Kitchen tools seem to fall into two categories.
On the one hand, you have your general-purpose tools. You know, like the knives, pots and pans that you use all the time to make a wide variety of different dishes. The hallmark of a good general-purpose utensil is versatility . You can use the same knife to chop an onion, carve a roast and section a pineapple. On the other hand, by their very nature, general-purpose tools can't be equally good at everything.
