SLICE IT RIGHT!
KNIFE SAFETYAlways use a cutting board. Hold the food
firmly in place with your hand.
For our cutting boards, place a damp dishcloth under the cutting board to prevent slipping.
Use a sharp knife instead of a dull knife. A dull knife requires that you exert more pressure, making you more likely to slip and cut yourself.
Curl your finger tips under on the hand holding the food.
This prevents you from nicking your fingertips or losing part of your finger!
Always cut away from yourself
For rounded foods, first cut a thin slice from the bottom so the food will sit flat on the cutting board.
How to walk/handle a knifeWalk with the knife right against the side of
your body with the blade facing downwards
When walking behind someone with a knife, say ‘behind’ to make the person aware that you are behind them to prevent run-ins.
