Kenwood KN400

Christmas should be a time of giving, a time where the whole family should feel relaxed around the warmth glow of the home and where everyone learns to take things slowly and easy. If that is the case then why do half of my mum's friends still carve away roughly at the Turkey/Roast Beef/whatever is on a bone with old knives which should have been consigned to the bin years ago? Quite simply, they don't have an electric carving knife. And this summer our electric carver knife has been out on the barbecue too! Most experienced cooks and bakers will have an electric carving knife - it's not just ... more

After years of struggling with a non electric carving knife and large meat fork I purchased the Kenwood electric carving knife. I was getting embarrassed serving our guests large slabs of meat when cooking a roast dinner. My husband being a huge meat lover didn't see this as a problem hence why it took so long to buy one. This kitchen gadget is extremely simple to operate. On unboxing you have the body of the unit that has a comfortable handle incorporating the unit as a whole with just 2 buttons on the top. The button nearest the handle is the on / off button. The other is the blade release ... more

Price and Availability After moving into our flat we were given loads of different bits and pieces from people, one thing being a bread maker. As I have a complete inability to cut a decent slice of bread from the loaf I decided to buy an electric knife which I knew were a lot better for this sort of thing as my Mum and Dad have one too.

The Kenwood KN400 Electric Knife is priced at £16.99 at Argos and can be ... more

I have a large family (three, now –adult children, their partners, my grandchildren – the list gets longer each year!) It is no longer an easy thing to do , to invite everyone round for a meal – but when we do manage to tie everyone down to a date that suits us all, it is nice to cook a big roast dinner. This year, over Christmas time, I bought a very large Beef joint, and though I say it myself, it was cooked to perfection. I had thought ahead on this and I will be honest, I despise carving a joint of meat.. I personally prefer thin slices, although not everyone does – my knives are never ... more

I treated my self to this carving knife for my birthday at the begining of this year as i had had enough of always struggling to cut up joints of beef into managable slices and thought it would be realy useful to cut the bread from my bread maker instead of me hacking away at it and making a right mess. Since getting this knife i couldnt imagine life without it, it is small enough to store away easily although mine never stays away long. It makes light work of slicing my beef joints for our dinner and gets me nice thin slices of beef very easily, it is great for cutting the bread as its even ... more
