  • Basic Knife Skills Guide.Pdf
    Basic Knife Skills Basic knife skills are an important component of any culinarian’s repertoire - whether you plan to earn a living in the kitchen, or simply please yourself, your friends, and your family. Learning to wield a knife correctly will speed up your prep time, and food products fashioned in uniform shapes and sizes will help guarantee even cooking throughout a dish. In addition, the mastery of certain classic knife cuts and methodology will vastly improve the look of your food, garnishes and plate presentations. Overview of the lesson Goal: to impart a basic knowledge of knife safety, knife construction, the most commonly used kitchen knives, a few classic knife cuts. Equipment You won’t need any truly special equipment for this lesson. The bare minimum requirements are: A sturdy cutting board A (sharp!) chef’s knife A (sharp!) paring knife A vegetable peeler Hopefully, you also own a steel (a tool to hone your knife edge between sharpenings and intermittently during use). If you have a tourne or bird’s beak knife, that’s great – but not absolutely necessary. Shopping List Here’s a list of what you might like to have on hand if you want to try all the techniques I’m going to present: A bag of baking potatoes A bunch of carrots A few large, firm onions A few handfuls of leafy herbs or vegetables (large-leaf basil or spinach would be ideal, but cabbage will suffice) A couple of bell peppers Knife Safety The safe use of knives is imperative for obvious reasons.
