Can you use an electric knife?

I am real happy with this item. When you slice bread it has to be a bit cold and firm, doesn't do a good job a few minutes out of the oven. But the only thing i found is that the sides are made of wood and you have to be real careful when you slice, I nicked one of the slats a few times using a serrated knife, I imagine you can use an electric knife but you need to be careful and keep an eye on what your doing

I got my electric knife out this morning and it did fit between the slots. I did not cut all the way through the bread to the cutting board. I did not want to damage the board. I did have to do a little cutting on the bottom with a regular knife. I did not have to hold the sides steady so it worked out pretty well. Again, be careful with the board. Hope this helps.P. Hirt

You could but I would not because you could damage the surface of the bread pal. I ordered a long bread knife from Amazon and it works perfect. The bread pal is great and takes no room when you are done.

I doubt it. I threw mine away. The wood started splintering. There is this other one I got which comes with an electric slicer.I am moving and put it away. I will let you know later if you are still interested.

The knife guide gaps are 2 mm. So as long as your electric knife blade width is less than 2 mm, should be fine.

In theory you can, but what really determines the knife ability to be used is the blade length. Especially an electric knife would have to be large enough on the shortest stroke to keep from bouncing off the opposite side and extends past the opposite side.i ended up buying a knife for hand slicing for most blades did not extend past by enough to cut with.

I don't see why not as long as it has a long blade, 10 or more inches is best

Yes you can, but with this proviso: the knife blades are held together at the tip by a small brad that you assemble the blades together with. It is best if that brad is flush with the connected blade and does not protrude outward farther than the spaces between the "fingers" of the bread slicer. My searches for that type of electric knife proved impossible.I have an older GE electric bread slicer that meets that criteria, but it really is not sharp enough, but works.I found you need the ability to move the blades back and forth to get smooth cuts, that don't damage the cutting surface too much. A brad that sticks out past the blade prevents that. Yes you can, but with this proviso: the knife blades are held together at the tip by a small brad that you assemble the blades together with.

If you can cut it with a butter knife, you can chop it with this. Its not like an electric food processor by any stretch. I only use it for very very very soft foods. Not too versatile whatsoever. I recommend good knife or an electric food processor. It's good for salsa and sauces.

The slot is 3/32" wide. I have no idea whether an electric knife would fit.

Yes you can. It works fantastic. I've used it on my fishing knives and they work like new again.

The food slicer is electric. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused.

No, because that would dull it considerable, and probably lower the temper in the blade due to excessive heat. The blade is much thinner than a conventional kitchen knife.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I do know that an electric knife usually works best when cutting foam.

I wouldn't think that would be safe. I used a double bladed electric carving knife like you'd carve a turkey with. Worked great!

I haven't tried so I can't say one way or the other. My recollection is, that the position of the plug relative to the knife might make it awkward. Additionally, I'm not sure that the electrical connection would be maintained during the filleting process.

We typically use steak knives but depending on the cut of meat, they would work. The filets and better cuts should be fine.

Yes, I believe it can be cut pretty easy probably using an electric knife....

Hi Ronnie, either with a sharp carving knife or (in my case) with an electric meat slicer: EdgeCraft 610 Chef's Choice Premium Electric Food Slicer

I suppose you could, jeopardizing the hone of your knife. The spine of the blade would likely not be sharp enough, so the hone would be needed to emit spark. I would use the striker for striking and the knife for cutting. But that's me.

No. You definitely shouldn't use a knife to cut anything on the sheet. Someone did so on mine and made several slashes. The good thing about them is that absolutely nothing sticks to them, so you can easily slide whatever you are doing right to a cutting board. Hope this helps.

the knob broke off mine the 1st time i used it..you can still use the knife, just (carefully) adjust the slice-guide, it will move & you can still get a great cut.

Sure. And what works best IMHO is an electric carving knife. Cutting foam with those is the only reason I keep one around.
