Proper Knife Handling Techniques

Proper knife handling involves holding the knife with a secure grip, typically gripping the handle comfortably with your dominant hand, and placing your other hand on the food, keeping fingertips curled inward to protect them. Use a smooth, controlled motion for cutting, keeping the blade close to the cutting surface. Always cut away from your body and avoid rushing. When not in use, set the knife down carefully on a stable surface or store it securely. Proper handling reduces the risk of slips and injuries, ensuring safe and efficient cutting.
