I made meatballs this week-end… what a great tool for this!!
Chopped garlic, and parsley and dried bread like a champ… my new toy!!
I have one of the original versions of this tool I think they call it a knife.
Just f ing with you Paul. I just never see value in something I can do with my knife or other tool i already own. I think we have on of these in my home my wife bought and tossed in a drawer or cabinet. I always think it will take more time to find it then just run my knife through stuff to get the chop i need.
Love the food posts keep it up
I hate to admit it, but my wife has nearly everything that Pampered Chef sells. I find most of the tools pretty well made and they work well enough.
Mark Franks - you are to now change your avatar after that admission. You’ve been emasculated. Self-inflicted, but emasculated nonetheless.
:-p
a sharp knife works for me.
what I love about my Taketa Gyuto is I can chop onions, garlic and parsley and there isn’t any moisture on the board. it is such a clean cut…no smashing.
Heres an idea. Same movie (I think). ![[snort.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/b/bdc3944606213c4dca6c1169cf0a166c8bc4f8c9.gif "snort.gif"){kind=small}
I knew I was opening myself up to ridicule whilst typing that statement, bring it on! I’m going to go nuzzle my 240cm Togiharu Damascus Gyoto now.
Mark … You don’t have a 240-cm Gyoto. Trust me on this.
10inch chef knife
No, a 240 centimeter knife would be almost 8 feet long. Feet.
Yeah. That’s what I was getting at. That’s kinda like a javelin sorta.
I’m metrically challenged.
How is it different from this?
Branding.
Up tell last weekend I used to prep everything with a knife. I found this so easy to chop/dice 6 cloves of garlic , then the parsley. I know my wife used it to chop nuts with it and I had never thought about using it till I saw Mike Chiarello use it.
Well thought I’d pass a tip… cheers

I knew the 
was comming too!!
Hey Paul, you are not alone…
I use the Pampered Chef Food chopper when I’m making lots of stuff. It is super handy to have around the kitchen. I get a bit ticked when members of my family use it to chop just a few nuts… takes up a fair amount of dishwasher space too
There are name brand choppers like this from the likes of Kitchen-Aid available on Amazon for about half the price - or even less - of the Pampered Chef.
Paul, don’t worry, it’s a rough crowd. Sometimes border-lining snobbery.
If they knew I watched Jerseylicious AND Family Jewel’s religiously with the wife, they would rip me a new one…
Don’t be offended. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to drop a Vince Offer gag into the thread. Here’s another by the same guy who did the classic Allen Iverson “Practice” mashup.
