“You need just 3 knives. That said, I have 300 knives in my house.”
He’s just my kind of chef. Love his videos.
“Don’t pay much money for a paring knife, you tend to lose it.”
...ahh wise words for every new line/prep cook.
Well, he's using a Wüsthof Classic Ikon 4086. I have that knife as well and it costs about 50-60 Euros.
I'd say it's worth the money, though.
He's an excellent teacher, highly skilled chef, and a nice man.
He is a true Master, with every possible positive nuance of the term. I am absolutely in awe. And love. :)
Handsome as well
"That being said I have probably 300 knives at my house" - ah, lovely Jacques Pepin...
Alexandru EPURAN thak goodness he's not in uk
Chef's knives are some of the most satisfying things to collect.
Such a lovely, funny man! :)
It's about the journey, not the destination.
Same thing happens with guitars!! :)
As a culinary teacher for middle school, I've tried to teach my students how to use "the claw" so they don't cut themselves. Now I can just have Jacques Pepin do it. I'm sure they'll listen to him. Splendid!
I love his teaching. Clear, professional, pleasant. The French accent makes it all the more authentic!
The peeling tip just saved me 50% time. Never thought of that!
This is by far the best explanation on this subject I have ever heard. What a humble genius.
He's using knives from the Wüsthof Classic Ikon line, for those who'd like to know.
Nobody cares.

@@jdd8826 You're welcome.
The Zwilling Pro line is just as good, but a bit less expensive and has a curved bolster, which makes it perfect for the blade grip. If you're looking for a professional chef's knife, I recommend checking out both: the Wüsthof Classic Ikon Chef Knife 1040330120 and the Zwilling Pro Chef Knife 38401-201-0.
@@BrokenCurtain thanks!
I’m just getting started with home cooking-thank you Covid lockdown- and I’ve watched dozens of knife cutting videos from world-renowned chefs…
but this is the first one that actually allowed me to significantly improve my knife cutting skills! This man is such a great teacher!
Wer ist von pietsmiet hier?
Wie kannst du so vas sagen?
Watched his series on daytime TV about 15/20 years ago. Still the best Chef I've seen!
Bless you Chef Pepin!!! Many years ago my husband bought me a lovely set of Wusthof knives. Over the years, I have cut myself. Now I can use them without bloodletting concerns. 😊
Jacques Pépin, the safest man in the world with a knife.
Hugo Desrosiers-Plaisance what about Marco chopping garlic jaja
PIETSMIET ARMY
The God of cooking. Take a bow Sir
What a gift he is to the world. I am so glad he is still with us
perhaps the best knife handling advice you should pay attention to...God bless that man!
you need 3 knifes, that being said i probably have 300 knifes
Jacques is the Master.
You are a culinary genius. Thank you for many pleasant memories watching you on TV for many years with my parents. Find memories. As to your cutting - many hours of practice and a good amount of talent.
I beg to differ Sir. You ARE a genius.
This man is a national treasure.
Sir, I don’t think I would ever have loved cooking some much if it were not for how much I have learned from YOU.
Awww man, I remember watching St. Jaques and Master Yan everyday after school. *gets misty*
Many love Julia. Can't blame them. Sh brought a lot of good cooking to the masses in an era of TV dinners being popular.
But for my money, Jacques is the master!!
Thank you master, I've always enjoyed watching you work.
Whenever I'm asked who's my favorite chef my answer is always Jacques Pépin. A true legend
Same here. Jacques is truly a legend who makes cooking easy and fun. I remember watching him and Julia Child on PBS every weekend as a little kid. I learn so much when I watch him or Julia Child. They are my two favorite chefs
WOW! Great information! I love watching him use a knife, cook and all! Thank you so much for sharing this.
I can always learn something from a real professional. That's why I clicked on this. I've been cutting, slicing and chopping for 60 years. My father taught me but he didn't teach me to peel. Mr. Pépin just did.
Pepin: *Starts waving hand and knife around*
Me: *Anxiety Intensifies*
Fantastic demonstration from a Master. Merci !
love watching him
the simplicity yet genius of techniques like these never fails to impress me.
Awesome to hear you. Thank you
Excellent! A true master, you have inspired several generations. God bless you for all!
Nice.
Short, very good information and to the point.
Too many YT instructors drone on for 15 minutes.
I would love to see a long video of Chef discussing/ reviewing all 300 of his knives! I am interested in buying a few really great knives. Seeing what knives he has and his critique of each one would be amazing!
Very informational video. Thank you. I just showed my class this video!
Cheers, great teacher 🙏👍
JP: "You don't have to pay much for a paring knife. You tend to lose it."
Me: ...Hmm. True.
JP: "You only need these 3 knives. That being said, I have about 300 knives at home."
Me: Are the other 297 lost paring knives?
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thank you so much Jacques . you are the best.
