How to Easily Sharpen a Dull Knife<\/h2>\n<\/span>\n Positioning the dull knife \n <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Nothing kills kitchen momentum like a dull knife. Pros keep theirs razor-sharp with whetstones and specialty tools, but most households don\u2019t have those gadgets on hand. If you\u2019re stuck hacking instead of slicing, try this clever, no-equipment trick to bring a blunt blade back to life.<\/p>\n<\/span> \n <\/figure>\n
Grab a ceramic mug and use the unglazed ring on the bottom as a makeshift sharpener. Hold the blade and, from heel to tip, draw it along the unglazed spot. Repeat on both sides, always stroking in the same direction.<\/p>\n<\/span> \n <\/figure>\n
You may notice tiny metal filings come off as you sharpen \u2014 that\u2019s normal.<\/p>\n<\/span> \n <\/figure>\n
A plate\u2019s unglazed back works just as well if you don\u2019t have a mug.<\/p>\n<\/span> \n <\/figure>\n
Again, drag the blade from base to tip along the rim in a smooth motion.<\/p>\n<\/span> \n <\/figure>\n
Rinse the knife thoroughly under running water to remove any residue. Dry it and test \u2014 the edge should feel noticeably sharper, making prep faster and way more enjoyable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
