Of Knives

Being a chef, I would of course, adore cutlery and crockery - and I totally love knives. The really cool knives make me drool. Literally. My mom got me a set of really awesome knives! Really amazing stuff. The most elaborate set of knives I've ever had. I have to love my mom for this!

Here are the kinds of knives included in the set:

Paring Knife - For cleaning, paring, peeling and slicing small fruits and vegetables.

Steak Knife - Used for cutting main courses such as steaks and chicken. It is usually a 4-6 inches long knife.

Boning Knife - it's got a long narrow blade used to remove the main bone within a cut of meat, such as beef roast.

Utility Knife - It's a small, light-weight knife having a 4-7 inches long blade and is used for miscellaneous light cutting such as fruits and vegetables.

Carving Knife - A knife used to cut slices of cooked or smoked meat, poultry and fish. The blade is thin, and is constructed with a round or pointed tip.

Santoku Knife - It is commonly used to prepare ingredients for Asian food dishes. With a thinner blade than a chef's knife, the santoku can cut smoothly and more precisely through dense vegetables.

Chef's Knife - It's an all purpose kitchen knife used for mincing, slicing, chopping vegetables, slicing meat or even disjointing large cuts of beef.

P.S Previously I had a set of 7 knives, so yeah, promotion ^_^
