Fruit & Vegetable Knives

There are many specialty gadgets in the kitchen and specialty knives can really be a godsend if your commercial kitchen has a heavy focus on produce in the menu. Select a grapefruit knife when preparing the tart citrus fruit for easy eating at breakfast, lunch or brunch. The double-serrated blade makes cutting around the edges of each wedge a snap. Need to create a little twist of lemon? A channel knife makes an easy job of separating the lemon peel from the fruit, resulting in a perfect twist every time.

To create a unique patter in potatoes or other root vegetables, consider buying a crinkle blade knife. The knife cuts a zig-zag form every time it cuts through the vegetable. It is a great tool for making fresh crinkly cut fries. A julienne knife is a great tool for making professional looking cuts in fresh fruit and veggie trays.
