The most essential tool in my kitchen is a good quality, sharp knife. In fact, over the years I have spent more money than I care to admit building my collection. So when I came across the reasonably-priced ($3–4) Zyliss Fresh Cut Salad Knife in my local kitchen supply store, I was very excited to try it. Zyliss is a Swiss company that has been making quality kitchen tools for over 50 years. The Salad Knife is a brightly coloured plastic knife with serrated edges that is designed for cutting greens and, unlike some metal knives, it won’t turn the leaves brown. My oldest son is the one who uses it the most in our kitchen though, and not for preparing salads! Now that he is at the age and stage where I feel comfortable with him using knives, I feel more at ease because he’s using a plastic knife. Plus, it is one less knife to remember to sharpen. But moms be warned…even though this knife is plastic, it is still sharp and can cut little hands so don’t leave your children with one unattended!
