Keeping your kitchen knives sharp and well maintained significantly improves the overall quality of the food you prepare. As a result, the ingredients you slice will glisten and shine, the cut edges will cook evenly and crisp, and the taste and texture of your ingredients will burst with flavor and a satisfying crunch. All around, keeping your knives sharp and well maintained really does make a big difference in your food craft.
As you become more comfortable sharpening your knives, you will develop your own unique style of sharpening, which can be honed and tailored to meet your style of cooking. Yes, your style of sharpening and knife maintenance can be an extension of your cooking. Do you slice fish for sushi? Or, maybe you primarily cut fresh fruit and vegetables for your meals? Different ingredients react differently to how you sharpen your edge.
