Product Information
Full details
The Schneider Cake Knife and Server (MPN: UR.GT036) is a professional-grade culinary tool designed for busy pastry chefs, bakers, and catering staff who need to streamline their dessert service. Its dual-purpose design allows users to slice through delicate cakes, tarts, and pies with the serrated edge before using the broad, triangular blade to lift and plate each piece in one seamless motion. While it excels in high-volume environments, users should note that the 18cm blade length is optimized for standard cakes and may require multiple passes for very large, deep-dish specialty items.

FAQs
Can this be cleaned in a dishwasher?
While it is made of durable steel, we highly recommend hand washing to preserve the sharpness of the serrated edge and the integrity of the handle.
What is the total length of the tool?
The total length of the Schneider Cake Knife and Server is 291mm.
Is the blade flexible or rigid?
The blade is crafted from high-strength chrome-molybdenum steel, providing a rigid structure that is ideal for lifting heavier slices of cake and pie.
Can I use this for cutting pizza?
While it is designed for cakes and tarts, the serrated edge can cut through light crusts, but it is not a replacement for a dedicated pizza wheel or rocker.
Does the serrated side go all the way to the tip?
Yes, the serration is designed to be effective along the cutting edge to ensure you can start your cut from the very top of the dessert.
Troubleshooting
Blade feels dull when cutting soft cake.
Ensure you are using a light sawing motion rather than pressing straight down; let the serrated teeth do the work.
Food is sticking to the blade during service.
Lightly wipe the blade with a clean, damp cloth between cuts to remove residue, or perform a quick 'dip and wipe' to keep the metal surface clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this tool; it is ready for immediate use upon arrival. To ensure longevity, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. Avoid leaving the blade submerged in water for long periods to protect the handle material.
- Storage: Store in a dedicated knife block or magnetic strip. Avoid dropping the knife into a cluttered cutlery drawer where the serrated teeth could dull against other metal utensils.
- Sharpening: While chrome-molybdenum steel holds an edge well, periodic honing can keep the serrated edge performing at its best.
