How to Hold a Chef’s Knife Like a Pro Using the Pinch Grip

Описание: In this video, Chef Chuck Kerber shows us how to hold a chef’s knife the right way using the pinch grip!

Also referred to as the blade grip, the pinch grip is usually one of the first subjects taught in culinary arts programs – and most instructors and chefs will tell you this is the most effective way to hold a knife.

The pinch grip is achieved by “pinching” the blade between your thumb and the knuckle of your forefinger, with the rest of your fingers safely tucked under the handle. Holding a knife this way offers several advantages, including more centered balance and control over the knife and less effort with different knife cuts, such as the “rock chop” method, which involves anchoring the tip of the knife (usually the chef’s knife) against a cutting board and rocking the knife up and down through ingredients.

The more you practice the pinch grip and become familiar with the different knife cuts, the closer you’ll get to slicing, dicing and mincing like a pro!
