Lesson #1: To be a good cook, you really NEED quality knives. Class over. We can help you choose a knife that is perfect for YOU.
The CLASSIC 5″ Hollow Edge Santoku Knife is designed with a thinner blade than the traditional chef’s knife, at a 10 cutting edge, and gradually curves up at the very end providing a straighter edge. The hollow edge is crafted with evenly spaced vertical indentations, which create small air pockets between the blade and the food. These small air pockets gently push food off the blade and reduce friction and drag. This knife allows cooks to effortlessly prep a wide array of fresh produce, including starchy vegetables like potatoes, which tend to stick to a knife’s blade.
Each knife purchase comes with a Knife Skills booklet.
The perfect gift for any foodie in your life, Gift Certificates from The Culinary Center of Kansas City are available for purchase online or in our Kitchen Shop in Downtown Overland Park.
