Andrew Smith reviewed his Henckels Four Star knife set on Richmond Cookshop
I have just replaced my mish mash of old knives with this set. Very pleased. It is a really comprehensive selection including a cleaver which I have always wanted and a tomato knife which I am finding very useful. The knives are a joy to use and having the block with everything in its place is safe and neat.

Cleaning your Pasta Machine – the rollers must never get wet!!!
The rollers on your pasta machine are made from carbon steel. If you wash them with water, they will rust, no matter how careful you are. Rusted and pitted rollers, will tear in to your pasta as you process it, and will ruin it.
you may clean the main frame with warm soapy water and a soft sponge
work carefully, to ensure that water does not spill onto the rollers
dry immediately
clean the rollers by turning the handle, and running a pastry brush back and forth across each roller
Italian cooks have been doing it like this for generations!
store your pasta machine in a dry area
try to store it on a low shelf – it is quite a heavy gadget
