How many knives?

[DiO'Bolic]

Probably his french knife...then paring...then boning.

Is the french knife also called a chef's knife? If so I've got two. One that comes with the set of 14 knives and one someone left at our house years ago. We have a lot of family/friend parties on holidays and people always leave stuff here. Aggravating. Then every party we put it all together and announce people should take what is theirs as we have no clue. After three parties, it either gets thrown out or becomes ours. Last party a coffee travel mug, a really big molded salad bowl, two cookie trays and a crock pot were left behind.

Lol that is a good way to get kitchen ware. Yes a french knife(industry term) is a chef's knife. Chefs who went to culinary arts school call them french. I bought my tools from the store at the cooking department in college.

We have five crock pots. We only bought one. If someone ever claims one we would give it away, no questions asked.

You're so immature - that's why I like you!

I bought something a while back at Home Hardware that looks like this - you can slice your meat and vegetables right into the pot - it's a bit of a gimmick but works okay.

So while I was away from the Board just now (but didn't bother to log out) I made Rice Krispie squares - not sure what I did wrong but the proportion of marshmallow to Rice Krispies seems to be a bit off - quite marshmallow-y

Looks like a velociraptor gave up a digit for that beauty.......

All these have real different names?

Some we just make up names, some we know the name... Chef’s knife, bread knife, other one that looks like a bread knife, paring knife, grapefruit knife, medium knife, bigger medium knife, large medium knife, saw knife, steak knives, skizzors, etc…

He's up North preparing dinner at the moment - if I called him he'd think I was nuts to interrupt him.

I always thought that marketing bombs us with special tools that just end up taking space and collecting dust.

I mean yeah sure, they do have their purpose in professional level cooking, but in the everyday kitchen ?

Nowadays I only keep two, a Chef's knife, and a paring knife. (plus 6 steak knives)

What do you guys do ?

I've found the following specialty knives useful:

Bread knife (it really does allow for perfect slices without smooshing it or tearing it)
Paring knife (potatoes, especially)
Steak knife
Butcher knife (for dismembering large bulky cuts of meat, not often necessary, though)
