Detailed explanation-1: -Keep fingertips curled under the hand that is holding the food. Point the blade away from your body when cutting, washing, or drying a knife. Always use a cutting board. Secure your cutting board with a damp paper towel or non-slip mat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cut Away from Yourself A knife should be used in a gentle motion in the direction away from your body; not towards you.
Detailed explanation-3: -A rule of thumb is to “always cut away from you, and you’ll never cut yourself.” Another great truth is, “a sharp knife is a safer knife.” This gives you greater control of the blade. When a heavy force is applied, the blade often cuts deeper than intended, sometimes into your flesh.
Detailed explanation-4: -Secure your chopping board. Never wave a knife in the air. Keep your knives clean. Create a flat surface on your ingredient before cutting it. Take your time. Don’t leave your knives lying around. Sharpen your knives. Always hold a knife in your dominant hand. More items
