Kitchen knives

The vast majority of the world's population spends a lot of time cooking almost every day. This situation is due to the fact that it is necessary to accurately maintain the technological processes characteristic of a particular dish, otherwise it can result in indigestion, various diseases and even death when it comes to preparing a product such as puffer fish.

But there is one more condition, without which it is impossible to imagine preparing many dishes. Anyone who prepares food should have on hand not only food, but also good quality kitchen knives, with the help of which these products can be brought into the desired state and prepared for further processing, for example, with thermal energy.

Kitchen knives and their features

Good kitchen knives can significantly reduce the time you have to spend preparing food when you don't have them. Many people know that there is a fairly large number of varieties, which can be divided into three main categories:

• European knives;
• Japanese knives;
• special knives – the shape of kitchen knives in this category is usually selected for a specific type of product.

As for European and Japanese knives, this division appeared due to some differences in the products that are prepared in Japan and Europe. A special kitchen knife is more the result of progress than food preferences. They were invented and manufactured to simplify the work with specific types of products and speed up the process.

Set of kitchen knives

Before you buy a kitchen knife, you should decide for what types of work it will be primarily used. And, based on this, you need to decide whether you should buy other kitchen knives right away, or you can wait.

And yet there is a certain set that every self-respecting professional chef usually has. Among the most common tools, we can recall the following types of kitchen knives:

• chef's knife;
• bread knife;
• paring knife;
• utility knife;
• kitchen hatchet;
• sandwich knife;
• fillet knife;
• Santoku knife;
• cheese knife;
• Pizza knife.

These varieties mainly differ in blades. Professional kitchen knives have blades of different shapes, thicknesses and types of sharpening. But the shape of the handle also plays a big role. A good kitchen knife is a rather dangerous tool. They can easily cut you, so the absence of injuries depends on how comfortable the handle lies in your hand.

This is not a complete list of tools that make up the kitchen knife set of a specialist with extensive experience. But even with such a set, a true professional can easily cope with any task assigned to him. This especially applies to a chef's kitchen knife, which you should definitely buy. The chef can easily replace almost all other types of tools with it, performing cleaning, cutting, and chopping of any dense ingredients.

The length of the blade of a chef's knife is from 15 to 30 centimeters, the thickness is from 2 to 4 millimeters, and the width of the blade is from 40 to 47 millimeters.The longer the blade of kitchen knives, the wider the blade and the thickness of the material. Tools with a wide, long blade are often used as a spatula.

A standard has been adopted for chef's knives - manufacturers produce products with blade lengths of 15, 20, 25 and 30 centimeters. But some chefs use homemade kitchen knives, the sizes of which are selected individually for the chef.

If we talk about quality, then it is worth considering that the material from which the blade is made is of greatest importance. Recently, stainless food steel has been increasingly used in the manufacture of knife blades. This allows you to avoid rapid failure of the instrument and prevents various oxides from entering food. Sometimes a handmade kitchen knife is forged from high carbon steel.

Some manufacturers, in an effort to save material, resort to a certain trick - the part of the canvas that is covered by the handle linings is often “lightened.” This leads to a decrease in the strength of the tool, and it breaks at the most inopportune moment. This kitchen knife is worth buying only as a temporary replacement.
