Oh, he's so right about knife skills being crucial! It's such a basic thing, but so many people just hack away and end up being slow and clumsy. Getting this down early makes so much sense.
Interesting to see the different knives laid out. That carving knife with the serrated edge looks pretty serious, but I can see how it'd be good for tougher meats.
Okay, the chef's knife is clearly the MVP here, and I love the analogy of using it like a dustpan and brush to gather ingredients. That's a visual I'll remember for keeping things tidy and efficient.
