Checked it out and Amazon suggested that customers who bought the cake slicer also bought this: [LINK] - Michael in Sarasota - 6:26pm on 06/28/13

Maybe they have an engineering interest in scatalogical objects? [NT] - MarilynFL - 7:30pm on 06/28/13

I'd be tempted except for the price. Maybe I can kludge a version myself. I have the wire cutter [LINK] - MarilynFL - 7:29pm on 06/28/13

I had one of those - it tore more than cut. I've had the best luck with a large serrated knife. [NT] - LisainLA - 8:32pm on 06/28/13

The $4.99-version on the same page looks much sturdier! [NT] - DawnNYS - 7:52pm on 06/29/13

I find things like that and use them. - Music City Missy - 11:12pm on 06/28/13

I'd say toss it. My brother sent me some for Christmas once and they were - Janet in NC - 11:37pm on 06/28/13
You will be able to tell more when you thaw it. Freezer burned meat will have a dry look to it, - KarenNoCA - 11:40pm on 06/28/13

I'm on the side of keeping it. Thaw and then check. I've had plastic wrap tear and cause - Curious1 - 2:16am on 06/29/13
If it has been kept frozen, the worst thing is it has freezer burn but it is still safe. - Music City Missy - 4:49pm on 06/29/13
I'd use it for sure. I'd just cut off the freezer burn and use in a stew like the others. - CathyZ from Kauai - 6:22pm on 06/29/13
