Oh, I didn't realise need separate knives and cutting boards.

I only have one knife and one cutting board.

I wash it after use. Don't cut different food together.
Is washing not good enough?

I guess for knives is ok to use the same if washed after usage. But not too sure about cutting boards as I find cutting board sustains some cuts n forms grooves. M concerned abt bacteria stucked in the grooves despite washing.


It's perfectly ok also. I'm just 'anal', cos I eat salad quite often!

Another reason is knives are shaped uniquely for diff purposes. Meat knives are pointed at the end for u to pierce thru raw meat. Veggie knives are rounded at the end. Fruit knives are smaller and some come with a curved blade. Cleavers are for \"slapping\" garlics and cutting melons. Bread knives are elongated and hv zigzag blades which are better at slicing loafs. Cheese knives hv holes so that cheese doesn't get stuck each time u slice...Butter knives are bended like spades which enables u to spread the grease better. I hv a peeler and cheese grater too.

Hving so many types of knives, I still don't cook often!

I've 2 chopping boards.

What about scissors?

Any recommendation for reasonably priced scissor for kitchen use?
Those I bought become rusty soon after using even though stainless steel. I use tissue to wipe dry after using. Still rust.

I'm using something like this http://www.zwilling.com/en/scissors-series.1299/items/twin--2655.html

so far so good. Bought from tangs I guess. Forgot the price liao.

the sale rep advise is get the 2 man one (more expensive). It is made in europe or something that like. The one man one, althou same company, is made in China shanghai.

Been using for like 1 year plus.. still like new.

:thankyou: for sharing the link. very informative.

I m using KAI (made in Japan) scissors, bou from OG.

My older pair of KAI is not as sharp now (which is > 5 years usage), no rust at all, even if I leave it close up after washing.

The newer pair (not for raw food, less than 2 years old), forms a layer of brownish stain if I do not leave it on the drying rack, in a open up manner.

I think the newer gadgets are not made as well as the older ones, sth to do with the quality of steel used or the mfg process is not as meticulous as before?

1 Rose knife for everything? i can't. I need a separate knife for meat, veggie, fruit, bread, bones. I'm worried abt transferring meat bacteria to my salad and baguette.

Think everyone has > 1 knife, each for raw, veg/cooked n fruits.

I also hv 3 cutting boards.
