Hands and knives.<br /><br />Question: What utensils do you always have on hand? <br />Jacques Pepin: Most important tool are your hands without any question. And then after you need a knife; you need a knife to board to shuck on; you need a _____, and that's basically what you need. That being said of course, I have about 150 knives at my house; but you need basically three knives -- a chopping knife; and then a utility knife, about seven inch; and a paring knife, you know? So . . . And preferably sharp one, too. <br /> <br />Recorded on: 09/04/2007 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /><br />Question: What utensils do you always have on hand? <br />Jacques Pepin: Most important tool are your hands without any question.
