Slicing knives can be used for a multitude of purposes, but are
designed to slice items, such as cooked meats. The slicer should be
longer than the product to be sliced, for proper control and precise
portioning. Serrated knives, or scalloped-edge knives are also known as
"Bread Knives" because they function perfectly for slicing bread, which
requires a back and forth sawing motion. Yet, beyond breads, they can
also perform well when used for slicing tomatoes or peaches or other
fruits that have a skin that easily bruises. Serrated knives are
designed to keep the slicing edge of the blade from coming in contact
with the cutting board surface. A serrated knife should be
professionally sharpened and should never be used on a sharpening steel. |
