Ceramic & Steel Knives - Not Cut from the Same Cloth

By , About.com GuideFebruary 3, 2012

Follow me on:

Confused about ceramic knives? Do you wonder if steel knives will someday relinquish kitchen control over to their ceramic counterparts?  Unlike today's electronics that seem to come with an unwritten expiry date, steel knives are here to stay. But ceramic knives are gaining popularity with professional and home chefs. And there's a good reason for this.

But I find there's very little information out there regarding ceramic knives or how they differ from traditional steel kitchen knives, so I aim to change that.  And if you want to try a ceramic knife, you really need to know about this new genre of knife, because it's not cut from the same cloth and has an entirely different nature from steel knives.

Learn more about ceramic knives, find general tips on how to use and care for one, as well ceramic and steel knife comparisons in my Ceramic vs Steel Knives - Understanding the Differences.
