3 years later, and this video is the first thing i send people to when they ask me about knife skills. Short, to the point and spot on. The one thing that is NEVER stressed enough, is have a sharp knife. Its mentioned as you did, but never stressed, how important a truly sharp knife is for efficient cutting. When I teach people cooking basics, I let them use my knives, and they always say the same things..... its scary sharp, i didnt know knives could be this sharp, where did my finger tip go? Outside of ptofessional kitchens that do in house knife maintenance, its amazing how many people have never worked with a properly sharp knife

4:19 some chefs call this a back-slice. It's useful for cutting fragile things super thin because it minimizes up and down motion of the blade. E.g. when cutting green onion, it's useful to do this to avoid smashing the light green bits into pieces instead of getting nice little thin rounds.

@@usernameisunavailable8270 way I was told, "chopping" is a misconception. You ever heard the phrase "work the knife" or "let the knife work for you"? you're not chopping, your knife has a shape and length for a reason, what I like to call it is make it "dance" on the board, it's a simultaneous motion of "chopping" and "slicing", not one or the other, using the shape of the blade. You start with the tip of the blade down on the board and you slide it forward while you are pushing down, "Laying" the "belly" of the knife down to the board, then you pull it back and lift the blade up to make it stand on the tip again, and again go forward, make it slide and lay it down gently. It was actually a very familiar "dance" once I got the hang of it...if you know what I mean ;) Chopping like he does you are literally smashing your blade on the board with too much excess force like a jackhammer...not a nice thing to do to a knife or.... >D

I like the drag technique because of how ends the cut with the tip of the blade, leaving the sliced piece in place. It's great when you're trying to keep the shape of the cut pieces and not have them sticking to the blade or bouncing around landing under the blade again.

I got so frustrated from looking around KZread for knife guidelines videos in the kitchen but none of them were clear and on point like this one. Thank you, the world needed that

Fellow industry chef: the draw/drag has its purpose. For me, making an even brunoise or something of the sort is much easier with a drawing slice. With an bell pepper, for example, as you cut each slab into strips, the strips stay right where they were on the board rather than going everywhere on the cutting board or up the knife's side. So when you're done, the strips are all nice and organized for when you turn them 90 degrees to finish the brunoise. they all line up real nice so you don't have too many odd pieces

@colinwendt9992

I've seen a number of videos where cooks genuinely discard it. If you want to use it, rotate it in such a way that it sits flat and stable and continue cutting. This is another general rule of thumb with preparing all ingredients; sit the flattest side with the most surface area down on the cutting board. Like using a sharp knife correctly, this will greatly reduce the chance of injury.

@KnippenbergKnives

4 жыл бұрын

I can't tell if that's the issue here, but if I'm cutting with a dull knife I need a strong grip on the onion to keep it in place and hold it together. And a strong grip does not go well with the claw method. Your knife should be sharp enough that you don't really have to hold the onoin, but just support it with your fingers and guide the knife against your knuckle.

Stock pot. Just keep the large chunks in the freezer to use in the pot next time you make stock. In a restaurant you make different soups and stock almost continuously so you can just put the ends where things are getting to small to cut safely into the stock. At home just keep a container in the freezer to keep them in until the next time you make stock. You strain the stock when you’re done making it so a few odd sized offcuts doesn’t add any extra work, while adding depth to the stock.

also rly late but it also depends on the type of knife used , japanese style knifes (which usually do not have a thick part at the heel of the knife but rather just sort of keep the same shape all over the blade) are usually held like josh did here , while western knifes usually are held at the grip instead (ofc this still varies heavily from chef to chef)

I'm 64 and just learned during pandemic incarceration watching YT vids.

I absolutely love my octagonal handle. So freakin comfortable. And the sharpness, most important thing, even if you don’t have super expensive knives

Awesome advice - thank you!

can confirm, if you work in a kitchen and you don't tuck your fingers the chefs will correct you immediately. I worked in a kitchen for only a month and they ingrained that into my head so years later I still only slice with my fingers tucked, or in the claw, like it's called in the video.

Nobody’s ever corrected me and I’m 5 years in, maybe they judged in their heads without helping me 😂

When you were cutting the mushrooms in the beginning it reminded me of Colette in Ratatouille lol “You cannot be mommy!”

Thanks for explaining that knife grip, Joshua, I knew I needed to choke up a bit with my grip but I definitely wasn't doing it right until I saw this.

2 years old but still a great video. Thanks man. I appreciate you

Can we all just take a moment to truly appreciate the magnificent locks of hair this man possesses. Your hair is gorgeous dude.

It’s like he knows I’m starting culinary school in the fall and is like that guy needs a few good pointers thanks Josh for thinking and our potential medical

Ohh you will get a lot of practice when doing food prep before service if your school has a restaurant. My culinary school was at a community college and we had a cafe.. 9am-11am was food prep and 11-1 was service hours. Julienned a lot of veggies for some of our dishes when we were on the line station.

Your knife set is my goals

great info! Thanks Josh!

When you just open KZread, and see that this video was posted 26 seconds ago.

2 years late but here goes; I try to use the claw method in my kitchen but I find it much harder to maintain the closer you are to the end of the thing you are chopping or if you are just chopping something small. How do you maintain safe control while maximizing the yield from the ingredient you are chopping? Best example is mincing or petite dicing garlic.

best video, just what I was looking for!

Simple, efficient, congrats

The only knife skill you need : carefullness. Grab your knife however you want, keep your other hand out of the way, and go slow. To give you a little perspective, cutting an onion will take a minute for an amateur and 15 seconds for an expert, but think of it this way : in your home you're gonna chop 2 onions for your lunch/dinner, that means the expert is gonna save 90 seconds compared to you. In a restaurant, a kitchen aide is gonna chop hundreds of onions. At the end of the day he's gonna save hours. So yes, sure, it's nice to learn those techniques, but don't beat yourself up if you don't know them, and beat others up when they snob you just because they do know them.

All you have to do is make a claw and put your thumb in a place. It's not exactly like he's teaching rocket science.

I'm chopping by myself 10kg of onions every week for caramelized onion, throwing it into a kitchen aid is just gonna crush them and waste all the juice, all the flavour, the sugar. We only use kitchen aid for actually tedious manual labour like kneading dough for pastries, pastas, etc. most kitchen I worked at didn't even had kitchen aides only in pastry sections.
