{"product_id":"8-in-1-kitchen-knife-block-set-black-or-white","title":"8-in-1 Kitchen Knife Block Set, Black or White","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnives kept loose in a drawer go blunt against each other and are dangerous to reach for. A \u003cstrong\u003eknife block\u003c\/strong\u003e solves both problems at once: each blade sits in its own slot, protected from contact, and every knife has a fixed home so you stop hunting mid-recipe. This \u003cstrong\u003e8-in-1 set\u003c\/strong\u003e arrives complete with the block, so a kitchen goes from mismatched knives to an organised station in one purchase — which makes it a common choice for a first home, a new flat or a kitchen refit. Available in \u003cstrong\u003eblack and white\u003c\/strong\u003e to sit with your existing counter. Compact enough for a small worktop, and it keeps sharp blades out of reach of children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSet\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8-in-1 knife set with storage block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack, white\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountertop block with individual slots\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEveryday home cooking, first kitchens, kitchen refits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuying guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharpness is a habit, not a purchase. Hone regularly with a steel and sharpen properly a few times a year; a sharp knife is safer than a blunt one because it goes where you aim it. Never put kitchen knives in a dishwasher — heat and detergent damage edges and handles — and wash and dry them immediately after use, particularly after acidic foods. Slide blades into the block spine-first to avoid dragging the cutting edge across the slot. Keep the block away from the cooker and out of splash zones, and empty and wipe it every few months, since crumbs collect in the slots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst loose knives in a drawer, a block protects both the edges and your fingers. Against a magnetic wall strip, it is portable and better in a rented kitchen, though a strip saves counter space. For serious cooking, a few high-quality knives eventually beat a large set, but a block set is the practical way to start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan the knives go in the dishwasher?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Heat and detergent damage edges and handles.
