What is a chef knife?
A chef knife is a multipurpose food preparation tool that was originally intended for butchering large pieces of meat. Most chef knives are versatile and can be used to slice, chop, and mince a wide range of ingredients.
What makes a good chef knife?
When determining what makes a good chef knife, keep in mind that the best product is the one that suits your individual preferences and needs. However, you should also consider the weight of the knife, the size, and the balance the knife has in your hand.
Chef knife uses
Chef knife uses include chopping vegetables for soup, slicing fruit for pies and tarts, mincing herbs, and cutting meat for salads and entrees once it comes off the grill.
How to correctly hold a chef’s knife
To correctly hold a chef knife, grip the handle towards the blade with your thumb and index finger on opposite sides. Your other three fingers should loosely grip the finger guard.
How do you use a chef knife?
To use a chef knife, hold the food item steady with your non-knife, guiding hand. Then, use the tip of the knife as a fulcrum and rock it back and forth across the item, so the knife never leaves the cutting board.
From dicing fruits and vegetables to slicing chicken and steak, professional chef knives are perfect for a wide variety of kitchen tasks. These professional kitchen knives also feature blades that are made of durable materials like steel to handle the rigors of daily use. Many of our professional chef knives feature non-slip handles, are dishwasher safe, and are NSF listed, making them a high-quality choice for your foodservice kitchen.
