OMG! These are so awesome! I'm addicted, and so is my family! My kids LOVE to make salads now, and of course anything they make they eat! You can toss in half a tomato, quarter of a cuke, half a pepper, even meat and dresssing! Actually, if you chop your salad all up like that, you don't even need much dressing (great for dieting) because it makes it super moist. Just squirt a little lemon or lime juice or balsamic vinegar and a tiny bit of EVOO and you're done!
I also use mine to chop up my meat for southern bbq sandwiches. I do my meat in the crock pot all day (great for summer days at the pool), and then chop it right in the pot with the chopper! LOVE IT!!!
PLUS...make sure you tell your show guests - this one is a huge male attention grabber - it's stong and powerful. My boys literally fight over who gets to prepare the salad! Anything that encourages my husband and boys to cook has got to be a beautiful thing!
