Turkey-Carving Tools For Thanksgiving
A carving set(01 of 04)
This two-piece Messertmeister set includes an 8-inch carving knife and a 7-inch fork to give you the control you need to make long, smooth slices. (credit: Amazon)
A budget-friendly slicing knife(02 of 04)
This Mercer knife features an 11-inch blade and can be used for any type of meat that you want to slice all year long. (credit: Amazon)
A sharpening whetstone(03 of 04)
Whetstones (also known as sharpening stones or water stones) are the preferred tool for sharpening knives because they give you, the cook, complete control. Sharpening stones are basically long, rectangular blocks of composite stone, typically with a coarse grit on one side and a fine grit on the other side. Read our guide to learn how to use one. (credit: Amazon)
A honing steel(04 of 04)
Most people confuse a honing steel with a sharpener. It’s a ridged metal wand that you run your knife across (you’ve probably seen flashy cooking show contestants dramatically swiping them through the air like swashbucklers with swords.) While a honing steel does help a knife slice better, it doesn’t actually sharpen the blade. Rather, it re-aligns the microscopic teeth on your knife's blades that get out of alignment through daily use, making your knife feel sharper. It's an everyday must-have! (credit: Amazon)
