SLICE AND DICE LIKE A PRO The chef’s knives
THE CHEF’S BEST FRIEND Take a look at a chef’s knife hand and you will find a patch of calloused skin on the base of the index finger. That’s due to the “chef’s grip” – professional cooks hold a knife in such a way that the index finger rubs against the upper edge of the blade. This is the secret behind our knives from PS. Created in collaboration with professional chefs, the knives have a unique blade that helps index fingers during long working hours.
LIKE THE PROS THE RIGHT WEIGHT Mass is good. The weight of the knife stabilizes the hand and works in your favor when chopping and cutting. THE RIGHT KNIFE If the cutting feels awkward, try a different knife. PS bread knife, for example, can work on tricky tomatoes. THE RIGHT ATTITUDE A pro wouldn’t even consider working with a dull knife. THE RIGHT BALANCE The weight should be balanced across the handle and the blade.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR KNIVES AND THEY’LL TAKE CARE OF YOU CHOP – SHARPEN – CHOP – SHARPEN – A professional chef uses the honing steel over and over again during a day’s work. For you, it might be enough to use the steel every time you prepare a meal. HAND WASH PS knives are dishwasher proof, but first-rate knives should always be washed by hand. Machine washing will dull the blade and the look of the knife.
YOUR KNIFE FROM PS A UNIQUE GRIP A professional chef grips the upper end of the handle so that the thumb and index finger clench the blade. This knife’s unique design – the handle stretches out over the blade – is perfect for the “chef ’s grip”. PERFECT BALANCE TOUGH MATERIALS The handle is made from grip-friendly glass fiber. It is resistant to tough handling and high temperatures. It has a slight waistline for better grip.
SHARP ANGLE Your knife from PS can be made – and stays – extremely sharp. Use an instrument with a heavier blade when cutting large amounts of cartilage or bone. • Preferably hand wash with hot water and washing-up liquid. ATTRACTIVE CANVAS CASE The case protects the knife’s edge as well as objects in its vicinity. Do what pros do: Bring your knife when travelling or visiting foodie friends.
