Knives – Kitchen accessories

Wandering into a different territory, we thought of writing a small article of kitchen knives. Indian cuisine somehow never focused on good cutlery and kitchen aids. Most people are happy with say 2 pieces of blade (knife) and try to get all their jobs done with them.

There are a variety of knives out there. Each is meant for a specific task. Here are some of the common types:

  • Bread Knife – Primarily used for cutting whole bread loaf
  • Boning Knife – Used to remove bones from chicken, meat and fish
  • Chef’s Knife – Used for cutting during food preparation
  • Carving Knife – as the name suggests, used to carve large cooked meat
  • Fork Knife – used for barbecue and grilling
  • Meat Cleaver Knife – Used to chop meat, cheese into smaller pieces
  • Small Bread Knife – Used at dining table along with steak knife, fork and spoon
  • Steak Knife – Used to eat Steak
  • Paring Knife – Primarily used for trimming fruits

For the photographs you can refer to the following link – > Types of knives

Depending on the use knives are primarily classified into:

a) sharp knives – used for cutting , peeling etc.

b) blunt knives – used for spreading jam, butter and the like.

And to manage all these knives, we suggest you use a knife holder like the one shown below:

  4. Im thinking about picking up a new coffee maker but not too sure as too what brand I should get, Ive been told Black and decker and kitchen aid, any suggestions?

  5. Hi there, just doing some research for my Black and Decker website. Amazing the amount of information on the web. Not quite what i was looking for, but cool site. Take care.

  6. What did the mother ghost tell the baby ghost when he ate too fast? Stop goblin your food.

  7. Its superb as your other content : D, regards for putting up.

  8. I’m curious to find out what blog platform you are using? I’m having some small security problems with my latest blog and I would like to find something more safe. Do you have any solutions?

  9. Throughout the grand scheme of things you actually receive a B+ with regard to hard work. Where you misplaced me was first in all the facts. You know, it is said, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn’t be much more true in this article. Having said that, allow me tell you what did do the job. Your article (parts of it) is pretty convincing which is probably why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, while I can notice the jumps in logic you make, I am not necessarily convinced of just how you seem to unite your details that make the final result. For right now I will, no doubt yield to your issue but trust in the foreseeable future you actually connect the dots much better.
