Let The Knife do The Work

One chef stepped in with a useful bit of advice that often goes overlooked: when cutting, it's the knife that should be doing most of the work, not you. 

"A knife is not a wedge. It's a knife. If you're pushing down to split your food in half, you're doing it wrong.... if your knife is sharp enough, dragging the blade's length across whatever you want to cut should be plenty to get through it. The weight of the blade is all you need."
