Anyone else do absolutely unnecessary knife-work for their own dinner? I live alone 🤣

Satisfying to look at! That’s my main motivation for doing that for my solo meals 🙂

Always do the same knife work for work and home because I don’t wanna develop bad habits.

Single me used to do careful knife work thinking when I date someone they’ll be so impressed. My wife had spent the last 3 years complaining dinner is taking too long.
It’s therapeutic to chop things up. Having uniformity in terms of shape and size. Also I am very peculiar about how veggies are cut based on the dish I’m making so I seldom ask for help in chopping. I detest choppers too because I feel like they make me lose control over the variations I can have.

I like when things cook evenly, when I cook them to the exact point that the flavour pops the way I want it, for me it’s not unnecessary it’s just part of the process.

Nice Sukenari 😛 I mean, if you have a nice knife, might as well use it right?

I chop as small as is practical for the cooking method/time. For me, it’s way easier and quicker to chop more and chew less later. Might as well practice making it at least slightly pretty while I’m at it.

Sometimes yeah
Other day though I ripped off some parsley barehanded

Yeah man, I’ve been free of the kitchen for five years now, but somehow manage to maintain my knife callous.

Let’s see Paul Allen’s salad. Nicely done Chef.
….I pulled out my yanagiba to slice leftover steak and lay it over white rice. Completely unnecessary lol.
The plating is awesome!
No but every Sunday I post the home cooking I do for my dog and my roommates pup. Maybe I ought to do some unnecessary knife work for this Sunday!
