REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY — Anolon® Cutlery 3-Piece Chef Set
I’ve had longer than usually to review these knives since my kitchen was out of commission for so long. And you know, I truly love my knives and have reviewed and written about many. So these were up against some tough odds.
Any chef needs good knives. I drill that into the brains of my college students at MSU in the Food Quantity Class I teach. Sharp knives and good knives will keep you safer, waste less food as you can be more precise with your cutting. We need to keep those trim loss ratios low to keep costs down in professional and home kitchens.
And now for my opinion. . . drum roll. . . I really truly love these knives made by Anolon. This 3-piece set is ideal for an home cook since they are really the only three knives you must have to do most of your prepping, chopping, mincing and dicing. Not only did they start off extremely sharp, but they stayed sharp. I haven’t had to get my knife sharpening out even once in the last several months. I should also mention that they are extremely affordable as knives go. I’ve seen them sell as low as $69.99 for the set. Trust me, when I reach for a knife, it’s always one of these now.
With complete and total confidence, I recommend these knives to you. And if you tell me how you would use them in the comment section below, you might just win a set yourself. I am choosing one lucky winner who will be mailed this incredible 3-piece set to add to their collection. You have until next Thursday May 5th at 5:00 pm to enter. Good luck!

These knives would be perfect for making our homemade guacamole. There’s lots of cutting and chopping involved to get the perfect recipe.
I LOVE to cook and I LOVE good knives! Good knives are so hard to find at a reasonable price and these definitely seem like an affordable set if they are as good as you say! Unfortunately, I don’t have the money for even an affordable set of good knives. Would make my day to win them, though!!!
I’m a 26 year old bachelor who is learning to cook! I’d LOVE THIS <3 😉
I really need some more knives for prep work! These would be amazing!!
I would use these as all purpose cooking knives for meat and produce

I would use these knives every single day. I don’t have good knives, so this would be great. I would use them when preparing meals for my family.
I’m moving in with an Indian, a Hispanic, and a Canadian later this month before summer school starts. I hope to learn some excellent recipes from all of them, and I know there will be lots of cutting and chopping involved!
I’m taking a few cooking lessons this summer from my sister in law who is a Cordon Bleu certified chef. I need some decent knives!
I cook on a nearly daily basis and since my diet is largely vegetarian, I’d love to use the knives for chopping veggies and fruits of all kinds. Thank you for the chance to be in the running!
My family loves fresh salads as well a family favorite, Mexican Food. I would use the Cutlery Set to cut up fresh vegetables from my local Farmers Market as well as for some of my family’s favorite Mexican dishes.

This knife set looks great! I’m on the autoimmune protocol so I make everything I eat at home. My old knives aren’t the best and they dull pretty quickly. I think this set could be just the ticket for all those veggies I have to cut up! 🙂
I would use these knives to replace my old ones that are in need of being replaced. I would use these to cut up all kinds of veggies and meats just to name a few. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’m in need of a set of knives, especially with all of the summer produce that I’ll be chopping up soon!
I would use the knives for my everyday cooking needs.
would use to slice n dice all the veggies
My knives are a mismatched lot that looks as though they’ve to hell and back. A decent set would save me from mangling my produce.
I would use the new knives to make fresh healthy meals for family and friends
I would use them to make my Mom’s favorite…stir-fry vegetable with shrimp & abalon
I’m learning to cook and could use a new set of knives to take on this new adventure of mine
The farmers market will be open soon and the fruit and veggies will need to be chopped and sliced. That is what this great set would be used for. The paring knife would get tons of use – it drives my husband crazy but I learned to use it to peel things like potatoes by cutting towards my thumb. I never have been able to break that habit and find using a peeler very awkward.
I absolutely love cooking and try to cook new unique and flavorful meals for my husband and I and guests every week. I have a total of 1 semi-decent knife, which is far from ideal. I would love a nice set of knives!
Would use to cut up some veggies.
I recently started Trim Healthy Mama and that means a lot more cooking and prep work. This would really help me as my dumb old Farbers are starting to show the wear and tear.
Love to use it to cut tons of veggies
I would love to have these in my new apartment so I can eat out less!
I would use them to replace the cheap set of knives I bought in college that never seem to cut anything easily.
I would use these to cut meat and vegetables.
They would be used to cut up a lot of fruit and veggies! Our local farmers market starts up in a week and I cannot wait!
I would use these knives to prep my food in the kitchen so I could spend more time cooking with my kids. Need these sharp beauties to make that happen! Thanks for the great review! #Anolon
I love your review…thank you. I am always looking for a good knife set and I love that they aren’t super expensive because I have a little two year old so that’s where all my money goes, lol! I cook dinner for my husband and son every night because I want them to have healthy and yummy dinners. These knives would be a great asset when it comes to preparing. Crossing all my fingers and toes! Thanks so much!!
I would replace some of the awful knives I have now in my kitchen! I’m Paleo, which means I have to cook almost all of my meals because there’s not a lot to choose from at restaurants. Because I do so much cooking, my kitchen utensils are important to me and well used, so I’m always on the lookout for better ones at great deals.
Having had to start over with almost no budget, I have no real kitchen knives, so these will get a lot of use immediately!
