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 have not tried to cut it but it is a hard plastic so it should be possible to cut it with a utility knife.

Wait til it cools and slice with very sharp kitchen knife. Don't be tempted to slice while hot it will tear apart.

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

Hello. We wash all such items at this bagel cutter (and all our good knives) by hand ourselves to make sure there is no food material left in difficult-to-reach areas and no mysterious dishwasher damage. I am a person who worries a bit at doing such things as well, so, I understand your concern... this thing is the meaning of sharp. Yes, it is a matter you can do but do be careful and aware when you do it. The only reason it might be a bit more risky than a plain knife, is the housing lends a disarming sense of safety one needs to watch out for. Best to you.

I don't see why you couldn't cut it. You'll need a strong, sharp knife of some sort. And to help prevent it from lifting at the corners I would recommend rounding the corners of your cut.

No. The only blade that will cut a flat bottom, is a blade with a flat top grind (FTG).

The knife part probably can cut thru the skin. I doubt the slicer end will cut clean thru.

the knob broke off mine the 1st time i used it..you can still use the knife, just (carefully) adjust the slice-guide, it will move & you can still get a great 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. 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.

yes, use a sharp blade. I did trim one to use as part of a collage, but if you want to use the mat as intended (on a desk) it would be best to order a size that closes fits your dest, as the edges of the mat, if cut, could present a hazard.

Yes, just get a metal cutting blade. Make sure you wear your safety goggles.

I wouldn't think that would be safe. I used a double bladed electric carving knife like you'd carve a turkey with. Worked great!

You can cut it with scissors or a box cutter - most any sharp blade will cut it - don't need anything hot in my opinion

I used a very sharp pocket knife , I also used a box cutter with a plain razor blade and they both worked well !! Hope this helps
