Thought I had bought a defective knife. It turned out that he cuts tomatoes perfectly (even overripe)

Hello, friends.

To begin with, another ceramic knife has appeared in our house. I will not tell you where it came from. It does not matter. The first thing that confused me was a new knife, and already with defects. A piece of the blade is chipped near the handle itself. For now, just remember this. Despite such a flaw, he divinely copes with cutting tomatoes. From now on, let's take a closer look.

Important! This is a budget knife.

In general, the knife is far from ideal

Of course, the dream of any housewife is a knife with a razor sharp edge. He will cut both meat and tomato in one motion. There is only one "but". A knife capable of maintaining such sharpness costs a lot.

My budget option. Of course, it is not razor-sharp. If you try to cut overripe tomatoes with it, the insides spread across the table.

I am sure that in this case you are familiar with one popular life hack that the manufacturers have adopted.

Spied on a popular life hack

What is the difficulty in slicing tomatoes? That's right, an overly dense peel and a too soft core.

In order for the knife to cut vegetables, and not crush them, housewives pierce the peel with a sharp point and start from this place to cut them with the entire plane of the blade. This is perhaps the simplest and most reliable, like a hammer, method of slicing with a not the sharpest knife.

Introduced innovations in production

The very chipped hole that immediately seemed to us to be a defect performs an important function. It is enough to hold the knife over the tomato with a movement towards yourself and magic happens.

The notch pierces the skin and makes an incision without any effort. Then the main part of the blade comes into play. The cutting resistance is minimal here.

Thus, not even the sharpest knife copes well with a difficult kitchen task. We take care of it. We use it only for its intended purpose. For other such on sale have not yet met.

Perhaps our observations will seem childish and naive to someone. We are not professional cooks, sharpeners or hunters. If, nevertheless, the material was useful, do not forget about the "thumbs up".Subscribe to the channel here.
