The Self-Cleaning, Germ-Killing Knife Holder

A major concern when preparing food is the transportation of harmful germs, that can make us sick, into our food. And nearly everybody you will ever meet always has a rather nasty story of food poisoning that they can share, and nobody ever really wants to seriously think about getting their food poisoned. So, with that notion in mind I do present you with then next latest and greatest gadget that aims to prevent cross contamination in food altogether by merging innovation with technology and creating the first and only knife block that sterilizes your cutting knives and has been proven to kill nearly one hundred percent of all germs and bacteria (ok well actually, about 99.99 percent but who is counting right?)

The Germ-Killing Knife Block
This knife block has five slots which easily store the most commonly used kitchen cutting knives: chef's, serrated, boning, and pairing knives. The technology behind the workings of this knife block is rather simplistic in reality, and hospitals around the world have been utilizing this powerful technology for years to cleanse medical instruments and surgical tools after they have been used in procedures. By using a UV-C light, which is housed inside of the knife block, it is able to successfully decontaminate all of the utensils contained within. It is capable of cleaning knives as long as 8 3/4" long from top to handle. All you have to do is lightly rinse the knives and slide them back into the corresponding slots on the knife block; it does the rest. You can set it to perform timed interval cleanings or to automatically clean the knives every time that you place them back into a slot.

But wait, it gets better, kind of. The heat from the intense UV bulb that is housed inside of the knife block will actually dry the knives as well. So after you rinse them, you do not even have to dry them by hand, just slide them back into the slots. The knife block also has some extra wide slots to hold meat sheers and honing steel. And perhaps even better than that, you can easily get your paws wrapped around this sanitizing beauty only for about: $39.95.

Where can you Get this Knife Block?
I was able to find this self-sanitizing knife block at the popular online gadget store, www.hammacher.com – the direct link to the product can be found HERE. If you are as much of a gadget junkie as I am, you may want to take a few moments to look around at some of the other products that they offer at this store—they have a little bit of everything it seems.

My Opinion:
For those who constantly find themselves cooking at home, especially cooking meats and poultries, this self-sanitizing knife block is both essential for good and safe, healthy food preparation, not to mention the ease of use that it offers. Just lightly rinse those blades and slide them in and know that they are fully sanitized. It does not get any better than that, and at the price offered, it’s a fairly smoking hot deal.
