I am super excited about this one guys! I recently was in contact with the amazingly friendly people from Cutco Canada who asked me to review their knives...
And also host a giveaway!
I was immediately excited - I had heard such great things about these knives but never actually had the chance to own one.
They sent me a package with three products:
From left to right:
3721 - Santoku–Style Trimmer
2166 - 5" Petite Santoku
1501 - Vegetable Peeler
Retail value: $239 CDN
CUTCO has been in business since 1949 and is known for what is called a Double D® edge. It’s like 3 straight edges recessed between the points so it cuts clean - not like the ripping and tearing that you get with serrated edges. The points help protect the blade itself from hitting the cutting board, plate, etc which can dull a knife. On average the Double D® edge stays sharp about 7-10 years before needing sharpening.
All CUTCO knives come with a Forever Guarantee. If you are ever unsatisfied with the performance of your CUTCO knife, they will fix or replace the knife for free. You can also send in your CUTCO knife for free sharpening, you just pay for the shipping and handling.

I have been using my knives and the peeler regularly for the last few weeks and I can't believe I went so long without them. Slicing and chopping has never been easier and more precise. They are fantastic knives and I know they will last me a lifetime. Seriously, I don't think I'll ever need to buy knives again.
Oh, and check this out... the products are made in the USA! (When is the last time you saw that?!)

