  • 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 and your family. Learning to use a knife correctly will speed up your prep time, help guarantee even cooking throughout a dish and improve the look of your food, garnishes and plate presentations.

    This is an excellent primer on knife skills, we will definitely be adding some of these tips with our in person cooking class students as well as our UA-cam videos !

    What a beautiful chefs knife, you can tell it gets well used.

    Goodness gracious, that knife is sooo beautiful! I'm so jealous!
    I can see how, for people with less culinary experience, the terminology is a little daunting (no shade, my friends); if there's too much lingo, just focus on the physical aspect of the cuts and focus on relating it to your own personal cooking experiences. Cooking food and food preparation are intrinsic sorts-of-things: we do it each day and we do it for ourselves and people we love and care for dearly. That's all that's important. This fine chef is just informing you about certain cuts you might find in recipes, that are, honestly, quite different, depending on what you are prepping/cooking. I find that this chef did the instruction with hardly any presumptions and with bare minimum use of lingo and presented her knowledge more as a way to aid those people who so kindly take the responsibility of cooking in their household.
    Thank you, for the upload, kind sir. :)

    Cutting the ingredients in equal pieces will make sure all of them cook equally--even if you don't agree with it, it's a must.

    +Liam Kenna Even though it is a Shun and made in Japan, it is a French chef's knife in design. So it is pretty much a French knife even if it has never seen France because of the blade shape.

    You know, I’ve never really thought about it, but come to think of it, it’s probably for the same reason that some plumbers, computer programmers, train engineers, airline pilots, lawyers, nurses, biologists, authors, actors, insurance agents, sumo wrestlers, poker players, thinkers, non-thinkers, critics, geologists, delivery drivers, teachers, long-haul truck drivers, local truck drivers, office employees, politicians, CEOs, mechanics, doctors, etc. may be as well.
    Enlighten us.

      daAnder71: My understanding is that besides steels, generally German chef knives have a high tip, Japanese gyutos have a low tip, and French knives have a tip about halfway.

    @priyankachoudhury2965 6 років тому +4

    the key aspect that every chef should know is to make sure the knife is sharp as hell.... I didn't find it here... notice the to and fro motion of the knife while cutting a tomato and the pressure she applies while cutting the onion...
    in case u didn't get my point, watch Bruno Albouze cutting onion

    Nice video, very instructive. I just don't understand why anyone would do a suicide cut on an onion when the grain of the onion is already there. Just seems like a waste of time and a dangerous cut as well.

    • @b-radg916
      @b-radg916 5 років тому

      WonderDean: I assume you mean the horizontal cuts? I agree that those are too dangerous for home cooks. They seemed completely unnecessary after doing the "radial" cuts.
