Knives

I can’t bang on enough about how important it is to have a good knife that you keep sharp. Get yourself a knife sharpener and make sure you use it: knives scare people and often people think it’s safer for the knife to be blunt. It’s not! The more blunt the knife is, the more pressure you will put on it when chopping and that’s when you will cut yourself really badly. Don’t put knives in the dishwasher; it ruins the handle and makes them blunt quicker.
