Setup and First Use
Before initial use, it is recommended to wash the knives thoroughly. Although the knives are dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended for preserving the blade's sharpness and the handle's finish over time.
- Carefully remove each knife from the wooden gift box.
- Wash the knives with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spots and maintain the polished surface.
- Store the knives back in their wooden box or in a knife block to protect the blades and ensure safety.
Operating Instructions
The WMF steak knives are designed for precise cutting of cooked meats, especially grilled items. Their sharp, serrated edge allows for clean slices without tearing the meat.
- Grip: Hold the knife firmly but comfortably by the handle. The ergonomic design provides a secure grip.
- Cutting Technique: Use a gentle sawing motion with the serrated edge to cut through meat. Avoid excessive force, as the sharpness of the blade is sufficient.
- Surface: Always use the knives on a cutting board made of wood or plastic to protect the blade edge and your countertops. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like ceramic or glass.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your WMF steak knives.
- Cleaning: While dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended. Wash immediately after use to prevent food acids from corroding the steel. Use warm water, mild detergent, and a non-abrasive sponge.
- Drying: Always dry the knives immediately and thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots and rust, especially on the blade.
- Storage: Store the knives in their original wooden box or a dedicated knife block to protect the blades from damage and prevent accidental injury. Do not store loosely in a drawer where blades can dull or chip.
- Sharpening: The serrated edge of these knives is designed to retain sharpness for a long time. If sharpening becomes necessary, it is recommended to seek professional knife sharpening services for serrated blades.
- Material Properties: Made from Cromargan stainless steel 18/10, these knives are rust-free, dimensionally stable, sanitary, and acid-resistant.
Troubleshooting
