Tough, crappy steaks are a real problem in the US. Enter the ultrasonic knife ("It's not just for surgery anymore!). You try to cut with it, and you do, but in the meantime it is buzzing along, tenderizing your food while you eat it, perhaps even destroying it a little.-- Vance, Feb 07 2001 Electric Knife http://www.krupsonl...om/krupsslicer.htmlYou're welcome, Egnor. Although it doesn't specifically say it vibrates at "ultrasonic" frequencies, I'm sure it does the job.
