Big serrated bread knives do not work as well on vegetables as a chef's knife (except tomatoes, sometimes). Just makes me cringe when I catch him doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1038930 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 08:25:08 +0000 MrsRoo 1038930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: me too! I feel it does the best job with the least mess. But maybe I just have crap knives?</p> <p>I tend to use a bigger knife than the job requires, lol. I use my 8 inch chefs knife for pretty much everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1038813 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 07:38:22 +0000 regberadaisy 1038813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Certain knives are made for certain tasks. However, I will use my santoku for almost anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1037772 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:17:50 +0000 petunia354 1037772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! DH always uses something way too small for the job. I'm also picky about brand....Global all the way for my small hands </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1037751 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:11:20 +0000 PurplePumps 1037751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I use like the same two knives for everything, a 6 and 8 inch chefs knife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1037747 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 19:10:50 +0000 mediagirl 1037747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's for cutting, it has to be sharp. If it's for buttering bread, it must be a dinner or butter knife. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1037630 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:45:09 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1037630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I lost the sheet that tells me which knife is used for what. As it I use just 4 knife types including the bread knife. The redt stay in the block. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1037614 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:41:27 +0000 heffalump 1037614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never use the right knife.... I don't know which I'm supposed to use. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1037609 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:39:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 1037609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: seriously. I wandered in to try to figure out what was taking so long. He's just making little itty bitty slices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1037516 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:25:19 +0000 prettylizy 1037516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!!!

I'm not picky about brand and such but using the right KIND of knife is important! Carving knife for garlic??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-picky-about-knives#post-1037511 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:24:46 +0000 Bookish 1037511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha no...I never know which knife I am 'supposed' to use...so I just grab one!

This morning he sliced strawberries with a steak knife and I just found him mincing garlic with a carving knife. Drives me nuts to use the wrong knife. </p>
