The slap chop

[bonvivant]

Those ads make me ROFLOL every time. That guy cracks me up! I don't have the slap chop, but I have a Mezzaluna that I love. It's actually kind of therapeutic to use.

Remember to post about the Slap Chop when you get it. Looks like fun to use.

...One final observation that I made (using the device like the Slapchop) was that I had to get out a knife and cutting board ANYWAY just to get many of the vegetables prepped (cut off non-edible parts) and trimmed to fit under the round plastic "hood" that contains the cutting blades. By the time you cut them into ~2" pieces, making a few more cuts with a knife didn't take much longer.

This is what I've always thought about these things -- if you have to cut things up partway anyway, it kind of loses its value. And I'm always one for more convenience -- I buy only bagged salad greens, etc. This just seemed like more work than it really saves.

I'm a little nervous about the pre-cut, bagged stuff. I heard that the moisture in an airtight bag increases the growth of mold & bacteria.

This is my new favorite kitchen toy for chopping up salads super fast. It has a double pizza cutter type thing with a hooked handle and you run it through the bowl. I love how it chops up stuff really fast and makes the work of a salad much much faster.
