Care and Use of Cutlery Knives
Isn't cutlery knives? The answer is no, it is tools used for cooking, and the slicing of the food, and for used to eat. Today's topic will be the care and use of cutlery knives. Is there a significant difference between knives? What knife do you use to slice and dice food? I will answer all of those questions and discuss the care and safety issues while using knives to prepare food.
Cutlery does not just refer to a knife it also refers to forks and spoons, as well as knives. There are a number of different knives that each are used for a specific purpose. Butter knives, for example, are used to spread butter on bread. Steak knives are used to cut through steak meat. A butcher knife would be used to cut through the larger cuts of meat.
There are a lot of different knives that we use in our daily food preparation. Knives with a short blade on them are used for peeling vegetables or a fruit like an apple. In looking at the blade of a Butter Knife, you will notice it has a very dull, non cutting blade. It is made for spreading different foods. Next you will see the ragged edge of the steak knife, it will cut through several types of meat including steak. It is important to know the purpose each of your knives.
Do you have a favorite knife that you use most every time you are making food for cooking? Then you know what you like as far as knives go. You can buy a knife for as little a five dollars, and the price can go all the way up to hundreds of dollars. There are specialty shops that sell the high end priced knives. It's all about what you want to spend for a knife, and how much you use that knife. Just remember whatever knife that you choose, that you select the correct knife for what it is meant to be used for.
I can't stress enough to be safe when using any knife. When you reach down to pick up a knife, grasp it by the handle, get careless can result in a cut hand or finger. Before you start to prepare your food, watch where your hand is in relation to the blade of the knife. Make it a habit to take just a moment to think about your hand and fingers.
Caring for you knives will make them last a long time. Start by washing and drying your knives by hand. By drying them well, they are less likely to start rusting. Let's talk about storing your knives. One way is to wrap your knives using plastic sheathing to cover the blades. Then place them into a drawer.
Another idea to store your knives is by using a wood block built for specifically for knives. These are very popular, and the block can sit on your kitchen counter. If you use a wooden cutting board, or a hard plastic board, this is better for the blades of your knives. Using a marble or cutting board made of stone can and will dull the blades of your knives, and will eventually damage the blade.
To sum this up, caring for you knives will insure they last for several years. Each knife has its own job, and is used just for that purpose. Keep safety in mind while using knives for food preparation. You've learned how to store you knives properly.
