For a task repeated often, the right tool means everything. It can save time. It can give you a better end result. In the kitchen, the most important tool is the knife. Think of the many hours people spend cutting, chopping and slicing.
A lot of people cook with poor quality knives that are often dull – making them unsafe and hard to use. (Yes, I’m talking to you – my sister Julia – who’s knife I couldn’t cut an onion with!) I told her the next time I visited I would be bringing my own knife, and I was being completely serious.
A high quality sharp kitchen knife provides greater efficiency and precision so that cooking a meal becomes a much easier, quicker and more enjoyable task. I would know.
My chopping experience changed when I bought the knife recommended by Pioneer Woman herself. Ree is my blogging and cooking idol so when she recommended the Wusthof Classic Nakiri Vegetable Knife with Hollow Edge
I didn’t care how much it cost. But thankfully, it wasn’t as expensive as I had expected. (Phew!)
Now, I cut through onions and other vegetables like they’re buttah.
If you want to make the life of someone who spends a good amount of time in the kitchen a whoooole lot better, please get them this knife
If you spend a lot of time in the kitchen, get it for yourself. You need it!
(But remember that a really good kitchen knife is worthless if you don’t keep it honed and sharpened. I hone my Wusthof knife every time I use it.)
Having sharp, great knives will enable you to cook very precisely. Knife skills are essential in cooking. – Eric Ripert
