Knife skills 101

Everybody who has cooked in my kitchen knows that I’m really fussy about how my knives are used and cared for. Good kitchen knives are expensive, so don’t store them in a drawer where they’ll loose their sharp edges, and don’t use them as substitutes for other tools.

Also, knives have specific designs to make the work of slicing, chopping and cutting easier. Working with the design, using proper grips and motions will make your cuts much easier, neater and safer for you - the cook.
