How to Choose the Proper Knife for Every Type of Food [INFOGRAPHIC]

When I’m preparing a meal in the kitchen, I grab the nearest utensil in my proximity. Now, whether I’m attempting to slice a slab of brisket with a bread knife when I should really be using a chef’s blade, is another issue.

For those of us who momentarily consider the difference between a steak knife and a smaller pairing knife, then recklessly reach over for the vegetable knife to cut our steak — this insightful infographic was made for us. Although, there’s no guarantee it’ll convert us to proper kitchen chefs overnight.
