]]> No kitchen is complete without a good set of knives, but it’s impossible to stick to them forever. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do your best to make them last as long as possible. If you want to prolong the life span of your kitchen knives, these five tips will get you there.

No Soaking

When it comes to clean-up, knives are best washed right away. Soaking them for prolonged periods of time is a huge no-no, especially if they come with wooden handles.

Avoid Dishwashers

Dishwashers are also best avoided when it comes to certain types of knives. They may chip, dull, or even corrode inside this kitchen machine, so it’s best to wash them by hand.

Stick to Food

Your kitchen knives were designed with food in mind, and that’s what you should use them for. They can technically be used to cut all sorts of other things, but don’t expect them to stay sharp for too long if you do this.

Right Cutting Board

The cutting boards play an important role in prolonging the life span of your knives. You should always go with wooden ones since they can preserve the knife’s blade.

Proper Storage

You should consider having a separate place for storing your kitchen knives, because they may damage other cutlery if they’re constantly bumping into each other.

]]> Knives are probably one of the most important tools in the kitchen. Each knife has a blade with a special purpose for different types of food, and when you master how to use each one of them, your food prep will be easier and your end results will be better. Here’s a short guide on some of the knives to have in your arsenal.

Chefs Knife

This is a really big, sharp knife good for mincing, slicing, chopping, and dicing.

Carving Knife

Just as it says in the title, this knife is good for carving or making thin slices, of fish or meat.

Paring Knife

This is a smaller knife good for peeling fruits or vegetables, as well as chopping more delicate foods like strawberries or mushrooms.

Bread Knife

This serrated knife is obviously best for bread, but it can also be used to cut fresh biscotti before the second bake, or for cutting slippery foods like pineapples and watermelons.

Santoku Knife

This knife is the Japanese version of a chefs knife. This is also good for chopping vegetables, but it also acts as a scooper to transfer the vegetables to a pan or bowl. You can even use it to cut meat.

Das Santoku Messer ist das typische Allzweckmesser unter den japanischen Klingenformen. Übersetzt bedeutet Santoku so viel wie „die drei Tugenden“. Als Tugenden werden dabei Fisch, Fleisch und Gemüse bezeichnet, denn das kompakte Messer ist ideal zum Schneiden dieser drei wichtigen Zutaten geeignet – ähnlich dem europäischen Kochmesser. Die breite Klinge des Santoku Messers sorgt zudem für eine spielend einfache Handhabung. Hinzu kommt der beidseitige Schliff des Santoku Messers. Damit ist es ein absoluter Allrounder in der Küche. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #culinaryworld #ZWILLING1731 #ZWILLINGJAHENCKELS #ZWILLING #MIYABI #MIYABI4000FC #santoku #santokuknife #messerscharf #japan #japanreise #messer #japanischemesser #messerkunde #facts #qualität #knivesofinstagram #damastmesser #tradition #handgemacht
