What do you think is the hardest food to cut open with knives?

[Robotic]

Yesterday I decided to test my cutco knives on some of the hardest food items I could think of. I bought Watermelon, squash, and pineapple and my knives cut through them all like butter it was amazing!.

I also bought a coconut thinking I could use the dull end of my butcher knife to smash it open but no cigar.

So think of things harder than a pineapple, watermelon, or squash, but softer than a coconut.

Whatchu got? :D

cutco is a great product. i would think coconut would be the hardest. when i've been in the caribbean or mexico they literally use machetes to cut open coconuts.

i can't think of a more difficult thing to cut open

I don't like deboning fish or deveining shrimp. All the delicate stuff takes more effort.

[Robotic]

Hmmm... I don't have a fillet knife so I don't think I can test that just yet.

[aMuse]

It's not too bad, it just takes time when working with a whole fish and when you have to do a ton of shrimp lol. Life if I'm cutting up veggies with a chefs knife I can prep a ton of food fast, but deshelling shrimp, deveining them under the facet, then butterflying them takes so much time just for a handful of them.

Butternuts!I hate cooking them for that reason but I love them.

[debbiebooboobaby]

Bread... it always comes out so messy =(

[Robotic]

Check it out :D

[UberTroll]

Yeah cutco knives are awesome. Expensive though...

[Robotic]

Yeah but they're high quality :P

[aMuse]

Use a serrated bread knife lol.

[UberTroll]

Serrated edges are the problem with bread. It's a non-serrated edge I need to get. Serrated edges are for meat.

[Robotic]

but serrated bread knives were designed with bread in mind though.

[UberTroll]

Maybe they were but the fact of the matter is my bread always comes out better when I cut it with the straight edge knife at work lol

[Robotic]

One day you will buy that cutco slicer and never worry about it ever again ;P

[UberTroll]

One day I will take over the world with help from my Mr. Pointy from cutco ;)

[Robotic]

Indeed muahahahaha. I'm already half way there with my spatula spreader :D

[aMuse]

lol I can only imagine the bread getting all smushed with a straight edge knife... especially with a real soft bread... Maybe you just have a crappy bread knife or forget to use a sawing action lol.

You're suppose to relax when you cut bread open.

[Logorithim]

Pumpkins get my vote.

[TsubasaCorrupted]

Cutco is ok but it's not amazing.

[MissLeslie]

I would say coconut.

[Robotic]

Less than that :P

[MissLeslie]

Pumpkin?

[Robotic]

Hmm I do have yet to try pumpkins.

[SpunkNiel]

Burnt toast. : I

[Aiko_E_Lara]
