It's 4am wtf i am doing

"cut into 2 inch segments" *cries in cm*

My brain: Yo you got school tomorrow you need sleep Me at 3am: I know but this is more important

I don't why but the music giving me a Tom and Jerry nostalgia 😂

Remember guys, the most important part of all is... *_Let the knife do the work_*

Once upon a time you'd have to pay for classes to teach you this. Thank you internet :)

Step 1: Romove all your rings and wash your hands properly.

I'm paying 17,000 for culinary school. wtf am I doing. Everything I am being taught is already on KZfaq.

I think step 1 should be "Get a sharp knife" Whenever I get a dull knife, the rocking motion didn't work.

This music kinda sounds like me trying to walk home at 3am after the bar.

I've been work for 25 years between being a butcher and and classic tread chef! This video is amazing! Reminded me of my frist week in culinary school!

5:28 Carrot: "they see me rollin'..."

It's 3 am wtf am I doing

Also, the knife should be sharp. A dull knife is a dangerous tool in the kitchen.

Good video for novices. Keeping fingers outta the way is key! Technique is learned and should be practised every time you pick up a knife. Using the proper knife is also key to doing a great job in prepping your food. Pre chopping all the food before cooking is the best way to organize your cooking process, this is vital to having a perfect meal cooked evenly.

Thank you. I loved and needed this video. I’ve always wondered how I could get really great with slicing…chopping…etc without cutting my fingers. I already make my family nervous as it is but I’ll be practicing this. Now if you’d do more videos like these…maybe knife sharpening 101. Clearly we need a very sharp knife for this to work. Even though you would think people already know this😂.

Me: Hey, can I borrow the knife? Sister: Why? What are you cooking? Me: Scrambled eggs

I don't know anything about knife skills, but I'm an expert in rolling leaves.

You guys should learn a thing or two from this video rather than begging for likes with those 3 am comments

I really enjoyed this. I learned a few things that I can apply. Do not know if it is correct to do so, but I use the side of the board with the outer moat to cut meat to allow any juice to flow into, and the flat side for veggies so I can easily invert the knife and use the back to sweep away the waste or product.

Forgot to mention investing in a sharp knife. These methods get a bit harder if you don’t have a knife that can easily slice through.

When its 2am and need something to take your mind off the depression

I have been cooking for decades and never heard of the 'oblique cut" Thanks for the new info, I WILL be using that. Nice video!

This is an awesome tutorial, thank you! Also I love how you showed us the outtakes at the end 😂💜

Thank you so, so much! I have always wondered how these techniques work. It looks like a beautiful dance watching someone properly cut/chopping veggies.

Been cooking for myself and friends for quite a while but I never really knew how to cut efficiently and my dishes take more time than they should 😅 I'll practice this method from now on, so thank you

“Let the knife do the work” -Gordon Ramsay

Great video. Three additional tips here: 1. Since wrists are at a 90 degree to our body, move the board so the corner that is closest to your knife hand is farther. It will make movement more natural and prevent wrist pain. 2. Use the heel of the knife (part closer to the hand) to cut harder food such as carrots. 3. Use your arm for movement, not your hand. Keep the wrists straight with your arm. It will give you more force, more control and protect your wrist again.

My fingers and I cannot thank you enough for this video. Been clumsy when cutting these past few weeks. This video helps!

I watched this 4 years ago and this week a culinary university visited my school to do a promotion. I decided to volunteer myself to do the cooking demo. The chef complimented my knife skills lol. Too bad I'm not going to that uni

So KZfaq recommended this to me literally a day after slicing off my nail with a potato peeler. Too soon or good timing?

Who knew u had so many options!

Simple,short,to the point. Loved this video. Thank you from India 🇮🇳

This is the best video I have found so far on cutting since I just started learning to cook. You saved my life LOL

I don’t even know what I like more: her voice or the way she uses the knife

After 25 years freelancing in the film business I must say this video has great production values. Nice lighting, camera angles and audio: well done! Plus, I learned something about basic knife skills!

I've watched other basic knife skills videos and this one is my favorite. Thank you!

i’m watching this video after cutting myself at work, I work in the kitchen at a pizza / family restaurant and about a month ago i cut my left index finger while cutting with a knife and had to get 7 stitches. it’s fully healed now and lesson is learned. I want to learn how to use a knife safely and this video helps a lot

Am I the only one who learned most of this from cooking mama? Hahaha

Don't waste paper towels. Just use a damp cloth, the ones you have at home for like cleaning, table cloths, or just get a cheap cloth for it.

This is a great video - well done! I highly recommend using a bowl to collect the waste from the vegetables. This would keep your work area clean while you are working and also mean less work cleaning up your work area.

Something that they forgot to mention in this video that is enormously important is to check the sharpness of your knife. If your knife is not properly sharpened, you will destroy your products when trying to slice them.

This was fabulous. I consider myself a decent cook. I was a personal chef for over a year, but sometimes I love watching “cooking 101” type videos for new tricks as well as things I didn’t know. This video gave me both. Plus her voice was consistent and easy to listen to for me. Thanks for this! So excited to use the new knife set I got for my birthday now!

Am i the only one that doesn’t know or seen a flatliners ad??

