I remember when I was growing up because there was not that much cooking going on there really wasn’t that many knives available.<br> I remember one for peeling the vegetables with, one for chopping up the cheese and I don’t really remember any beyond that. There was also this weird looking electrical one that was very 80’s and was for carving the roast dinner meat at the table.<br> Everyone had the electric carving knife and it was for the man to show off his knife skills to the guests while everyone was sat around the dinner table on a Sunday afternoon.<br> I never used the electric one but always loved the other two. There was no peeler around and I was the worst potato peeler with a knife that you had ever seen. It was a case of doing a giant potato and peeling it ready for chips and losing ½ the potato as I did it. I would get shouted at for that and clearly I was never allowed near the carrots! It actually feels weird saying that and that there was a life before the trusted peeler!<br> With the cheese knife I absolutely loved that. It was perfect for chopping cheese or bread with and even better for chopping up bacon.<br> <br> <br> <a class="swp_CTT style5" href="https://twitter.com/share?text=%23CookingTips+%23Podcast+%E2%80%93+The+Ultimate+Guide+To+%23Cooking+With+%23Knives+via+recipe_this&url=https://recipethis.com/ct-fm-015-the-ultimate-guide-to-cooking-with-knives/&via=recipe_this" target="_blank">#CookingTips #Podcast – The Ultimate Guide To #Cooking With #Knives via recipe_thisClick To Tweet</a><br> But when I look back there was never any thought to knife safety and I don’t recall anyone (other than a chef) ever owning a knife sharpener. Eventually the knife died and it would go in the bin and another one would be bought.<br> But now we are in the modern world and what was in the kitchen in the 1980s is so different as to what you have now. We now have knife sharpeners, different coloured chopping boards, huge knife ranges, good quality knife holders and so much more. It makes cooking so much easier and nowadays there is no excuse for chopping your fingers with the knife.
