I have been going fast and furious with cooking shows lately. When I'm doing a show, I love to demo the food chopper for chopping onions. I find that everyone can relate to the terrible task...lol Now of course I always wash my tools (by hand) before I leave the show. Many times I just leave...

Anyone have any tips on cleaning the food chopper? I can never seem to get mine quite clean enough..

I was thinking of offering the local food bank to do a fundraiser for them, then I was thinking what I'd do is ask the local grocery stores if I could set up a table and try to get sales/bookings from them? I know its not a great time of year for this b/c its COLD but I can bundle up and I'm...
