GOYON-CHAZEAU bread knives are designed to slice with unrivalled precision. They combine forged steel, double full grinding and a serrated blade to guarantee perfect slices every time.
Bread knives has a special place in kitchen cutlery.
Firstly, because it is one of the rare knives to have a serrated blade (tomato and steak knives also have one).
Secondly, because it is mainly used for cutting already-cooked food, and less for preparing food. It’s the “paring knife of the bakery-pastry shop”!
It has to make beautiful slices of baguette with a crisp crust, to separate a sponge cake in two so that it can be filled, to cut the crumb of a brioche without reducing it to mush…
It’s an accessory that is often left on the table, close to the bread basket, and used every day once you’ve tried its effectiveness.
Find out all our tips and advice on how to get the most out of this essential accessory.
As its name suggests, it is of course used for cutting bread.
Its serrated blade makes it easy to slice through the crusts, from the thinnest to the thickest, from the softest to the hardest, without crushing the crumb and keeping crumbs to a minimum.
It is also very effective for slicing pastries, brioche or sponge cake without crumbling them, or for cutting pizzas and bruschettas, which often give other types of knife a hard time.
It can also be used to cut cucurbits (squash, melons, watermelons, etc.) or other fruits and vegetables with thick, hard skins, such as pineapples, thanks to the thickness of its blade combined with its sharp serration.
A bread knife has a long, serrated blade with high and wide teeth with rounded notches.
It is available in kitchen cutlery and table cutlery.
In kitchen cutlery, the bread knife is large, with a blade of over 20cm.
It slices all types of bread efficiently, from baguettes and farmhouse bread to cakes and pastries and fruits and vegetables listed above.
The table cutlery bread knife is lighter.
It also has a blade of around twenty centimetres but less wide and with a smaller handle. It cuts baguettes and long loaves efficiently and elegantly, but is less effective for other tasks.
To choose the right bread knife, don’t rely solely on style and price.
If you’re looking for efficiency, check the usual cutlery criteria too:
