Learn knife skills like a pro chef so you can create health meals at home with confidence! Lift your LIFE with LAURA #healthyrecipes #cookingtips
Knife skills are probably THE MOST important thing you need to know as a home chef. 

But, before you start chopping away, you need to have SHARP knives, the sharper the better.  Think about it this way...  a sharp knife goes where you want it to go: THROUGH the food.  A dull knife slips and goes where you don't want it to be: YOUR FINGERS.

By pinching the knife blade, you have much better control over the direction of the knife blade. It's also a more secure way to hold it!

Holding the knife handle only (instead of the blade and the handle) gives the handle and your wrist more "wobble"... Not good!

​
Once you have nice sharp knives, it is important to hold a knife correctly.  As shown in the images below, you want to grip not only the handle of the knife, but also the blade.
Now go forth and chop those veggies with CONFIDENCE!
