ok ...wasnt going to say anything else. But I am curious as to what technique you were taught that it is for everything. What was it called or can you describe it? Is it the slicing motion they say its actually rowing.

Yes chicken was the title. But pull cut technique isnt just for chicken. Thanks again ......but I am done with this on going.:)

I am learning by doing. After all that is the only way you learn anything. I just want to say and I hope no one goes off on this i just want to clear something up. Every body thinks i am talking about chicken when i was asking about the technique of the pull cut, also gave an example of onion...

Lets just say i am cooking up a storm. And getting better each day. With so many different ways to do things it does get confusing. The answers i get do seem the same but it is the way some of you say things that does not help me thats is why i ask again thinking maybe the next person might...

yes i know its a simple task. But there are two ways that i read where you use the tip only on the knife(handle is angle up a little)for pull cut and also where you use the full bade the belly and pull back till tip comes to the end. I dont see where I am over complicating this at all. Just a...

i cant find where i read or heard but, it was for soft veg. you use the pulling cut and hard veg the push cut . Has any one else heard this? Thats why I ask about back of knife on item pull towards you and other knife edge on item with forward and back motion. I have to say i am not making this...

Andy, I got what you said when slicing using a forward and backward motion. What i dont get is on the chicken piece you mention slicing as long strips,so here would not do the forward and backward motion? Is it because one is just to be used for slicing and the other used for making long strips...
