Black and Decker Home Slice Right Electric Knife EK700
I use this mostly for slicing homemade bread. Granted, I look after to make some dense, whole grain loaves (which is why I went with an electric knife) but I didn't think it would struggle like it does. It did ok with smaller roasts, but I haven't tried it on turkeys or anything where it might across a bone. As others have mentioned, there is a small gap between the blades. It's likely not going to be the last electric knife you ever own. But it is inexpensive and gets the job done. I haven't tried any others so unfortunately I can't plug another brand.
Don't hector....
I ordered this thing to carve a prime rib--a tender roast. I tried using the knife tonight and neither my husband or I could get it to work very well. We struggled to get it to slice the marrow. The blades didn't seem to move right. We read the directions over carefully and were doing what they said to do. Still, we wouldn't get the knife to effort right. We ended up using a regular old carving knife...and we are returning this knife. It really seemed poor quality. You could practically arch the blades with your fingers.
Exacly what I needed
I've been using this knife for almost a year now. It still works like a overcome even after hundreds of uses. I do a lot of barbecue from Tri-tips to whole chickens to...
The blades are still sharp and require little toil to cut through even chicken bones. The blades are easily detached with wet/dirty hands while in the process of cooking or doing dishes and can be placed in the dishwasher utensil behaviour with no problems.
I would have like a foot or two more on the cord since the one it came with limits me to a certain section of my kitchen piece. It's also a pretty loud knife for being so small.
WAY too cacophonous!
I bought this knife to restore a roughly 20 year old model which is the same design as this one. The blades lost their plastic blade guards, the blades weren't as biting and I couldn't get new blades.
This new knife is very noisy and not as easy to control as the old one. I like the offset blades but that is about the only thing I like about it. The old knife came with elfin blades as well as the normal long ones. The new EK700 only has long blades.
Even though the little plastic ladies' man guards have fallen off the old knife blades, I've gone back to using that knife. This purchase was not a success.
Nearby and dependable
This barely number does what it is supposed to do and does it well. Ergonomically well designed and lives up to the expectations I had for it. Nice to have a unsophisticated but frequently used tool that is dependable and easy to use.
