Frost Magazine has raved about the Tormek T-1 Kitchen Knife Sharpener before – with its fine-grained diamond grinding wheel, it’s both exquisitely beautiful and incredibly useful. The first real knife sharpener for the home chef, unusually for a home device, it sharpens the entire bevel of the knife, achieving professional sharpness in minutes.

So we thought our readers would be interested in Tormek’s recent Sharpen Up Your Sunday campaign. After surveying 2,000 adults, they discovered that 24 per cent of UK households sit down to a Sunday roast every week but that blunt blades were turning the traditional meal into a recipe for disaster.

Samuel Stenhem, CEO of Tormek warns us that ‘Blunt knives can be more dangerous than sharp ones, as they require greater force and are more likely to slip, turning simple kitchen tasks into a potential recipe for injury. Instead, a truly sharp knife makes chopping, slicing and cooking an absolute joy.’

Richard Bertinet, chef, author and baking expert, comments ‘At the Bertinet Kitchen Cookery School, we use knives every day, so we know just how important it is to keep them sharp.

Whether you’re learning the basics or working at a professional level, every chef will tell you that a sharp knife gives you greater control and helps you get the most out of your cooking. If you’ve invested in good knives, it makes sense to keep them sharp.’

So if you’re inspired to lift your Sunday roast to a new level, do check out the Tormek on-line shop for the most effective kitchen knife sharpener around.
