Description
The Chinese cleaver is a family of tools, not a single implement — and choosing the wrong cleaver for the task is as consequential as using the wrong knife in any tradition. Three distinct types serve entirely different purposes, and a professional Chinese kitchen maintains all three. Understanding the family structure allows the cook to invest in the correct tool and use it with precision rather than using a single heavy cleaver for every task.