I would love to win these knives! All my knives suck and are super dull. I would love a set to make lots of Gluten-Free Vegan Lasagna!! Oh, and some Gluten-Free Vegan Chili. Oh, oh, oh and maybe some Gluten-Free Apple Crumble cupcakes. Mmm....
ReplyDelete@latleger :)
3721 - Santoku–Style Trimmer is the knife I'd be most excited to try. I need a good serrated knife and they are hard to come by!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
I love cutting tomatoes with a really sharp knife..its really the only way, otherwise it is just frustrating and makes a mess! I would love to win these knifes :)
ReplyDeleteMy knives are so dull that when I use them, foods tend to shred rather than cut, haha. I would love to use these tools to make some homemade vegetarian sushi. The peeler to peel some cucumber and carrots, and the 5" Petite Santoku to cut them into fine matchsticks!
ReplyDeleteI would love to use this knife to cut into the key lime pie or any of the amazing breads from Turtle Dove's Bakery in Burlington. My daughter avoids the knife currently and goes straight at the pie with a spoon. Maybe with these knives we could cut a slice faster than she could get at it with a spoon.
ReplyDeleteA slice of my hubby's GF lasagna would probably be the first victim...
ReplyDeleteHeather Emme
The knives from Cutco are amazing. I wish I had more. They make chopping and peeling so much easier. The potatoe peeler even gets used by me, who finds that task usually tedious. The bread knife slices so nicely through fresh bread. If I had the large Santoku Chopper
ReplyDeleteit would make chopping veggies for stir frys so much easier. I have purchased some essential knives for my grown up kids, as they got real used to the quality when they were at home.
I would so love to win the veggie peeler. Mine is on its last legs and I love to make zucchini ribbons and carrot ribbons for salads. My children love the zucchini ribbons with a bit of pasta sauce too and it is a healthy, and gluten-free way to have a dish reminiscent of pasta. It's also a great way to sneak in more veggies.
ReplyDeleteLaurie Ann March
I really want some new knives - I am looking forward to some slicing and dicing for chicken pad thai
ReplyDeletethat would be so great
These knives would be great for me! I would use them to cut the almond bread that I have been trying to perfect (actually, perfect is an overstatement....I just need it to be edible!). I would use the knives to cut my loaf since it's currently hard as a rock! Haha. I'd use the peeler to peel sweet potatoes for my little ones who are currently on a sweet potato fry kick!
ReplyDeleteJennifer Shaw Binaday (Facebook)
I would love to use these knives for anything and everything! The knives I have now are not the friendliest. They make bread crumbs out of my fresh bread and shred my chicken instead of slicing (when trying to cut it raw!)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter will love the peeler..her new found "interest" is peeling ALL the veggies in the house when we bring home the groceries.
My parents have been using cutco knives for years - they are amazing! After I moved out I've been hoping to get some of my own (my non-cutco knives just don't compare) so I'd love to win these knives!! I would look forward to using the Santoku–Style Trimmer and Petite Santoku to cut all of the local fruits and vegetables that are coming into season.
ReplyDeleteEmily Fox
I would love to cut some fresh baked gluten-free cake with the Santoku-Style Trimmer. I have a set of Cutco knives and I just love them. They fit in your hand nice and they are always sharp. The best knives ever made. I DON'T have the Santoku-Style Trimmer of the 5" Santoku. They would be an excellent addition to my set. Sandra Hayter
ReplyDeleteI would love the serrated knife.
ReplyDeleteThat way I can cut my sandwich with my knife and his gluten-full sandwich with his knife and not have to worry about which order I am cutting in.
I have been in Meghan Telpner's Culinary Nutrition expert program for the last 5 weeks and am in desperate need of good knives and peeler to make even more delicious gluten-free meals. I don't even know where I would begin though I suspect everything in my fridge would wind up peeled and/or chopped into a fine dice just to test these products out...I may also have to wrestle my kitchen knife obsessed boyfriend to even get to use them. That serrated knife would probably cut through my homemade gluten-free pita bread really well...
ReplyDeleteWow, homemade GF pita bread?! Any chance you'd share your recipe? You can find me at seak17 @ gmail.com
DeleteI would love to try the petite Santoku knife. I would use it to chop potatoes and leeks for a delicous gluten-free soup! (@guelphwayne)
ReplyDeleteI am the mother of 2 and my husband is gluten and soy intolerant (possibly more, but we're not sure yet). Since I am the only person in the home that cooks, I would be using these knives to prepare each and every meal. Specifically what would I cook, probably some Red Curry with vegetables, served over jasmine rice. mmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteKatrina Lam (From Facebook)
DeleteI am the mom of 2 with a husband who is gluten & soy intolerant. I am also the only one in the house who cooks, so with these knives I would likely be preparing most if not all meals. Specifically, I would love to make Red Curry with Vegetables over Jasmine Rice...mmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteI would love to make some gluten free vegetarian milestone soup. I'm newly Celiac and was never much of a cook before but I'm learning slowly and what I've learned is that you really need to chop everything into the same size pieces!! Let's just say my dinners have had interesting textures :-)
ReplyDeleteWOW!! I haven't had much luck with my knives lately!! Cut myself one too many times! I think if I had better knives that I wouldn't get cut since I wouldn't have to struggle to cut things. I am always chopping or slicing veggies for the kids and I for a snack. I use my veggie peeler to remove the "strings" from celery so my kids don't choke. I made GF corn bread today and the serrated knife would have been perfect to cut through...I used a steak knife!! lol! If I had proper knives, I think I wouldn't have to open up the first-aid kit as often...that's a good thing!! right?!?!? ; )
ReplyDeleteLinda Vella
These look amazing! There are so many things I would use them for. This summer I would be making a beet & quinoa salad or a thinly sliced veggies on the grill. A hearty chili of squash soup in fall. Kale hash with slices of smoked sausage in winter. And gluten free rhubarb coffee cake in spring. Especially the Petite Santoku looks wonderful!! My name as it appears on Facebook is Silvia Holtrop. And my mouth is now watering thinking of all the yummy things I could make with these knives.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to cut some sweet potato fries which I was suppose to do this passed weekend :oP
ReplyDeleteVEGGIES VEGGIES VEGGIES!!!! My knives are so crappy, so it would make a huge difference!
ReplyDeleteThe knife I would look forward to using most would be the Petite Santoku, to speed up slicing and dicing. I don't have a knife of this type yet, but I think it would be very handy. A good serrated knife and veggie peeler would also be very useful. I have to work from a seated position (in a wheelchair), so having a decent knife that retains a good edge is extremely important. Working while seated does not allow you to put the pressure on the blade that you might normally be able to, and the angles are different, which slows me down.
ReplyDeleteMy post is above, (Blackstonecat) please note that this is my Twitter ID. The link doesn't seem to work properly in my first post. https://twitter.com/#!/Blackstonecat
Deleteohhh.. that petite santoku has my name written all over it! Would LOVE to try these! I am trying to do more vegan raw foods.. and a killer knife would be awesome for all the veggies I am chopping lately!
ReplyDeleteThe knifes set look awesome Finally a Knife that look like you could do more than just to cut veggies I would enjoy using them to make sweet potatoes Fries
ReplyDeleteMy hubby made me some yummy homemade onion rings. I am sure he could make them much quicker and esier usding these knives. We could also include some sweet potato fries - peeler supreme.
ReplyDeleteI would look forward to cutting a gluten free bread loaf with that Trimmer knife. What a pleasure that would be - instead of squishing it down as I currently do seeing as I do not have such a knife. This would be make me incredibly happy. I also would peel eggplant strips for 'bacon' with the peeler. That would be fantastic. I do not have a main sharp knife that doesn't squish tomatoes. I really, really dislike that about my current knife. They're all fantastic.
