Even though I’ve been in the culinary industry for 15 years I still struggle to keep my kitchen knives sharp. I finally stopped lying to myself about how I was going to learn how to sharpen knives and I now take them to a professional knife sharpener. But it’s one of those tasks that you secretly keep putting off and it’s easy to put off until you realize you’re working WAY too hard when you’re just trying to chop an onion. That’s why Ina Garten’s latest Instagram post caught my attention (and admiration).
In the video Ina posted on Instagram she explains that she stores her knives upside down in her knife block. "If you put them in the knife the right way the knife scrapes against the wood and I don't think that's good for the knife" she explains. Her solution is simple: she puts the knives in the slots with the sharp side facing up.
