Cleaver – Your Powerful Kitchen Helper
Have you ever seen how professionally butchers cut large pieces of meat? With a cleaver, you can experience that same precision in your kitchen. Whether thick chops, ribs, or whole chickens – this specialized tool makes even the toughest tasks easy.
Cleavers are specifically designed to powerfully cut through meat and bones. Their wide, rectangular blade made of robust steel ensures that you can cut through bones and cartilage with a single stroke. But they are not just specialized for meat: hard vegetables like squash or coconuts can also be effortlessly chopped.
The massive construction of these knives offers you stability and safety. With their heavy weight, they generate enough momentum for powerful cuts – ideal for big challenges in the kitchen. And did you know? The hole in the blade is not only for hanging but also improves balance while working.
Whether you are a hobby cook or simply enjoy tackling big tasks – a cleaver is indispensable for any kitchen. Check out our selection of high-quality models and find the perfect tool for your needs!
Frequently Asked Questions About Cleavers
What is a cleaver used for?
A cleaver is used to cut through meat, bones, and tough foods like squash or coconuts. It is also excellent for chopping herbs or crushing garlic.
What do you cut with a cleaver?
With a cleaver, you can cut pieces of meat, bones, cartilage, and hard vegetables like cabbage or squash. It is ideal for rough tasks where regular knives are overwhelmed.
Why do cleavers have a hole in the blade?
The hole in a cleaver's blade is for hanging the knife and reducing weight. It also improves balance and makes handling easier during powerful cutting tasks.
What is the difference between a cleaver and a butcher's axe?
A cleaver is smaller and more versatile than a butcher's axe. While the butcher's axe is mainly used for splitting large bones, the cleaver is also suitable for finer tasks like chopping vegetables.
How do you properly care for a cleaver?
A cleaver should be thoroughly cleaned and dried after each use. Store it safely in a knife block or with a blade guard to prevent damage. Regular sharpening keeps the blade ready for use.
Can you use a cleaver for vegetables?
Yes, a cleaver can also be used for vegetables, especially hard varieties like squash or cabbage. It is excellent for coarse chopping and dicing.
What is the ideal angle for sharpening a cleaver?
The ideal sharpening angle for a cleaver is about 20 to 25 degrees. This angle provides a robust edge that withstands the stresses of cutting through bones and meat.
Is a cleaver sharp?
A cleaver is sharp enough to cut effectively but not as finely honed as other kitchen knives. The robust edge is designed for stability to cut through hard materials like bones.
