Friends who are well-versed in culinary arts know that whether food can be made delicious and visually appealing, the knife is really important! A handy knife can make the food even better, making cutting, slicing, chopping, and dicing easier and increasing cooking efficiency. A cost-effective kitchen knife is definitely a tool to enhance the quality of life. Today, I highly recommend a cost-effective traditional kitchen meat cleaver!
It's not about having many knives, but about having the right one. The key measurement for a kitchen knife's adequacy is its sharpness.
A dull knife is more likely to cause injuries! You might think it's because the knife is too sharp, but it's actually because the knife is too dull, making the food slip under force!
Pressing down on a tomato too hard causes it to deform, squeezing out all the juice, making it not only taste bad but also prone to burning when cooked!
This traditional kitchen meat cleaver features a "front slice, back chop" design.
Use the front end for slicing, the knife rises and falls, each slice clearly defined, clean and efficient without juice flow, locking in the food's nutrients. The knife surface has ridges preventing sticking, and the cut surface is very smooth!
Use the back end for chopping bones. For ribs usually depending on a bone cleaver, this knife chops without any drag.
Don't think it can only chop large hard items; it can equally slice through things as thin as a cicada’s wings and as fine as a hair without any resistance.
Crushing garlic or cucumber is a snap, clean and crisp.
Using it for slicing vegetables, it's so smooth you can't stop, your wrist won’t tire, it's easy and effortless, making cooking quite enjoyable.
The quality of the knife depends first and foremost on its material!
The traditional kitchen meat cleaver is made of 5Cr15MoV: making it hard, wear-resistant, cutting through a coconut is a matter of seconds.
Made from a whole piece of fine steel, high-temperature quenching, and repeated hammering.
As the saying goes, “A thousand times tempered steel is forged into a fine blade,” this way, the kitchen knife created by artisans with hammer strikes is much tougher, also resistant to cracking and chipping.
Additionally, it undergoes quenching heat treatment, grinding and polishing, balance point positioning, handle fitting, honing, and sharpening processes total 40 steps, with extremely strict quality control at every step.
It not only remains sharp at all times but also resists rust and avoids odors.
You no longer need to worry about the blade curling when chopping bones, chicken bones, and ribs.
The knife handles vegetable cutting expertly. Even when mincing meat, it maintains the fibers and juices, much better in texture and taste than machine-ground meat.
Cutting tomatoes is smooth without pressing hard, creating an even cut surface, smooth hand feel, effectively avoiding juice splashing.
Slicing meat requires no back-and-forth sawing; it's as easy as cutting tofu. The slices are even, locking in the juices while the meat fibers remain tender, making the cooked meat so tender it melts in your mouth.
Chopping bones also allows you to leverage force, making it easy to cut through ribs and chicken bones, disassembling an entire chicken or duck with a few blows.
Besides sharpness, the comfort of the handle is a key factor in whether a knife is easy to use.
The kitchen meat cleaver from Zhang Xiaoquan, with a thick back, makes cutting and chopping more stable! Whether slicing or dicing, it moves smoothly!
The handle is made from black walnut wood, compact and anti-slip.
The grip is comfortable, adopting an ergonomic design with a slightly curved handle, combined with comfortable handle material, making it easy and flexible to hold, without pain even after prolonged use, and not afraid of slipping when wet!
The reinforced part uses whole steel rivets, reinforcing while making the knife appear more high-end!
This knife is especially easy to clean! Thanks to the surface's hammering design, it does not stick when cutting simple ingredients, and rinses clean instantly!
