These are the only three knives you need in your kitchen
Most of the people who cook regularly, have a common denominator: a huge amount of knives: for bread, for peeling tomatoes, for carving, for chopping onion, ham, Japanese Santos, cheese ... and could
Follow the list with at least twenty other varieties. However, -although I recognize that I am one of those who has a knife for everything given to what I do-, the reality is that I practically always use the same ones. If you want to be practical and have only what is necessary, these are the only three knives you need in your kitchen.
We are talking about three types of knife with which you can practically cover all the needs of a domestic or family kitchen. Specifically, the three knives you can equip yourself with are the onion or chef's knife, the all-purpose lace or kitchen knife and a serrated knife for bread.
These are our recommendations.
1. The Cebollero knife or chef's knife
It is my favorite knife. Large and preferably heavy, it is perfect for chopping all kinds of food. With it we can make all the traditional cuts of the onion , -brunoise, julienne, rings, segments ...- and we can chop large foods such as a chicken, a fish or a piece of meat. Therefore, this knife is practical for most kitchen tasks.
It is also an easy to maintain knife. It is enough with a quick cleaning, a drying and a pass through the chaira for the edge to stay aligned and we have it ready to use. Occasionally, we sharpen it with the stone to preserve an effective cut and we will know that we have a knife that is suitable for all tasks.
If you are thinking of purchasing a good chef's knife, these are the most interesting options we have found. The choice of one or the other will depend on your budget and personal tastes. That is why we have made a varied selection, so that you can find your onion or chef's kitchen knife among which we offer you.
The cheapest is the Nego onion knife , which costs $ 26 and comes with a sharpener. For little more, we have two good options, the Japanese-style Geek home or the Deink , both for $ 99.
Average price , the Iron King that is less than $ 30 , the Riviera de Arcos model that does not reach 30 or the French design of the DeBuyer brand that is about $ 90 . Any of these knives is perfect for a home kitchen.
If you are looking for more quality or want a professionally designed knife , this Japanese-style Chinese damascus steel knife is around $ 98 and this other knife by Zwilling for professionals , which goes beyond 300.
2. The multipurpose knife or the lace
It is one of the most versatile knives. Due to its small size it is very manageable and it is useful for tasks as varied as chopping garlic, peeling potatoes, chopping a vegetable, removing the peduncle from tomatoes, gutting a fish or turning vegetables , among many others. It is known as a lace, although we also find it as a peeler, chopper, skinner and other denominations.
Among our recommendations, this peeler or paring knife like this one from the Arcos brand that will cost you around $ 14 , or this one from Quttin that is around $ 12 . Any of these knives will solve most of your kitchen tasks with no problem.
If you are looking for higher quality knives, you will like this more professional Arcos lace that is around $ 20, and this other one from Buyer that you have in the image, which comes with counterweights and is suitable for left and right handed users that you can get for about $ 30 .
If you can afford it and really want to have a professional type lace knife , you could choose the one you have on this paragraph of the Kai brand, which is around $ 100 or this other lace by Sanelli Ambroggio for about $ 70 approximately .
Looking for the best options for you, we have found some sets of knives that include a good chive and a spri , which can raise the quality of your choice and help you with the price as they are cheaper than if purchased individually. For example, this professional set of Zwilling costs less than $ 100 and if you want a quality set of Japanese style, you will like this set of two Kai knives, made of 32-layer damascus steel that costs $ 309 with the cutting edge. sharpened by hand.
3. The bread saw knife
To cut bread, nothing better than a good serrated knife . With these types of knives, we complete the three that we recommend for most tasks in a family kitchen. Bread knives can also be used to slice hard-skinned food where straight edge knives slip, such as aubergines, some tomato varieties, etc.
These are the bread knives that we have found at a good price while maintaining a satisfactory quality for all types of users . The Arcos bread knife costs only $13 and is practical and comfortable to use. Similar in price, the Bra Efficient range is an excellent choice for cutting homemade breads, loaves, and other hard-crust breads.
