- Top-Tier Balance: The forged construction gives these knives a fantastic, confidence-inspiring feel in the hand.
- Care is Crucial: Being high-quality steel, they demand handwashing to maintain their pristine condition.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Oak Barrel, a gastropub in York, decided to invest in new knife sets for their kitchen team to improve efficiency during their busy weekend service. Their existing collection was a mix of brands and quality, leading to inconsistent prep work.
"The difference was immediate. The lads took real pride in having their own quality set. The balance and sharpness of the Dick knives mean prep is faster and cleaner. You can see it in the presentation of the dishes."
Michael Edwards – Head Chef
Since the upgrade, the kitchen has reported a noticeable reduction in food prep times, particularly for intricate vegetable and butchery work, improving ticket times during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Carefully unpack your new knife set and check each item against the contents list.
- Before the first use, hand wash each knife with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly.
- Familiarise yourself with the roll bag, arranging your knives in a way that makes sense for you.
- Give the sharpening steel a few practice runs to get a feel for the right angle (usually 15-20 degrees).
Keeping It Going
- Always hand wash your knives. Dishwashers can damage the blade edge and the handle.
- Dry your knives immediately after washing to prevent water spots and protect the steel.
- Hone the blade regularly with the included steel to keep the edge perfectly aligned and sharp.
- Always store your knives in the provided roll bag to protect the blades from chipping and to keep them safely stowed away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these knives dishwasher safe?
A: We strongly recommend handwashing only. The harsh detergents and high heat in a dishwasher can dull the blade's edge and potentially damage the handle over time.
Q: What is special about German steel?
A: German steel is a high-carbon stainless steel known for its excellent durability and ability to hold a sharp edge for a long time. It's tough enough for heavy use but can still be easily sharpened.
Q: Do the knives come already sharpened?
A: Yes, every knife in the Dick Premier Plus 11 piece chefs knife set is professionally sharpened, whetted, honed, and polished by hand, so it's ready for use straight out of the box.
Q: What is the sharpening steel for?
A: The sharpening steel is actually for 'honing'. With regular use, the fine edge of a blade can get misaligned. Honing realigns the edge, keeping it sharp between full sharpening sessions.
Q: Is the roll bag included with the purchase?
A: Yes, the durable and convenient roll bag is included as part of the set.
Q: What is a 'tourne' knife used for?
A: A tourne knife has a short, curved blade, like a bird's beak. It's a specialist tool used for peeling and shaping round vegetables and fruits, like turning potatoes.
Q: Is this set suitable for a busy professional kitchen?
A: Absolutely. The Dick Premier Plus catering knife set is specifically designed for the demands of a commercial environment, offering durability, reliability, and high performance.
Q: Why is the handle 'forged'?
A: A forged handle and blade are made from a single piece of steel. This creates a seamless, incredibly strong knife with perfect balance, making it safer and more comfortable to use.
The Dick Premier Plus Legacy: A Cut Above the Rest
Choosing a knife set is about more than just the number of pieces or the type of steel; it's about investing in confidence and consistency. Dick has been crafting professional-grade tools for centuries, and that heritage is forged into every blade of the Premier Plus range. This isn't just equipment; it's a partner in the kitchen. For a business owner, this means equipping your team with tools that reduce fatigue, improve precision, and withstand the relentless pace of a commercial kitchen without constant replacement. The long-term value lies in its reliability – fewer nicks, less time spent sharpening, and a consistent quality of prep that translates directly to the plate. This set represents an investment in German engineering and a commitment to culinary excellence, ensuring your kitchen operates with the precision tools it deserves.
Explore more from DickMore Than a Handle: Why a Forged Blade Matters
You'll often see the word 'forged' when looking at high-quality knives, but what does it actually mean for you in the kitchen? Simply put, a forged knife is crafted from a single, solid piece of steel that is heated and hammered into shape. This piece of steel runs from the tip of the blade right through to the end of the handle (this part is called the 'tang').
Think of it like the difference between a sculpture carved from one solid block of marble versus one pieced together from smaller bits. The single-piece construction of a forged knife gives it incredible strength and, most importantly, perfect balance. There are no weak points. This means the knife feels like a natural extension of your arm, giving you greater control, more confidence in your cuts, and less strain on your wrist during a long day of prep.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurant & Pub Kitchens: An ideal way to equip a new chef or standardise the quality of tools across your entire brigade for consistent results.