ReplyDelete(Aireater.com)
Cutco knives are THE BEST knives ever!! I have a set of them, and I actually don't have any of the knives that you're giving away here... but I LOOOOVE my knives so much. I would REALLY love the peeler, especially, since I just have a cheap, dollar store peeler right now. it takes forever to get through my veggies with that thing. I know the Cutco one would serve me WAY better.
ReplyDeleteI am @superflashphoto on Twitter
Hi - oh to have sharp knives.... tomatoes that don't get squashed, sandwiches that the fillings don't ooze out the side as you press and gluten free bread that does not disintegrate at the touch of a blade.... carrots and potatoes to be peeled without hitting the window with the peelings... and to not be tempted to steal a handsaw to get through a steak.. now THAT would be utopia!!!!
ReplyDeleteSue Hilton (fb), from Burlington...
I have had an eighteen piece Cutco set,plus peeler and sharpener for about 20 years.They are the best knives for cutting anything.The chef knife is my favourite,it slices through tomatoes
ReplyDeleteas thin as you want,as well as all other vegetables.The bread knife is also amazing for thin or thicker sliced bread and uniform.Whether it is meat vegetables,bread,potatoes,or peeling they are the best knives in the market,and make cooking easier.The pearl handles fit your hand perfectly.We thought they were a little expensive when we bought them but with the forever guarantee we took a chance and have been happy for 20 years,and they still look new.Cutco has come through with there guarantee to fix a tip and sharpen them when needed.Tale a chance you will not regret it. Tom McRae Facebook
Our knife selection is pretty sad at the moment and we could use any of the selection but I think the 2166 - 5" Petite Santoku would be great for us. We cook from scratch daily and it would be great for cutting up the meat and vegetables for our favourite Japanese recipes.
ReplyDeleteJoanne McCarthy Yano - Facebook
I would use these beautiful instruments to enjoy the preparation of root vegetables. I would peel my parsnips and carrots, slice my potatos and dice and toss in some brussell sprouts, then gently rinse of those tools and lay them to rest for future healthy endeavours in my gluten free kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have them,,
ReplyDeletegluten free food in Sussex NB is NOT plenty so veggies is very inportant here,, I would love to have them as it would make being gluten free worth while,,,,, even to my dog has to have gluten free treats,,,,,
awesome set, would be great for cutting my roast beef, when needing just some carrots for a salad, i use a peeler, as it slices perfectly. but this is a beautiful set
ReplyDeleteA knife like that would definitely make breaking down a chicken a nice treat! I love making chicken meals for my kids, and there's generally a lot of cutting and trimming with that, not to mention the vegetables. Maybe bbq chicken and grilled root vegetables... mmmm
ReplyDeleteFor me, these knives and vegetable peeler show a
ReplyDeletebetter - and easier :) - way to prepare delicious
gluten-free meals for my family and I. I would
slice up the vegetables so much easier, and would
finally be able to peel the potatoes as fast and as
well as my Mother! ~ Abigail Berg (Facebook name)
i WOULD use the knives to slice home made gf pasta!!!! I would also use the knives to prepare a home made pasta sauce!!!
ReplyDeleteBecky Bingham
I work in the food service industry, and have never owned a good knife myself. It's my dream to own good knives! Every try carving a turkey or chopping turnip with lousy knives?....I'd love to try that trimmer on a turnip. Jennifer Gordon-Baker FB
ReplyDeletehi,I would like to try all 3 however my favorite would be the 5'petite santoku. I have been searching for great knives for awhile as I love to cook. When I cook my turkey or chicken breast I always end up shredding it a bit because I don't have a proper set of knives. This knife set would mean alot to me as I spend alot of time in the kitchen creating especially in my new GF lifestyle. They would contribute so much to my kitchen. Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteStefania Simone Barron - Facebook
I love Cutco!! I would totally use them for preparing every meal I make. In particular, my hubby's favorite, my slow cooker beef stew. I say that because I made it this morning and was wishing I had better knives!! Would so love a chef's knife one day :) Thanks for the chance to win!!
ReplyDeleteI would love these for my frequent veggie chopping (and trying out recipes from my new Gluten Free Girl and the Chef cookbook!). My go-to knife is getting pretty dull, so the 5" Petite Santoku knife would be a welcome addition to my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteThese would be fabulous to own & use. We would use them for all sorts of things from slicing breads to peeling fruits & veggies to dicing up harder more dense root vegetables. Since I was diagnosed as celiac. I have had to cook most of meals from scratch & these would certainly make life easier in prep work!
ReplyDeleteI would loveeee to win these knives. Ours are pretty old and it's hard to cut up all the fresh vegetables and fruits I eat. I would love the Petite Santoku so I can make some delicious gluten free vegetable stir fry :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to have these knives. I have been telling my mom for years that we need to get new knives. It would be a dream to use these knives! The first thing I would make would be GF chicken stir fry. It would be great to chop the chicken, peppers, mushrooms, onion, and so on.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this opportunity!
Rachel Roppel - Facebook
I canNOT wait to cut onions and garlic with my new Cutco knives! I eat enough onions and garlic on a daily basis to start farming them! I am not sure what my favourite one would be, but every Cutco knife I've ever tried, I've LOVED!
ReplyDeleteAs a result of a terrible fall a couple of years ago I dislocated my arm, tore the ligaments and tendons from my shoulder to hand, broke the humerus and snapped off my elbow, I now have a prosthetic elbow. After 2 years of intensive physio I have regained partial use of my arm and hand but still have difficulty when trying to cut, slice or chop anything. Living alone makes it rather difficult to ask for someone to help with the preparation of veggies and other foods that need slicing and chopping. Having a beautiful set of knives such as the Cutco, cooking might become enjoyable for me again. If I had to pick just one of the items shown I would choose the 2166 - 5" Petite Santoku so I could get back to making and enjoying the healthy foods I use to make prior to my accident. Thank you Cutco for offering these products for this give a way. My Facebook name is Bev Johnson.
ReplyDeleteHi Jax! Thank you for doing this blog, it's much appreciated! I am a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) and also own an organic beverage bar - I make smoothies and juices using fresh fruit and veggies! I'm in the process of restructuring, and plan to apply to become certified gluten-free, as many of my clients are gluten-sensitive/intolerant. I don't serve anything with gluten, so it makes good sense! It would be so helpful to have a good set of knives/peeler, as mine aren't very good, and I cut up a ton of fruit/veggies every day! Thank you for your consideration!
ReplyDeleteRebecca Dunn Mullins/Facebook
The peeler would be my first weapon of choice against the potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, and other skinned veggies or fruit. Although the slicing, dicing, and mincing virtues of the santoku knives would certainly make that vegetable soup a breeze to prepare.
ReplyDeleteFrom cutting fries and chives to slicing pies with those knives!
I would love the knives to use on all the Gluten free things that I make, like Spinach mandarin shrimp salad, potato salad, boiled eggs.
ReplyDeleteAline Alarie Carley (from Facebook)
DeleteThese knifes look awesome.I would love, love to have them in my kitchen as I cook everyday from scratch. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletewow... I would make use off that whole set! I was just telling someone how bad my current knives are, and how it sucks the joy of cooking right out of me as my prep becomes so difficult.
ReplyDeleteWith all of the amazing veggies coming into season now, and transitioning back to working from home, which will allow me more time to cook, it would be fab to kick off the spring/summer season with a brand new set of utility knives!
I'd even attempt to bake bread if I had a serrated knife!!
Thanks for your consideration (love the blog! keep up the great work!)

