Most of us have never taken a knife skills course.
Most likely, we learned from watching food prepared at home or on TV, or simply by freestyling.
After all, we’re intelligent; we can figure it out. Right?
Not exactly.
Unless you can do the following to your satisfaction, you’ll benefit by investing a few minutes on the Wüsthof website.
You’ll become a better cook just by seeing:
How to cut consistent slices and dices. Different thicknesses don’t cook evenly, and the finished product doesn’t look as good.
How to chop garlic, herbs and onions into very small, consistent pieces.
How to slice different types of vegetables, including the formidable winter squash group.
How to work faster and safer. Practice makes perfect—and speedy.
