  • Carving a turkey

    Who uses an electric knife to carve a turkey or a traditional knife?
    I personally prefer a slicing knife

    Used both but prefer a traditional knife in birds so I can cut through the joints, etc.

        I use traditional knives. For turkey carving, I have a fairly stiff boneing knife for wing and leg joints, and a razor sharp slicing knife for the breast. For part of the " show " when I carve the bird, I take a few strokes on the butcher's steel. That just doesn't have the same inpact with an electric knife

                  ditto :-)

                  usually joint it up with whatever knife comes to hand, take the breast off in two lumps and usually carve one into slices. But to bo honets we're dark meat people so the breast doesn't usually get much attention :-)

                      I use an Electric Carving knife, but in the 30 years I made Kitchens, Vanities, and Entertainment Center Cabinets, I didn't use Hand Saws, and I didn't use a Hammer & Chisel when I carved my Bears.
