Knives

Knives
 Left to Right: 
Cleaver , Chef's Knife, Serrated Chef's knife, Bread Knife, Fillet Knife, Paring Knife, and Chef Shears
  • Cleaver -used for large hard food items-larger butternut squashes, thin or soft bones that might chip another knife
  • Chef's Knife-My everyday go to knife-used for almost everything, my favorite.
  • Serrated Chef's knife-very similar but with serrations that will help release chopped items easily like potatoes, etc.
  • Bread Knife-serrated knife that cuts through breads, baguettes using a back and forth motion 
  • Fillet Knife-most commonly used for filleting fish, but great for cutting tomatoes without crushing them, and I also use this on mangoes to remove the skin from strips of mango.
  • Paring Knife-an everyday knife for cutting small things, removing eyes from potatoes, cutting mushroom shaped potatoes, etc.
  • Chef Shears-These are great for breaking down a cooked bird, or prepping meat for a recipe.  Heavy duty and can cut through cartilage between the pieces.
