My Handy Kitchen Tool

I like putting colorful garnishes in my dishes. They make what I cook more attractive to my children’s eyes. I discovered long ago that they would eat more when the food is prepared with veggies or fruits in colorful shapes and designs. This is why my paring knife is invaluable in my kitchen.
This knife is small, only about 2 ½ to 4 inches long. It is designed with a plain edge like a chef’s knife but is much smaller. I consider this knife an extension of my hand as it makes peeling fruits and vegetables and slicing small ingredients very easy. I also use this to de-vein shrimps and removing seeds from peppers aside from using it to cut shapes out of different foods for garnishing.
