Knives & More
We use different kinds of knives in a professional kitchen however, you as a home cook don’t need every available knife to perform a certain task. No knives will be sharp forever and therefore it is important to give your knives some regular maintenance. I will talk about different branded knives and how to maintain their sharpness here. You can also follow my ”Cooking Guide” where I talk about ”what knife to choose” and ”what cutting board to use”. Or if you want a brief overview of all the different knife types that are available then go to the ”types of knives” page. And click here for the ”general knife maintenance” guide.
