Using your Holstead Tools

A quick guide to the blades, board helpers, and silicone surface.

Sharp blade

Best for firmer foods and cleaner cuts. Use when the cook is ready for a sharper edge and the support level fits.

Safety blade

Best for soft foods, first cuts, and confidence-building. It is safer than a sharp blade, but still needs attention and support.

Ruler edge

Use the ruler for quick spacing when even strips, coins, or pieces matter.

Size-guide circles

Check a piece against the circles when you want a quick visual size cue.

Minced
1/8"
Diced
3/8"
Chopped
1/2"

Silicone surface

Optional microplastic-free cutting surface. It can also bend into a transfer funnel: lift it, hold it like a taco shell, and pour pieces into a bowl, pot, or pan.

Food-safety habit: after raw meat, poultry, or fish, wash the board, silicone mat, and knife with hot, soapy water. Cook to the safe temperatures noted in each recipe.
