Why can't I slice up veg's like the chefs on TV? Do they have magic knives? or just no fear of losing fingers?



These mushrooms look awful! Might as well use the anglegrinder!

You are using the wrong tool Dr Anglegrinder...........

OK, so what do you recommend, 4.5" or 9" grinder, or maybe a Dremel for small vegs?

A good type of knife for chopping is a ceramic knife, they are japanese but quite expensive, they are so sharp they will slice through most stuff with ease and make it look like a real profesional job.
But mind your fingers ! it will slice through them with ease also !

Do they have magic knives?

No just sharp ones

Sadly Tony to acheive real kitchen prowess you must first practice a lot, then practice some more before finaly cooking very freequently

But bear in mind that when we men cook for our loved ones, they are invariably so significantly amazed at our efforts (i.e. we cooked) that they will overlook the fact that the carrots were not peeled befor cooking, or that the veg are sliced either the wrong knife or even a tennis racket.

My last cooking effort made chernobyl look like a fun day at the seaside, we still have not fully recovered the use of the grille

a. reminds me of the clumsy meat slicer operator who got a little behind in his work..
b. reminds me of the butcher assistant who kept interfering with the meat slicer, he got the sack, she got off with a warning.
c. go get a set of sabatier or global kitchen knives..

[ssray]

for fine chopping i like the cleaver type knife i got from the chinese super mkt quite cheap at only £5 ish.

[stormforce]

why don't you get a v-slicer like they advertise on t.v then you can slice as thin as you want.Mandy got one as it was costing a fortune in plasters when she was slicing and dicing

[mark g8awo]

Speaking of knives you want to go to my nearest greek takeaway...It gets very amusing when he is slicing the meat of the spindle then you discover that he suffers turrets syndrome and hurls a load of abuse with the flailing knife as we all step back in case he lets it fly......



You got nothing to worry about your kitchen prowesse Tony keep slicing your veggies as thick as you like..
