More Knife Skills

Knowing proper knife skills will give you much more confidence in the kitchen. Although I have decent knife skills, I still watch these to refresh my memory. We all get lazy.

I’m including more than one chef, since they all impart information and individual styles in a different way. I got something from each, and I hope you will as well. One thing I always tell friends learning to cook is that they should first invest in good knives and knife skills - both go much further than all the expensive, cutesy food choppers and gadgets out there ( most of which are designed for people with no knife skills).

I love this one on garlic. I’ve stood there and watched people struggle with peeling and chopping garlic, and wondered “WTF?” Even worse, are all those stupid little garlic peeling, crushing gadgets. Who has the money or storage space for all that crap? Learn to use your friggin’ knives.
