    Yup. The only real exception is trimming connective tissue from meat. A slightly dull knife can perfectly peel it away without wasting much meat, a nice sharp knife will cut straight through it and make way more work for yourself

      Um… No. Don’t blame your tools. Improve your technique. A knife is only as sharp as the mind wielding it. 👩🏼‍🍳

            Uh huh. How much meat have you trimmed? Tons? Slightly dull is sharp enough to separate meat from silverskin, but not chop into the meat or silverskin. It’s faster, more efficient, less wasteful. If you’re using a sharp knife, you’re either not being thorough, you’re being wasteful, or you’re taking longer than you need to. Full stop. A slightly dull blade is the technique.

              I’m so sorry you’re this adamantly idiotic. Your dull knives are compensating for your willful imprecision, but it’s your pompous refusal to learn proper technique that’s truly hamstringing you. I don’t have the time to sort through your bullshit if you won’t, either. Enjoy your fingers while they’re still attached, cupcake — and stay the fuck outta my kitchen.

                Uh, yeah, obviously.

                I’d bet my car I can trim down a pork loin faster than you, with less waste, and less bullshit left on the meat. But who knows, maybe my “slightly dull” is the same as your “sharp”, and this is all a big misunderstanding.
