"For a special dinner to be success, you don't just need to enjoy cooking and be experienced in how to prepare it," says Mouna Freese, head chef at the NatuzziCafe in Cologne, "It all depends on high-quality, reliable kitchen tools." So when she prepares banquets, she uses ceramic knives from Kyocera. The special characteristics of FK Series blades simplify the difficult steps necessary to prepare a sophisticated dish.
Whether using meat, ripe fruit or delicate herbs, the extreme sharpness of Kyocera ceramic blades means they glide smoothly through the food without tearing or crushing. Even fresh bread can be cut cleanly without squashing. Being extremely hard, ceramic blades are guaranteed to remain sharp for a long time - lasting longer in the kitchen than virtually any other material. Together with the ergonomic handle and the surprisingly light weight of the ceramic blades, FK Series knives reduce strain and tiredness even in intensive bouts of chopping.
Ceramic knives from Kyocera are non-corroding and impermeable to both the taste and the aroma from whatever they cut, and they do not themselves transfer metal ions to the food.
Rafael Schröer, General Manager of Kyocera Fineceramics GmbH, claims with some pride, "We have produced ceramic knives since 1984, so we were among the pioneers in the field of fine ceramic kitchen products. Since the very first, Kyocera has placed the greatest emphasis on quality. Each of our knives is carefully ground by hand."
FK Series ceramic knives are available from specialist dealers now and range in price from ¤ 29.00 - ¤ 120.00.
