INSTANT Knife Skills

this is the first "you've been doing __ wrong" that ive actually found pretty useful. didnt know about that knife grip

The most important tip of this video is: "take your time". Lots of people getting into knife skills wanting to chop things like crazy. Take your bleeping time... you're not being tortured in a restaurant kitchen, you're at home! Go slow, build your skills, so you can lay a strong foundation of good habits. Your fingers will thank you.

You perfected the tutorial made for gen z Thanks for making this for the people who use a butter knife😭

This is exactly what a short should be. Awesome job Josh.

think that "elbow turned out" part may have been the last thing i needed. otherwise i've been getting it down :)

That’s some insant knife skills

Thank you so much for this. At 42 I'm working on basic cooking skills. This is one of the things I was never taught. You've just made my cooking skills better.

If your knife is dull you can't grip the veggies tight enough for this grip to work, sharpness is the key

Make one on sharpening the blade with that block.

In the first kitchen I worked in, I was 18 and they didn’t teach me any culinary skills at all. Joined my second kitchen at 21 and every new every time I was trained on a new task. the sous chef would not only tell me how to do it, but he would do it with me (everything down to taking out the garbage) and whenever he saw me doing something the beginner way he would simply ask “can I show you an easier way of doing that?” And then once he was done demonstrating he would always follow it up with “and you don’t have to do it that way, we all have our own way of doing things. I simply find that was easier”

I love your knife collection . Great advice

The other big no-no I see is people putting their index finger on the blade. Ann Burrell from Worst Cooks taught me about that one!

Thank you for making genuinely constructive, respectful and overall wholesome content. You are a treasure don't ever forget that

Thank you Uncle Josh

Josh, just wanted to voice my approval for reminding people to slow down. Speed comes naturally with practice and comfort. You probably saved some fingers.

I see a lot of BS cooking advice on YouTube so it's awesome to see some genuinely solid advice. This is a great tutorial that clearly and concisely explains basic knife use.

That "turn your elbow out" was a really eye opener for me. Thanks a lot!!!

One of the most important cooking videos to grace the internet. This is one very easy thing every single chef can learn to improve their game and its a thing that almost know one knows outside of the profession in my experience. Kudos for spreading the love of using thou knife properly.

"now you're p i n c h i n g"

😃 I butter bread using the back of a spoon so I don't tear holes in it
