The ability to quickly sharpen your cutting board skills can be achieved by using the Pinch Grip, a technique developed by Julia Child, who demonstrated this technique in a video on the Julia Child on PBS YouTube channel. The technique involves a pinch grip, which is now being taught in culinary schools as the best grip for control and balance, while preventing cramping from too much chopping. The next step towards complete cutting board mastery is learning the difference between different types of cuts and when they should be applied. The video was taken from the third episode of Julia Child's seminal cooking show "The French Chef".
