Using a meat cleaver properly is essential for safety and efficiency in the kitchen. Here’s how to use it correctly:
1. Grip the handle with your dominant hand and make sure it’s secure.
2. Position the blade on top of the food you want to chop.
3. Use your other hand (non-dominant) to guide the meat cleaver.
4. Swing the cleaver down onto the food forcefully but safely.
5. Repeat as needed, but be careful not to hack away too quickly or you might lose control of the cleaver.
