ry thoroughly. (See Cleaning Instructions

on page 4.)

2. Attach the blades by inserting the rivet

on one blade into the keyhole of the

other blade.

Using your Cuisinart

Electric Knife:

1. The knife should be unplugged when

fitting the blades. The blades must be

assembled before fitting into knife. The

safety button should be in the locked

position. Achieve this by pushing the small

tab on the side of the trigger button.

(While looking at the underside of handle,

push the tab on the left side to unlock.)

While holding the blades with the serrated

edge away from you, insert blades until you

evenly when properly inserted.

Caution: The blades are very sharp; be careful

when handling them.

2. Plug the cord into a standard electrical outlet.

3. Unlock the safety button.

4. Squeeze and hold the trigger button with

your fingers as you cut. Blades should stay

parallel to the cutting surface.

Caution: NEVER place your hand on top of

the blade to support it while operating the

knife as the blades are designed to move back

and forth.

5. Blade automatically stops when trigger

is released.

HELPFUL HINTS

Carving Blade:

The carving blade is very versatile. In addition

to slicing meats such as turkey, chicken,

salami, ham and roasts, it can also be used to

cut fruits like melon and pineapple, vegetables

such as squash, eggplant and zucchini, as well

as hard cheeses.

Bread Blade:

The bread blade glides through loaves for

consistent, even slicing. It can also be used to

slice bagels and sandwich rolls. Blade is

intended for use on bread only.

HOW TO CARVE

A TURKEY

Carving a large bird, especially in front of

hungry guests, can be a daunting task— the

watering mouths, critical eyes, rumbling

stomachs. With the Cuisinart®Electric Knife, a

little guidance and some helpful hints...we hope

to make this task a pleasurable experience.

Preparation:

1. Remove the turkey from the oven.

2. Cover loosely with foil and let stand

15-30 minutes to let the juices set and the

meat firm up. The turkey will be more

moist, easier to carve, and the slices will

hold together better.

3. Remove the stuffing.

4. Place turkey on a carving board, breast side

up, with the legs facing you. You’ll need

your Cuisinart®Electric Knife and a large

carving fork to hold the bird.

Cutting the legs and wings:

1. Hold the tip of one drumstick with your

fingers and gently pull the leg away from

the body of the turkey.

2. Holding the turkey steady with a carving

fork, cut the skin between the thigh and

the breast.

3. Pull the leg out further to expose the joint

where the thigh connects and cut through

joint with the knife to remove the leg.

Tip: The key to carving the thighs, legs, and

wings is to cut through the joints, and not

through the bones. We do not recommend

using your Cuisinart®Electric Knife on

bones as it could cause damage to the

knife or personal injury.

CEK-40 / IB-3700A 3/4/04 6:15 PM Page 5

4. Next, hold the drumstick with the fork and

cut at the joint between the drumstick and

thigh to separate the two pieces.

5. Slice the meat on the drumstick by cutting

along the bone to get thick slices.

6. Turn the drumstick and continue slicing along

the bone until all of the meat is removed.

7. To remove meat from the thigh, cut thick

slices to the bone. If the turkey is small, the

drumstick and thigh may be served whole.

8. Using the fork, hold the wing away from

the body and cut through the joint. The

wing can be served as is.

9. Repeat on other side to remove leg

and wing.

Tip: Cut dark meat first, as it does not dry out

as quickly as the white meat of the breast.

Carving the breast:

1. Hold the breast with the carving fork, and

starting at the outer side of one breast, cut

slices parallel to the ribcage, from the top of

the breast downward. The slices should be

thin, even and the entire length of the

breast. The slices will get larger as you

work toward the ribcage. Continue slicing

until you reach the bones.

2. Repeat on the other side of the breast.

Tip: Angle the knife parallel to the ribcage,

rather than digging into the meat.

Tip: Some yummy leftovers that can be made

from the smaller pieces of meat near the bones

include: soup, casserole, chili, salad, tacos, etc.

BEST METHODS OF

SLICING BREAD

How to cut bread:

There are several ways to cut bread. Two of

the most popular are to cut straight across, or

in a herringbone pattern, which works only

with rounded loaves of bread.

Standard slices:

1. First, to cut the bread straight across, place

the loaf on a carving board.

2. Holding the bread firmly yet gently in one

hand, place the knife over the bread, paral-

lel to the carving board, making sure the tip

of the knife extends past the side of loaf.

3. Cut slices to preference.

Tip: The Cuisinart®Electric Knife works well

on bread by gently pulling the knife towards

you as it cuts downward through the bread.

Herringbone pattern:

Cutting bread in a herringbone pattern is

more difficult and produces smaller pieces of

bread, although you still control the thickness

of the slice.

1. To begin, hold the bread firmly yet gently

in one hand and angle the knife across the

corner of one of the smaller ends of the

loaf, making sure the blade is parallel to the

carving board. The slice should start in the

middle of the loaf and angle towards the

outside, cutting off the rounded crust.

2. The next slice starts again from the center of

the loaf but angles toward the other side of

the bread, cutting off a larger slice with crust.

3. Repeat step one, alternating cutting each

side at an angle.

Tip: To cut in the herringbone pattern, you

may need to turn the bread or vary your

stance as you switch cutting sides.

HOW TO CARVE HAM

ON THE BONE

1. Remove the ham from the oven,

cover loosely with foil and let stand for

20 minutes.

2. Place ham on a carving board.

3. Holding the ham steady with a carving fork,

use your Cuisinart®Electric Knife to trim

away the excess fat from the outside of

the ham.

4. Next, stand the ham on end, holding the

shank (smaller) end in your hand.

5. Slice into the ham just below the shank, at

the stifle joint, where the ham gets bigger.

6. Cut along the bone, which is curved, and

then around the socket joint at the sirloin

end. The meat will not cut completely away

from the bone yet.

7. Rotate the ham so the uncut side is up, and

holding the shank end with your hand, slice

into the ham at the joint, cutting downward

until the meat falls away from bone.

8. Cut off any large remaining pieces of meat.

Carve the ham in even slices, keeping

your knife parallel to the carving board

and holding the ham securely with a

carving fork.
