Kitchen Knife Skills Guide

Learn to Use Your Chef's Knife Like a Pro!

Let's help you get to know your knife better, and then you’ll be on your way to chopping like a pro.

We hate to break it to you, but every time you cook, you’ll be using a knife. So it’s best that you learn how to use one safely and efficiently! But don’t worry, the more practice you get, the more comfortable you’ll feel with using your knife, and the better you’ll be at cooking.

Welcome to your new skill set. In this guide, you’re going to learn the best ways to choose knives, take care of them, and cut almost anything (without cutting yourself). These aren’t necessarily the knife skills that aspiring chefs learn at cooking school; they are the skills that we, as home cooks, consider the easiest and quickest routes to the food we want to cook. The videos are here for both inspiration and education: watch all the way through before embarking on an entirely new skill.
