There are various types of knives used in a hotel. These include:
Bread knife: A knife with a serrated blade for cutting bread
Boning knife: A knife used for removing the bones of poultry, meat, and fish Carving knife: A knife for carving large cooked meats such as poultry, roasts, hams Chef’s knife: Also known as a French knife, a cutting tool used in preparing food Electric knife: An electrical device consisting of two serrated blades that are clipped together, providing a sawing action when powered on
Kitchen knife: Any knife, including the chef’s knife, that is intended to be used in food preparation
Table knife: A piece of cutlery, either a butter knife, steak knife, or both, that is part of a table setting, accompanying the fork and spoon
Use
Many different sizes and shapes of knives are required for various purposes. One must understand which knife to use for each job and make sure to use it for the job it was intended. One should never use the thin-bladed knife that is designed for carving cooked meats to bone a roast. It is quicker and more efficient to use the boning knife that has a stiff, narrow, short blade to cut close around bones. The knives with the long, wide blades are used to cut steaks and roasts before they are cooked.
Care of Knives
Never throw knives into a drawer with other cutlery or tools. It is a good idea to have a knife rack for each watch fastened to some convenient place in the galley. Do not use knives to open cans, cut wire bands, or open cases of foodstuffs.
