SC - serrated knive blades

[LrdRas@aol.com]

Adamantius commented in message about phyllo dough pastries:

> They were baked in a 375 degree F. oven, for about 15-20 minutes, or

> cutting each tart into four servings with a long serrated steak knife

Consumer's Reports did a review of kitchen knives recently. I've been
thinking of summarizing the article for this list, as we've had several 
discussions on knives previously. However, I remember only one brand
name mentioned both here and in the review and it didn't fare very well.

Anyway, one of the things they said was that after their tests they
saw very few situations where a serrated knife blade was a better choice
than a non-serrated one.
