Got a new catalog from chefscatalog.com recently. In it they are selling
some new knives endorsed by Rachael Ray. In the endorsement she says:

"The Füri Rachael Ray Coppertail is the ONLY knife I've seen that features a
counter-balancing copper insert in the handle. The copper insert in the
handle can be shaved down to reduce the wieght of the handle and rebalance
the knife over time!"

This is even better than the gadgets from Ronco!

What I want to know, is Rachael a total airhead, or will she say anything
for a buck?

No worse than most, IMHO.

If your BS meter is clanging, don't buy. Other than that, caveat emptor.

In theory, every time you sharpen a knife you remove material from the
blade. After 70 years or so, you may have removed enough to throw the
balance off a bit. After 100 years, it may no longer feel comfortable in
your hand. Wow, that is some reach by an ad writer.

Yes. She's kind of cut in very short doses and a low cut blouse though.

It has nothing to do with her endorsing this product. If you watched her
show you would know why she is considered an airhead.

doing the exec producer and the sous chef?

People watch soap operas every day for years and that doesn't make any
useful sense to time either.

I saw Rachael Ray on "Late Show with David Letterman" one night and she
was actually pretty funny and not that annoying. She's less annoying on
her $40-a-day show than she is on her 30-Minute Meals show, that's for
sure. She's just WAY TOO PERKY on that show! I swear, if I hear
"E-V-O-O" one more time I'm going to scream. It would be OK, I guess,
if she just said "E-V-O-O" but she ALWAYS follows that with "extra
virgin olive oil". Hello?! What's the point in abbreviating if you are
just going to say it the long way right afterward? AAAAHHHHH!!!! I
used to watch the show fairly regularly but I just got to the point
where I couldn't stand her TV persona anymore. Instead I just check out
her recipes online every now and then.

I agree with you about Sandra Lee. Unlike Rachael Ray, who has too much
personality, Sandra Lee has little to none.
