The number of kitchen tools and equipment is quite large. Harvesters, refrigerators, multicooker, microwave ovens - all of them have their own purpose. But the main success of a housewife depends on how good her knives are. Apart from these, the kitchen hatchet is also important.
A kitchen hatchet is designed for cutting and cooking large pieces of meat. It is much more convenient than knives, as it is made, as a rule, of high quality metal and bones and tendons do not spoil it so much.
Kitchen and regular axes
It is worth understanding how this tool differs from a regular ax. If we talk about house hatchets, they are much smaller and more convenient than their counterparts. In addition, conventional axes consist of a wooden handle and a metal blade. Kitchens are one-piece construction. This is necessary so that the handle does not slip during operation, and the center of gravity is exactly in the middle between the butt and the point, as this will allow cutting even the thickest and strongest bones. In addition, there are protrusions at the ends of the tip of the kitchen axes that connect to the base. For ordinary ones, the blade should be straight and wide along the entire base. Only in this way is it possible to split firewood or other objects.
Types of kitchen axes
Before choosing a kitchen hatchet, you need to understand what it is for. There are several types of this tool, each of which is suitable for a specific situation. If it is to be used while hunting, it should be strong, lightweight and with a quality blade. Only these parameters will allow you not to interfere with him during the process itself and quickly butcher the trophy, not paying attention to bones and tendons. In addition, such axes must have a protective cap that will not allow the hunter to injure himself.
If the ax is needed for cutting carcasses in the market or in the store, then another type of ax will do, adapted to this job. It should be large, heavy and with a very strong blade, as it will be used for a long time. But butchers can handle him. Usually these are strong and muscular men, whose complexion allows you to handle such a tool. Women, on the other hand, rarely work in this area, since their muscles are not designed for such loads.
If the hatchet is necessary for the home, then it should chop meat, not bones. It will be indispensable in cases where the knife cannot cope with cutting the product, and there is no point in using a meat grinder. In addition, the blow itself must be accurate. And it is worth hitting in more than one place, since the bone will not be chopped up, but crushed.
