12-Piece Set of Fruit and Vegetable Knives with 3 Inch Blade, Stainless Steel

A chef's knife can handle tasks like dicing an onion or breaking down a chicken, but sometimes a smaller, more delicate tool is needed. For mincing small alliums, cutting up tiny fruits, and trimming vegetables, a paring knife is often the better choice. If a job feels too clumsy with a large chef's knife, a paring knife is much more suitable. Due to their small size, paring knives allow for different grips and cutting methods. While you can work on a board when mincing a shallot, you can also cut "grandma-style" by holding the knife and food aloft and letting the trimmings or pieces fall into whatever vessel is below them. In addition, paring knives are handy for odd jobs in the kitchen. Unsure if your cake is done in the center and can't find a cake tester? Need to test the tenderness of a roasted beet? A paring knife works in a pinch in both cases, as it is small and narrow enough to not leave behind any obvious signs that it's been inserted into the food. Paring knives are also useful for peeling onions and garlic, much better than stubby fingers alone at sliding under the dry skin and prying it free. A paring knife, specifically, is a small knife with a plain edge blade, perfect for peeling and other small or intricate work, such as deveining a shrimp, removing the seeds from a jalapeno, or 'skinning' or cutting small garnishes. It serves as an all-purpose knife, similar to a chef's knife, but smaller, usually between 6 and 10 cm (2.5 and 4 inches) long. The set includes 12 sharp stainless steel paring knives with a 3-inch blade and a 3.5-inch contoured ergonomic handle with an attractive bright green color. These multipurpose paring knives are designed for garnishing, mincing, peeling, coring, slicing, and dicing, featuring a razor-sharp, laser-tested, tapered knife edge ground to form an exacting angle, holding a sharp edge longer and ensuring maximum cutting performance and durability. The textured contoured handle is dishwasher safe and highly durable, ergonomically designed for a non-slip grip. With a short and flexible 3” blade for enhanced accuracy and precision, made of rust-free stainless steel, this paring knife is optimally built for jobs where control is essential. It is an essential tool in every kitchen to trim, peel, and slice fresh produce, ideal for a variety of tasks such as peeling fruits and vegetables or trimming beans, while also versatile enough for larger jobs.
