Care:

Aogami #2 (Blue #2) steel is a premium Japanese high carbon steel for knife making. It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Aogami Super core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT BUY!!
Color: White
BUYER BEWARE - DO NOT BUY! We had the Maestri House Milk Frother for 5 months. It suddenly quit spinning. I contacted support as instructed in the manual. I received a reply that there is a 1 year warranty and to send my order # and video showing the problem. I did the same day. No response. I waited a week, still no response. I sent the order # and video again. It has been almost a month, I have sent 4 emails, and no one will get back with me. I found a phone number online but when I called there is an automated response with their hours and then hangs up on me. THIS ITEM WILL QUIT WORKING AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE! TERRIBLE PRODUCT. TERRIBLE COMPANY!

Excellent frother!!
Color: Black
If super silky froth is your game, this Maestri House frother is the name!! PERFECT froth from day 1!! Very solid and well made for a great price point (especially right now with a $15 coupon)! Even better than the higher priced model we had for years. So glad I took the risk!!

Almost perfect
Color: White
Stainless steel. Holds a large quantity of milk (enough for two). Works well with alternative milks. Easy to clean. Easy set up and instructions. Frothing, heating, cold foam, and hot chocolate options. Perfect temp. Not 5 stars because of the constant high pitched squeel sound it makes. Almost enough to make me return it!

Hot cocoa every morning!
Color: White
I absolutely love this machine. I make my hot cocoa every morning with it. It is so easy you just put the milk in and high-quality hot chocolate mix. Push the button and then it just whips it up and gives it a little bit of a froth on the top when it’s finished. It’s so fast and easy. It would be a great gift for anybody that likes hot chocolate.

Best way for hot chocolate
Color: Black
works great, I use it for hot chocolate. Easy to clean. Something to consider though the Max light may be a little lower than shown depending on the milk you use.
