Chicago Cutlery Knives Improve Preparation Skills {Giveaway}

A couple of weeks ago I shared with you that I was asked to be a Chicago Cutlery Mom Ambassador. I was beyond excited considering their new Chicago Cutlery DesignPro products are made to give everyday moms like myself more confidence and control in the kitchen. As I mentioned, I am no expert when it comes to cooking or using kitchen tools like knives, so I was excited to have the opportunity to test these knives out for myself and see how they helped with meal preparation and time int he kitchen.

We try to eat most of our meals at home during the week, which means I am in the kitchen preparing meals quite a bit. It's often time consuming considering the amount of ingredients and kitchen tools required to prepare a home cooked meal. In the time I've been using the Chicago Cutlery DesignPro knives though, I've found that meal preparation is far easier and time in the kitchen is much more enjoyable. It's amazing the difference using the right tools can make!

Since using the knives I've been able to use them to help me in making several meals. Many of our meals contain a meat of some sort. As many people know, cutting meat can prove difficult if you do not have a good knife to do it. We recently made a small ham as part of a meal and my husband was very excited to be the first to test out the knives on meat. As he cut through the ham his exact words were "wow, this cuts like butter!". I watched as he cut slice after slice effortlessly. I gave it a try and was equally as impressed.

Of course, there are times we also have salads, soups and other dishes to prepare. These are the types of things that often take the most time for me because they include many different ingredients, usually those having to be cut up into small pieces.

We made a yummy Cheesy Broccoli Soup and used the Chicago Cutlery Knives to make cutting up the potatoes, veggies, etc go faster and more smoothly. I was amazed how quickly we got everything prepared compared to times in the past when we've made this recipe. I am continually amazed with these knives and their innovative grip which helps to guide your hand to the best position for superior control and cutting. I can definitely feel the difference with each cut and slice. They are comfortable to use and work like a charm every time.

Not only is the handle great, but these knives are also made with ultra sharp, Japanese steel blades to improve the cutting experience. As I said with the ham, these blades make cutting through anything like cutting through butter. Between this and the grip, we've definitely found that they quicken the food preparation process for almost every meal we make. They are our new go-to kitchen tool!

Here's the recipe for the Cheesy Broccoli Soup we made. Thanks to the Chicago Cutlery DesignPro knives it made preparation a breeze.

Ingredients:
5-6 Potatoes (cut into small pieces)
2 1/2 Cups Milk
2 Cups Frozen California Blend Veggies (all chopped)
1/2 lb Velveeta (cubed)
3-4 T Butter
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Can Broccoli Soup
4 slices Deli Ham (chopped)

Directions:
Boil potatoes until tender. Drain. Add milk, veggies, cheese, butter, salt, pepper, soup and ham. Simmer until thickens.

We are really enjoying these knives and look forward to being able to use them more and more. Stay tuned, as I'll be posting a video showing just how easy they are to use in the coming weeks. You can learn more about the Chicago Cutlery DesignPro Knives on Amazon.com!
