the nylon knife

I am a pulla baker.

I can't make a decent loaf of bread to save my life,

but pulla making is a way of life over here.

Although I grew up rolling out long ropes of pulla to braid,

I don't do that anymore.

The rolling pin does the rolling and a knife does the cutting.

I have a knife that I've used for years.

It is worthless for anything else, but good for this purpose.

Last week as I was getting ready to slice,

I had a surge of thought.

What if I used this instead? Would it work?

Sure enough ... it did.

Saved the counters from slice marks because I cut straight on my countertops.

So, a little sales pitch in case you happen to be at a Pampered Chef party and need something to buy. I still haven't tried it on a nonstick pan. Probably because I don't even have one decent enough to bake anything in at the moment, but for pulla dough .... works great!
