The Claw👋🏻⁣

Named after the shape that your hand should be making, the Claw is the fundamental and most basic technique every person should learn and get confident in when it comes to cooking💯⁣

I’ve always said that great knife skills are one of the biggest foundations for being a good cook👨‍🍳⁣

Being confident and efficient with a knife allows you to cut more precisely, evenly and with ease rather than force! All of which helps you be safer and avoid any kitchen accidents🏥🩹🤕⁣

Plus the better you are with a knife the faster you can prep food and then cooking/making food becomes shorter and less of a hassle! All of which makes for a more enjoyable experience and that's something I really want everyone to have✌🏼⁣

The Run Down:⁣
🔺With the hand that is not holding the knife, curl your fingers and thumb back like you are making a bear or animal claw⁣
🔺Keep this shape and rest the tips of your fingers on top of whatever you will cut⁣
🔺Your fingertips should be perpendicular to the surface of the food, with your fingernails and thumb act like a grip on the food and keeps it stable⁣
🔺The knuckles of your index or middle finger act as the guard and guide for your knife blade ⁣
🔺Then simply cut with the other hand, lifting the blade and slicing or chopping the food while using the knuckle of the claw as the guide⁣

Key Tips:⁣
🔺The food or ingredient never moves, it is the claw hand that guides how much you are cutting⁣
🔺Secure your cutting board with a wet towel, paper towel or even plastic grip mat (available at any department store), this gives you a sturdy surface to cut on⁣
🔺Wipe your blade after cutting ingredients that may be sticky, starchy or wet. A clean blade and clean board means less things to restrict you from cutting smoothly⁣

    The real skill is keeping the food stationary, while moving your hand back but without moving your thumb. I’ve done this a few times but couldn’t remember how I did it. This could be why I did it.

    The best and simplest vid i've seen on this. I always assumed that the fingers would get cut by mistake at some point.

    YES! FINALLY! All chefs think we learnt this technique in Culinary School but, those of us who just ventured into the kitchen, don't know where to put our fingers when cutting food.

    You definitely learn a lot actually working on the line and through other experienced chefs. Culinary school was basic of basic.

    That’s a Japanese poultry knife (Honesuki), not a vegetable knife.

    start by putting it face down with the largest surface area. if it’s round cut a small bit off one side so it has a flat surface to be on

    it’s dangerous though, you’ll get your fingers way easier that way
