Inhouse Knife Training
This course provides practical advice to anybody involved in managing the risks of using hand knives whilst working in the kitchen. Mastering basic knife skills is one of the most essential parts of cooking, along with keeping your knives sharp. A sharp knife not only allows you to work faster, but safer. When your knife is blunt the amount of pressure needed to cut through food is much greater, one slip can result in a nasty injury.
