BUTCHER KNIFE IS THE BEST

it is a fact that I always do the cooking in my kitchen, preparing the ingredients and things that are needed in cooking. I rarely let my kitchen assistants to do the cutting and slicing of the ingredients. It is because I want to make sure the ingredients are cut as I wanted it to be. I cannot just rely on them always. That is why I make the cutting and slicing myself. In my kitchen, there are many knives available, just name it and I have it. There is for the small cutting, the for the heavy cutting, used often for bones and the always cutting.

As A chef, I think the most useful knife in my kitchen is my butcher knife. It is because when I am using a butcher knife, I feel like the cutting tasks is so easy and I feel convenient when I am using the butcher knife. In the China, the chefs there often use the butcher knife in their cutting needs. When I first started using the butcher knife, I feel awkward because I felt like the knife was too heavy for the slicing and the cutting. After several weeks of using the butcher knife, I felt like it was light and easy to use.

Aside from the cutting and slicing, the butcher knife is also excellent is bashing of garlic and other spices that I used in all the cooking in my restaurant and as well in my home kitchen. Using the butcher knife, I can slice finely the garlic, onions, ginger, carrots and other vegetables without using a blender. I can cut them precisely as I wanted it to be. A chef knows what is a good knife. And for me, the butcher knife is the best.