I would love to not butcher tomatoes, but slice them and dice them for a great Caprese salad - I butcher the steaks, instead! Would love to give the Petite Santoku a go in my kitchen:)
ReplyDeleteI would like to try the peeler so I can get more vegetables in my daily diet.
ReplyDeleteThose knives are beautiful and would make an exciting addition to our family. First I would make my favorite gluten free apple crisp. The knives would be the one product I would look forward to using the most, because of their versatility, and it would make everything easier with a great knife to prep food. Thanks! Holli Reichert
ReplyDeletei would love and could use these. my kidds love to cook with me, and I usually let them do the simple stuff, they would love to peel the carrots and patatos now, and with great knives I wouldn't have to dig to cut my tomatoes or vegetables, just a quick slice. would help me with 3 kids make preparing a bit easier and the food come out looking like it's supposed to, not all mush up
ReplyDeleteI would absolutely love these knives. Making chilli's and stew's or anything that requires tedious prep work with lots of cutting. The knives I have now are about 7 years old and it's too much of a hassle to get them sharpened. I have one Cutco knife and it's a bird's beak paring knife and I absolutely love it and use it whenever I can. Quality knives makes everything so much easier and saves time too.
ReplyDeleteSam Gorman -FB
I would love to have a knife that works well to slice raw beef. Making my own gluten free beef jerky has been much easier since I got my dehydrator for Christmas. The right tools to avoid "hacking" the meat and cut it into even strips would be heaven!
ReplyDeleteSamantha Schofield- Facebook
I would LOVE a nice sharp knife to thinly cut tomatoes, instead of attacking them.
ReplyDeleteI would love a great set of knives and a peeler for making my GF beef stew! not only to cut up the meat and veggies, but peeling the turnip and cutting it would be made sooooo much easier and save so much time (and frustration!) @smsp1 - twitter
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE the peeler and the petite Santoku! I LOVE making a gluten-free almond apple crisp and make it at least once a week to give most of it away. It's time to replace my peeler and I'd love to have a nice sharp knife for chopping the apples. Our rhubarb is also starting to grow, so changing up the apples for rhubarb & strawberries is also very yummy but require more chopping - especially if you want to freeze rhubarb so you can use it year round. :)
ReplyDeleteCarolynn R Wiens
I would love any of their products!! :) My knives are very old and dull at home and with 3 busy little kiddies, it would be great to make meals more quickly and more efficiently with better tools! :) I think the first meal I would make is a fried rice and veggie dish... So many veggies to peel and chop!
ReplyDeleteKaren Vanderwier-Verhoef - facebook
Most of my knives were wedding presents 33 years ago, and I need new ones! Especially for cutting meat for stir fries, which can be frustrating with a dull knife, but also for chopping vegetables. And that peeler looks fabulous for peeling carrots or sweet potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI am most looking forward to cutting gluten free foods with the new knives. Especially gluten free foods that need cutting or slicing. Maybe even, if it feels right, foods that need dicing. But it has to be gluten free.
ReplyDeleteMitchell Bellman - facebook
I would look forward to making my own homemade gluten-free beef jerky. Even, thinner strips would be so great to have. I've found a gluten free soya sauce that I enjoy so I can't wait to try the recipe with gluten-free ingredients!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to school for culinary management in September and I need good knives. I went to the booth at the Home & Garden show last weekend and I absolutely loved the knives! This would help me out so much with my future career.Thanks for the opportunity!

