Knives are the most important tool in our kitchens. Most of us use knives everyday. And with every fruit, veggie, nut, or piece of meat we cut they get duller. Dull knives are more likely to slip and cause an injury in the kitchen so it is important that you sharpen your knives on a regular basis.
Did you know the Co-op has a knife sharpening station every Wednesday from 3:00 – 7:00 pm? Chaz, the friendly knife-sharpener, is happy to help you keep your knives in tip-top shape for you. Have you visited Chaz lately? Did you find cutting and chopping much easier afterward? Tell us about it!
Last week I took on the task of sharpening my knives myself. After a few minutes of fumbling with the knife-sharpening tool my husband suggested I visit YouTube for a demonstration video. He is so smart. I found Gordon Ramsay’s Cookalong Live series. These videos are awesome for other kitchen tasks besides knife sharpening too! I followed Gordon’s instructions and in no time had nice, safe, sharp knives.
So, if you don’t have a chance to visit the Co-op today to get your knives sharpened (but I suggest you do), watch & learn:
Other tips on keeping safe knives: DO NOT put your knives in the dishwasher, ALWAYS wash them by hand. Do be careful of your fingers while doing so though
