Hi - Absolute correctness is Santoku, but Santuko is accepted as it has been mis-translated for so many year. I had lunch with the shop owner next door just now ( he sells knives at his HW store ) and he confirmed by showing me the Japanese characters in Hiragana. You will see it both ways when translated to Roma-ji. If you are shopping in Japan where they don't speak English it is best to pronounce Santoku when asking about the knives.

Maybe we should call Pampered Chef and ask them why we were taught the wrong way to pronounce Santoku at conference? I always said San-toe-koo before that.

It has been mispronounced for so long that either way is acceptable. They probably went with the majority of the Americans...also, with the "two" in the middle, it is easier for us 'anglish speekers to speek it write...teehee

Just a little note about the gruyere chicken.....The gruyere cheese is strong and expensive. It can be made with swiss cheese also. It is not as strong and less expensive....of course then you can't have the fun of trying to say gruyere!:)
 
okay...I should have read the other posts before I put my 2 cents in about the swiss cheese. I didn't realize that someone already said that it is swiss cheese! I have my duh moments! sorry!
