Cutting Edge

Did you know that the knife is the most important tool in the kitchen? It's hard to prepare a recipe without a slicing and chopping, just two of the main actions that a well-sharpened knife can take care of. If your repertoire requires deboning, filleting and pairing, that's where your need to decide to whether get yourself a good set of a cutting edge.

Let's talk about the most basic knives your kitchen must have:

A chef or a cook's knife - most suitable for your slicing and chopping needs. This knife is usually between 8-2 inches long that has a wide blade.

Pairing knife - is a small knife about 2-4 inches long that is basically used for smaller cutting actions. An example of this is peeling fruits and vegetables.

Bread knife - if you are very fond of serving bread, this long knife with a serrated blade is very ideal for cutting through the crust and delicate body of your loaf breads.

In choosing a knife, I suggest that you always get one with a one-piece construction from tip of the blade to the end of the blade, for a very durable choose. Choose one that you find comfortable in your hand. To make your knives last, keep them in a knife holder with slots. Do not use your knives for opening cans or bottles, as this can break the tip of your knife's blade, and most of all always cut on a chopping board.

I hope I have given you the best basic tips from choosing to handling your knives.

Planning The Holiday Budget

If the most symbolic item on the menu for Thanksgiving is the turkey, perhaps this can also be great for the joyous season, Christmas!

Planning the holidays on a budget does not need to sacrfice flavor in your food. If you are wondering how to cook very juicy and moist turkey, or your favorite meats that can be trimmed of all fat, producing flavorful and even browned finish, without so much hassle, look no further than the clay baker. We know that when it comes to roasting tender dishes from poultry to fish, and even desserts, Mom said the clay bakers are our perfect companion.

Romertopf and Shclemmertopf are what I believe the two most leading brands of clay bakers. You can even think of converting your bread recipes for clay baking and get your own rise crunchy crusts too... There are many clay baker recipes online that can provide you with different dishes in different flavors.

The next thing is to stay away from non-seasonal items, they are almost always expensive. Don't be too impulsive in your grocery shopping. Farmers' markets are a good choice where you can buy seasonal produce in big quantities. They are cheaper and most importantly, fresher, so you can translate these foods to simple recipes that are more flavorful and healthy.
