Which Should You Use?

Parents, is cooking in the kitchen with your kids on your to-do list this summer? This is a continuation of our last month newsletter.

One of the most frequently used tools is knife. My teenage son asked me a very interesting question the other day which raised my concern. So, I thought that it would be a good time to bring this up.

Before going into more details, I wish you all a very Happy 4th of July.

Tip/Idea

"Which Knife Should I Use?"

But from my perspective, learning to cook will help him to develop independence. One day, he will leave home and go to college. I can’t be there every day cooking for him. So, I would ask him to get into the kitchen at least to cook his favorite dishes. He is mature enough that I can leave him alone by doing most of the tasks in the kitchen.

The other day, I asked him to do so and he came into the office and asked me, “Which knife should I use, mom?” I have been handing him the knife before he is in the position of picking up his own knife. As a result, when he is on his own, he is lost.

So, if you are a beginner in the kitchen or first timer of taking your kids into the kitchen cooking with you, you came to the right place.

There are 3 main factors we need to consider which knife we should pick:

1. How big is your hand? A bigger hand will be better to have a bigger knife, even you are a beginner.

2. What’s the texture of the food that you are going to cut? If it’s something like watermelon, cabbage, spaghetti squash before cooking, a bigger knife will work better.

3. If it’s something like peeling an apple or cutting some cooked sausages, a pairing knife will work.
