Have you seen the Salad Choppers by Silvermark at Kitchen Co.?

[kaseydee]

I saw these at the Kitchen Co. store & was shocked. Once it wore off I took a flyer about them. On their website they have a video that shows how they work. I thought this was interesting so I wanted to let ya'll know. I like knowing who makes different things plus knowing about this won't allow anyone to surprise me at a show that they saw an item "just like ours" at another store. Their website is http://www.silvermk.com

I actually have a pair that I bought in BB&B back in 05. I emailed HO & told them about it, but never heard back. When we came out with ours I checked both & they are identical, except for our logo where theirs is. Also the red thingie on theirs loosens up just like ours. BUT I cannot send them back BECAUSE they don't have a lifetime warranty!!!

I have never heard of Silvermark. Interesting.

Wish that we could get ours in the green. Very cool! And a very cool website... someone should tell HO to check it out and maybe steal some of their ideas.... oops, did I say that out loud...:blushing:

Even the patent #s are both 6453560 except ours has 07F underneath the #s...

One of my hosts bought a pair that was almost exactly like ours on QVC.

Have you checked out the recipes on that website... can we use those for our shows? Here is one that sounds awesome (especially for spring and summer) and it could be adapted to show quite a few of our tools.... I'm loving that website!


Chunky Chicken Waldorf Salad

This recipe makes enough salad for a crowd. Serve it on thick sandwich rolls, on a bed of fresh lettuce leaves, or piled on cantaloupe halves. My children always ask for this salad and they love to help prepare it.

Yield: 6-9 cups

Ingredients
2 boneless whole chicken breasts
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1 celery rib, washed and trimmed
2 Granny Smith apples, cored and halved
1 cup shelled walnuts
1 cup dried currants

1. Arrange chicken breasts single layer in a large baking pan. Spread evenly with cream and bake in a preheated 350° F. oven for 30 minutes, or until done to your taste. Remove from oven and let cool.

2. Slice cooled chicken into thick slices and transfer to a large bowl.

3. Whisk sour cream and mayonnaise together in a small bowl and pour over chicken. Snip the celery into small pieces over the bowl using the Produce Shears.

4. Peel and core the apples and slice into the chicken mixture; add the walnuts. Toss and chop the chicken mixture until pieces are chopped into bite sized pieces and the dressing is well integrated. Stir in the currants and serve.

Note: As this is a dense salad, you may find it a little harder to chop than the leafy salads. I still think that using the Toss & Chop is much easier than cutting everything up individually. If your arm gets tired, take a little rest and resume chopping!

This is, in all likelihood, the company that manufactures our Salad Choppers. HO doesn't make any of our items - they contract with manufacturers. That's why people have found the site where replacement parts are available for the old Chillzanne platter.

 

[esavvymom]

yeah...they probably are the manufacturer of PC's version. But at least price isn't much different (they have $21.99- we have $25) and you get a Life-time guarantee with PC that is with a proven company not going anywhere any time soon.

yeah, i like the green ones as well.
