A reliable chef's knife can take you far in the kitchen. But sometimes you need a little extra power. If you've been careful to follow all the important tips for cooking a turkey, for example, you don't want to undermine your efforts with a bad carving job. When used correctly, electric knives require little effort and simplify carving and cutting food such as Christmas turkey, different roasts, roast chicken and even tomatoes, vegetables and cheese. An electric knife is also a great option if you have nice crusty bread you can make consistent slices faster than with a large serrated knife. The DOMO DO9234EM electric knife is designed with a reciprocating blade (i.e. two parallel serrated blades that saw back and forth very quickly in opposition to each other). In many cases, it will reduce the amount of force you will need when cutting.
