If we told you that dull knives are more dangerous than sharp knives, would you believe us? Well, it’s true. Lots of kitchen accidents are caused by dull knives. The blunted edge makes it more likely for your hand to slip when cutting things with smooth, waxy outsides like tomatoes or peppers.
Sharp knives just glide right on through. But knife sharpeners can be expensive and cumbersome. Luckily, someone found a cheap and easy way to sharpen knives with something that everyone should have around their house somewhere.
The YouTuber VitallyZilber is going to show you how to sharpen knives using the bottom part of a ceramic mug. According to the description, this should also work with ceramic plates too.
If you’re uncomfortable with using your bare hands like he does, you can wear a pair of leather gloves. Also, make sure you rinse the knife before you get cutting so you don’t get particles of ceramic and metal in your food!
