Are the serrated grooves deep and hard to clean? Any black mold marks in the grooves or when cutting butter or similar foods?

I would not call them really deep, but deep enough to use a a steak knife. The knives are no problem at all to clean....and certainly no black mold anywhere or any time !! Overall, this is a great set !!

I just stumbled upon your question while looking for flatware to add to my wedding registry and this is the set my parents have. We had this same issue with the black marks on the butter from the serrated grooves and had no idea what was causing them for the longest time. There is actually nothing wrong with the knives, we found that if you use these knives to cut an avocado, sometimes the rind/skin remains in the grooves even after being washed in the dishwasher.

The serrated groves are not deep nor are they hard to clean. I do not have any marks at all on any of the pieces. I put them in the dishwasher and have had no problems.

Nope. Not deep or long enough. I do not agree with previous that you can use this as a steak knife. The set is awesome, very shiny and heavy. I do love it. I'm starting to get a little marks on the knives but Onida explained that on something I read before I bought these.

Cleaning them is REALLY easy, I've noticed on cookies it does make an imprint on the bottom of the cookies sometimes, but it doesn't affect the taste or how they cook.

Just got it a few days ago. Not sure how helpful this is, but immediately after using, I typically rinse the areas that would have come in contact with food, then dry with a towel. I suppose you could fit a damp/soapy q-tip behind the cutting blade if something got really stuck in there, then rinse lightly and dry. As someone already suggested, a small brush or even toothbrush seems like a good idea.

It sounds like yours has a manufacturing defect. My spatula has a nicely smoothed edge on the bottom and all the edges. Perhaps you need to get a different one shipped to you. When made properly, it is a wonderful tool.

The edges are not serrated. Straight on both sides. The surprising part about this flatware is the size--each piece is perhaps 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch longer than American stainless. The knives have to be washed carefully; they seem to pick up spots more easily than the forks and spoons. You can usually do them in a dishwasher, but sometimes we've had to re-do knives by hand.

I didn't find it hard to clean at all. The scraper makes it easy to get it out of the jar. I just put some dishwashing liquid and a little water and pulse.

Can't help you. Don't use serrated knives. Can tell you the Trizor made all my other knives dangerously sharp!

I have a bread slicing guide I use with a serrated bread knife. I've also noted that the loaves slice more easily when they have been stored a few hours in a plastic bag after it has cooled. It seems to soften the top crust a little so the knife won't just make it crumble. I also use the "soft" setting even if the recipe calls for regular or firm. The loaves seem to cut better and hold together better.

I have never had a mold problem. I keep enough water in base to touch the butter, change water every three days, and keep in a cool place on my counter top. I add butter as needed(from the fridge) and return to water when butter softens.My daughter has never had mold either!! Hope you have better luck--we just love having soft butter at hand.

no grooves, they're not needed when using a ceramic sharpener. this thing is a beauty: it can be used to sharpen serrated knives, such as bread knives, or slicers. on conventional knives, just use it as you would a conventional steel with grooves.

all the knives i bought is not serrated. thats basically i wanted except of course for the steak knives. but my steak knives didnt come in serrated. you should probably try by calling them. i hope it gives you my answer for you purpose.

The grooves aren't that deep. I use mine as a tray for my cat food dishes and water bowl. I just wipe it clean with a wet paper towel or a quick dip in a soapy sink.

Mine did not have sharp edges. It is very well made. I have used mine a lot this summer. It balances nicely on the jars & cleans up well. I really like mine.

Its easy to clean. But scratches. I just put a cutting board on it. It was a great purchase

yes it is easy to clean, I use it all the time. I only wish it were a 10 inch when it comes to slicing baked ham and sirloin steak for philly cheese steaks. but it's durable and easy to use.

I have not experienced this problem. Might try rinsing with white vinegar. I would also make sure there isn't any food residue stuck under the blade area.

You can't clean under the blade. Food and bacteria build up under the blade. I loved mine for the first few uses, but when I realized I couldn't clean under the blade and the potato starch would build up, I threw it away and am looking for another. Make sure you get one that cleans up easy and thoroughly.
