A basic kitchen should have at least a chef’s knife, a paring knife, and a bread knife. These three tools cover most everyday slicing, peeling, and chopping tasks.
Use a knife sharpener regularly or have your knives professionally sharpened. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like glass or stone, and always hand wash to preserve the blade edge.
Kitchen scissors are incredibly versatile. They’re great for opening packaging, snipping herbs, trimming meat or poultry, and even slicing pizza.
Use a knife block, wall-mounted magnetic strip, or an in-drawer knife organiser to keep blades protected and safely stored when not in use.
