Your knife skills are a very important aspect of cooking in your kitchen. Choosing the correct bread knife for whatever your are cutting, and then knowing the best and safest way to handle that bread knife will greatly improve your performance and safety when you are cooking in your kitchen. You may not realize this, but a bread knife is not only for cutting bread. You can use a bread knife for cutting anything with a harder outside than it’s inside.

4 Simple Steps For Using A Bread Knife

1.  First, you mut select the right knife. We recommend a Victorinox Bread Knife. The length of your bread knife is also important. It is meant to accommodate the size of the loaf you want to cut.

2.  Get a firm and comfortable grip on your knife. Having the proper grip on a knife makes all the difference because you will be able to control the cut.

3.  Next you are going to want to pierce the surface of the loaf. Assuming that you’re actually cutting bread with your knife, you must first cut through the crust.

4.  Maintain good form while you are cutting. Once you have pierced the surface of the loaf, you will need to continue with sawing strokes, back and forth. Make sure you are using as much of the knife blade as possible while you are stroking.
