How to use a knife safely
Thursday, August 30th, 2007
I’ve always been afraid of knives when i was young. My mom is a good cook and she taught a few of these tips on how to use a knife.
1) Dont cut with the edge toward you or your fingers. The blade can easily cut you should you slip. And do take note where it is pointing at. Make sure it’s not headed in your direction.
2) Never leave sharp knives loose in the drawer. Apart from ruining their sharp edges, anyone can just cut and hurt themselves easily when they reach into the drawer.
3) And never ever leave the knife with it’s sharp edge pointing upwards when not using. Someone may just accidentally lay their hand on it and cut themselves badly.
