FAQ

A serrated kitchen knife is ideal for slicing through foods with tough exteriors and soft interiors, such as bread, tomatoes, citrus fruits, and cakes. The serrated edge grips and cuts through crusts and skins without crushing the delicate inside.

A serrated knife features a scalloped or saw-like edge, which makes it especially effective at cutting through foods with hard surfaces and soft centers. In contrast, a straight-edged knife is better suited for cleanly slicing softer foods or making precision cuts.

Yes, a serrated kitchen knife can be used to slice through cooked meats, especially those with a crispy or crusty exterior, such as roasts or baguette sandwiches. However, for raw meats, a straight-edged knife is generally recommended for cleaner cuts.

Hand washing your serrated kitchen knife with mild soap and warm water is recommended to preserve its sharpness. Avoid using abrasive sponges, and dry the knife thoroughly before storing. Regular honing isn’t necessary, but occasional professional sharpening can help maintain the serrated edge.

While some serrated kitchen knives are labeled as dishwasher safe, it is generally best to hand wash them to prevent dulling and potential handle damage. Dishwashers can cause blades to knock against other utensils, which may affect the knife's performance over time.
