Pittsburgh Knife Skills Class

Hi Jesse,

Thanks for the link to your new blog. Will you have a knife skills class? I’d pay you to show me what I should be doing with my knives. (I would also bring my own knives.) I bet you could solicit a handful of people.

Janice

Dear Janice:

That’s not a bad idea. If other people are also interested, I’d be glad to. Anyone participating could expect inexpensive, hands-on training; personalized assistance with their knife skills; and a class that would culminate in the preparation and eating of a tasty meal. So what say you, Pittsburgh? Anyone interested, please post a comment!

    Jesse,

    I’m up for it too. I’ve only got crappy knives right now — ones where all the knives are a little serrated, making them impossible to sharpen. Maybe a class on how to use knives would provide incentive for me get better knives and cook a bit more.

    My brother cringes everytime he sees me using a knife - he truly believes one of these days I’m going to cut a finger off. So, I’d be more than happy to get some real knife skill lessons, if only to stop him from making that face!

    Greenfield in the hizz-ouse!

    I’d be in for a knife skills class, especially with the promise of tasty foods. I might have to share knives with my roommate/class instigator Janice.

    Why do the size of the kebobs in your first post make me question my masculinity?

    I don’t live in Pittsburgh, but I could use some knife-skills instruction. I cut myself pitting an avocado the other day. I’d like to avoid more incidents of that kind in the future; bloody avocado doesn’t taste very good.