I would love to win these for my boyfriend. He does all the cooking and has been trying to find a good set of knives for the kitchen. His birthday is in June and our first baby is also due in June, if I could win these for him it would be just one way to show him how much I appreciate everything he is doing for our growing family. I would probably use them for the first time on whatever meal he is gracious enough to prepare for us

I would love to cut up beef and chicken with the knives and slice and dice veggies! Gayle Snobelen
ReplyDeleteI have too many knives and they are all garbage! Although I have at least a dozen knives, I have never owned a really GOOD knife. Chopping veggies for a stew is a wonderful stress reliever but with a dull knife it takes all the fun out of it! The peeler looks like one I have but I'm sure the blade will last soooo much longer and the serrated knife looks good for cutting the gluten free breads I'm making with my bread maker! My bread knife just tears through it. Hope I win!!! :)
ReplyDeleteUna Byers
I think peeling and cutting turnips would be so much easier with a decent peeler and knife! Rebecca Weber
ReplyDeleteWell, clearly many, MANY of us think that these Cutco knives would be wonderful to have in our kitchens! Personally, the one I'd reach for first would be the Santuko-style trimmer. It looks like a serious knife and I cut a lot of serious veggies. I find that with grains being problematic and dairy a no-no, I've had to increase my veggie intake tremendously. Cutting all those veggies (turnips, zucchini, eggplant, okra, kale, sweet potatoes, etc.) takes lots of time. And I'm really tired of the dull blade of my knife winging off to one side whenever I try to cut straight down. Plus that beauty would more than replace the Henkel knife we got for a wedding present 22 years ago whose point broke off in a particularly tough turnip a few years back. :-) Trudee Romanek
ReplyDeleteI would love to win the 5" Santoku knife!! We are a family of 5 and I prepare all our meals from scratch... lots of fruits and veggies... so a knife that's sharp and stays sharp would be a huge help in my kitchen!!!
ReplyDeleteTanya Livingston Tomic - Facebook
I would absolutely love to use these knives for canning! I'm learning how with my mum this summer, so I can carry on all our family's secrets. The serrated Santuko-Style Trimmer would be perfect for making relishes and canned tomatoes, and the peeler would do wonders on peaches and pears! I would love to use these tools!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting this amazing giveaway!
Cailey Amenaza Martin
Cutco knives are amazing! My husband and I were skeptical, until we stayed with his parents for a while and used their set. They are fantastic for anything and everything when prepping and cooking. A santoku knife is so versatile, I would use it for cutting veggies, fruit, cheese, meat, poulty - you name it! A good peeler is also a must have. Aside from the obvious fruits & veggies, it's also a good item to zest lemons (lemon cheesecake is one of my favs!).
ReplyDeleteJennifer Cote (Facebook)
I find it very difficult to find knives that cut nicely. I would love to win these knives to help me make my homemade soups... Lots of cutting and peeling going on!! Thanks. Victoria VAndesteeg
ReplyDeleteHastings Ontario.Facebook.
Potatoes are on the menu often, as I have husband and 3 sons over the age of 16 who require volume. A great potato peeler would be awesome. We eat lots of veggies as well, and for the guys, I cut all the steak, and fish into portion sizes before I freeze them, and a sharp knife would make the job a lot quicker. We do alot of stir frys at lunch as well.
ReplyDeleteMonica Gerber White
I would cut up lots and lots of vegetables to make pureed soups! I'd really like the peeler especially
ReplyDeleteCUTCO knives are amazing - great for cutting up cooked chicken and prime rib roasts! Stacy Miller

