    I was once told by my mentor in the kitchen, you have Your General (thumb) and your four soldiers (the other four fingers) you must protect your general at all time no matter what. And to this day, I always show the new prep cooks who don't know how to hold a knife this technique

    I'm brand new to cooking and have mostly been doing instant pot recipes and basics like Pasta, Grilled Cheeses, etc on the stove. Do you recommend a knife like this or something like a Chinese Cleaver? So far I've been using a little ceramic knife that doesn't cut very well.

  • @KnifewearKnives

    @KnifewearKnives

    5 ай бұрын

    Honestly, it just depends on what's comfortable to you. The Chinese cleaver is super versatile, and so is a good santoku or gyuto. It just comes down to what appeals to you most, and what feels comfortable in your hand!

    For starters, I'd recommend getting an inexpensive knife and a solid pull-through knife sharpener. You don't have to worry about messing up a cheap knife, you'll learn to maintain the blade, and you'll figure out what you like and don't like in a knife type only when you get some time with it. Then your next purchase will be more informed than any advice you can get from other people. For instance, I bought a cheap (less than 10$) 20cm/8in german style blade, used it for a few months. Realize I liked that style of blade, but that I'd like a shorter knife because I use the tip for precise cuts quite often. So I bought a higher quality 15cm/6in knife around 30$, and I love it. Way easier to control the tip of the knife.

    It is a very purdy knife! Although I have to admit, after 20+ years in kitchens my all time favorite is the 31cm Victorinox cooks knife with the rosewood handle (warm feel and can be sanded to the perfect hand shape). An amazing underappreciated workhorse, comparable to any German or Japanese offering imho. And only 100 bucks!

    Hard to say, but maybe you're gripping it too hard? If you tighten your hand up a lot, it can really tired it out.
