Cuts like slicing through hot butter
I had been using a Cutco knife which had grown dull. The turning point was when i made shrimp n grits and had to dice bacon and the Cutco begrudgingly diced the bacon but i earned a nasty blister from gripping the knife so hard trying to cut through all the fat. I had to get a new Knife. So I found the Zelite and it had decent reviews.
The true test for me involved slicing/dicing things i do on a regular basis:
1) raw chicken
2) veggies
3) bacon
1) The raw chicken used to take me quite a while to dice up. Now, i can take a raw chicken breast and gently slice it 3 times then hold the 3 pieces together and slice perpendicular for an easy dice. I'm amazed at what i've been missing out on. This knife is amazingly sharp and the effort to slice 'n dice now is minimal. I really do apply very little pressure and there is no "sawing" involved. I simply apply gentle pressure and slice.
2) If it can slice raw chicken it can definitely slice veggies. So far i've only had the chance to dice bell pepper. Again, all i do is apply gentle pressure and slice
3) now for the final test. when i make shrimp n grits i take bacon and dice it up. The Zelite allows me to layer 3 slices of bacon on top of each other and simply slice down the middle. Then i hold them together and do a perpendicular cut to dice. No Blisters this time!!! It sliced right through all the fat perfectly.
Great knife and prepping food for cooking is no longer a chore!!
