The kitchen knife is one of the most used kitchen utensils that you will be using in your kitchen. If you are not use to handling a sharp knife this might seem a little daunting to you at first, but once you get the hang of it, using a sharp knife will become second nature.
In the video I am cutting up a tomato and just like anything you plan to use the knife for, safety should be your top priority. First slice the vegetable you intend to chop in half placing the cut side down on the counter. Place your thumb on the back side of the vegetable( this stabilizes the vegetable while you cut) and the rest of your fingers on the top of the vegetable tucking your fingers back towards your hand. This keeps your fingers away from the knife and helps to keep you from accidentally cutting yourself.
Happy Chopping!
