Set Knife
Is there much point getting a Knife Set?
I am a home cook and recently purchased a good quality Global Chef’s knife for $100 in Australia. It seems to do everything. What is the advantage in having a whole set of knives?
Th advantage of a knife set is that you have everything you possibly need to produce. I usually get german knife (cost a lot $$) but worth it. Most knife set comes with a lot of knifes, some get used but not all.
For exsample: cleaver knife is used for hacking big meat. Lets be real your not probally going to use it.
8′ inch chef knife is always the preferred knife of them all. 10′ inch chef knife is good too but most people like to use the smaller 8′ inch one. When I was in the prep kitchen we always use 10′ inch chef knife cause we cut a lot of veggy with them.
Knife set are good to look at unless you know how to use it.
-Chef knife: Common used knife for almost everything from slicing, cutting, to chopping.
-Bread Knife: Of course its used to cut bread cause its serrated and is also used to cut most frozen veggy.
-Carving Knife: Carve large meat.
-Pairing knife: Cut tip off of something small like strawberry and used to peal fruits and dice small veggy. Also carve fruits into decoration. (like apple bird)
These knifes I listed are not all but the more common knife people always use. I would recommend not getting a knife set unless its a bargain and always make sure its QUALITY! I say get a 8 or 10 inch chef knife, bread knife, pairing knife, kitchen sheer, and Fish Knife is optional. Thats all you really need to do everything. Oh yeah and if you eat while using a knife, get Steak Knife.
I personally don’t use my cleaver that much.
TIP. Buy forge Stainless Steel. Don’t get ceramic knife cause it can break even though you like he sharpness of it. Check to see if the sharp edge are even by putting the knife edge down on a level surface. If knife edge are not evenly sharpen you will have a had time doing chiffonade. (cut stuff into tin sliver like basil)
Hope this help you!
