OK, admit it—when you watch a cooking show on TV, or attend a class
taught by a master chef, don’t you love watching those shiny knives
doing their jobs so quickly and efficiently, and don’t you envy the
chef’s knife skills? They make it look so easy, as they slice through
a ripe tomato as if it were butter, mince cloves of garlic in what
seems like seconds, or carve a roast into perfectly uniform slices.
It isn’t all just technique learned at culinary school---having the
right knife for each job makes a big difference as well.
Whether your cooking style is cutting edge or traditional, whether you
like playing around with complicated recipes or you prefer to just cut
to the chase, a good set of knives will not only help to make time spent
in the kitchen more enjoyable, but will produce better looking
results. Soon, other people will be envying your knife skills!
