The “cold platter” or “Brettljausn” is universally beloved, whether as an appetizer or on the mountain pasture. The paring knife, with its pointed blade, is the perfect combination of a chef’s knife and a paring knife. It’s big enough to handle everything but still compact and manageable for those times you don’t want to use a larger knife while snacking. Moreover, it is perfectly suited for larding and slicing meat or for filleting smaller fish.

What are the characteristics of a paring knife?
It is not easy for amateur chefs to characterise a paring knife. To make matters worse, a paring knife is basically available in different variants. Nevertheless, you can recognise from some features that this TYROLIT knife is a typical paring knife.The size of the TYROLIT knife is particularly revealing. A paring knife does not usually exceed 10 cm in length. This is the case here. In addition, it has a narrow blade that is quite short and straight, with a slight curve at the back of the blade and a bend at the cutting edge. The lines finally converge in a point at the front.
How the paring knife got its characteristic name
It is no coincidence that the paring knife bears this name. Larding meat has a long culinary tradition and is used to add a particularly tasty seasoning to meat specialities. This process can also be found in cookbooks under the French terms lardieren or bigarrieren for refinement techniques. The latter involves incorporating a savoury ingredient such as truffles or herbs into the food. With larding, you can add bacon strips to the meat to create an expressive seasoning. One beneficial side effect of larding or stuffing is that the meat becomes moist and stays pliable. It doesn't matter what type of meat you are larding. Whether beef, game, poultry or lamb, there are no limits to your imagination.To lard the meat, score it at even intervals with the tip of your TYROLIT larding knife. Carefully insert the flavouring food into the channels created. Depending on your taste, you can either leave it at the seasoning created or season your meat all over as you wish. With your new TYROLIT larding knife, simply try out the different preparation options.
