If you don't have a serrated knife in Australia then you probably don't spend that much time in the kitchen. A serrated knife, just like the Chef’s Knife, is one of the most-used knives in any kitchen.
A serrated knife cuts or slices easily through any food that is hard on the outside. Think of a loaf of sourdough bread. A serrated knife works like a saw for certain foods. It has a tooth-like edge that easily slides through bread or any chicken, meat, fish, or veggies that have a harder exterior. Roasted potatoes would also be a good example of needing a serrated knife.
Good-quality serrated knives
Like with any knife in your kitchen, buy only good quality. A serrated knife is going to be in your kitchen for a long time. A good quality knife lasts a lifetime, perhaps just needing the occasional sharpening. With any knife that you buy, buy a stylish, luxurious, attractive, practical and top-quality knife. The cost is always worth it.
A good knife makes all the difference to your cooking. It is easy to slice bread, cut through cakes, carve the chicken, dice the veggies, serve the corn, and to do anything that you would need to cut, slice, chop or dice. Good knives mean it is easier to cook and it is easier to serve food. Good knives also give you a better result.
A good quality knife makes a great gift for someone. Always add a coin to the packaging; this is an old-fashioned tradition. You can never go wrong with a serrated knife in Australia as a fabulous gift.
