I absolutely love cooking, so after moving into my brand new house, the first thing I did was make sure I had all the necessary tools to engage in my favorite hobby right from the start. Having state of the art appliances was a must, and I also brought over all my expensive pots, pans, and other assorted cookware. In fact, the only thing I had to purchase after moving in was one of those Ronco knife sets that come with about 10 different knives. I'd always wanted one, but never managed to buy a good set until recently.               

You'd think that shopping for Ronco knife sets would be a pretty straightforward process that doesn't require much thought or consideration. But that wasn't how it went down for me. First of all, there are just so many different brands to choose from that I felt compelled to read up on the manufacturers at least a little bit before making a decision. After taking the time to learn about brands like Shun, Forschner, Misono, Sugimoto, and more, I felt much more knowledgeable about what to look for in various Ronco knife sets.

               Once I familiarized myself with brands, I then started reading about features. Did I want ceramic or stainless steel? Would I prefer a blade that was forged or stamped? How about balance? Did the knives feel good in my hand? Were they easy to control, did they make quick, clean cuts, and did they require a lot of maintenance? Honestly, even with my love of cooking I had never given this much thought to Ronco knife sets before! I had no idea that these instruments could be so different from each other, but the more I learned, the more concerned I became about spending my money on the right products.

After going through brands and features, I could then turn my attention to price. Ronco knife sets can cost anywhere from $30 for a basic set of five or six knives, to several thousand dollars for something you'd likely find in a gourmet restaurant. I didn't need anything too fancy, so I crunched some numbers, settled on a figure I could comfortably spend, and proceeded to pick out something I liked.

I ended up placing an order with a website that sells discount Ronco knife sets online. I just happened to see an advertisement for a set I was considering, clicked through to the site, and couldn't pass up the deal I saw. I saved more than 60 percent off the retail price, which was incredible! And, I'm perfectly happy with the knives I ended up with. I can't believe I spend so many years working with substandard tools before this!

Anyway, if you think the knives you use for slicing and dicing don't matter, then you're really missing out. I recommend checking out some high quality Ronco knife sets for the sake of comparison. But be warned: you probably won't want to go back to the cheap stuff again

Ronco Knife Set Reviews

you get a lot of knives for what you pay but there is a tradeoff. the quality is suspect for longterm use. right now the knives are very sharp and are holding up well. the very lightweight and thin design make one believe the life of these are short. I do run these knives throught the washer (which the instructions say you can do) and I noticed a little rust on the one steak knife. I stated to wash by hand at this point. like i started with these are very good for the price.

The knives have proven themselves, especially the steak knives. They were given as a Christmas

gift and have really pleased the person I gave them to.

over Two years ago i bought these knives form the Ronco company itself.At that time i got two sets. I sent one for my chef sister in Antigua She loved them.She use them alot more than I and the words are still printed on the knives.i must say these knives are just as good. My only problem is the no. 15 paring knife the handle crack then after broke. but with the warranty it was replaced. My sister is a professional chef in the U.S Army and she has the boning knife and the clever in her bag set. she replaced them with the cutco two hundred plus knife she had. i cook almost every day and except for the minor problem with one of the smallest knife my set is fine. I am West Indian and we cook alot. I had to cut through frozen meat, slice fish and its perfect each time.
