The Claw👋🏻⁣
⁣
Named after the shape that your hand should be making, the Claw is the fundamental and most basic technique every person should learn and get confident in when it comes to cooking💯⁣
⁣
I’ve always said that great knife skills are one of the biggest foundations for being a good cook👨‍🍳⁣
⁣
Being confident and efficient with a knife allows you to cut more precisely, evenly and with ease rather than force! All of which helps you be safer and avoid any kitchen accidents🏥🩹🤕⁣
⁣
Plus the better you are with a knife the faster you can prep food and then cooking/making food becomes shorter and less of a hassle! All of which makes for a more enjoyable experience and that's something I really want everyone to have✌🏼⁣
⁣
The Run Down:⁣
🔺With the hand that is not holding the knife, curl your fingers and thumb back like you are making a bear or animal claw⁣
🔺Keep this shape and rest the tips of your fingers on top of whatever you will cut⁣
🔺Your fingertips should be perpendicular to the surface of the food, with your fingernails and thumb act like a grip on the food and keeps it stable⁣
🔺The knuckles of your index or middle finger act as the guard and guide for your knife blade ⁣
🔺Then simply cut with the other hand, lifting the blade and slicing or chopping the food while using the knuckle of the claw as the guide⁣
⁣
Key Tips:⁣
🔺The food or ingredient never moves, it is the claw hand that guides how much you are cutting⁣
🔺Secure your cutting board with a wet towel, paper towel or even plastic grip mat (available at any department store), this gives you a sturdy surface to cut on⁣
🔺Wipe your blade after cutting ingredients that may be sticky, starchy or wet. A clean blade and clean board means less things to restrict you from cutting smoothly⁣
