Great idea, just make sure it's a sharp knife. Thanks for posting this. :-)

......'cept'in, now your got an extra plate to wash, which negates
the time you saved. You still may be ahead by a little, but is it
enough to give a rat's ass?

My time saver tip is, use those cheapo Ginsu/Aero/etc infomercial
serrated knives. Go through a tomato like Grant took Richmond. My
apologies to the Southern Belles of rfc. Tip o' the hat, ladies.

The serrations are small, works like magic.

Same here, I have a very fine, serrated Wusthoff knife that's as good
as I've come across for tomatoes, or anything you want very
thin/accurate slices from. It's a bit like a miniature bread knife,
only with a much finer blade.

I actually bought a tomato knife. I think it's the Khun Rikon brand. Works
great.

A simple rinse with hot water from the faucet would be enough of a "wash" and wouldn't take any time at all.

I waited to buy a Ginsu until they were down to 99 cents. It was actually a
really good knife. But sadly, I got rid of my mishmash of knives when my
dad sent me a new set in a block. But they turned out to be crap.

Many years ago my mother bought me a Ginsu knife from a TV ad. She
bought one for herself, also. I still have that knife and it's as sharp
today as it was the first day I had it. I love that knife and use it
for all kinds of things. I'd buy another if I could find them.
