What are the uses of various knives, and how to clean and maintain them?

First, the use of tools

1. Saw knives: suitable for cutting soft products such as toast and bread.
2. Pastry knives: Mainly used for cutting cakes and other pastry desserts.
3. Scraper: Used to spread cream and chocolate to flatten the surface.
4. Cattle knife: suitable for cutting meat products such as beef.
5. Cake spatula: It is used for easy scraping and demolding when demolding cakes.

2. Precautions for the use of tools

1. Handle with care during handling: Because the alloy steel is elastic, avoid excessive impact to avoid breakage.
2. Avoid picking objects with long-edged knives: long-edged knives are prone to breakage and should not be used to pick up harder items.
3. Cleaning and drying: Wash with warm water and neutral detergent immediately after use, and store in a dry and ventilated place after completely drying to avoid moisture and high temperature causing growth.
4. Avoid acidic residues: After cutting acidic fruits, wash them thoroughly with water in time to avoid corrosion on the surface of the knife caused by acids and moisture.
5. No chlorine-containing detergents: Avoid chlorine-containing detergents for cleaning and prolonged immersion to avoid chloride ions corroding the tool surface.

3. Cleaning and maintenance methods of knives

Cleaning:

1. Wash knives with warm water and mild detergent.
2. Wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth and avoid using rough cloths or sponges to avoid scratching the surface of the knife.

Maintenance:

1. The knives contain high carbon components, and improper maintenance is easy to produce skull. When raw stiff is found, you can use an ordinary whetstone to gently rub the raw stiff surface to restore it to its original shape.
2. Avoid prolonged humidity and high temperatures to maintain the quality and performance of the tool.

Precautions for use:

1. Avoid gravity striking the blade part to maintain the sharpness and integrity of the blade.

These precautions and methods can effectively extend the service life of the tool and maintain its good function and appearance. Regular cleaning and proper maintenance are key to ensuring the long-term use of your tools.
