the Purpose of Toothpaste on Kitchen Knives!!!

Start with that sorry excuse for a knife you’ve got. Apply a generous dab of toothpaste to both sides of the blade. Yep, toothpaste is about to become your kitchen’s secret weapon.

Grab a paper towel and start rubbing the toothpaste onto the knife. This is where the magic begins as the toothpaste acts as a mild abrasive, helping to sharpen those edges.

Now, turn your bowl upside down and sprinkle a teaspoon of salt and a teaspoon of white vinegar on its rim. This is where the chemical reaction for sharpening kicks in. It’s like a mini science experiment right in your kitchen!

Hold the knife at a sharpening angle of around 20 degrees on the edge, and repeat the process for both sides. Trust me; it’s easier than it sounds.

Once you’ve worked your magic, rinse the knife in clean water using a dishwashing brush. Voila! You’ve just transformed a dull blade into a sharp, slicing masterpiece.

Now, go ahead and thank me later for this kitchen hack. It’s a total game-changer, especially for those of us who want to spend more time enjoying our meals than struggling with dull knives.
