The handle style alone distinguishes Ultra knives from KitchenAid's Epicurean knives. Ultra knives are permanently bonded to full tangs without rivets, while knives in the Epicurean line have classic three-rivet handles with visible tangs. Otherwise the knives are identical: They are fully forged from single pieces of high-carbon stainless steel, with gently rounded backs for comfort and handles molded of a durable composite that has a glossy, easy-cleaning, scratch-resistant finish. Blades are tapered and hand honed. Thick bolsters contribute safety and weight. Each knife is carefully balanced for its particular use. The handle on this Ultra bread knife is smaller around than that of the comparable Epicurean knife, making it somewhat lighter—-an advantage for small-handed cooks. The blade's large serrations grab hold of the crustiest loaf (or a bagel) and slice right through it. A fine knife such as this one should be hand washed. KitchenAid's Ultra 8-inch bread knife is made in the United States and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack 
Choosing Appliance -> Dishwashers Look for models with adjustable baskets and flexible internal layouts for varying load requirements. For example, a tilting upper basket allows large 30cm diameter plates in the lower basket and extra flaps can be raised or lowered to cater for small items or large pans. Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. KitchenAid Ultra 8-Inch Bread Knife
