A Crash Course to Knives, from Choosing Blades to Chopping Onions [Infographic]

For complete amateurs in the kitchen, myself included, a cut finger or two is part of the experience when handling a knife. While it’s easier said than done to just be more careful, sometimes accidents happen when using the wrong technique. Thankfully, there’s an quick cheat-sheet in the form of this infographic to help with those knife troubles.

Learn how to pick the correct knives for any cooking situation whether it’s cutting bread, meat, fruit, or bone. The graph also teaches a safe and accurate method to hold veggies down when you’re dicing, as well as proper knife gripe. We wouldn’t want a Matt Cain situation the next time we’re cutting a sandwich in half.

The best part, the guide even teaches you some of the lingo used when chefs are cutting food.
