Bread Knife

[Triz]

Question..

When you get out a bread knife and use it on bread and that's all, do you bother washing it up or just brush the very few crumbs on the knife and put it back?

I'm washing it before I put it back!

I'm washing it before I put it back!

Do you also wash the measuring jug that you used to measure 200ml of water in?

[tbl]

Not unless I drop it on the floor after I've used it

I wash it because changes are when I'm cutting bread, I'm making a sandwich so then I'm putting mayo or something on it, so I use the knife to put that on and then I wash after :)

Depends if it's like a soft sticky bread but ALSO a bread knife is basically useless anyway. Unless your bread is hard as steel the serration just tears everything apart and leaves carnage everywhere while a properly sharpened chef's knife cuts in a straight line without ripping

[tbl]

When you slice your bread, do you smash it down and then cut or are you lightly holding it in place?

[FlyingJesus]

Delicate letting the sharp edge do the cutting rather than the pressure, otherwise it squishes out of shapeeeeeeee

this is an insane take and I must conclude that you must be the worst bread slicer in the world???

No, the worst bread slicer in the world is a bread knife

I wash before putting it back, did you not do the experiment in school where you put a slice of bread in a ziplock bag?! :%

I only use a bread knife to cut hard rolls though - otherwise I just use the table knife that I used to spread the butter or sauce... ain't nobody got time for additional washing up.
