Bread knives

Most cooks in the home kitchen do not use tools that can greatly facilitate the process of cutting bakery products. And this is a great omission, because bread cutting knives will reduce the number of crumbs, not to damage the crumb, and also - to cut any type of bread and flour products.

Bread knives: features of a kitchen tool

The main feature of a bread knife, which at first glance catches the eye - the presence of not flat, but serrated cutting edge. Having the so-called serrater - teeth of equal diameter and sharpness, the knife allows you to cut bread with minimal damage to the inner content and coloring on the surface of the table.

Bread knife in the kitchen is easy to distinguish due to such features:

• Dimensional blade, which can reach a length of more than 20 cm.

• The entire surface of the blade is a solid work area.

• The tip has no sharpness, rounded, as it does not participate in the process of cutting bread.

• The width and thickness of the blade is the same throughout its length for convenience.

• Blade thickness is moderate for comfortable cutting, rarely more than 1.5 mm.

• The teeth have a special sharpening angle so as not to injure the softness of the products.

• Wide and thick bolster that distributes the load throughout the tool.

Another key feature refers not so much to the knife, but to its application. While conventional tools are designed to form a longitudinal, fast and thin cut, the use of bread knives is more like sawing a loaf into separate fragments.

What a quality bread knife should be

Bread is one of those products that are difficult to cut both immediately after baking, while it is soft and hot, and after the formation on it a crisp, dense crust. That's what bread knives are for, but it pays to choose a good chef's tool to ensure that your baked goods are sliced properly.

A professional bread knife should have these characteristics:

• High-quality blade material - stainless steel, resistant to corrosion, not prone to warping and with a smooth polish;
• Lightweight and comfortable handle, which is not afraid of the influence of water, does not absorb moisture and odors, does not form fungus;
• Optimal blade length, which varies depending on the type of bread being sliced, where the longest version will be needed for loaves and baguettes;
• A moderate steel hardness of 52 Rockwell points, which is enough for cutting soft baked goods.

Keep in mind the price aspect. Cutting soft products requires special skills and tools, high-quality material of the cutting edge and a comfortable handle, which affects the final cost of the bread knife.
