Learning to cook is the best thing you can do for yourself! Not only will you save some money, not buying all that takeout, but your health will also thank you. Moreover, the sense of pride you get for preparing a tasty dish is something else! However, there are certain things you need to master if you want to become a better chef. One of them is cutting skills. And this easy guide will be your holy grail!
Although the taste of the food is what matters, it should also look appealing to the eye. Dishes with ingredients that are cut unevenly are an eyesore!

Then, he moves on to demonstrating the cutting on the most common vegetables. Furthermore, the chef shows us how to use the “claw grip” to slice and dice onions, garlic, tomatoes, and bell peppers.
