How many times have you tried to cut an onion and found yourself struggling against the ineffective feeble edge of a dull knife? The truth is, no matter how much you spend on a knife, it is worthless in the kitchen unless it has a well-honed blade.
DurationHow many times have you tried to cut an onion and found yourself struggling against the ineffective feeble edge of a dull knife? The truth is, no matter how much you spend on a knife, it is worthless in the kitchen unless it has a well-honed blade.
Darin Gagner, owner of Valley Sharp Knife Sharpening has spent decades keeping his own blades razor sharp, so join him in class to learn how to best keep your own knives ready for action. Darin will guide you through sharpening, maintenance, using whetstones, honing your blades, deburring, apexing, and more.
You can bring your own knife to class or practice with ours and take your new skills home. Either way, you’ll learn why a sharp knife is truly a cook’s best friend.

Here at the Pantry, we call ourselves a community kitchen. For us, that means we do many things: cooking classes focusing on traditional food crafts and technique, five-course family-style dinners, culinary camp for the kids, power lunches for makers, food swaps, and cookbook club potluck suppers.
Basically anything we can think of to get our neighbors around the table, breaking bread and building community.
These are so important! Good knife skills can make your life in the kitchen so much easier! We will learn how to effectively dice, mince and julienne. Other cuts are also available, depending on the client’s skill level. A few simple recipes will be made with the ingredients we practice upon.
Everything you ever need to know about choosing, storing, sharpening, holding, and using the most important tool in the kitchen. We will have 8-inch chef's knives for you to practice on, but you are also welcome to bring your own knife.
Having good knife skills is such an important part of being a good cook. Join us as we teach you the ins & outs of proper knife skills to become more efficient in your kitchen.
