Basic Knife Skills
Choosing a chef’s knife that’s right for you and suits your needs is one of the most important decisions you will make when equipping your kitchen. Your chef’s knife is the number one tool that you will constantly and consistently use. My advise to you is not to skimp and try and get off cheap.
You really don’t need any number of those crazy tools and gadgets that you see displayed down at your local kitchen store. Avocado slicers, tomato dicer; what’s this, a lettuce knife? Please!
I like having gizmo’s and gadgets just as much as the next guy, but when it really comes down to it, you really only need two knives: a 10” chef’s knife and a 6-7” utility knife.
