Usually I like to make a few big batches of soup for the restaurant. Chowders, hearty veg ect
 
onions, potatoes, carrots, peppers.. so soups, stews, salads
 
Anything with mirepoix, chiffonade on herbs, garlic shaved like Paulie's, root vegetables and raw proteins. Then I like to see how they carve.
 
tomato beef stew for me. you can do tomato test first. then, mince herbs + cut many hard root vegetables and raw proteins!
 
Fruit salad...lots of different textures and contrasts between the skin + the interior....plus my wife loves fruit salad, so bonus! All the acids/sugars help with understanding your new carbon too.

Was thinking this too.
 
Soups mostly, salads second. I like testing knives out on really big jicama too. It is like an apple with some potato stickiness to it.

And K, it tastes awesome....


I usually do a stir-fry, with lots of onions and peppers and ginger. Then I'll hit the potatoes and other harder veg. Then I take it to work and just use the crap out of it
 
Put my Hiro AS 270 to work on a pot of chili today. It sliced, it diced, it crushed, it minced - damn this is a nice knife!!