Gotta love Jacques.
excellent video, chef
Gosh I just love watching his cooking show. French food, délicieux!
No, YOU are a genius Jacques Pepin
You skill is amazing and you a genius at.being.a.great human being.
I love this man.
Nobody has better knife skills than Jacques.
Maurice Chevalier in the kitchen! Love you!
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I made a chicken Ballantine tonight, had to refresh my memory on cutting it and while watching Jacques I said, he’s a genius. It came out perfect, man is a genius.
We LOVE you and Julia Child on the twitch Food Channel. your know how and can do attitude is awesome.
King KarlySama I just hope you stay away from any of the live streams with carrots
Shut up?
This guy deserves to be paid attention to...be wise and listen!
My grandma use to watch him on PBS I use to love when he would cook with his daughter and be yelling at her lol
That flower vase is the most beautiful thing ever.
Great vid
Thank you. :)
Good video. I find prep work kind of calming / meditative at this point.
Same here. A quick story. A few months ago I had a car accident. We don’t know exactly what caused it. About a month or two after, I was having some anxiety. Lately I’ve been watching Jacques Pépin, and watching him really takes a lot of my anxiety away.
Good knife skill ty
That is amazing
Very, good video!
As a Chinese Cantonese man, we have a traditional knife called the Cleaver. One of my favorites. Very versatile and convient for scooping up the chopped veggies after prepping. Everyone should at least get one of those.
Honestly best guy!
You are a master...I am glad I got to know you and your videos though French Guy Cooking....you inspire me! Think you so much
A true Grandmaster Chef!
I learned how to peal properly while watching Chef Pépin and Claudine in the mid 90's on PBS
What will we do when we have Jacques no more??!??may God bless that man...
"Knife for me are the extension of my finger."
Guys, it's Freddy Kreuger in disguise.
Alan Smithee That would be Wolverine.
Foodie Krueger
I chuckle everytime I watch Jacques slice mushrooms... Jacques Rocks!
Genius!!
OMG I did that with my thumb @ 1:22 cutting celery. Lesson learned :D
“Im not a genius” ... yeah okay, whatever man.
Right!? Lol.
Came here to say this. Beaten by a fellow chef in training... a year earlier!
ikr
Exactly
So much 'substance', politeness and consideration in your comment... Truly, I guess you have no idea who Mr. Pepin is in the culinary world...Too bad
Jacques is an international treasure. The best.
Oui! vive la France!
"The way I move my hand will control the knife." "Don't pay too much money on paring knife you tend to lose it. Just a cheap paring knife." "Only need 3 knives." "Proper knife technique is essential. I'm not a genius man. You don't have to." Gotta listen to the wise and stop playing by the books.
Great tips for home cooks.Thank you Master Jacques!!
And a serrated bread knife.
Craig H in his other videos he doesn’t seem to use them. He has a technique of just using his kitchen knife
You don't need a serrated knife if your other knives are sharp enough
If you are cutting a lot of bread it is probbably easier to have a serated knife than keep sharpening your other knives
Love my jacques!!!!!
I love the comments on the cooking/etc vids. People hit with sarcasm harder than with a cast iron pan
After scrolling through a bunch of useless 20min videos, i finally found this gold
The Man!
Please do a video on your famous "rocking technique ".
He's not a genius. But he's an expert in his craft. The best!!
You need 300 knives, that being said, I only have 3.
😂😂

I learned about tucking the thumb a little too late, and I have a very deep scar to show for it.
Same here. Knife went right through my thumb nail, and quite deep in the flesh several years ago. Will never make that mistake again.
LLLLiterally LOL'd quite loudly at the 300 knives part. Also glad to hear that I dont have "problem" hoarding knives...
I wish more people would learn that a dull knife is a dangerous knife!
Learning from A " PRO" !!!!!!😃😃!!!!!!😄😄😄!!!!!!!
Thanks sir ❤
I can count by the fingers in both hands the amount of times I made a mistake whilst chopping and that number keeps going down every time so I must be getting better at it.
Thank you sir, for waking me up 😷
He mentioned something about the Phantom Of the Opera? Ah oui! Enchanté!
No he mentioned "the little rats of the Opera" beeing the young opera or ballet dancers learners
Gotta love a real French accent.
If you actually watch his shows or his interviews you would know, he apologizes, often, for his Connecticut accent!
I love this man. I have a couple of his books: The Apprentice, Essentials (which comes with a techniques DVD-priceless!)
GENIUS YES U ARE LOL
I always find peeling before cutting off the ends is easier since I don't have to peel right to end or start right at the beginning, I will cut off both ends after peeling anyways.
Wusthof Ikon commercial. :)
I don’t know. I think he’s a genius.
I would love to know the MAKE of those 2 large knives?
Read the comments.
His voice is ASMR
I have a butter knife. Does that count?
