can you use a sharp knife to cut with or will it harm the bottom

It will scratch the bottom - I don't think you can cut through and you will still be able to use the pan. It doesn't have a non-stick finish like teflon that you can chip off.

I think it will harm the bottom. I would not recommend using a sharp knife on this pan. Unless you don't care if it gets scratched. I don't think it would effect the quality of the pan if it was to get scratched accidently. WOULD NOT ADVISE USING A SHARP KNIFE ON THIS PAN.

I use sharp knives on them all of the time. It scratches them, but they (I have four) have held up for at least four years.

I used parchment paper on the bottom so all I had to do was loosen the sides of the cake. I loosened the sides gently with a non-serrated knife gently and doing that did not scratch the sides of the pan.

You'll definitely scratch the pan. Anodized aluminum is harder than regular aluminum, but not as hard as steel. In general, you should treat it the same way as a non-stick pan (i.e. use rubber or plastic utensils when possible).

I used a very sharp pocket knife , I also used a box cutter with a plain razor blade and they both worked well !! Hope this helps

Hello. We wash all such items at this bagel cutter (and all our good knives) by hand ourselves to make sure there is no food material left in difficult-to-reach areas and no mysterious dishwasher damage. I am a person who worries a bit at doing such things as well, so, I understand your concern... this thing is the meaning of sharp. Yes, it is a matter you can do but do be careful and aware when you do it. The only reason it might be a bit more risky than a plain knife, is the housing lends a disarming sense of safety one needs to watch out for. Best to you.

You can either use a sharp knife to cut it or use a cheese grater (which neither should be used for food prep again) to get a smaller amount for a lighter shade.

I didn't need to cut mine but I'm sure U could cut it if U use very sharp scissors or a sharp knife.

No, don't cut to open. Keep looking for opening. It is a really tight zip lock on the bottom. Pull it apart. That is why it is so watertight - because of the tight seal.

No problem to cut, but what are your plans to keep the steel shell from puckering after you cut the connecting end off? In any event, it will cut the steel easily but if the bottom contains an internal wood frame, it may be a little smokey as the blade has no hook angle as a pure wood blade does.

As soon as it doesn't seem to cut as well. PLEASE, get yourself a sharpening steel......what the chefs use. Works GREAT with just a few swipes! And PLEASE DO NOT PUT A GOOD KNIFE INT HE DISHWASHER!!!!!

I don't find the bottom of this cookware sharp at all. It has a design but I wouldn't say it is sharp. I use it on my glass cook top and it has not harmed. I have used iron skillets on it also and it has not hurt it. I find the glass tops very durable and this cookware is very nice.

I use either a wood or bamboo cutting board. You can cut on a pizza stone, but it only dulls the blade quicker

I would say yes but not without seriously dulling the blade. I'd suggest a different knife for that. Still a good knife though.

The knife part probably can cut thru the skin. I doubt the slicer end will cut clean thru.

You are going to have to cut that part loose like you did before. Personally i found it the easiest task; just take a butter knife (or the thinnest knife you have) - the utensil does not have to be sharp, and bring it was close to the metal as possible and just run your knife along the underside of the cake and it should come out without any issues. Once i started running my knife it came off and without cutting away at the cake at all. If you had problems with this, you could add a piece of parchment next time to the bottom - it shouldn't effect the chiffon cake at all. But honestly, i don't think you'll have problems getting the bottom off - it's usually the easiest part!

It is a finished piece so I wouldn't cut it. You *could* cut from the bottom. I purposes this differently than as sold, so I can't answer the hardware question.

I would not recommend cutting it since it is stitched on the bottom.and side unless you have a sewing machine to stitch it up so it doesn't unravel

The answer is yes to both questions. It wouldn't damage the knife, but if would cut into the wood. I would recommend placing a decorative glass cutting board on top for the purpose of cutting. Hope that helped. Good luck with your decision. It's a lovely product, otherwise.

The lowest I have ever cut is 2 inches from the bottom and it works well, if you follow the instructions provided!! If you have any other questions feel free to ask
