I've been cooking nonstop ever since I moved out of my college dorm and got a proper kitchen. Everything about preparing a meal both relaxes and excites me. Similar to writing, I love how all the ingredients — both the ones that pair well and some that are more experimental — somehow come together to create a masterpiece. Typically, when I cook, I find it soothing to listen to music or enjoy a glass of wine to enhance the experience. During the winter, due to gray skies and brisk temperatures, I have to work a little harder at creating the optimal cooking environment.
Usually, that involves some type of comfort food, a holiday cocktail, or a cozy fireplace TV display to put me in the right mood. But recently, I've been using the Great Jones All Aboard & 6" Chef's Knife ($190, originally $210) and have found the vibrant green-and-pink colorway to be the exact pick-me-up I need for winter cooking. In fact, it's now fully replaced my typical everyday knife set and cutting board.
Keep reading for more details about the Great Jones All Aboard and six-inch Chef's Knife and to find out how the bundle's become a go-to tool in my home.
About the Great Jones All Aboard & 6" Chef's Knife
- The set includes a six-inch knife and a BPA-free cutting and serving board.
- The sharp and durable knife is made in partnership with Lamson.
- The cutting board has a textured surface and ridges along the perimeter to catch any juices.
What I Like About the Great Jones All Aboard & 6" Chef's Knife
I've been wary of cooking bundles in the past because they either come with extra items that I don't need, or I end up using some items more than others, wishing I had purchased them individually. So I was a bit hesitant to try the Great Jones set, but having used it for three weeks, it has proven to be a vast improvement over my previous experiences.
The cutting board has two sides: one side has a bit of texture, perfect for cutting and preparing food, and the other side is smoother and can be used as a serving board. I've used both sides, alternating between the smoother one for a charcuterie display when I have friends over and the oversized texture side when I'm meal prepping.
The knife is ergonomically designed and fits perfectly in my small palm — I can securely grip it and dice, chop, and cut through a variety of foods. But most importantly, the broccoli-green board and raspberry-pink knife make cooking in colder temperatures so enjoyable. The bright colors truly bring sunshine into each meal, despite the gray skies overhead.
How to Use the Great Jones All Aboard & 6" Chef's Knife
Like all cooking tools, make sure both items are properly washed before using (especially if you're using both sides of the board for different foods — for example, switching from fruit to meat). Once they're washed, the rest is a breeze. Grab your veggies, fruit, seafood, or meat, and watch the knife slice through it all on the durable cutting board.
What to Consider Before Trying the Great Jones All Aboard & 6" Chef's Knife
If you're new to spending time in the kitchen, you might find the knife a bit too advanced. The sharp blade cuts seamlessly through everything but I wouldn't recommend it as a starting knife for beginners. However, if you're a more advanced cook, you'll find great use in the long and durable cutting board and cut-through-anything knife.
