A tourné (bird's beak) knife can be good for more than just tormenting culinary students. It's perfect for peeling, hulling, and precision cuts.
is a paring knife with a short, curved blade. They’re also referred to as"bird’s beak" knives, but a more appropriate name might be. You see, the primary function of this demonic blade is to"turn" a vegetable into a two-inch-long, seven-sided football. Members of the fine-dining occult believe this shape holds the power to cook more evenly because it rotates better in a pan.
I first tournéed in culinary school, when the chef challenged us to make one perfect hepta-potato in order to get a passing grade for the day. Every student failed, potato scraps covered the floor, and I immediately condemned my tourné knife back to hell.We met again a year later, when I staged at a restaurant that some say is the best in the world. A is a stint of unpaid work to see if you’ve got the chops for a culinary job—or, in my case, an unpaid internship.
Just when I thought the knife was done haunting me, one seemed to have snuck into my cutlery drawer at home. My husband is a tourné acolyte, and he was hell-bent on converting me. At first, I couldn’t have been more resistant, and went so far as to refuse to eat anything prepped with the satanic shiv. But eventually, his persistence wore me down.
