Blunt kitchen knives, scissors and garden tools. Dry wooden chopping boards. We all have them. But maintaining your stuff is easy… when you know how.
Professional knife sharpener Gareth Heaton draws on years of experience – both at his kitchenware business and running workshops – to provide step-by-step instructions on how to correctly sharpen your tools. Using whetstones and other abrasives, you'll make them more effective and safer to use – and discover the hidden joy and satisfaction of maintenance. In Do Maintain, you will learn how to:
Properly sharpen all types of kitchen knives
Sharpen scissors, secateurs, spades and more
Use whetstones and ditch ineffective home sharpeners
Treat wooden chopping boards and season cast-iron pans
It's time to start looking after those everyday tools and utensils, break the cycle of buy and replace, and learn the lost skill of knife sharpening.
