The white vinegar helps reduce rust on the knife’s surface, while the edible salt increases friction, aiding in the sharpening process.
After the five minutes are up, take the knife and hold the porcelain bowl with one hand. Rub the knife from top to bottom, ensuring the center of gravity remains in the same direction without excessive back-and-forth movement. Repeat this process on the other side of the blade for a similar amount of time.
Sharpen the scissors in the same manner. Don’t worry about the blade breaking – the toothpaste acts as a protective barrier.
Finally, rinse the sharpened knife under the faucet to wash away the toothpaste and any debris. You’ll notice that any rust on the blade has vanished, leaving it extremely sharp and clean.
Congratulations! You’ve successfully sharpened your knife. Now, you can effortlessly slice through meat and other ingredients. The same goes for your scissors – they’re now ready to tackle any cutting task.
By following these simple steps, you can keep your kitchen knife and scissors sharp without the need for a sharpening stone. So, why not give it a try? You’ll be amazed at the positive effect toothpaste can have on your kitchen tools.
Remember, a sharp knife is not only more effective but also safer to use in the kitchen. Happy cooking
