5 Knives Every Kitchen Needs

a. Chef's Knife: This traditional knife, also called a French knife, is designed for chopping and slicing. The curved blade rocks back and forth as you cut, allowing you to work quickly.

b. Bread Knife: Most bread knives have a serrated cutting edge, which helps to cut through crisp crusts and gently saw through the tender bread inside. Use this knife for slicing tomatoes too.

c. Slicer/Carver: Slice bone-in meats and poultry with a carving knife and boneless meats with a long-bladed, round-tipped slicer. Some knife companies make one knife for both uses.

d. Boning Knife: The blade of this knife is usually narrow and curves to a point, making it flexible for cutting around bones. Use this knife to separate meat, poultry, and fish from the bone.

e. Paring Knife: Use this handy, all-purpose knife for trimming meats, light chopping and slicing, and peeling fruits and vegetables.
