How to Use Kitchen Knives Safely
· Keep your knives sharp. But be sure to keep them out of reach of children. Dull knives can slip
while you’re cutting.
· Slice away from your hand and keep your fingers clear of the blade.
· Don’t ever use the palm of your hand as a cutting board. That’s just inviting the knife to slice
into your hand!
· Curl your fingers under and hold the food with your fingertips when chopping. Better to ding a
knuckle than slice a fingertip!
· Don’t lick the cream cheese off that butter knife! It really can cut your tongue.
· Secure your cutting board. If it doesn’t have rubber feet to help grip the counter, put a damp
towel under the board when cutting.
· Never slice things freehand over the sink. That’s just an accident waiting to happen!
Maintaining Your Kitchen Knife
Good knives need to be looked after. This means that you need to use, clean, sharpen and store
them properly. If you take good care of your knives they will continue to amaze you time and time
again.
Cutting
• Avoid sideways movements with the knife. After all, you could damage the edge.
• Look out for bones, frozen food and hard seeds. Not only do such hard things make your knife
blunt, they could even chip the blade. Such a waste of a great knife!
• Never put too much pressure on a knife. After all, a kitchen knife is so sharp to make sure it will
smoothly cut through anything.
• Always use a plastic, or even better, a wooden cutting board. Marble and glass are easy to clean,
but not good for the blade because they are too hard.
Cleaning
We advise you to always wash your kitchen knives by hand. Even if the supplier states that the
knife is dishwasher proof.
A knife with a wooden handle will visibly get damaged and a riveted handle will eventually tear at
the rivets. In addition, the handle can break because of the heat.
Aggressive detergents can cause irreparable damage to your knife. Detergent can affect hardened
steel and plastics and can leave specs of rust on the blade and leave you with dull handles.
In addition, when you clean your knife in the dishwasher chances are that the knife will come into
contact with hard objects such as cutlery that can damage the edge. And if you don’t immediately
turn the dishwasher on any food left on the plates (herbs, sauces, juices) can damage the blade
leaving you with stains.
Add up all the above mentioned arguments and you will understand why we advise you to wash
all your blades by hand.
Still prefer to wash your kitchen knives in the dishwasher? Make sure you place the knife in the
dishwasher with the blade pointing up to make sure the water will immediately fall down. As a
result you decrease your chances of rust. As soon as the dishwasher is done make sure you
properly dry the knife.
Sharpening
It doesn’t matter how careful you are, there will always come a time when you need to sharpen
your knife.
When you use a blunt knife you will automatically put more pressure on it, making the risk of
accidents bigger. As a result it is a good idea to keep your knives nice and sharp. After all, they
will also be much better to work with.
In terms of sharpening we recommend you don’t wait until the last minute. It is easier to keep a
reasonably sharp knife sharp than to get a blunt knife razor-sharp.
We are selling the knife sharpener in our store for sharpening your knives. You could try to find it
and learn more information about it. We will give you advices to sharpen your knife with our knife
sharpener by yourself.
Storing
Never store individual kitchen knives in a kitchen drawer. After all, it could bump into other hard
objects that could leave you with burrs on the edge. Not something you are looking for if you want
to keep your knife sharp.
In addition, it is probably not a good idea to blindly reach into a drawer that houses a sharp knife.
Certainly, when you have cleaned your pretty chef knife and dry it, you could try to store it in the
package that we have sent to you. It's will be better to use a knife guard, or, if you have one a knife
magnet or knife block.
