Knives are known to be the most important among the kitchen tools. Depending on the type, a knife can serve its own dosage of purpose during food preparation. If you’re amazed on just how you would classify, here’s a guide to the types of knives you can find in your very own kitchen.

Common types of knives include bread knives, boning knives, butcher knives, cleavers, paring knives, slicing knives, and utility knives. The chef knife also belongs to this group. Bread knife is commonly used for slicing different kinds of breads. The dominating characteristic of this knife is its serrated blade making it possible to cut through crispy crusts of loaves and other breads.

Another common kitchen knife is the boning knife. Depending on the built, there are flexible, semi-flexible and stiff options available. These options allow for the user to separate the actual meat from its bones. Another great knife among the kitchen tools is the butcher knife. Its slight curve makes it possible to cut through meat in varying thickness.

Cleavers have long and wide blades and can be considered as among the largest chef knife in a kitchen knife set. Contrary to the size, cleavers have thin and lightweight blades for simple tasks like chopping vegetables, crushing garlic heads, and slicing meat.

One of the most versatile knives is the paring knives. These can be used to peel vegetables, slice fruits, and even devein shrimps. Knives of this type can be further classified as spear point, bird’s beak, and sheep’s foot, apparently because of the shape the blades resemble.

Slicing knives on the other hand have long but straight blades. They are ideal for cutting and slicing through cooked meat such as hams, turkeys, and steak cuts.

Chef knife is typical in every commercial kitchen. But they can also be found in household kitchens too. This knife can perform most of the cutting tasks done in food preparation. It is also available in different sizes, but the most used is in the range of 8 to 12 inches.

The wide variety of cutting, slicing, and chopping tasks performed by a chef knife makes it a valuable inclusion in every kitchen tool set. The specific purposes for which they are made will essentially make food preparation easier. It is not for anyone to wonder at all why it is also included in most kitchen knife set that we can buy in stores.

So the next time that you want to bring out the chef in you, make sure that you have a reliable kitchen knife set in your kitchen! Not only will the knife set make food preparation faster and easier, it will also save you more time which you can then allot for table setting, meal garnishing, and serving.
