can you use a sharp knife to cut with or will it harm the bottom

It will scratch the bottom - I don't think you can cut through and you will still be able to use the pan. It doesn't have a non-stick finish like teflon that you can chip off.

I think it will harm the bottom. I would not recommend using a sharp knife on this pan. Unless you don't care if it gets scratched. I don't think it would effect the quality of the pan if it was to get scratched accidently. WOULD NOT ADVISE USING A SHARP KNIFE ON THIS PAN.

I use sharp knives on them all of the time. It scratches them, but they (I have four) have held up for at least four years.

I used parchment paper on the bottom so all I had to do was loosen the sides of the cake. I loosened the sides gently with a non-serrated knife gently and doing that did not scratch the sides of the pan.

You'll definitely scratch the pan. Anodized aluminum is harder than regular aluminum, but not as hard as steel. In general, you should treat it the same way as a non-stick pan (i.e. use rubber or plastic utensils when possible).

I certainly haven't tried it, but I see no reason why it could not be so. It is only two inches thick,so a sharp utility knife should do the job. Use a heavy straight edge, like a piece of lumber, to guide the cut. Happy sailing!

I didn't need to cut mine but I'm sure U could cut it if U use very sharp scissors or a sharp knife.

Scissors, will work. You need a straight edge, to cut it with a utility knife.

I don't see why not. Try an elc knife or press down with a borad an a razor knife on top of something that wount cut

You can use just the cutting board, but have to remove the bottom of the cup (not the lid) and keep the clear plastic portion into place. We've basically stopped using ours and went back to the knife.

No. I have tried it and you would have to cut a portion of the rubber on the bottom.

I have heard you can use an electric carving knife for a clean cut.Good luck!

No. You definitely shouldn't use a knife to cut anything on the sheet. Someone did so on mine and made several slashes. The good thing about them is that absolutely nothing sticks to them, so you can easily slide whatever you are doing right to a cutting board. Hope this helps.

No. In these cases it will shred and make a mess so it's best to cut with a "hot" knife sold at many hobby stores

I have used mine both ways. They don't have a sharp cutting edge, but they did work for cutting as well.

You can cut the pizza on it but that would damage the pan, I move it to a cutting board for slicing.

You can cut it but it is going to lose quality. Best to leave it as is and buy the small pads. They come GREATLY in handy. If you cut it the fiber-type material inside will begin to fall out and ruin the pad.

The tip of the blade is sharp, and is a danger if you are not careful. Although I haven't quite experimented with it, the sides are dull and shouldn't pose harm if you're just carrying it around or storing it.

It might cut through it (or hot butter), but it isn't much good for anything else. I would use a knife.

I would probably use a large cleaver or a knife that is a lot larger to cut it down to manageable pieces then use the Mac to finish it. You have to be careful the knife is very sharp use care and common sense keep your fingers out of the way, enjoy this knife it is a work of art and fun to use. Safety first is the motto when using any sharp object. Cook away.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.
