Perfect Paring

Setting up a first time kitchen can be quite a task. You don’t know exactly what you need and when you do look, there are a billion choices. Please remember when you are making your purchases, don’t skimp on the quality. If you spend a little bit more now, you will save a lot of money down the road.

A paring knife blade is only about 3-4 inches long. Once again you will want to find one that is “full tang” which means that the metal goes all the way to the handle of the knife for stability.

You can use this for just about anything in the kitchen. I use mine for cutting up vegetables to boning meat.

Do not wash your knives in the dishwasher, this will dull your blade quicker and possibly ruin your handles.

Always wash with a warm soapy cloth then rinse well.

You will want to invest in a sharpener and sharpen your knives about every other use.

Sharp knives are usually not the cause of cuts; dull ones are because the knife slips.
