The bread knife is an indispensable part of any kitchen, yet it rarely gets the recognition it deserves. The bread knife, also known as a serrated knife or bread-cutting knife, has several useful features that make it an essential tool for every cook, whether amateur or professional.
Flexible bread knife cut thin pieces evenly
The serrated edge of a bread knife sets it apart from its smooth-bladed cousins. These serrations aren't just for looks, but also the key to the bread knife's superior performance. Bread that is too fragile to be crushed or torn apart can be cut cleanly and easily with the serrated edge. Because of this, it is the perfect tool for cutting uniform slices from your favorite artisan bread.
Bread knives are great for slicing through crusty baguettes and light brioche, but they can be used for so much more. Tomatoes, oranges, and even delicate desserts are no match for the serrated edge. The knife is versatile because of its ability to hold on to and cut through resistant exteriors without damaging the interior.
How to Pick a Bread Knife
You should think about the length of the blade and the style of the grip when purchasing a bread knife. When slicing larger loaves, a longer blade is preferable, while a shorter one gives you better control. Long-term use is not only possible but also enjoyable, thanks to ergonomically built handles.
Repairs Are Crucial
Maintaining your knife serrated regularly is crucial to its continued effectiveness. The serrated edge is difficult to sharpen. Therefore, it's best to have it done by a specialist. Use of a knife block or magnetic strip for storage is recommended.
