One of my biggest pet peeves (I promise I don’t have many!) The decision of picking a knife from the block is one of my biggest pet hates. Then, I have to sit patiently to cook. It’s the norm for many cooks at home. The rack is full of kitchen knives that are tiny and small as well as a roasting knife. The rack appears to be the collection of beauty queens, maybe excluding the roasting knife. I didn’t think about the best knives for different ingredients. Sharpening a knife makes cooking more enjoyable. The process of cutting onions was tiring and time-consuming , leaving fragments of different sizes, with crude indentations from when my knife tried and failed to hack them apart.

In a kitchenware store that I first saw the illumination. A knife that is suitable for a technique of preparation can enhance the cooking process to become a pleasure. In addition, sharpening can be beneficial and , if you’re feeling roguish, a fully forged knife will allow your onion to be cut into even pieces.

Here is the list of knives that have aided my culinary training and could be beneficial to those who are bored with the dead-beat go-to knife that urgently needs replacing.

The Chef’s Knife

A reliable knife that is useful to use for everyday chopping. There are a variety of sizes available however the most well-known is 20 cm. It has a curved tip that lets you cut using a rolling motion for speed and accuracy.
