Over the past 3 months, we’ve been living without a “real kitchen”. Sure, we created a somewhat functional kitchen in our office… but it didn’t have running water (so you can image how functional it really is!)

In an effort to simplify our lives while living without a kitchen (and without a bathtub or utility sink to wash dishes), we decided to use all plastic bowls, plates, cups, and utensils — yes, they are recyclable! We also used slow cooker liners to cook in our slow cookers, disposable plastic containers to store food, and disposable aluminum pans to bake in our toaster over.

It’s amazing how FEW dishes we had to wash this entire summer!

However, one of the kitchen items I simply could not replace with a disposable alternative was a good sharp utility knife (and yes, I did try — but cutting onions, fruits, and veggies with a plastic knife didn’t work very well.)

Thankfully, Wüsthof sent me their new Micro-Serrated 4.5-inch Utility Knife — and it has quickly become my new go-to knife for just about any quick cutting task.

I realize I’m not a master chef, but this knife makes me feel like a pro!

I’m a big fan of the smaller size — it’s big enough for any small to medium cutting task (no, I wouldn’t tackle a watermelon with this knife) but still small enough that my hand isn’t sore after using it. Plus it’s basically 2 knives in one (yay for space-saving) because it has BOTH a straight and serrated edge which really comes in handy.

I have a few really nice knives… but I’ve never sharpened them because I was sort of intimidated by the whole process. Wüsthof wanted to help me out here too, so they sent their 2-Stage Universal Knife Sharpener… and it honestly makes the whole process super easy. The knife sharpener has 2 notches to quickly and easily sharpen pretty much any knife you own; and it’s small enough to store right in your kitchen drawer.

After about 15 minutes, I was able to sharpen all my knives (they are ready and waiting for lots of use once our kitchen is finished!)

    Most of my knives have never seen the sharpener…bad girl, I know. Except for my chef’s knife….that I sharpen before each use.

    I have no idea why I ignore my other knives. LOL.
