PReP what all should I know about Chef Cutlery
Ah, the chef prepared, happily banging away at a constant rate. You do not have concerns about how the Hollandaise sauce is going to appear, or how demanding customers at table seven are. All you have to worry about preparing food is the right consistency before transferring to another person. You can go through the day in an almost Zen-like calm, just tending to the little things.
the best restaurants or lets you choose the tools, or have a good selection and are transmitted from previous chefs prepared. If you’re choosing your account, you can be tempted to call the 1-800 number, and you just get a set of all (with the turnip charlatan bonus) and be done with it, or you could take your career seriously enough to spend some serious time to collect his tools. Good kitchen knives are never cheap, but they are a long investing career. Buy wisely and staff to use the 50 years from now – to celebrate the golden anniversary of his restaurant, of course!
the knife is the best quality of stainless steel or high carbon steel and have a strong handle. the handle is preferably a polycarbonate or nylon instead of wood. make sure you get a smooth edge, because the wonders never “need to sharpen” simply do not work.
It also recommended that you pass on the full sets sold by major manufacturers of knives, which usually contain at least one knife I never use. Instead, buy knives individually or in small groups and get the best quality you can afford. Names Brand Some chefs swear by (and this is an unpaid endorsement!) are Wusthof-Trident, Henkle, Sabatier and Friedrick Dick.
the three knives that you will find essential in All kitchens are a 3-to-4-inch paring knife, chef knife 8-inch and 7-to-10-inch cutter.
the kitchen knife is definitely one of the tools higher in the kitchen. not only does the trimming, but also can do a lot of turnover usually reserved for the most common kitchen knife used. for some reason every time I see another chef, to come to a knife that is more than you need.
Knife of a good chef’s will take over of most of its dicing and cutting magic. It is essential that you need to prepare the fresh garlic. There was only the flat of the blade at the top of the clove and the slammed his hand, destroy cloves and split the skin, making removal of the meat, garlic a breeze. an 8-inch blade works best, unless is very small or very large. After 6-inch or 10-inch knife may be in order to take into account the size of your fist.
look for knife a cook who is well balanced with a blade that is wide and fairly heavy in the butt, near the handle. A slight curve at the edge of the sheet gives you a good action while balancing short and make the knife much easier to use.
the cutter is mainly used for carving and cutting meat. It’s also good for chopped spices, because it can only release a handful of chives on a cutting board and large stone knife with the blade curved back and forth over her, both hands on the top.
These three knives are good elements, but are only the beginning. Then, if you want to add a bread knife, a bird parer pick and take samples for peel fruits round, a paring knife second, and a 6-inch sandwich and a knife.
for care their knives, you should wipe with a damp sponge, dry with a kitchen towel, and store in a knife block, always with the blade down. never hand the dishwasher, because the strike against silver knives and others were damaged. when using a knife, make sure that the blade lands on a surface relatively soft, like wood or plastic, instead of a surface, such as metal or ceramic surface. this is due to constant striking a hard surface is opaque the blade quickly.
Knives should be washed by hand and dried immediately after use. Because wood tends to swell, not a good idea to immerse wooden-handled knives in water for an extended period of time. Rubbing mineral oil on the wooden knife handle regularly maintain its luster. Stains in the leaves can be cleaned with a mild scouring powder, or a mildly abrasive pad – never steel wool!
Acidic foods such as lemon juice, vinegar, or mustard, should not remain on the blade after each use, as it will cause discoloration. your knives should always be cleaned as soon as completed any job. Knives should be stored in a drawer or in a knife block once you have cleaned and dried. They should not be stacked, for purposes of security and extreme caution adequate.
Remember that safe food handling! To avoid cross contamination of bacteria, the knives should be cleaned before being used for another product. most especially must be kept for purposes other than meat and vegetables for a meal, and never use the same knife for raw and cooked meat.
