Opened up my Yoshi Blade…seemed to cut up an apple well enough. But then I read the care instructions, which I’ve transcribed here for your reading pleasure. Remember, this is NOT a metal blade, but a ceramic one. Still, some of these warnings are a bit extreme…I’m kind of miffed about not using it to “chop”.<\/p>\n
“The Yoshi Blade is for slicing only — not for chopping.”<\/p>\n
“Use Yoshi Blade on a plastic of wood cutting board only.”<\/p>\n
“DO NOT<\/b> use the Yoshi Blade or the side of the blade to chop food”<\/p>\n
“DO NOT<\/b> use the Yoshi Blade to cut frozen food”<\/p>\n
“DO NOT<\/b> use the Yoshi Blade to cut hard cheeses”<\/p>\n
“DO NOT<\/b> use the Yoshi Blade for carving poultry or meat with bones”<\/p>\n
“DO NOT<\/b> cut on ceramic plates, marble, stone, glass or tile”<\/p>\n
“DO NOT<\/b> bend, twist, pry or apply force on the tip or side of the blade.”<\/p>\n
“DO NOT <\/b>use Yoshi blade to smash garlic or other foods with the side of the blade”<\/p>\n
“DO NOT <\/b>place Yoshi Blade in or near open flame or heat source, as ceramic blade will get hot”<\/p>\n
“Yoshi Blade is NOT <\/b>dishwasher safe. Hand wash only in warm water with mild soap”<\/p>\n
“NEVER<\/b> let the Yoshi Blade soak in water for any period of time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
