Knife Skills 101
Saturday, July 23rd, Noon-2pm
A great class for a new or a seasoned cook! Learn proper cutting technique that will save you time in the kitchen. We’ll also save you some tears and cuts while teaching you how to slice, dice, chiffonade and julienne. Guest Eric Rose of AAA Sharper Edge will talk about taking care of your knives and keeping them sharp.
Slicing up a zucchini is among the easiest to cut through, with its heart exterior and long form. Probably the best object to practice knifing skills on.
*hard exterior. I think that's a typo kershaw. But I agree with you, it's an easy object to practice on if you want to hone your knifing skills on similar objects. Cutting meat though, is another thing.
