Don't Use New Knives on Stoneware!!

[gilliandanielle]

Passing on what has been passed on to me....good to know!!!



-----A heads up from a fellow director.

Just a heads up on the NEW KNIVES. Don't cut or slice anything on the
stones. I read the use and care and it didn't say not to. I have been using
them every day slicing and cutting different things trying to get the feel.
Today I cut rice krispies treats into squares in the 9 in. square baker and
it bent the tip of the knife up really bad. Just threw the box away today,
so now I have to fine something safe to send a knife back in. They are
sending a sticker....but I think they should send a warning so 70,000 knives
don't have to be sent back.

Gillian thanks for the heads up!! Yikes!

I used my knife last night to cut up rice krispies too and it didn't harm it? Do you think it's just a defect?

This is forged, high-carbon steel...it is harder than our self-sharpening knives!!! I use the knives on the stoneware, and I'll check out the U&C before I use the new knives, but I don't see why they would not be able to take stoneware!!

I don't know, I don't have one, but my director sent me this this morning and told me to pass it along. If it isn't harming the knives then great, but just be careful I guess. It could have just been a defect!?

Possibly a defect. I got out my use and care cards and it does not say anything about using them or not using them on stones. Maybe a new urban legend? There could be something in the CN that I missed, but I'm usually pretty thorough! I would try it (not at a show) and get it replaced if it did that.

That's really weird, because one of the selling points of stoneware is that you can cut things right on it! I would think the new knives wouldn't be more likely to bend than the old ones, right?

Hi there! Thank you for sharing this important information with us. As a fellow consultant, it's always helpful to learn from each other's experiences. I definitely agree that it would be great if the use and care guide included a warning about using the new knives on stoneware. In the meantime, I would recommend using a separate cutting board when using the stoneware to avoid any damage to the knives. Thank you again for passing on this valuable tip! Happy cooking!
