Tips and tricks for sharpening knives and cleaning knives properly. Anyone who likes to cook a lot certainly has at least one favorite knife that they prefer to work with. Because without a really good and above all sharp knife, at least the preparation of the cooking is not much fun.
Clean knives
To keep your knife as sharp as you love it, you should definitely consider the following tip: Always clean your knife by hand and do not put it in the dishwasher! Cleaning knives in the dishwasher will dull them.
To sharpen a knife
In addition, a knife that is used every day should be sharpened regularly, about once a week. It is best to use sharpening steel for this. The knife should be moved over the steel with light pressure at an angle of approx. 20° from the handle to the tip. Be sure to sand both sides evenly. Also, note how you can sharpen blunt scissors and use other useful kitchen aids.
