Sharpening a Dull Pizza Cutter - Tips & Advice

[tractorgal]

My DIL has used her pizza cutter so much, it has dulled. How would you sharpen it. Any suggestions?

Don't think you can. It can be replaced if still under warranty.

There are a few ways you can try to sharpen a pizza cutter:1. Use a sharpening stone: You can purchase a sharpening stone specifically designed for kitchen knives and use it to sharpen the blade of your pizza cutter. Wet the stone with water and then hold the pizza cutter at a 20-degree angle and move it back and forth over the stone, starting at the base of the blade and moving towards the tip. Repeat this process several times until the blade is sharp.2. Use a honing steel: If you have a honing steel, you can use it to sharpen your pizza cutter. Hold the steel vertically and place the blade of the pizza cutter against it at a 20-degree angle. Move the blade back and forth along the steel, starting at the base of the blade and moving towards the tip. Repeat this process several times until the blade is sharp.3. Use a sharpening tool: There are also sharpening tools specifically designed for pizza cutters. These tools have a small slot where you can insert the blade of the pizza cutter and sharpen it by pulling it through the slot a few times.4. Use aluminum foil: This method is not as effective as the others, but it can work in a pinch. Fold a sheet of aluminum foil several times to create a thick, sturdy sheet. Then, hold the pizza cutter at a 20-degree angle and run the blade back and forth over the foil several times. This will help to hone the blade and make it sharper.Remember to always use caution when sharpening any kitchen tool, and be sure to wash and dry the pizza cutter after sharpening it before using it again.
