Do you think it’s necessary to buy an entire kitchen knife set?


Found this on Amazon:

I’m not sure I’ll use all of these, just getting into cooking but if I need them it does look nice. Only $52.

Only if you're planning to kill someone.

Necessary? No. A professional chef would likely tell you the same. If you've just started to live on your own, or are planning to, you buy a few general use knives in a few different sizes, then you figure out what you need after you've made a few meals. People are creatures of habit, so you'll likely figure out what you need after two weeks of cooking.

You need a good full-size knife for slicing stuff, a smaller knife, and a serrated knife. Those will get you through every situation.
