Chop veggies like a ninja it's easy!!
How many times have you cut your finger with a knife in the kitchen?
Have you always wanted to chop with a knife like those chefs on the tv?
Do you crave to learn the dark arts of the ninja?
Then read on...
I make a lot of food, if you follow me you might have noticed ;0)
One of the most useful things that a friend taught me and no it wasn't the don't touch your nethers after chopping a habanero was how to use a chefs knife without cutting yourself and in the process chop really fast!!!
It's really simple and once you learn you will become a chopping machine.. a chopping ninja!!
So let's go. Firstly you will need a big, heavy, sharp chefs knife. Like so
Now this is quite simple but best demonstrated by seeing so I have made a couple of videos! The end of the first being the most ninja
Essentially you want to hold your fingers pointing down to the veg, making a 'wall' for the knife to slide down. This way nothing is in front of the blade but the veg.
And to demonstrate in a better way here are a couple of short videos.
And one more for the lolz!
Let me know what you think! And remember.. You are ninja now.
Can you write some lyrics for your chopping melody? :)
Hehe, magnificent gif! I could maybe fit some words in it yes! hehe
Yeek, indeed! I've only cut myself once with a vegetable knife, but I lost part of my finger that day. You are doing a huge public service with this post. :)
I cut myself many times before I learned to chip properly so thought it good to share!!
Great Ninja post @meesterboom!
Thank you @amy-goodrich, its all in the outfit! lol
thank you @meesterboom - great post and great videos. Keep up the good work!

Oh I can't stand it when i see people chopping food the wrong way especially if they haven't sharpened the knife.
Same here, its like waiting for the inevitable slice and scream!
I've always wanted to learn this. I'm gonna give it a try next time I cook! Thanks!
Cheers! You will never look back once you get the hang of it, as long as you start nice and slow then build up!!
Héél goed! :)
