Know Your Knives

KnivesIf you’re going to cook, eventually you’re going to have to know how to use a knife. SAFETY NOTE: Make sure you have permission from your grown-up before you even touch a knife. We’re not playing around here.  Get permission and things will go more smoothly for you.

Now, let’s talk about the knives you’ll want.  I call them “The Big Three”.

#1 – Chef’s Knife

This is the workhorse of the kitchen and the knife you’ll eventually start using All. The. Time.  Size varies from 6″ to 10″.  Personally, I’m a fan of the 8″ chef’s knife and use it the most in the kitchen, but you’ll want to work up to a knife this big.  A great knife to get started with is the next one…

#2 – Paring Knife

This baby is going to be the first sharp knife that you use.  It’s small, it’s sharp, and it’s easy to use.

#3 – Serrated Bread Knife

This knife looks like a mini version of a saw, and that’s the general idea when you use it.  You want to use this knife on anything soft that can squish when you cut it, like bread.
