Want to frustrate a cook?

Hand them a dull knife.

There are many kitchen tools that are a requirement to make a successful kitchen run well, and a knife is one tool at the top.

I have several knives, but I really only use these three, plus a bread knife.

What is paramount about a knife, is to take proper care of it, respect it, and keep it sharp.  Enter today’s Quick Tip Friday.

I have this Chef’s Choice sharpener, and I swear by it, but there are also many other sharpeners out there that sharpen knives well.

Depending on what I’m cutting, I find that on average I sharpen my knives every third to forth use.  I would recommend this practice as well.

It pays to take proper care of your knives, and to keep them sharpened,  If you don’t have a knife sharpener, you can always take your knives to a professional to sharpen them, just to tide you over until you can get your own sharpener.
