What kind of knife do you use to cut a roast beef?

The Cleaver: A large, often rectangular knife used for heavy-duty jobs, like breaking down beef. The Bread Knife: This knife comes with a serrated edge designed to cut through bread and soft-shelled fruits without damaging or crushing them. Depending on how it's designed, it can also be used in place of a carver.

What is the best type of knife to cut meat?

Chef's knives and Santoku chef's knives are used for cutting prime meats such as those prepared by a butcher or vendor, dicing common vegetables, disjointing some cuts, slicing herbs, and chopping nuts. Boning knives are used for boning cuts of meat, fish and poultry, and removing skin from meat and fish.

What is a Granton edge knife?

A Granton blade has a row of identical dimples (or scallops) on both sides of the blade. Unlike a serrated edge, which is scalloped along the edge itself, a Granton blade is scalloped only along the sides and has a straight edge, much like a standard knife.

Do you cut roast beef against the grain?

Slice meat crosswise, going against the grain. This is essential for maintaining a tender cut of beef. If the roast is tied with string, always cut the direction of the string. Butchers always tie the string against the grain, so this is an easy way to identify the grain.

What is a disadvantage of using a dull knife?

A dull blade is actually more dangerous to use than one that is sharp. Here's why: A dull blade requires more pressure to cut, increasing the chance that the knife will slip with great force behind it. A sharp knife "bites" the surface more readily.
