Choosing the Proper Tool

Choosing the proper tool for the job is key for all endeavors. That said, sometimes, when dealing with food, your standard cooking utensils and array of sharp knives may not offer the horsepower required for a job. On rare occasions, you may be forced to drag construction tools into the kitchen as part of the culinary process.

When Desiree mentioned she needed to cut some whole frozen fish she’d retrieved from one freezer into sections so she could store them in a smaller freezer, I instantly recognized the required tool: my hacksaw

The saw performed well and provided quick, clean cuts. But I already had in mind applying my corded reciprocating saw to the fish if the hacksaw failed.
