Germ Eliminating Knife Block

by Arieanna on October 26th, 2008

Fancy fancy! The newest gadget to come to the kitchen is this Germ Eliminating Knife Block. It uses UV-C light to kill surface bacteria - it kills 99.99% of food bacteria and viruses from cutlery in 20 seconds. That’s hospital grade technology, that!

The bulb sanitizes knives up to 8 3/4" long from tip to bolster, with slots for 5 knives. So, that helps to avoid cross-contamination and food-borne illnesses. No salmonella on your chopped veggies, for example!

Simply rinse the knives and place them in the block; the heat from the bulb dries knives as they are sterilized. The device can be set to turn on automatically every three hours or you can set the block to sanitize knives as soon as they are inserted.
