What is the name of that gadget

SharkE — Tue, 11 Jun 2019 18:32:45 GMT

that I saw Martha Stewart use to make slits in bread she was making and said "this is a handy little gadget", but, couldn't understand what she called it.

Could had been a French term. Sounded like 'ire' . Instead of a serrated edge knife this was a gadget that slashed right thru the dough clean and neat.

No, it was some kind of gadget that looked like a potato peeler probably had a razor blade in it to make that kind of clean cut.

I emailed King Arthur and asked them, also.

Could use that when I make French bread. She was making some kind of ol' dark brown thick bread like they have at Outback. Don't care for that stuff

They're listed as being sold at Walmart, Wiliams and Sonoma, Breadtopia, etc.

They're a double edged razor blade with a handle. Happy hunting.

I got mine on Amazon......even though it is really a razor , I thought the handle and sheath were worth the $7.....

I wish I knew what it was for and how to use it. I am sure @SharkE will be great at it. Your rolls look so yummy. Wish I lived in your neighborhood .

LOL

when you make French bread you cut slits in the dough you know like you

see at Walmart. Cut on the diagonal 2-3 times.

Afraid to handle a plain razor blade don't want to have to go to hospital

think I'll get the one at King Arthur, they're on the ball, just get the cheap one

I have the top one but I wouldn't call it a razor. I didn't know that name to it.

Not sharp enough if you use a sawing motion can deflate the dough

Like operating tools LOL you have to cut clean and not leave tattered edges

Just another 'fine' kitchen utensil like pastry roller liked to never found a pastry roller !

This gadget, I have it's to scoop dumplings that's already formed all up at a time or scoot cookies off the baking pan in one motion.

Transfer cookies bunch at a time. Also, can use it to slice big mound of bread dough into halves to make 2 loaves. Lots of uses. Shortcut tools.

How about a good old Xacto knife? I have a lame I got at King Arthur (a plastic one with a metal blade) but it doesn't work that well. I'd take a good X-acto over it.

A retractable utility knife (box cutter) could be used, too, and then it's safe to store in a drawer. I have one that has ceramic blades that never dull or rust, made by a company called SLICE. Q sells them.

I'll bet a Kyocera ceramic knife would work too. I saw one at HomeGods todaoy.
