Keeping yourself sane in the kitchen is really large part of the battle. Most people think that the recipe is the most important but I am here to tell you it isn't. So if this is the case, what exactly do you need to do to keep things flowing in the kitchen?
Before I get in to the details of it, you should know that organization is one of the keys to staying sane. You should keep your working spaces free from junk and clutter. In this same respect you should prepare as much as you can in advance. This means when you actually have to start cooking that you aren't scrambling around trying to get the carrots cut, that you forgot about, while the frying pan is burning your garlic.
Chef Knife
Another important thing to keeping sane is to prevent accidents. The number one accident in the kitchen is by someone cutting themselves with a knife. And out of those incidents, the number one reason for the cuts is a dull blade. You see, when you are using a dull knife you are more likely to use more force. This causes you to put more focus on pressure than it does on safety. So it is no wonder that a knife always seem to slip and cut you.
The last thing I wanted to tell you about is about keeping food fresh. One thing that can drive not only the chef insane, but the guests too, is spoiled or nearly rotten food. When you are have an organized area, a sharp knife, and fresh ingredients, cooking is extremely easy. If you should skip out on any of those then you are looking for trouble.
I hope these simple lessons in keeping sane helps you prepare and create wonderful food dishes for you and your guests to enjoy.

Christmas Sales Shun DM0706 Classic 8-Inch Chef's Knife Overview
Made from VG-10 stainless steel, Shun knives are specially constructed to be harder, less brittle, but also more flexible than traditional steel formulations. The VG-10 core is then clad with 16 full layers of SUS410 high-carbon stainless steel on each side, for a total of 33 layers. These layers not only protect the VG-10, they create an exquisitely-detailed surface reminiscent of Damascus or pattern-forged steel, the kind once used for Samurai swords. As a result, the knives are simply stunning to look at--much like antique Damascus knives but without their tendency to rust. As an additional benefit, the slight patterning helps slice rather than crush delicate foods and keeps cut food from sticking to the blade. The large 8-inch blade of this Shun chef's knife makes it ideal for versatile slicing, chopping, dicing, and more. Like many Asian-style knives, the knife's handle is especially suited to smaller users. In contrast to the traditional round profile, however, Shun's are D-shaped to prevent the knife from twisting in the hand, providing extra stability and a firm grip. The handle is made from ebony-colored PakkaWood, a fused blend of hardwood veneers imbued with waterproof resin that combines the warmth and traditional look and feel of wood with the strength and durability of plastic. The offset stainless steel bolster is designed for ergonomic comfort and maximum safety, while a stainless-steel end cap provides the finishing touch. As sturdy as it is lovely, the chef's knife is officially safe to put in the dishwasher--although it's so good-looking you might find yourself hard-pressed to do so. Shun knives carry a limited lifetime warranty. --Mary Park
