Preparing for the 4th of July with CHEFS Catalog’s Knives and Kitchen Tools The traditions that make Independence Day such a popular and significant American holiday are important. The parades, fireworks, cookouts, and family barbeques are all wonderful ways to celebrate our independence. And they all contribute to the most important part of any holiday: bringing people together. Unless you happen to be a pyrotechnics professional or parade-planner, however, the only 4th of July traditions you need to prepare for are the cookouts, barbeques, and parties. (Well, maybe some at-home fireworks if they’re legal in your state.) No matter how you’re celebrating, CHEFS Catalog can help, whether it’s with a few Wusthof knives or a multicooker. The following are some of the tools you may not have considered for firing up the 4th, but that can prove a huge help. Prepping and Cutting Is Easy with Professional-Grade Knives For professional chefs, their knives are generally considered the most important part of their preparatory culinary kit. So if you don’t have a great set of kitchen knives yet, the 4th of July should be your excuse to pick one up. While great knives are made everywhere, German and Japanese sets are particularly popular. For the German sets, a Zwilling J.A. Henckels or Wusthof knife set will never steer you wrong. For Japanese knives, Shun, Miyabi, or Global sets are popular. Every knife is different, so browse around CHEFS Catalog’s cutlery selection. Different knives speak to different people and some will be more appropriate than others for the common tasks you carry out in your kitchen.

Check out CHEFS Catalog for the Cuisinart Elemental 4 Cup Chopper & Grinder and a number of other excellent models that can lend a welcome helping hand in the kitchen.
