For me is WMF, because is dirt cheap when is sale in Singapore. My set is only SGD 150 for 6 pots or was it 6+1.

The SS is 18/10 . My Cutlery also from WMF

But for Chinese cooking, i don't use that. I use cast iron wok, is much more nicer to cook when you have a strong fire power stove.

I'm using WMF too. But I think WMF sets sold in singapore are not entirely made in Germany from what I've googled on reviews.

But my WMF set is from Singapore like Weikee's set and definitely worth the buy because considered very solid and also stainless steel. Both WMF and Zwilling brands have quality which is why they are worth buying, so there is no such issue on which brand is better.

If you compare their quality with other stainless steel pots/pans in the market then you know whether you are paying well for it or not.

The same set selling in KL is > 1k even after so call discount. Which I doubt is made in Germany. As long they come with QC and real 18/10 is good. I think the Zebra also can't fight with the Sales price in SG.

My set original price was above S$500 before it got discounted for christmas promotion. The original price tag was on it but I think the WMF ones with teflon coating and color series are likely to be made in Germany. 1 individual pot with the coating is in the range of S$350-400 when I last looked 2 years ago. My eyes went flat out looking at the prices.

WMF Stainless steel cookware is more affordable definitely. A good pan / pot should feel solid to me at least. Those with flimsy make is not going to make the cut for frequent cooking either.

Yes , and you should check out the same item here in parkson.

Their pressure cooker are cheaper in sg too, but not like the pots and pans crazy discount, think it still 20-30% cheaper.

Rinnai 3.6kW hob are synonymous with this type but mine was a Pacific inner flame hob aka Innergy. That one was really hot. Slightly off topic but the best hob I've used so far is Rinnai's 3 ring tornado (RB-2TS) which I got at promo price of RM700 7 years ago.

Rinnai is good. 700 for that hob is good deal.

We are way oot smile.gif

Talking about knives, I also crazy of getting my knives very sharp, and I have a bone chopping knive. I like the traditional Chinese knife that can easily rust. But is so darm sharp (if you know how to sharpen it). I spend nearly an hour to make a perfect sharp knife when is new.

To test how sharp a knife, try cut tomato.

No need la, I may not be the best sharper, but is sufficient to sharpen my knives.

This type will sharpen, but get blunt easy (from my and my family experience) And there also different way to sharpen for left handed person.

Here one website talking bit of sharpening.

hvn't tried that sharpener yet, as the knife still sharp enough to use  tongue.gif

Don't have the measurements, but from experience one night in restaurant use need to sharpen few time, while the normal traditional way last whole day.

Same with my boss. Used one or two only. And she wants those not so sharp knives cause sked cut herself.
That zwillings knife I "bought" recently also took years of convincing. Luckily exchange with points then ok only. If use cash sure no approve  sweat.gif  laugh.gif

The blunt/dull knife more dangerous, because the things you want to cut have more resistance due to the dull knife you need more strength once the resistance break it cut deeper and may injured the user.

Ceramic knife i don't find it very sharp after few round of usage, and because it can't be sharpen i don't like it.

Also don't forget is very brittle, when it drop is better it break into pieces, if it just have small crack, image you use it again to get meat or fruits the ceramic particle may drop into the food.

Any problem using ceramic knife cut meat?

Belly maybe is OK, but meat with bone is not good.
If hit bone it may crack, and frozen meat is also not good may crack if you twist and turn the knife.

Ceramic is strong, but not flexible. Blade like this usually we will twist and turn a bit left and right.

Unless you get the RM 10K over unit, my servery last time is not that cheap in Singapore not worth the hassle.

Oh, if you all using 18" or 19", the tires really cheap there. The branded type, not Chap palang.
