Even though I\u2019ve worked in the culinary industry for 15 years, keeping my kitchen knives sharp is something I still struggle with. I finally stopped lying to myself about how I was going to learn to sharpen knives, and I now take them to a professional knife sharpener, but it\u2019s one of those chores that creeps up on me. It\u2019s easy to put off until I realize I’m bearing down WAY too hard when I’m just trying to chop an onion. That\u2019s why the trick Ina Garten posted on Instagram caught my attention.\n<\/p>\n

In the video, she shares that she stores her knives upside down in her knife block. \u201cIf you put it in right side, the usual way, as you put it in the blade is scraping against the wood, and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s good for the blade,\u201d she explains. Her solution is simple: she puts the knives in the slots with the sharp edge facing up<\/strong>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

In the caption Ina notes that she goes for knife blocks that have a horizontal rather than vertical slot for the knives to avoid this scenario. However, the bottom slots where the steak knives go are usually vertical no matter what.\n<\/p>\n
