Basic Knife Skills

“Remove the top” Chops half of the vegetable

5:17 that green bell pepper move was about the smoothest thing ive seen this week

Main man gets my respect right away, knowing how to get your board safe is the key first step to effectiveness. Claw technique is on point as well, not that anyone has any reason to respect what I say of course. This is a fine primer and should be shared to novices.

finally somewhere I can really actually see a video about the technique and not about the dimensions of the cutted beets.... Thank you, it was very helpful!

When he said “Don’t use that part.” It sounded like he was talking to the editor. 7:13

There's something about this guy's delivery that makes this all the more charming and kinda funny.

This video was not only very fun watching, but also very informative. Let me now go brag about my new learned knife-cutting skills in the kitchen.

6:27 Sharpest spoon I've seen

This guy: “This is the head!” beats the crap out of it

Watched this while eating with chopsticks. My mother was one of those people who had never been taught or refused to learn how to use the appropriate knife. She'd use a flubbing paring knife to chop things and wonder why people complained about having such large pieces in the food. She also had the nasty habit of talking on the phone while cooking, preparing. One Saturday while home I walked into the kitchen and saw her on the phone, trying to cook and chop vegetables into the pan, pot. You know, the trinity: onion, celery, carrots plus bell pepper. Since I was bored I grabbed a cutting board, chef's knife and got busy. I did this every weekend until I started driving for a living and then when I was home weekends. I always did more than what she used/needed and put the rest in Zip-lock bags. They then went into the freezer on the door. Needless to say she appreciated not having to do her own chopping. She didn't grow up cooking. My dad started teaching her how to cook after they were married. His mother cooked for a living and taught him and started teaching my siblings and I when we were in elementary school. I also picked up some things from the cooks I knew on active duty and liked to eat in mom & pop restaurants, street venders when assigned overseas. We have three woks in my house and I might get this small one I've been looking at that's designed mainly for one meal.

5:17 That was beyond perfect.

I've learned more from this guy, in this video, than from all the international celeb cooks.

20 years old rn and watching this video. Because I care about my friends and wanna feed them always good food❤️

Thanks. I have learned something new from this video, today.

Nobody's gonna talk about that he didn't even cried while cutting onions?

Me: do nothing Youtube at 3 Am: how to hold a knife Me: N O I C E

things to add to this video: step 1: have a sharp knife (I use wet stones and it took me a half a year to get good, I'm working on mastering the technique.) tip1: hold your veggies firmly, you're not its friend, and you're about to butcher it. Put some force on it tip2: keep your eyes on the uncut side of the blade to prevent accidents. I 'did' pick up some techniques in this video, I just wanted to add to it.
