Faca de cozinha WMF 18.8204.6032 aço inoxidável 1 unid. faca de corte

As the name suggests, a Chinese chef’s knife is designed for preparing Asian food. Ultimately, however, it is capable of so much more. For due to its versatility and good handling characteristics, more and more professional and amateur chefs around the world are swearing by this exotic model. Although shaped like an axe, the Chinese chef’s knife is not used to chop firm foods. As its blade is too thin to shatter bones, it is designed for precision dicing fruit and vegetables and chopping herbs. Unlike its European counterpart, the blade of the Chinese chef’s knife is extremely wide. WMF offers a wide range of Chinese chef’s knives, allowing you to expand your knife collection individually with such prime candidates.

As the name suggests, the Chef’s Edition was designed for professional chefs and for all those looking for maximum cutting precision. The idea behind the collection came about after a workshop on handling and cutting techniques. Professional chefs hold wide knives between their thumb and index finger just in front of the bolster – i.e. precisely where you would find a sharp edge on standard knives. This realisation led to the development of a knife with a smooth transition between the blade and the bolster as well as on the spine. As there are no sharp edges, the knives in the Chef’s Edition fit perfectly in the hand and effortlessly cut through even the thickest pieces of meat and the crunchiest of vegetables. Thanks to the seamless transition between the blades and the stainless steel handles, the models are particularly easy-care and hygienic. The series includes a larding knife, an all-purpose knife, a chef’s knife, a carving knife and a bread knife as well as a Chinese chef’s knife. All blades are Performance Cut, guaranteeing outstanding, long-lasting sharpness. Besides tactile and functional qualities, the Chef’s Edition also boasts a modern design.

How to use

Grip the knife where the blade meets the bolster for precise control, using a rocking or chopping motion appropriate to the food’s texture. Use the wide blade to collect and transfer chopped ingredients from the board to the pan. Avoid using the knife to cut through bones or frozen items, as the blade is designed for precision slicing and chopping of produce and meat portions rather than heavy-duty bone splitting.

Recommendations

Clean and dry the knife after each use and store it safely to preserve the Performance Cut edge. For best results, hone regularly and sharpen professionally when needed; do not use in dishwashers frequently to maintain the finish and handle integrity.
