I love my santoku, great all around knife. I was able to find a calphalon recently at one of the “sales rack” clothing stores for a very reasonable price. I’ve found it to be a great knife (just my 2 cents).

Thanks so much.. I just used one on date nut bars that have always come out terrible looking at the cut & it worked perfectly.

You might want to make sure your plastic knife doesnt have a lip edge on the top of it so that it just glides thru perfectly…

Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I’m doing bake sale stuff and knew my brownies would look terrible. Now they look GREAT! I even had one of those plastic lettuce knives out in the garage (for many years)….who knew?

Right. 1) plastic knife, and 2) warm. The warmth is what helps the plastic slide right through.

I used the plastic knife, still had trouble. But the secret must be in cutting when warm. I’ll try next time. I was going to semi-freeze them to see if that works.

Nice name.

For someone who is in the researching stage of a tiny, tiny home-based baking business, this tip is awesome. I will have to go buy one of the plastic lettuce knives to add to my baking accessories. Pretty brownies are probably easier to sell… ^-^

Katie, I recently saw a tip on Martha’s website, if you cut 2 wedges and then remove one, it will come out easier I tried it and it does work! perfect wedges:)
