CALLING ALL ENABLERS... Here's your chance !!!!

[JckDanls 07]

To scratch that enablers itch...

So I was slicing up a spatchcocked turkey tonight with our electric knife... well it kept cutting in and out and I was getting more and more pissed as it was messing up my "unprofessional" slicing job...

So that's what i'm in the market for... A new electric knife... Not a cheap one but not the most expensive one ether... somewhere in the middle of the road....

TIA...

Edited to say... It must have a case with it for storage...

The only thing I use an electric knife for is filleting fish. That being said, the one I use has proven very durable and I have no complaints. I really give them a workout and they usually last me a couple of years. Cheap enough and sturdy enough for my use and I beat them up...

Robot or human?

Edit to add that I remove the fillets with the rib bones as one piece, so I'm cutting through the bones. I then go back and cut the rib bones out with a regular knife.

The B&D knife was actually Test Kitchen's top pick.

Thanks for the reply GS ...

I do it just like GS but use a electric Rapala. It’s done hundreds without a sharpening

Bet that doesn't taste like chicken when you're done!
Sorry, can't be of any enabling help!

Dang! I'm a failure! Can't offer you any enabling powers here. I had one electric knife years ago. Don't recall the brand. But it did ok for ham and birds.

Yup... Those are the only two things I use it for...

Holy crap! The chief enabler has been stumped... I hope the powers that be here make note of this so it can celebrated far and wide!

I have an old Sunbeam twin blade . Got it as a wedding gift in '89 . Doesn't get a ton of use , but always does a great job .
Looks like they still make it , so maybe that's a good sign .

no a lot of help but have had a couple over the years. one was 20 years old and the blades wouldn't stay in. bought a hamilton beach on amazon. only use it or turkey and occaisional rib roast. Works fine for me. it was definitely a budget knife. I don't know how it would hold up under constnt use. it is sharp though.

Motorized cutlery may seem like a 1960s artifact, but we found one newer model to be surprisingly useful.

JD07, I use a Bubba fillet knife for fish and I love it. Bubba does make a kitchen carving knife also, not cheap but us enablers need you to spend money ! :)

All metal gears, lifetime warranty. Tested by commercial fish cleaner in Venice, Louisiana....(the on button was duct taped on every day). The knife is practically indestructable. I knew the guy that field tested the knife.......R.I.P. Mack "the knife".

The one we have is a wedding present in 88. Don't get much use anymore but it's still kickin.

I had one years ago, back in the 90's. All it ever did was make whatever I was carving look like I had used a chain saw.

I use their fishing pliers. Good set for the price.

I bought that same B&D on Amazon years ago when I first saw it on the show.

Just accessed that link from my phone and it's pay to see but on my laptop I can access the whole site.
