While each tip can mostly stand alone, it is best to read them all and incorporate them into an overall assault on the grill. Be sure to have your assault well fortified with your favorite beverage! Today's tip is: Keep Sharp Knives

Knives are really important pieces of equipment to the backyard barbecuer. We recommend going to a knife store or a large department store - if the former is not available - and purchasing several high quality knives for your use in preparing the meat both for cooking and for eating. Here are a few knives you may want to place in your arsenal:

• Butcher Knife - Light and heavy duty
• Skinning Knife
• Fish/Filet Mignon Knife
• Chopper
• Boning Knife
• Paring Knife
• Chef's Slicing Knife
• Chef's Knife
• Utility Knife

In order to keep knives sharp and in excellent condition. Always hand wash and dry before putting away. When you do put them up, place them into a knife block to protect the blades. And when using a good knife, ALWAYS USE A WOODEN CUTTING BOARD preferably a hard rock maple board. It will not dull the knife and will help make good clean cuts with sharp knives.