I would love to win as my knives are OLD and dull and the handles are falling off! I peel a LOT of apples for my 1 year old son (Ithink I am a pro now), and I am in desparate need of a couple fo sharp knives. Fingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteI would love these for cutting my favourite bread from "From the Wild Mountain Gluten Free Bakery"!!! I freeze my bread & almost always forget to cut it before throwing it in the freezer. I bet Cutco knives would cut through the frozen bread like butta!
ReplyDeleteOh and the peeler --- why is it all my peelers rust?! Maybe Cutco's wouldn't!
I would love all the knives, but particularly the peeler for making homemade soups!
ReplyDelete@kellytunney
I heard amazing things about these knives and can't wait to use them to make the Gluten-free Vegan Chili!
ReplyDeleteHi Jax. What a great contest! Being in the specialty food/kitchenware industry for years I have had the chance to preview, sell and own some of the best knives around and am very curious to see how these CUTCO knives would stack up - especially the 5" petite santuko. I have used the 4" Wusthof chefs knife and can imagine that the 5" santuko would be perfect for any persons kitchen. Again, thanks for the opportunity and good luck to all the other entries.
ReplyDeleteI've been living gluten-free for health reasons since 2008 and have a well-stocked kitchen to help me cook and bake a variety of delicious and healthy foods at home (with my parents). My boyfriend loves to cook but has been a confirmed bachelor for years, so his kitchen isn't so well-stocked. He's eager to learn about cooking gluten-free and tries really hard to ensure I always have food to eat when staying at his place. (We live two hours apart and take turns visiting.) He really is a great chef -- he's made me gluten-free french onion soup, bruschetta, chicken alfredo, and all sorts of other delicious foods. He's got some food allergies, too, so eating out is challenging, to say the least. And we love cooking together, usually stir-fries. But his knive selection really sucks. All of these CUTCO products would be a great help for when we cook together! For instance, right now, he doesn't even have a vegetable peeler, or any serrated blade except a steak knife! But I know that the Petite Santoku would be the most useful and something we could both use when cooking yummy gluten-free foods together. I'm already salivating at the thought of his Thai green curry...

