I've been lucky to avoid power outages in my most recent home, with one exception: During the 2022 Stanley Cup Playoffs. My wife and I were watching the Colorado Avalanche when the power went out. Bummed that I was going to miss the rest of the game, I looked out the window and saw that my neighbor had the game going via his outdoor projector, which was plugged into an Explorer 1000 v2. Lesson learned.
Its two USB-C ports, one USB-A port, one DC car port, and three AC outlets mean you can charge your tech as well as run a space heater. For an extra $250 you can add solar panels, which can charge this from 0-80% in just 2.4 hours.
Food for thought: That roast you just cooked may be blissfully tender, but your guests will never know if they're stuck with dull-as-dishwater knives.
What's that? Eleven blades is not sufficient for you and your brood? Dig this stellar deal.
At 40% off, this discount brings the knife set to an all-time low price — that alone is enough to make our ears perk up, but the fact that you're getting 11 pieces for less than the cost of many single knives? Yeah, this is one price slash worth taking advantage of.
The McCook 11-piece knife set will transform your kitchen experience — your food prep will be faster, more efficient and safer. Each piece is crafted with stainless steel that's durable and easy to care for. They have a brand-specific taper grind edge technology that offers maximum sharpness for precise cuts. The knives also have ergonomically designed handles that fit perfectly (and securely) in your hands.
The set includes an 8-inch chef knife, 6-inch meat fork, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch bread knife, 8-inch slicing knife, 5.5-inch serrated utility knife, 4.5-inch fine-edge utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, two pairs of kitchen shears and a natural acacia wood knife block with a built-in sharpener.
Over 26,000 Amazon customers are raving about these knives.
"Very well-crafted knife set," raved one shopper. "I love that these knives are each a single piece of forged steel. They won't fall apart over time. The wooden block also has a convenient knife sharpener built in."
"We have had these knives for several months now, and we were very surprised by the quality and sharpness of them," shared another. "They are extremely easy to clean, the storing case looks great on our counter and it is a perfect set for everyday use."
"I was so happy to see the selection of knives that come in the block," said a third. "My husband loves serrated blades and I love straight blades. This kit has them both ... Also, they have a beautiful look to them and feel great in your hand."
"These look great, feel great in my hand and are very sharp," wrote a generally pleased buyer. "I also like the sharpener built into the block. ... The only thing I don't like is that it says 'McCook' on the front in contrasting paint, and it just stands out. If you're in it for actual culinary-worthy knives and not just a decoration, these are amazing."
"These are the best knives I’ve ever had," raved a final fan. "They cut very easily, and the weight is perfect. I love the extra pair of utility scissors too, they will come in handy for crafting. I only wish this set came with steak knives, but otherwise I’m very happy with this purchase."
Psst: This No. 1 bestseller makes a smart add-on.
