I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for Calphalon. I received product samples and a promotional item to thank me for my participation

Two weeks ago I came to the scary relization that I had been using toy knives to cook for the last 25 years.

Ok, let me back up.  So two weeks ago I was sent the Calphalon Self-Sharpening Cutlery Set.  I can honestly say this is the first time I’ve ever had a grown up, professional set of knives and I finally connected how much time I had been wasting in my kitchen with my old set.

Seriously, I went from spending 20 minutes cutting vegetables, fruit and meats to 10 minutes flat. Cutting through chicken was like cutting through butter.

Want to see what I’m talking about? Watch this video showing how to cut an onion with these amazing knives

Did you see how simple it was for him to chop through an onion. It wasn’t just skill, it was raser sharp knives that made the work as easy as pie. By the way, you can check out more Knife Skills Videos here.

Another feature I love about this set is that they are self-sharpening! Seriously, built into the stainless steel block are cermaic sharpeners  so that the simple act of  removing the knives from the holder, sharpens the knives. Yes! No more special trips to see a knife-sharper, which, come on, who has time for?

The knives are made with high-carbon, no stain forged stainless steel and,  let’s just say it, are plain sexy.

So, I knew I had to create a fun recipe with these knives so I whipped up some Gluten-free Pineapple Fried Rice.  I did a lot of chopping, dicing and cutting but it was fast, fun and easy.
