Overview

Whether you cook every day or just occasionally, great knife skills are a time (and finger) saver in the kitchen. You will learn the basics, starting with choosing the right tools, setting up your prep station, and properly holding your knife.

In this class, practice 10 basic cuts, including how to chop, dice, slice, mince, and roll cut. Know when to choose the right cut of garlic. You’ll cut an onion into perfectly even squares in under 60 seconds. With your newly honed techniques, you will become more efficient and consistent. You will reduce waste and keep yourself safe!
