]]> When exploring the world of cooking, knife skills are often underrated, with stars like seasoning and sautéing stealing the spotlight. But if you really want to level up your cooking game, mastering your knife skills is an absolute must. These tricks will have you chopping, dicing, and slicing like a true kitchen ninja.

The Claw Grip

Safety first: Keep those fingers intact by forming the “claw” with your non-dominant hand. Curl your fingertips under and grip the food securely. No more worrying about accidental cuts.

Rock and Roll

Get into the groove with the “rock chop” technique. Grab your chef’s knife, anchor it on the cutting board, and start rocking it back and forth. Perfect for blitzing through herbs, garlic, and veggies like a pro.

Master the Minced

Transforming garlic into a fine mince? No problem! Chop it up, then use the back of your knife to crush and drag. Before you know it, you’ll have perfectly minced garlic ready to elevate any dish.

Precision Slicing

Achieve uniform slices every time! Keep that blade close to the board and maintain a steady hand as you glide through your ingredients. Whether it’s tomatoes or meat, consistency is key.

]]> Knives are essential in the kitchen for obvious reasons. If you want to upgrade your cooking to a high level, the first thing to do is to be ready with the proper tools. Although there are many different types of knives, they can often get expensive. If you are looking to invest in something worthwhile, consider these three knives to begin with, and let your culinary journey continue from there.

Chef’s Knife

When you think of the classic knife, you’re probably imagining a chef’s knife. This blade is extremely sharp, and is best for mincing, slicing, chopping, and dicing. A chef’s knife can really be used for almost any type of cut, but those are by far it’s strengths as a knife.

Paring Knife

This is smaller knife works best for peeling fruits or vegetables when you don’t have a peeler handy, and chopping delicate foods like strawberries or mushrooms. It’s also a good starter knife if you are teaching a child to cook.

Bread Knife

This serrated knife goes beyond just being used for bread. This knife can also cut fresh biscotti before it goes in for the second bake, making sure you get even cuts on fruits like pineapples and watermelons, and especially slicing a cake into even layers.
