FAQ
What are the common materials for kitchen knives?
The most common materials are stainless steel, high-carbon steel, ceramic, and composite materials. Stainless steel offers strong corrosion resistance, high-carbon steel retains sharpness longer, ceramic knives are lightweight and sharp but fragile, while composites balance durability and lightness.
Do new knives need sharpening before use?
Most knives are sharpened before leaving the factory and can be used directly. However, for a sharper cutting effect, you may fine-tune the edge with a whetstone or sharpener.
How often should kitchen knives be sharpened?
The frequency depends on usage. For general household use, sharpening every 1–2 months is recommended. If used frequently, sharpening every two weeks may be necessary.
Is it better to choose wooden or plastic cutting boards?
Wooden cutting boards are gentle on knives and durable but require careful cleaning and drying. Plastic cutting boards are lightweight, easy to clean, and dishwasher safe. It’s best to use different boards for different foods to avoid cross-contamination.
How should knives be cleaned after use?
Hand wash with warm water and mild detergent. Avoid soaking for long periods or putting them in the dishwasher. After cleaning, dry immediately and store properly.
What is the purpose of knife sheaths?
Knife sheaths protect the blade from damage and prevent accidental cuts. Some sheaths also provide anti-slip and moisture-resistant features, making them suitable for long-term storage.
Can kitchen knives be placed in the dishwasher?
It is not recommended, as high heat and detergents may damage the blade or handle. Hand washing helps extend the knife’s lifespan.
How to remove odors from cutting boards?
Rub with lemon juice or vinegar and rinse with hot water. For wooden boards, applying a thin layer of cooking oil regularly helps reduce odor and water absorption.
How to prevent knives from rusting?
Dry knives immediately after washing and avoid prolonged contact with water or acidic substances. If not used for a long time, apply a thin layer of cooking oil on the blade for protection.
How many knives are enough for home use?
A basic set usually includes a chef’s knife, a paring knife, a boning knife, and a bread knife, which can meet most cooking needs. Depending on personal habits, you may also add kitchen scissors or specialty knives.
