In what menu's where a "turning knife" is usually used?

Answer 1

Any recipe where a reounded fruit or vegetable needs to be peeled or shaped.

Also called a bird's beak knife

Answer 2

Well a turning knife is mainly used to shape potatoes into chateau potatoes, so they look barrel shaped.

Answer 3

I am a former chef and both are right, I have several ones and they range from 2 1/2" to 4" long, the curved one is better for smaller piece to be turned for soups or stewed item, I like a larger on for potato's.

I even was taught by a Japanese friend how to turn mushroom caps for fancy dishes, it is easy to learn and a fun thing to practice at home or use for a special dinner party or intimate dinner for 2.
