The culinary commandoes at The Stocked Pot and Company outfit budding and established chefs with long-lasting, sturdily crafted cooking instruments. Made from German stainless steel, the imprinted J.A. Henckels International blades deftly slice through steaks, vegetables, or play-doh sandwiches. The paring and chef’s knives’ black comfort-grip handles enable easy preparation of meals, after which cooks can place the dishwasher-safe implements into cleaning receptacles or sudsy sinks. Resistant to stains, corrosion, and breaking, the mighty utensils rest comfortably in drawers or the steak knives’ included block as they await their next feast. Like teleporting down a toll road, shipping to outside the East Coast is subject to an additional fee.