My roommate is gluten intolerant, and has been indoctrinating me- though I do not have a known gluten allergy I do feel better with less gluten in my diet!
ReplyDeleteI would love the petite Santoku to cut up cherry tomatoes for salads and tomato and onion tarts. I try to keep at least one knife sharp enough for the little buggers, but so often they end up squished instead of cut!
The serrated blade would be amazing for soft breads.

ReplyDeleteI would love to use these knives to cook my son's favourite GF meal...stir fry. Also, they really look good for helping me prepare veggies for school snacks. The serrated blade would be perfect for cutting through his GF buns! Thank you for the opportunity to win! Meridith Hall Nodwell -facebook
DeleteThese knives would be great for cutting up veggies and chicken for stirfry.
ReplyDeleteMy husband does most of the cooking, and he would LOVE the Santoku-style trimmer and petite santoku. Me, I'm more basic - I want the peeler! For peeling fresh fruits and veggies to make my daily fresh juices! Definitely a staple in my house.
ReplyDeleteI could really use these Cutco Knives. Due to circumstances beyond my control I am living in a home where I am the only one gluten free. I am contantly re washing cutlery before using it and insist on my own cutting board. If I could have my own set of knives totally only for me my life would be a little easier without worrying about cross contamination. I have to cook from scratch and would use the knives to chop veggies, fruits, slice bread and peel potatoes and carrots without woorring about getting sick. They would be off limits and used only by me.
ReplyDeleteThese Cutco knives would be great for preparing Guacamole!!! YummY!!! A nice sharp knife to cut open the avacado...to chop up some red onion...and especially one for the cherry tomatoes, a sharp knife is a must for any kind of tomoatoe. Add some lemon juice and a little sour cream with Epicures gluen free guacamole spice and I would be set!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.....

My 6 year old son has a gluten intolerance and so I am constantly chopping and peeling veggies as that has become our default snack in this house (healthier which makes me happy at least). I LOVE the fact that these knives have a forever guarantee and won't need to be sharpened for 7-10 YEARS!?!!! Amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteMy current kitchen set is dull and I actually find chopping with a steak knife more effective than my proper kitchen knives! LOL

Thank you for doing this contest!! Since I found out I needed to go GF, you guys have been a lifesaver!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these knives. I recently found out that I can no longer eat gluten or dairy. It has been quite an overwhelming change for me. As a student and mother, it is a stuggle to find the time and money to learn all these new recipes. Making all my food from scratch is very empowering, but it is a lot of work. Using steak knives is frustrating, but it is all I have. I would use these knives for everything from peeling anf chopping veggies for sushi and spring rolls, to quartering chickens. Oh and don't for get the serrated knife for slicing my home made GF bread :)

If I won these knives, the entire set would be used right away to make gluten free moo goo gai pan, the best way I know how to get the kids to eat a ton of vegetables that they normally wouldn't touch! My current peeler is a hazard and my knives are old and chipped. It would be such a treat to prepare dinner with a new set! Thanks for the opportunity.

I'm a college student and I've been gluten intolerant and vegan for a year and a half now. I will be finally moving out of the dorms this summer which means I will be learning to cook gluten free meals for the first time on my own (the residence cafeteria provided GF pasta for me!). I will be starting from scratch purchasing all new dishes and cutlery to ensure zero contaimination, and I am looking forward to re-learning how to cook and maintain a healthy diet. These knives would make a great help for beginning my GF kitchen adventures, from peeling and chopping vegetables to slicing homemade GF bread.
ReplyDeleteThese knives look beautiful! I would be so excited to use the Santoku to slice my homemade GF multigrain bread. Slicing bread with my current knifes makes for quite an uneven mess. As a start, I would love trying the petite Santoku to make easy work of my sweet potato fries. I would imagine it would chop up my parmesean potatoes in a snap, too! The peeler looks appealing since I have been looking for a good peeler for a very long time. I have thrown out more peelers than I can count and get quite frustrated come apple season. I make a maple apple chutney that is a favorite for my whole family (extended as well). I seem to be peeling and chopping more and more apples every year. I would be ever so thankful to you and Cutco for an opportunity to use these great knives!

I have arthritis in my hands & carpel tunnel, so really good knives to cut onions & tomatoes & even bread would be a blessing! Also, a really good peeler that glides would be great so my hands don't cramp up! Thanks so much for the wonderful opportunity! btw I actually picked up one of your business cards at Portions on Sat. Can't wait for next Sunday for the shopping day at Bingemans! xo
