Mikasa Bamboo Reeds 4-Piece Place Setting Review

Mikasa Bamboo Reeds 4-Piece Place Setting
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a gorgeous "4-Piece Place Setting" exactly as the item's title says. It is not a 16-piece set. As such, some may think it's expensive, but they must be new to Mikasa and other fine brands. This is actually a good deal.

I recently bought two of these sets plus a few 'hostess' pieces for a young couple starting out. They already had a large service of casual, everyday dinnerware, but I wanted to give them something special, for those 'date night' candle-lit meals. They LOVE them. It was almost embarrassing how they went on and on about their favorite gift, as most people don't think of having any special dishes just for themselves. Four months on now and they report that they've used them at least once a week and have had no chips, cracks, or breaks.

I would definitely buy these again for others or for myself, and in fact may give them two more settings at the holidays.

MUkitchen MUbamboo Dishtowel, Natural Review

These dishcloths made in China emit the most offensive odor, wet or dry.They are sour-smelling until laundered and then become sour-smelling again.I wish I knew if the cotton was sprayed with insecticide, or some other chemical. What a disappointment!I will toss them out and look for dishcloths made in the USA, if I can find such an animal.

These dishtowels and dishcloths are a great way to go green in your home.Bamboo-derived rayon is softer than cotton or silk, but resilient and strong enough for day to day use.

Berghoff 7-Piece Forged Knife Block Review

Berghoff 7-Piece Forged Knife Block
Average Reviews:

I just got these knives yesterday, so these are mainly my initial impressions. The packaging is not that great. I don't know if most knife sets come like this, but I was a little surprised. Everything was wrapped in cheap plastic and had some manufacturing residue on it. The block had bits of glue in random spots that had to be cleaned off. I cleaned the block and washed all the knives and everything looks good. There are a few hairline scratches on one or two knives, nothing major. On each knife, it says X30Cr14 which I believe has something to do with Chromium. It also says "D10", "Rostfrei", "BergHOFF", and gives the length. I can't tell where these knives are made. I looked all over the packaging to no avail. BergHOFF is a Belgian company so take that for what it's worth. I even looked on their website and there is no real info I could find.

The knives are solid and heavy feeling. With the counter balance they are a pleasure to hold. You can hold the knife with one finger. Just put the finger on the bottom near the middle of the handle (right side up) and it will balance nicely. They come nice and sharp, but make sure you have a way to sharpen them since there is no steel. I'm not an expert on knives - so I can't tell the difference, but these are forged, not stamped. Berghoff recommends that these be hand washed. I'll update this review with cutting performance and durability later.

Overall, these are some very nice knives, and I recommend them.

Joyce Chen Burnished Bamboo 5-Piece Utensil Set Review

After two plus decades, I finally decided to replace my wood utensils.Though they had served me well, they were now cracked and splintering.

I was considering nylon or silicone utensils to replace them, but about the same time, I had purchased a bamboo cutting board and really loved it. So I checked out bamboo utensils and found these very nice and reasonably priced tools.

First, they are great with all types of cookware, whether traditional or nonstick.And the burnished bamboo surface is very tough.It doesn't mind high heat or the dishwasher.

I also like the bamboo container.It's small enough to place anywhere in the kitchen.I have on set by the stove and another on my prep table.

The only thing I wish it had was a deeper spoon or ladle for serving.

Mikasa Gourmet Basics Bamboo Brown 16 Pc. Set Service For 4 Review

Mikasa Gourmet Basics Bamboo Brown 16 Pc. Set Service For 4

This is a very nice set. As you can expect from Mikasa, it's durable and beautiful, modern without being trendy. I have decades-old Mikasa that this fits in with very well. I don't use it as every day wear but a set is all you need for an occasional up-mode for a couple's meal.

As you can see from the title of the item and from other photos, it is a gorgeous chocolate brown color. I'm not sure why the main photo is a little washed out, but it should be corrected so that people who don't read descriptions can avoid the embarrassment of buying something they assumed was different than the title and text describe.

This is a a pretty good deal, though it can be found for less, and that's the only reason I give this 4 out of 5 stars.

Chicago Cutlery Fusion 18-Piece Knife Set with Block Review

Well after searching and searching, reading review and reading reviews I decided on this set.I ordered them from [...] at first and then found them cheaper $[...] shipped at [...] so I canceled and ordered from them.Received the set and right away I knew I was going to love these knifes.Well balanced, well weighted, and feel great in hand.I was a little worried that the poly grip handles were going to be squishy but they are not at all.Just a very slight give and feels soft to the touch.I actually really like the poly grip handles.The steak knife handles are a little thin but still work great. The blades are nice and strong and sharp right out of the box.Spend a few seconds on each one with the included sharpening Steel and they just get shaper.There is only ONE thing that is somewhat bothering to me and most would laugh about this but when you place all the knifes in the storage block they don't line up perfect like the picture shows.After trying to rearrange the knifes you just can't get them to line up.This has nothing to do with the quality of the knifes and with me being extremely hard to please.This only bothered me for 5 minutes and I decided this set is WAY to nice especially for the price to let this bother me.They kind of make a rainbow shape when placed in the storage block so it looks ok.Like I said I am hard to please when it comes to quality of a product and this set pleases me.I have looked at many sets before purchasing this set and for only $129.95 I truly believe you will NOT find a better set.Maybe even for more money.I highly recommend you give them a try.

Product Description:
Slice and dice all manner of foodstuffs with a full assortment of knives from this 18-piece Chicago Cutlery Fusion set, which includes a handsome bamboo wood block, eight steak knives, and a peeler. Featuring professional high-carbon stainless steel forged blades, the Fusion collection also offer black comfort-grip polyurethane handles designed with contrasting stainless steel end caps for a sleek, contemporary look.
The 7-inch Asian-style Santoku knife has broad blade and especially sharp cutting edge, and it's a great companion for preparing meat, fish, and vegetables. The 5-inch Partoku knife--a Chicago Cutlery creation--combines a Santoku and paring knife and is perfect for smaller hands. This set also includes a 7-3/4-inch chef knife, 8-inch slicer, 7-3/4-inch serrated bread knife, 5-inch utility knife, and 3-1/4-inch parer. An 8-inch sharpening steel keeps their edges in order, and everything stores neatly in the natural hardwood block made of sustainable bamboo.
The blades are crafted of high-carbon forged professional stainless steel--for stronger, harder blades that resist stains, rust and pitting--and are engineered with Chicago Cutlery's signature Taper Grind edge for optimum sharpness and edge retention as well as easy resharpening. Full metal tang extends from the tip of the blade to the end of the knife forming part of the handle. Forged bolsters (the raised area between blade and handle) provide weight and balance and keep fingers safely away from blade edges. Hand wash with mild cleanser. All knives are backed by a full lifetime guarantee.
