Can you use an electric knife with this slicer?

I wouldn't use any sharp serrated knife. The wooden base is just slightly harder than balsa wood. I wouldn't buy it again. Very cheaply made.

I have not used one, but I don't see why you can't, you just have to be careful on how you cut as you get down close to the bottom of the loaf, so as not to damage your base board.

An electric knife is the best thing to use with this slicer. Although you may have long bread knives, it's difficult to keep them in the slots when slicing by hand. I got a cheap Black & Decker electric knife and combined with this slicing guide, I now have uniform, straight slices of bread from my homemade loaves. Definitely use an electric knife, it makes the whole process so much smoother and it works perfectly with the slicing guide.

I am sure you can. I have only used it for a cake, but the knife didn't harm the plate or knife at all.

I would think that this would work great on any meat.Electric knives usually are wide blades with blunt tips, where these are narrow and pointed tipsallowing for increased flexibility.

No. the slicer and the corer are both made out of the same piece of metal so you can't do one without the other.

It would work pretty well but you might want to consider a cut resistant glove if you want the best results as the guard that comes with the slicer is a nice feature to keep fingers away from the blade but not that great at holding together things that want to fall apart when slicing like cabbage. I personally recommend a glove to anyone using it as the blades are very sharp and while I haven't hurt myself bad with I did touch the blade once enough to get a slight cut.

Yes, you just move the slicer blade out of the way. I did this with potatoes and it worked great.

I didn't get the slicer blade with mine, but you might try Abtecparts.com. They may have a different slicer blade that can give you better results. I generally use mine for things like making peanut butter, cauliflower mash, salsa verde and things I want nearly pureed.

I personally use a electric foam cutter for precision cutting. It's more expensive then an electric knife but you can cut any shape without tears or snags.

No, but you can make very thin slices, stack them, and then juilienne them with a knife.

If the product you wish to cut is firm enough and you have a good knife, I can see no problem. You would get best results using this bread slicer using an electric knife without you sawing. So, my answer would be a resounding ""YES".

You could but probably wouldn't want to because a knife will leave marks. I would recommend you add a separate cutting board.

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

Go to youtube and search for Weston Slicer. There are a few videos showing how to use a similar (7 1/2 inch) model but not this exact one.

You can but it will dull your pizza cutter. I transfer it to a board to cut
