ok, it may not be new, but it has been sitting in my drawer yelling at me "USE ME! USE ME!" every time i saw it.... so, i'm practiving my my demos fo next weekend, one of which is the Choc. Velvet Cake With Strawberries. i get to the strawberries, and i mention to my imaginary audience that we could use our wonderful forged cutlry to do this job {insert some stuff about the forged cultery and the hold and slice}, but today i'm going to show them another use for the egg slicer plus. i knew i could use it for this i just don't go out of my way to buy strawberries all the time. i think i will start to because i cut through them in about 2 min. so any one who loves fresh strawberries, i think you need to own the core & more and the egg slicer plus! just with those 2 tools i'll be having one of my favorite snacks alot more often!
