Ruitai Kitchen Knives: Your Premier Source for Custom Kitchen Knives Set from China
As important as choosing the right cutting board (cutting board tips), the right kitchen knives are equally important. How many knives do you really need? which knives? And how can you be sure they will hold up as well after all the wear and tear?
We're going to take you through a selection of three of the most important kitchen knives: the chef's knife, paring knife, and bread knife. With careful selection and regular sharpening care, these knives can help you with almost any kitchen task.
Which is your favorite kitchen knife? What is the quality of your knife that you value? Did we miss the knife that you feel is the most critical?
Our top three knife picks:
chef knife
From chopping fresh herbs to deboning chicken, you'll need a chef's knife for most kitchen tasks you'll tackle. An 8-10 inch thick knife is ideal, and its length should be versatile enough to cut everything from watermelon to onions as long as you have this knife in hand.
The knife should be a full piece, that is, from the blade to the handle, it is an iron piece with uniform hardness.
Half-piece knives are cheaper because the blade and handle are two separate parts, but there is a chance that they will break apart during use.
If there are no instructions, you can ask what is the best angle to use with this knife. Chef's knives come in two designs: Western-style ones are sharpened to 20-22 degrees, while Asian designs are sharpened to a thinner 12-15 degrees.
The thinner the blade, the sharper the knife.
When it comes to knife hardness, the material of the blade is another important consideration. A high-carbon stainless steel blade is a better choice, as the higher the steel alloy, the harder the knife.
Finally, the knife should hold and handle well. Some manufacturers design handles with ergonomic grips or grooves, while others have a smooth, streamlined design. If you want to find the knife that is most suitable for you, it is best to hold the knife yourself and feel it.
skin-peeler
Use this knife for more delicate tasks, such as peeling tough-skinned fruits and vegetables, scoring meat, or making small cuts. Therefore, you should look for a short, lightweight knife that is 3-4 inches in length. Many operations that require the use of a paring knife do not necessarily require a cutting board. For example, if you want to cut strawberry heads, you can do it directly with your hands.
So, when choosing a paring knife, focus on its lightness, not its sharpness and hardness.
Serrated Bread Knife
Although it's called a serrated bread knife, its serrations are also great for slicing tomatoes, slippery watermelon, or other crumbly textures. The ideal length for this type of knife is 10-12 inches so that it doesn't get stuck in the middle when cutting loaves of bread.
Remember, knives are sharp objects and should be handled with care in the kitchen. Pick the right one and it can make your job easier, while dull blades or the wrong choice of knives can cause accidents. Always keep your knives sharp.
When it comes to cleaning, high-quality knives should be hand washed and dried, not put in the dishwasher.
