Hands down, the most important tool in any kitchen. In fact, anyone who enjoys cooking will enjoy it so much more with a good chef’s knife. Not only does it make meal prepping more fun, it is also faster, safer and easy to use.

They offer more control as you chop your food, thereby minimising accidents and helping you feel more confident in the kitchen. They are also way more efficient than regular cooking knives, as they are much sharper and your prep time will be significantly reduced as a result. Lastly, they provide a clean cut of your food, meaning you won’t lose any essential vitamins or minerals after chopping.

Yes, it is an investment, but they don’t all have to cost a bomb. Do your research, and choose the knife that works best for you.  The good news is you just need the one. As long as it’s well looked after and sharpened when needed, you will never need to replace it.
