A dull knife is a dangerous knife. It’s less efficient and productive too!
Dull knives require more force and can slip during cutting. That means more erratic cutting, less control, more chance for accidents, and more time for cutting tasks. It also can make a mess of your food and ruin the presentation (such as tomatoes in a salad).
Sharp knives need less effort to cut cleanly, quickly and precisely.
With proper technique, you can make short work of food prep. Greater kitchen safety, efficiency, productivity and visually pleasing food presentation are where it’s at.
How to tell if your knife needs sharpening?
Hold one end of a regular piece of paper in the air and try and slice through the free end. If the knife won’t cut, it’s time for a sharpening.
