Jennifer Garner is practically an amateur chef, thanks to her social media series Pretend Cooking Show where she’s cooked everything from homemade pizza to peach chiffon pie. Still, that didn’t stop her from seeking advice from her good friend, the one and only Ina Garten

Garten recently shared a video on her personal Instagram page, where she taught the audience how to carve a roasted chicken. (Take notes, people.) The caption read, “Roasting a chicken is pretty easy but carving it takes a little practice. And speaking of easy, I have a trick for slicing the breast that keeps it moist. Here’s how I do it!”

The post garnered attention from fans and celebrities—including Garner, who said what we were all thinking in the comments section. The Alias star wrote, “How often do you sharpen your knives, Ina? Also I miss you, I’m calling you today!”

Garten responded, “@jennifer.garner NOT ENOUGH!! I use the Chef'sChoice Pro electric knife sharpener, which ensures the angle of the blade is right. Love you!!!” 

Of course, followers loved the sweet exchange between Garten and Garner. One person wrote, “imagine being able to just call the queen Ina? Imagine being Queen Ina and receiving a call from Queen Jennifer???? Wow.” Another added, “I keep wanting to call her and ask what color nail polish she uses.”

Garten was referring to the Chef'sChoice Professional Electric Knife Sharpener, which usually retails for $180 but it's currently on sale for $138 at Amazon.

The product has a 3-Stage EdgeSelect sharpening system that ensures accurate control of the sharpening angle. It uses 100-percent diamond abrasives to sharpen the edges of all kinds of knives, including straight and serrated blades.