You’re getting thumbs up for the useful info, music and pronouncing often the right way!

I love it

Another awesome Recipe Tasty! Tried it and the knife tastes delicious =))

The most important thing is the sharpness of the knife

Thank you, her voice is so soothing :)

New to this channel. New to the world of cooking. Right now learning to cook seems like an impossible task. I wish I had learned at a younger age. Anyhow, excellent info. Thank you.

you can use some salt when you mince the garlic to avoid it from sticking

When roll-cutting, the point of the knife never comes off the board. If it does, that creates a hazard, as you could well cut into your claw grip. Keep that tip on the board. And keep that blade below your first knuckle. :)

I watch cooking videos when I have anxiety. This one was the. best. help. ever. Thank you

It's 6 am and suddenly i want to become a chef

I've seen this flatliners trailer so many times in about to go crazy

I love the sound of her voice! And her giggle at the end!!! 😍

This is a great, clear video. Thanks for sharting.

This was SO helpful. I'm one of those people who didn't have a secure cutting board and therefore cut my finger recently (ouch!). I'm trying not to be so nervous while cutting. I think these tips will help!

Just started learning how to cook a short time ago. This video is really informative, and I feel confident I will be able to work a knife much better, and safer than I otherwise would have! Also, that background music is fantastic.

Can you make a video on choosing correct knife for cooking?

I watched this , just because i am going for a part time job tomorrow at one of the restaurants. This is cool and I enjoyed this video.

Been cooking for years but always more to learn, thanks. 😊 No need to get fancy

“alright let’s try tip one” *trys tip one, cuts hand off*

I wanna recomend this to Kim Namjoon

I'm left handed and often forget that most everyone is right handed, but focusing on her cutting right handed stressed me out

Thank you for creating these tutorials. I did learn some of these lessons in Home Ec but had to refresh my memory.

This really helped me in my food tech class. I'm only 12, in the 7th grade but my teacher is EXTREMELY strict about this. Thanks!

Wow this sure will surprise my mom when I help her cook dinner tomorrow! :D

My first time watching anything from this from this channel, but I loved it! She was so cute and friendly and informative :)

basic knife skills is what I advise beginners to master first. It just makes prepping and cooking much more convenient. As a Chinese Cantonese man, we have the Cleaver which I would recommended to everyone. It has a huge flat head and gives you ability to scoop everything up and transfer into the wok. Very handy tool.

So tasty is pretty much Gordon Ramsey's Masterclass for free

That freaking Flatliners trailer again?! Sorry KZfaq it looks like shit...

All the armys thinking about Namjoon 😂😁

So it wasn’t just me randomly coming to the conclusion at 3 am, that I need to learn this

More 101s please! I appreciate the thoroughness and how easy it is to follow along w the visuals.

NO KZfaq I WILL NOT SEE FLATLINERS

the most beautiful and elegant voice over ive ever heard

I learnt a lot there thank you for explaining so nicely, love the voice too x

Meanwhile Jin: *sharing this with namjoon*

Even if you watch this without sound you can still hear the chippity chops

Thought this video was super fun! Straight and to the point, great job.

This is awesome. It covered basically everything i was looking to study into. Thank you!

I expected the entire comment section to be about the thumbnail looking like she was cutting off them fingers. Huh.

So many comments about Flatliners😂😂😂😒

just bought a Japanese knife set and have been cooking a lot lately learning to cut and sharpen

Thank you alexis, this was amazing. It helped more than you think. I, now, always use a small dice cut for my onions when I use them for a Pakistani omelette

I am very high with these tips i have cooked a fine meal thank you very much!

Why do I only get ads for that movie Flatliners?

oh how i wish i had listened back in days back in high school cooking classes i never payed attention and all these years later im so interested in cooking and all this......good thing for youtube videos!

Thank you!! I watched another video and the chef made the vertical incision on the halved onion before making the horizontal cuts... Your way seems a lot safer and easier...🙏🏼

This is an excellent primer on knife skills, we will definitely be adding some of these tips with our cooking class students!!!!

One finger at the front, two behind it, thumb at behind of the veggies/meat/fruits/anything. Use your thumb as an anchor and slide your three fingers towards your thumb as you cut. Always keep the knife below the knuckle level

Here's a pro tip from a vegetable specialist: The horizontal incisions you make in the onion before dicing it are extremely redundant and just make your dice look uneven. The onion already has beautiful layers, and when you cook the onion, because of the cuts are perpendicular to the direction in which the vasculature runs, fiber breaks down and turns the mince even smaller with no extra work necessary. When I want a supremely fine dice for a curry, where the onion has to be almost a paste, I can save time by using a sharp paring knife to make end-to-end longitudinal radial slits from the top of the onion to the bottom, keeping them together at the root. Then, when I cut equally thin lateral slices, the onion turns into an extremely fine mince within seconds. I don't even have to go back over the onions with the blade at all.

how to be levi 101

I work in a restaurant and we actually use cutting gloves I’d highly recommend them yes they’re weird at first but you get use to it.

yo someone should send this to rapmon

The paper towel technique was very helpful ! Thanks for this video!

Thank you very much for making such an amazing technique. From, Assam, India
