TOOLS
Making a sandwich is half the fun — obviously the main event is eating it! It’s also easy. All you need are a few key tools:
These will help you out too:
PLATE AND KNIFE
Whether you’re slicing bread, vegetables, or other ingredients, knife safety is a key component of cooking — and one of the first steps in becoming a sandwich-making superstar.
Start with adult supervision. If you’ve never used a sharp knife before, it’s good to have a grownup around to help you.
Make sure you’re at the right height. The countertop or cutting surface should be about waist-high. That way you can see what you’re cutting. (Grab a stool if you need a boost!)
Get a good cutting surface. Using a clean cutting board is best for chopping, slicing, and dicing.
Make sure you’re using a sharp knife. Dull knives are actually more dangerous because you have to apply more pressure in order to cut.
Hold your knife correctly. Use your dominant hand to grip the handle of the knife, keeping your fingers behind the bolster. (That’s the thick part of the knife between the handle and the blade.) This is called a handle grip. Once you’re more experienced, you can try the blade grip — gripping the knife with your thumb and index finger in front of the bolster.
Keep your other fingers out of the way. Make sure the hand holding whatever you’re cutting is far enough back from the blade of the knife. Try folding the tips of your fingers under, so your knuckles are bent and facing out, on your non-moving hand.
CHEF’S KNIFE
This multipurpose knife comes in several different sizes and is good for a variety of kitchen-related jobs, including slicing and chopping vegetables, meat, and other ingredients.
BREAD KNIFE
A longer, thinner knife with a serrated blade. The teeth on the blade make slicing through bread without squishing or tearing easy. Serrated knives are also good for slicing tomatoes.

PB&J
(Peanut Butter & Jelly)
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches — more commonly known as PB&Js — are a sandwich staple around the country. Chances are good that you’ve eaten at least a few in your lifetime. And while a PB&J might sound basic, it’s anything but. The sweet jelly combined with the sticky, savory peanut butter make this classic sandwich practically irresistible.
THE HISTORY OF THE PB&J
PB&J sandwiches may be a lunchbox staple in schools across the country, but that wasn’t always the case. In fact, peanut butter used to be considered a delicacy. In the early 1900s it was served at upscale parties and fancy tearooms in New York. (Think peanut-butter-and-pimento and peanut-butter-with-watercress sandwiches.)
It wasn’t until 1920 that the price of peanut butter dropped, and it became available to the masses, in part because sugar was added to the mix. Then, in the late 1920s, Gustav Papendick invented
