Electric Carving Knife

[LissaC]

I have two - the 1960s model and the newer 1990s model. Love them and use them for standing rib roasts, hams and other large cuts of meat.View attachment 51709

Maybe yours is similar to mine (really, I think most follow this basic concept):

Blades Snap Into Motor

You have to make sure both blades snap into place in the motor, and it does sound like a hedge trimmer when it's running. To get the blade back off, you just squeeze the two metal tabs together and pull.

A lot of BBQ joints in Texas use them to slice brisket. My parents always had one. I never liked using it.

I use one mostly on family Sunday's, usually lot of meat to be cut. Also when I make club Sammies for trimming crusts off. I have 3 or more other carving knives. And a large steel.

They come with a fork now, as my pic illustrates on the previous page.

Glad I could help .. I can interchange the blades between the two models that I have which is somewhat surprising to me...

My parents had one for a few years, and stopped using it after the second or third.

Something, frankly, I have no desire to own. Maybe they 're better now, but I don't feel I need to own one.

I have one that was handed down. I've never used it. My arthritis is spreading to my wrists and hands so I might have to pull it out at some point.

Just don't spread butter with it.

I know I'm stereotyping but please forgive me. It is SO hard to imagine you working in the tech field. You have a great sense of humor. ;-)

Who on earth would want to do that?

I think it was a joke...

Cuisinart has discontinued their Cordless Electric Knives. Makes me wonder.

I wouldn't wonder at all, beyond "We're not selling enough of these." I'm sure it came down to money. Always does.

I'm actually surprised anyone still makes them. I definitely associate them with 1950's-1960's "kitchen marvels" that have fallen out of fashion.

Like fashion, they will come back around "new and improved" at some point.
