On the Cutting Edge, a knife skills class, taught by
Travis Standley and Jane Wolery, MSU Teton County Extension Agents, teaches
participants the basics of knife selection and care, as well as efficient
cutting skills for fresh produce. The knife skills class is planned for April
17 from 5:30-8:30 p.m. at the Choteau Baptist Church. The fee for the
class is $5 per person and registration is required. Class will be
limited to 20 participants. However, Standley and Wolery plan to offer more
classes, so if you cannot attend the class on April 17, but are interested in
taking the class, please contact the Extension Office to be placed on a waiting
list.
During the three hour class, participants will learn about
economical knife choices, cutting board care, knife care, sharpening and food
safety. Participants will also practice a variety of cutting techniques
that should increase efficiency in food preparation, encourage production of
homemade meals, and increase the use of fruits and vegetables. Students will
practice the claw hold and tunnel hold.
Participants will learn several cuts to make food more appealing:
dice, cube, mince, julienne, rondelle, concasse and chiffonade.
Participants will learn how food choices relate to overall nutrition and disease
prevention. Skills learned in this class will be used daily in the
kitchen when preparing food, and will be valuable for those prepping food for
preservation. The class is taught in such a way as to make the experience
fun and rewarding for students! Contact the MSU Teton County Extension
Office to register for the class.
