removing element from all arrays in cell array of 1-dimensional arrays

I have a cell array out = cell(n,1), and each out{j}, 1<= j <= n, is a vector of integers. These vectors have different lengths. How can I efficiently remove an integer k from all vectors containing k?

for i = 1:n
v = out{i};
out{i} = v(v ~= k);
end
I assume 1. that a smarter cellfun approach is slower and 2. that spending more time for programming a faster solution (if there is any) will not pay off, except that this function is called trillions of times.

Thanks! Your remark on cellfun turns out to be true. But in my case, where n=1000, the for loop takes also too much time. I was hoping for a 'vectorized' solution.
