balance after so many sharpening sessions.

Advantages

Well, as we already explained, the non-slip grip meets Ms. Ray’s goals, thanks to the grip’s reverse-wedge shape which provides super-grip control even if your hands are wet. After all, you would rather not work with extremely sharp knives that might be difficult to control once they come into contact with liquid on your hands, which takes place  quite a bit every time you are cooking. A great set is the Furi Rachael Ray Gusto Grip Knife Set.

Every Rachael Ray knife set can become a great gift by virtue of its stylish packaging. Plus, you could choose between the orange and the black case or the bamboo case. And the orange handles are nice bit of sunshine in a monochromatic kitchen!

Also, it adds to the package that Rachael Ray touches homemakers’ hearts with her talk shows. She has personally tried and evaluated every knife on her show and showed the knives to be efficient and enjoyable. That exposure, when coupled with her charm, perusades buyers to buy the knives. And that’s star power for you!

Disadvantages

Despite the fact that this particular knife set produces cutting results, customers have some issues concerning the knives themselves. Firstly, the orange handles might be a trick to decorate around in case your décor uses a contrasting hue, or perhaps you just don’t like your kitchen gadgets to visually jump out and say hello to your visitors. Unless you would like to work with these bright spots of screaming daylight every day, you ought to think about traditional-colored handles like black or silver.

There are additionally issues about the danger of the E. coli bacteria settling in the open seam between the rubber handle and the metal bolster. This, naturally, comes from the problems in rinsing between such small spaces. Well, maybe the anti-microbial compound in the handle can take care of that danger, but the possibility could be too high for your peace of mind. A nice set to look into is the Furi Rachael Ray Gusto Grip 3 Piece Knife Set.

For the most part, this Rachael Ray knife set can be ideal for amatuer chefs honing their talents in their own kitchen. For customers with heavy duty uses for knives, switching to other blades may be required.
