Hard to watch the tiny video. Cannot be made full screen. Rotating phone sideways the website header obscures the video. edit: https://youtu.be/cXjbSVt9XNM

#152Honest question, does it aerosolize pathogens that cause food-borne illness?
Great question. It does seem like you would not want to use it for raw chicken.

#153It’s a very impressive video, but the ‘world’s first’ claim is BS: https://www.369sonic.com/ultrasonic-kitchen-knife/
“Chef knife” is the important part, the one you linked is a paring knife.

Same as a really sharp knife. In general though, dull knives are more dangerous. You have to cut with more pressure and they're more likely to slip.
There must be a limit though. Surely a light saber is not more safe than a dull knife.
Imagine how dangerous a dull lightsaber would be

#155This is a QVC product with the name of a US tech city slapped on it. Signed, a guy living nearby the home of QVC in a decidedly non-tech area of the US. Ps. don’t buy future e-waste kitchen ware unless you have accessibility reasons. You can get a good-enough victoronix 8” chef knife for $65 (I paid $36 a long time ago) and a world class chef knife for less than $250.
This is nonsense and your cynicism is unwarranted. I personally know Scott. He's worked on food tech in Seattle for decades, and developed the product and fundraised for Seattle Ultrasonics locally.
Ultrasonic knives are historically large footprint devices used in commercial/industrial food prep. The innovation here is making ultrasonic hardware compact enough to fit in the knife handle.

This is a semantic argument. This product smacks of being a garbage kitchen gadget. Whether or not it's a QVC product, it certainly looks like cheap white-label alibaba junk. Just look at that handle. Did they just slap a knifeblade into an electric nosehair trimmer? I'd try one out of professional/academic curiosity (I'm a chef), but am highly skeptical of this product. It looks like absolute trash. All the people s…
They actually had an industrial design studio come up with the design. It isn’t white labeled “Alibaba junk” and to my eyes, it doesn’t resemble that either. > I've got knives that I've had for over 20 years that perform as well as this thing appears to (in the slick prepared advertisement). You have knives that can not have potatoes stick without scallops in the blade? Or that can atomize lemon drops? Or that can cu…
Why on earth would I care if a potato sticks to my blade, and why would I need to atomize lemon juice with my knife?
