Serrated Blade
Why don’t people cut vegetables with serrated knifes?
I have noticed that no one I know that cooks cuts fruits with a serrated knife, always a normal blade? Why is this? Can it cause stomach problems or something related?
Cutting with serrated knives tends to tear the product being cut and most of the time when cutting veggies cooks want a smooth, easy cut which does not bruise the veggies. The exception might be tomatos as a small “tomato” knife, which is serrated, makes cutting through a tomatoe skin easier.
The kind of knife used has nothing to do with digestive problems, but more of ease for the cutter. Most veggies are solid and cut easier with a sharp knife, but there is nothing to keep you from using your knife of choice. Beware, if using a serrated knife frequently with hard uncooked veggies you will dull the blade. You will also be doing more work on your part as you will literally be “sawing” instead of “cutting” the veggies.
