Using Your Electric Knife Outside the Holidays

Does your electric knife only come out during the holidays? Meanwhile the rest of the year, it’s just taking up space in a cabinet or drawer, collecting dust. You have to have it, because otherwise you end up butchering the beautiful turkey you slaved to make for Thanksgiving dinner; but it’s a bit frustrating that an appliance you have to have only gets used as often as you holiday flatware and decorations.

If you want to get a little more use for your electric knife outside the few holidays where it makes an appearance, try slicing up all your favorite bakery and Artisan breads for breakfast, brunch, lunch or any snack time. Most people just use their regular manual bread knife, but it can be a pain to get even slices from top to bottom, side to side, and one slice to the next. Your electric knife makes it easy, because it cuts through even thick breads with the ease of cutting a sheet of paper.

You can make your kitchen your family’s favorite café and sandwich shop this year with freshly-sliced breads and deli sandwiches. With your favorite sliced deli meats and cheeses, a fresh loaf of Artisan bread and your electric knife, you can slice up the ultimate sandwich bread in seconds. It’s better than any pre-sliced loaves you can buy from the grocery aisle and you get those great café-style sandwiches without paying café prices.

You can also do bakery breads for breakfast, too. Instead of your usual boring toast in the morning, you can buy specialty breakfast loaves like oatmeal and cinnamon raisin fresh from your local bakery, then slice up your own toast with your electric knife. This way, you get bakery-quality taste, sliced to your own perfect thickness with ease thanks to your electric knife.

Of course, if you want an even fresher home-baked taste in the breads your family loves, your electric knife and a countertop bread maker are a perfect match. You can bake all your favorite breads fresh and even do regular white and whole wheat breads for sandwiches, then slice the loaf perfectly with your electric knife.
