My Point? Good Knives Are Key

For years I made due with sub-par knives. I was cheap and I was stubborn and I honestly thought that if I could just get my knife skills up to speed, my food prep would be a cinch no matter what knife I used.
I was so terribly wrong.
Now, my No. 1 barrier to healthy eating is the prep — I do like cooking and I actually enjoy healthy meals packed with loads of veggies. So it really makes sense to use tools that make all that chopping quicker and easier. And, in the last year or so, I’ve started to use nicer and nicer knives. It makes SUCH a difference in both my meal prep and my attitude toward it.
(No. 2, for the record, is the clean-up because, UGH.)
Anyway, a month or so ago, the folks at Precision Kitchenware contacted me saying that they had these swanky new professional chef grade ceramic knives available — called P600 knives — and asked if I’d like to test them out, do a review, and if I really, really, really loved them, join their affiliate program. (Spoiler: We’re totes affiliates now, so if you like what you see below, using this link to learn more would be A-OK. If you want to see how they perform, check the vid below or head over to Instagram!)

Testing out some new knives today and giving you a sneak preview. More details coming on www.fitbottomedeats.com on Wednesday! #ad #chopchop #alltheveggies #mealprep

Long story short, I’m really, really glad I did. My prep time has been cut (no pun intended, even though I did just make myself laugh) waaaay down with the P600 knives, and although I’ve been using my knives pretty close to daily since I received them, I haven’t noticed any wear and tear on them.

If you’re geeking out a bit, here’s more info you’ll like:

• You can order the three sizes pictured here (8 inches, 6 inches and 4 inches) for $69 right now (which is 75 percent off because they’re new and Precision Kitchenware is trying to get the word out), plus 7-day shipping in the U.S. is free.
• The P600 knives use zirconium ceramic blades — they’re said to be 10 times harder and sharper than steel.
• If you don’t like them, you can return them within 30 days and get a full refund.
• Want to know more? You can check out videos, other reviews and, if you so choose, order yours here.

Okay, that is about as sales-y as we’re really ever gonna get ’round these parts, but when we try something we love, we really like being able to share with you all.
So, let’s talk about the knives in your lives. Do you have a set you love? Do you have solid skills? Make your point (har har) below! —Kristen
