Branching out from its already successful cookware line, Anolons Advanced collection features high-grade materials with substantial weight. This slender 10-inch slicer neatly carves roasts or slices meats and cheeses into paper-thin slices without shredding. Great for speedy prep work, the blade is hollow ground with "dimples," which create air pockets that prevent foods from sticking during slicing.
Anolon Advanced blades are forged from high-quality German carbon steel that resists rust and food stains. The stainless steel is ice-hardened for additional strength and longer edge retention. Blades are then polished with glass to produce a sharper cut but an edge that is smoother to the touch. Full tangs and a counter balance cap provide superior balance, while a rounded blade spine adds more comfort during extended periods of prepping. Ergonomically-shaped handles with cushioned non-slip Santoprene padding offer a comfortable, secure grip--even when cutting with wet hands.
This slicer also comes with a tiny plastic tip to safely cover its point while resting on the cutting board between slicing tasks. A larger plastic sheath is included to protect the blade during in-drawer storage. Anolon guarantees this cutlery under a lifetime limited warranty, and recommends hand washing and immediately drying knives to prevent dulling.
