Hi, everyone, I am Dia,
I am the Culinary Expert
for Tupperware US and Canada.
And today,
I'm here with Luciano Garcia,
and he is the Product Manager
for US and Canada.
And we're here to talk to you about
something very exciting.
The brand new
Tupperware Chef Series Pure Knives.
So being in the kitchen
as often as I am,
it's so important to have a sharp knife.
And you know what they say?
A sharp knife is a chef's best friend.
So, Luciano, why don't you talk to us
a little bit about these knives
and what they include in the set?
I would love to show you, Dia.
So our Chef Series Pure Knives Set
includes of nine pieces
and plus, the block.
You'll get a chef's knife,
a carving knife, a bread knife,
a filleting knife,
a serrated utility knife,
a utility knife, a paring knife,
a curved paring knife,
and kitchen shears.
So if we take a minute
to look at this blade,
it's really a truly beautiful knife.
And the first thing you're gonna notice
is that hammered pattern,
and what that does is that
it minimizes the resistance
while cutting,
so when you're cutting food,
your food actually
won't stick to the blade.
The blade is a forged blade,
which means that
they hold an edge extremely well
because they are molded
and hammered into
the perfect shape and thickness.
Looking at the knife
as of complete instrument
from the tip to the tang,
we have the cutting edge
and we have the spine
which has the flat side.
And we have the heel,
which is where the blade is the widest,
then we have the bolster which is
where the handle meets the blade,
and of course,
we have our ergonomic handle
which helps us cut safely.
Why don't we tell our audience
what's the correct way
to cut with the knife?
Sure, so I'd like to take my thumb
and my index and pinch the blade.
Okay.
So that way you have
complete control of the blade.
You want to resist
the urge of doing this.
This isn't gonna do you any favors
and it's actually going
to tilt the blade a little bit.
So you want to pinch the blade,
that's the most
comfortable way to do it,
and your opposite hand,
you want to put it
in the shape of a C for careful.
You're gonna place
the C down on the cutting board
and the tip of the blade
will be touching the cutting board
and then rocking motion
back and forth, back and forth
because that is easy to do
with the curved edge of the blade.
We're going to do some peppers.
So you're gonna just follow me
just real quick again,
want to make sure
that our fingers tips are tucked in.
And that was such an easy
and beautiful cut,
and it cuts like butter, guys.
And we're just gonna do
some clean slices.
Wow, guys. This is truly amazing.
These knives are so easy to use.
And if you notice, the food literally
just pops right off the blade,
so that's the hammer pattern
right there.
Perfect, Dia.
So now why don't we just talk about
some of exclusive designs
that we offer with our bread knives.
Of course,
so the bread knife,
the cool thing about
it is that it is serrated.
It actually goes towards one direction
and I'd like to call them little waves
because that's what they look like.
And then here it actually stops,
straight down
and then it goes the other way.
It actually cuts at one single stroke
instead of having to saw into the bread.
Wow, Dia. So are you ready to start?
- Of course, yes.
- Okay, let's try this.
So again, we want to make sure
hand is on a clove
with our fingertips tuck under
and then in one single stroke
you're going to make sure
you're using the force
and you're going
to cut it straight down,
- and look how easy.
- Wow, you see these, guys?
This Chef Series Pure Knife bread knife
is truly amazing.
So, guys, we're gonna show you
how to cut a cake.
- Right, Dia?
- Yeah. Super fun.
And I feel like,
not a lot of people know that
you could actually use
the bread knife for this too
because it's called the bread knife,
so it's like, why would I use it,
but cake is a type of bread
if you think about it.
- Sweetbread, right?
- Okay.
So the double serrated
again come into play here,
it does help really well
with minimizing the crumbs
and cutting the cake really seamlessly
and really easy.
Before you actually cut your cake,
we're using our cake decor,
so make sure you put a cutting board
underneath the cake.
That is correct.
You want to make sure that
you cut always on a cutting board.
So here, I'm just gonna go ahead
and cut a slice.
See, easy it is, guys.
Look, how pretty that is.
Okay, Dia, so we've seen
our amazing bread knife.
So what's next?
So let's go ahead
and show them the curved paring knife.
And this is a really cool knife
because the blade of it is curved,
so it's gonna help you
peel your fruits very easily.
And I actually have an apple here.
Can you pass me an apple
so I could show them how to peel it?
Yeah, but before,
it's amazing cake.
You guys have to try this cake.
It's fantastic.
We're actually going to put our thumb
on the fruit
as far away as you can
and then you are just going
to place it slightly on the skin
and then start peeling back.
Wow, guys.
Look at this. This is fantastic.
It's really a smooth cut.
It is really easy
and it's definitely super handy,
especially
because it has the sheath
so it's super handy to have,
take it with you on the go,
in case you need it.
I know like kids sometimes too
don't really like
the skin of a certain fruit.
And not all fruit.
It's eatable as well,
so it's nice to have this
and be able to use it.
If you look at the cut,
it's super thin.
So you're actually reducing waste
while cutting.
- Correct, Dia?
- Yeah. Look at that.
Wow, that's fantastic.
Like there is almost
no of the flesh on the peel.
It's time to ramp up, guys.
But first, thank you, Dia,
for showing us
all of these amazing tips
and tricks on how to use
our Chef's Series Pure Knives.
But let's talk a little bit about
how to take care
of the Chef Series Pure Knives.
We only recommend you to use plastic
or wooden cutting boards
to avoid damaging the blade.
Only how can we wash them?
Do not place them in the dishwasher.
And make sure you dry them
before putting it in the block.
If you're not placing them
in the block,
we would recommend you
to use the sheathes.
Each knife will come with a sheath.
So please make sure that you use them
while on the go or storing them
on a cupboard.
Yes, and speaking of the sheath,
it actually
has a small little icon here
that corresponds
to the knife that it goes to.
And a nice little tip
to place it on the knife
is to make sure that the logo
for Tupperware on the blade
as well as the logo
on the sheath is facing you,
and then you're gonna go ahead
and place it in and keep going
until the sheath reaches the bolster.
To remove it, the same thing.
Always make sure you're grabbing it
by the sheath as well.
Wow, Dia.
Tupperware house spread
about everything.
I hope you guys enjoyed everything
that we had to share with you
about these Chef Pure Knives.
