Best Ever for Pork Roast Slicing (also other meats, breads, and vegetables)
These cutting tongs are superb--best ever--for slicking pork loin!It will work for beef, but beef is a bit expensive these days, so I get pork.Specifically, I like pork chops but they are about $3 a pound (bone-in), while pork loin is $2 a pound (boneless).I get a pork loin and then slice it into pork chops, and this saves about $5 here in the middle of nowhere.I use Victorinox® knives, and the large knife in the photos is a Victorinox 10" Slicing Knife with Granton edge.For reference, the pork loin (a.k.a., pork roast) is 5 pounds, and it's boneless. Fat makes meat taste better, so I select the pork loin that has the most fat, and this makes it like pork chops when sliced.Victorinox knives are very sharp, so I keep them in Noble knife shields. Victorinox knives are expensive, but they reduce prep time significantly and pay for themselves easily over the long run if you cook a lot.The Cutting Tongs are fantastic in every respect--affordable, sturdy, dishwasher safe, logical, easy to use safely, and significantly lowers the risk of using sharp knives, plus you get same-size slices, which is nice.If you are going to make stuffed pork chops, then use every second or every third tong slot for slicing--double or triple thickness.[NOTE: The red handle cable cutter is what I use to cut the ends off chicken drumsticks, which mostly is a visual aspect of preparing food. ]P. S. I am a Vine Voice, but I bought this with my own money. It was not a free item. Very happy to have these cutting tongs in my set of kitchen utensils!
