What kind of steel do you use for your knives?
Our Chef, Paring & Serrated Knives are made with AUS-8, a high-carbon Japanese stainless steel that offers a great balance of edge retention and durability.
Where are your knives made?
Our knives are made with imported Japanese steel and manufactured just outside of Shanghai.
How often should I sharpen my knife?
How often you need to sharpen your knife depends on how often you use it! At a minimum, we'd suggest 1-2 times a year.
How should I clean my knives?
We highly recommend washing your knives by hand with soap and warm water and drying immediately afterwards.
Please do not put your Misen knives (or any high quality kitchen knife) in the dishwasher. Dishwashers can dull or even damage knife blades and handles.
How should I store my knives?
Please don't store your knives unprotected in a drawer! Other items in the drawer can damage the edge and the knife itself could injure wayward hands reaching in.
Magnetic strips, knife blocks, knife trays, and blade guards all have their advantages, and we’d suggest choosing the one that works best for you.
How does your lifetime sharpening program work?
A sharp knife = safer + more fun to use. While your Misen knife will arrive sharp, with continued use over time it will go dull, as all knives do. We realize not everyone wants to take the time to learn how to sharpen their knives at home (but they should!), so every Misen Chef's Knife comes with lifetime sharpening.
We’re putting the final touches on our Lifetime Sharpening Program but should have the webpage live very soon! In the meantime, feel free to direct any questions or concerns to hello@misen.co.
What is the composition of your 5-ply pans?
Misen Cookware starts with a layer of induction-compatible 18/0 stainless steel, followed by layers of aluminum & aluminum alloy. Finally, it is finished with a layer of food contact safe 18/10 Stainless Steel.
Where is your cookware made?
All Misen Cookware is manufactured just outside of Shanghai.
Is Misen Cookware dishwasher safe?
Yes! All Misen Cookware is dishwasher safe & extremely easy to care for!
Is Misen Cookware oven safe?
Yes! All of our cookware is safe in the oven up to 500ºF.
What stovetops are your cookware compatible with?
Misen Cookware is compatible with all induction, gas & electric stoves.
How do I clean my cookware?
We recommend using a dishwasher or warm soapy water with a plastic scouring pad or sponge. If you have food that is caked on, try a mildly abrasive cleaner like Bar Keeper’s Friend. Make sure to completely dry your cookware before storing it.
How do I preheat my pan?
In order to prevent your ingredients from adhering to your stainless steel pans, you must properly preheat them. Without preheating, the proteins in your food instantly adhere to the cold pan and will be a pain to work with. To see the preheating method in action, click HERE
What does Misen mean?
Our name comes from 'mise en place'- a culinary term that means "to put in place." Chefs use the term to describe the process of setting up their stations before service. Misen is an ode to mise en place; better cooking through proper preparation with quality tools.
