Favorite things giveaway: Wusthof cook’s knife {closed}
137
I’m so excited to be giving away some of my favorite things in the coming weeks, Oprah-style. At first, I wanted to give away the obvious – calypso music and sweater capes.
Nah. 😉 Really, a Wusthof knife immediately came to mind. A Classic cook’s knife is without a doubt my most used tool in the kitchen (so much, in fact, that I treated myself to another one, so I wouldn’t have to wash it between cutting raw meats and vegetables when prepping a meal). It is the knife I grab 99.9% of the time.
Today, Wusthof is giving you the chance to win one of their new Cook’s knife – a 6″ extra-wide. This knife is great. It has the heft of an 8″ blade without being unwieldy. This knife is a great combination of the agility  and ease of control you get from a smaller blade combined with the strength of a larger one. Personally, I’ve always preferred a 6″ blade, anyway, but having the extra width is a definite bonus.
Use the form below to enter for your chance to win. This giveaway will end Thursday, December 19th at 11:59pm EST. And, be sure to check out Wusthof on Facebook and Twitter, if you aren’t already following.

Onions…always onions.
Love a trust knife for chopping especially around the holidays….onions here I come!

Onions. They don’t bug me, but once Mike sees them on the cutting board he can no longer help me in the kitchen because the onions are “killing his eyes” haha. 😉
Onions! For sure!
I want to enter, but the rafflecopter thing isn’t working (I’ve tried on several browsers) sooo …. hopefully this counts but if it doesn’t, oh well 🙂
Hmm, I don’t know why it’s not working for you, but I just went ahead and entered you under this email address. 🙂
Garlic…it’s so small! I’m always afraid of cutting myself.
Onions – my eyes water like crazy! But it’s always worth it. 🙂

Onions – I cry every time.
Pumpkins. For sure!☺
I don’t like prepping or chopping butternut squash. The sappy stufff… gets on my hands!
Garlic – because it just sticks to everything. I actually like chopping onions; I think my contacts block some of the gas that causes the tears because it doesn’t have much effect on me.
Onions! Always tears!
I hate cutting onions!
Just starting from Scratch – Lost all of my Kitchen to the other half who doesn’t even cook…
Left me with Plastic Flatware – lol
I would put Many Miles On that Knife~~
Love Your Blog – at least I have My Lap Top 🙂 Happy Holidays!
Onions, obviously.
Broccoli. Little bits get all over the place.
I hate chopping almods. They seem to launch themselves EVERYWHERE and I spend more time finding the escapees than actually chopping.

Winter squashes are by far the hardest which makes them so difficult.

Carrots – they roll around everywhere, jump off the cutting board and splinter rather than cut cleanly.
onions!
Onions do make my eyes water a lot, but despite that, with a very sharp knife anything’s a joy to cut.
Onions! No thanks!
My least favorite thing to prepare is meat… esp if it involves chopping it apart, ie: a whole chicken.
I would have to say garlic. Onions are a close second, but I found if you run them under water after peeling, it seems to help the burn.
Fresh herbs, especially thyme!
I have this knife on my Christmas list! I really hate chopping tomatoes.
I absolutely detest spatchcocking a chicken. It’s my favorite way to cook them (they cook so! fast!), but removing all those bones is a pretty quick way for me to hurt myself somehow!
Any melon…cantaloupe, watermelon, etc.
I hate chopping garlic and jalapeños!
big squashes, like butternut. Oh, and rutabagas, they are so hard to cut into!

I hate chopping garlic because it’s always so sticky. I remember someone giving a trick to make it less so, but I can’t remember what it was.
Butternut squash–I’m always afraid I’ll chop my fingers off because it’s so hard to cut through! For whatever reason, onions don’t bother me.
Onions. Vomit.

Butternut squash–it leaves such a strange residue on my hands!
