The most useful tool in my kitchen is my trusty Santoku chef's knife.

A Santoku knife isn't a brand, it's a type of chef's knife. It's the Japanese version of the typical Western chef's knife, but slightly shorter and thinner.

To me, it's just easier to handle and more flexible to use.

Regardless of whether you prefer a Western or an Eastern instrument in your kitchen, there's no denying that the chef's knife is the most important tool in your arsenal.

The chef's knife can do almost everything and all knives are lesser instruments in the grand scheme of cooking.

I even get upset with my wife when she uses a small pairing knife to cut vegetables. It completely drives me up the wall that she's using a tool that's completely unfit for the job when you can use the chef's knife to make it so much easier.

FYI, she is unimpressed with my exasperations... 

However, it reminded me of what I talked about in a recent email about using exciters to add high-end. Why use such a specialized plug-in when all you need to do is boost the highs with an EQ?

It baffles me.

The chef's knife is the EQ of the kitchen. It's the #1 tool for more effective cooking, just like EQ is the #1 plug-in for better sounding mixes.
