Hi Maria,
Yes I love infographics – this is a good one to Pin on Pinterest to keep handy, or print out and have in your kitchen as a quick reference.
Thanks for the nifty infographic. I just pinned it! Love your site!!!
Oh this is brilliant! I always wondered which knife was for each task. Now I know which knife to pick when I reach for one in the kitchen. It’s a nice clear chart for me to refer to and I think I might tag my carving knife because I want to get those nice slices every time I cook roast.
My goodness! I was researching for information on a Santoku Knife and I come upon this beautiful and jam-packed with information site. No need to go anywhere else for anything knife related! Thank you, I too pinned your terrific infographic.
Thank you!
Very interesting to know which knife to use on each job of cutting in the kitchen. I have some of these great knives. They make cooking so much easier. They are great. I love them.
Thank you Linda, yes, using a great knife makes the prep work enjoyable.
What a handy infograph! I spend a lot of time in the kitchen and this would actually be a pretty awesome ‘useful kitchen decoration’ to print out and frame. I’ll be pinning this one..
