Chopped and SCREWED. T Pain of having sucky knives.

UPDATE
title change was inspired by Sabina. (do you get what i added there, sabina? i know. I'm a Jeanius. What? I just did it again!)
After i sent a delightful email of complaint to the company that sent me the knives, they responded speedily. I might have received the demo, thus explaining the craptastic nature of the knife set. They claimed they had never received a complaint on this product and that the knives should come sharp. I returned the product and they should be sending me NEW knives (which it better be or i am going to blow a fuse. a huge fuse). Meanwhile, i bought a knife sharpener from IKEA. YEAYUH! (i <3 ikea) it's for insurance just in case the new knives suck and i dont want to deal with the whole returning and complaining ordeal again. I felt better the next day after i sent the email btw. I dont stay upset for long. =] Thank you all for listening to me rant!

Today was the first day in the kitchen.
My hands reek of onions.
We chopped, diced, julienned. It was fun. Hooray, right? No, because I sucked and my chef's knife sucked even more. Even if i tried to suck as much as my knife did I couldn't. It would be an impossible task. So, currently I am frustrated and angry. The chef's knife (which is the most important knife) that I purchased that came in a set was complete CRAP. The blade is far from straight. It is crooked, dull, and everything lame and stupid! I was trying to saw through an onion and it couldn't even do that! Yes, "saw" because it wouldn't even chop through the onion if i tried. frustrating! Some of the knives have handles with scratches and knicks on them. WTF! This was my first time using them. I called the site where I ordered the knives. It was passed business hours so I got the answering machine and of course I left a message. I checked the website and I'm supposed to report any damages 2 days after deliver. I received it on Tuesday, but I wasnt home when it was delivered. So as of my 2 days are over! FML! FML!FML! The "sucky" knife at home is like the best knife ever compared to this crap chef's knife. I've never been so irritated in my life. This also came with a vegetable peeler, which doesn't peel but butcher everything. So technically it's a vegetable killer. what a piece of crap!

Moral: They say money doesn't buy happiness. Well, let me assess this statement. If I had more money I would have been able to buy a knife of fantastic quality, where even the slight motion of the knife can cut through 10 bricks. Thus as a result I would have been happy. In other words, Money would have bought be happiness. The lack thereof bought me anger, frustration, murderous thoughts, hatred, and a bad mood.

Abestkitchen.com, this is for you. I HATE YOU.

  1. Jean, that sounds so frustrating and I'm frustrated for you. But don't let this knife ordeal ruin your culinary experience. I'm so excited for you to learn a ton of skills so that I can learn from you :) If I had some mullah, I'd def buy you a set of nice knives, if that means anything.

    Love you Jeanbean.
