There are some kitchen tools that are must-haves. Even beginners know you need a reliable set of cookware, a sturdy cutting board, and sharp knives for all the cooking and prep work you do on a regular basis. But then there are the kitchen gadgets you didn't know you needed until you got one. And then all of a sudden, you're like oh, that's why my favorite cook on TV has one of those.
A magnetic strip on your wall to hold your kitchen knives is the perfect example. Ree Drummond had one in the Lodge's pantry back in the day to help keep it organized, and you'll see one in plenty of kitchens with open shelving concepts. They aren't just there to look cool (though they certainly do). They also help keep you and your knives safe while keeping them within reach as you prep.
As part of the newly revamped collection in honor of the tenth anniversary at Walmart, there's a pretty new option from The Pioneer Woman that's certainly a cut above the rest. Because while most magnetic strips look like well, what you expect magnetic strips to look like, Ree's new version has an acacia wood face with a lovely vintage lace pattern on it.
Of course, The Pioneer Woman Vintage Lace 15-Inch Acacia Wood Magnetic Wall Strip is as functional as it is fun. It can hold multiple knives and has keyhole hangers on the back with hardware included, so it's easy to install, too. Anything magnetic will stick to it, so that includes other metal utensils and kitchen shears.
Storing your knives properly is an essential part of taking care of them. It keeps the blades sharp and unharmed from other utensils and keeps your fingers safe so you don't cut yourself accidentally reaching in a drawer. But why a magnetic knife strip and not a knife block? Well, perhaps you have a small kitchen that lacks counter space or want to rid your counters of clutter. A strip can be attached to a wall or inside a cabinet.
And there's no harm in having both! Maybe you have more knives than your block can handle or you just want to have the convenience of having your chef's knife within in arm's length. That's the beauty of having a magnetic knife strip. And speaking of beauty, it certainly helps that the new one from The Pioneer Woman adds charm while keeping your kitchen organized. Now that's $18 well spent.
