Hospo 2018- Knife handling

                               Knife Safety-

-When carrying a knife around you hold it by your side with the point towards the ground. Also making sure you are walking around while holding knives and not running.









                                         Storage-
By storing knifes in a cupboard on a metal strip keeps the sharpness of the blade from becoming blunt, because if they are kept in draws the other utensils can bump into the knifes causing them to go blunt and can also end up damaging them.  

- Placing a wet cloth under the chopping board to secure it from moving around and causing injuries. To stop contamination's, Make sure the boards and knifes are clean before using.








-When using a blunt knife on foods, you tend to use more pressure which can lead to injury. Keeping the blades sharp allows to cut food easily and won´t rip the fibres in the foods.
