Title: Oster disappointment
Review: I purchased an Oster 2803 electric knife based on the recommendations arising out of an America's Test Kitchen electric knife testing segment. I had previously owned a Cuisinart CEK-40 electric knife with the two sets of cutting blades but it was getting tired after a lot of heavy use and I thought the Oster would be the best choice to replace it. I was wrong. The Oster tended to tear rather than cut sour dough round loaves, a staple in my kitchen, and had great difficulty cutting through the bottom crust of the loaf. It was nothing special on meat and in fact I went back to using my regular cutting knives for carving meat and poultry. I bought another Cuisinart CEK-40 and discarded the Oster and have never looked back. The Cuisinart works great on meat and on bread and cuts the round sour dough loaves with ease, including the bottom crust. I would not recommend the Oster but I highly recommend the Cuisinart CEK-40.
