Cuisinart Contour Ceramic 6" chef's knife

Pros: Attractive design, comfortable handle, nice protective cover
Cons: Doesn't do tomatoes; barely does radishes and celery

• The Cuisinart Contour Ceramic 6" chef's knife looks cool. I was actually planning to buy a 7" serrated knife, but this one claimed to be super sharp. And it claimed to never need sharpening (since it can't be, because it's ceramic). So I thought, "Hmm. Maybe this will do tomatoes, like other neat knives I've seen on TV." Well, this one doesn't do as good a job as my tried-and-true Global knives. It's just OK. The blade seems thick when you cut, you know? Except for the cool factor of having a white blade, I'm not that impressed. I'd rather use a metal knife. It's safe to say that this is my first – and likely my last – ceramic knife purchase. Thinking of buying one of these? Give it a miss.

Mr. Clean Bliss latex-free gloves

Pros: Warm and cozy inside; insulate well in hot water
Cons: Imperfect gripping; white color picks up "stainy" foods like spaghetti sauce
 
• Saved by the glove! I like my new Mr. Clean Bliss latex-free gloves. I'm on my second pair, because one day I accidentally sliced one of the fingertips – I was sure glad the glove took the cut rather than my finger! I like the thick, sturdy design of these gloves. They're soft and warm inside, and they insulate well against fairly hot water. I'm not crazy about the froufrou edges on the glove base (but some people will like it). And their "medium-grade" gripping abilities are nothing to write home about. In a perfect world, there would also be a counterpart men's glove. (Which I'd buy.) Until something better comes along, these work fine.
