Re: [CnD] electric carving knife questions
More power to those using an electric knife. I'm horrified at the idea myself/weak smile. I if I'm not careful occasionally get into enough trouble with regular knives let alone an electric one! I know it's probably a matter of confidence, but have no desire to try it. -Original Message- From: Jill O'Connell via Cookinginthedark Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2015 1:54 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org ; Kerry Friddell Subject: Re: [CnD] electric carving knife questions Years ago we used to have a meat slicer that was not electric but I considered it much safer to use by a blind person.

Re: [CnD] electric carving knife questions
They have two blades, side by side, that move back and forth. While one is moving toward you, the other is moving away, then they swap. --- Be positive!
