My Blade Seemed Dull: Salsa Making Taking Longer Than Usual?

[nancycookspc]

I was never really sold on this BUT no I am really not liking it-

MY blade seems dull

I have been doing salsa at my shows all this month and gosh it takes FOREVER
to chop tomatoes -
seemed like it never took that long-

anyone else have this problem?

I do put my blade in the DW does that matter?

I'm having the same problem... I was making Mango Salsa at a show last night and I looked like a fool trying to sell this product to people. Then.... as I was cleaning up after I somehow threw the darn blade away with my scraps. I have another show tonight and already grocery shopped to make brushetta! Something is telling me I should not be using it!

My blade is dull... the basin is all knicked and scratched and not even white anymore... I'v e cleaned it and cleaned it and... fail. I'm kinda sad because it's a neat concept for quick recipes for shows... but if it doesn't work what's the point?

I think I am going to switch back to the salad chopper LOVE them --can sell the pants off of them if they had pants-

My MFP will work ok for onion, celery and such but the tomatoes are terrible, not like they used to be

do do the brushetta w/ the salad choppers and food chopper it will be fine

I love my MFP and use it a ton at home and at shows and don't feel like it's gotten dull (at least not to a point where it's an issue). I'm pretty amazed at how many I've sold at full price too - any time I use it at a show I sell at least 3 in addition to a host order for one as well! No complaints from any of my customers either...Sorry you're not a fan.

It may just be my blondeness... but I don't like the salad choppers either. I'm willing to give it a go... would I just chop it all in a bowl?

You should call HO and get it replaced. I love mine!

Yes your blade shouldn't seem dull. Some things take longer to chop than others but if it doesn't feel like it's working, get it replaced.You might just be able to get the blade on the replacement part form - check it out.

I'm going to order the blade from the replacement parts... however... that doens't help me for my show tonight

Is there another consultant or possibly a good customer who has one in your area?
