Win A Wusthof Classic 20cm Cook’s Knife Worth $259
149
They say that a true test of a good knife is when it has to cut through a pumpkin. We are not talking fancy carving here, but plain old cut the pumpkin to make some delicious soup kind of cutting. A good knife will have a pointy tip, a heavy hilt to drive the tip and a sharp blade to seal the deal. To test this theory last Halloween (how apt!), I road tested several 20cm chef’s knives on some pumpkins. I stood the pumpkin upright, angled the pointy tip at the top of the pumpkin and putting pressure on the hilt, drove the blade all the way down.
Now there were some that did the job well and some that struggled. But the winner for me was the Wusthof. To read my experience with the Wusthof Classic 20cm Chef’s Knife (which I love dearly), head on over to Kitchenware Direct’s fabulous new blog. To celebrate the launch of their spanking new blog, the good guys over at Kitchenware Direct are generously offering one reader of Cook Republic a Wusthof Classic 20cm Chef’s Knife worth $259.

Chopping onions quickly and neatly – believe it or not there is a trick to doing it right! Peel, slice in half lengthways. Place half flat on board and cut lengthways almost to the top but not quite – this keeps everything together, then just slice across from the bottom as wide as needed and voila – even pieces, very neat, very easy and quick.
