Culinary Olympics – ERFURT (GERMANY)
McDonnells supported the Irish Team recently at the Culinary Olympics and match their professional abilities with professional equipment to compete with. Medalist and member of Team Ireland, Alan Fitzmaurice highlights the need to invest in quality….
“when you first use a F.Dick knife from the box the edge is completely turn, not like other brands which tend to over sharpen their knifes to give an impression that their knifes are better than they are. With the Premier Plus like other quality tools the edge must be sharpened regularly but this can be easily maintained with the Dick Titan oval Steel.
The slightly curved handle fits snugly in the hand and the first things you will feel is the weight and the perfect balance, which gives confidence while working with meat, fish or vegetables. As with the knifes the garnish kit from mini cranked palate knife to the zester and on to the peeler the quality of the tools shows through even down to the wide handles for easy grip while working with fruit and vegetables.
The Premier Plus Knifes from F.Dick are knifes forged in the traditional way with modern productions for professional chefs in all veins of catering but if you’re a “competition chef” F.Dick knifes are essential” Alan Fitzmaurice - Team Ireland, Olympic Winners 09
