5.0 out of 5 stars Great Aid in the Kitchen, June 24, 2008

(What's this?)

I was very excited to receive this bowl and couldn't wait to put it to use. The bowl is very large size, you can't really tell from the product picture. It is a good size salad bowl. The chopper looks like a double pizza cutter. It works very well. The bowl is large enough to fix a good size salad and still have enough room to work with without spilling over.

You just fill the bowl with salad ingredients. I put in a whole gallon bag of lettuce, whole boiled eggs, slices of cheese and onions. Then proceeded to roll the chopper around the bowl. Depending on how long you chop, it will chop the ingredients pretty small. I thought that it was too much. I thought it wouldn't make an appetizing salad. Boy, was I wrong. It was delicious and easy to eat. I took the leftover salad this morning and filled a pita pocket with it. Perfect. I'm going to fix my salad with this everytime.

And just a hint from me, if you don't think you like your lettuce cut up that much, just put the other ingredients in the bowl first, chop away, and then add the lettuce last and chop a few more times.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Deep Bowl Mezzaluna with Easy to Grip Blades. Go Beyond Just Salads., June 25, 2008

By

This review is from: OXO Good Grips Salad Chopper and Bowl (Kitchen)

(What's this?)

It chops, it mixes, it dices, and it's fun! For the creative cook, the mezzaluna-type Good Grips Salad Chopper by Oxo can be more than just a salad chopper.

Today I use it to mince up onions, peeled tomatoes, and mushrooms for my beef picadillo dinner. And it was so easy! Throw it all in the bowl, chop up with the rolling dual blades and it's neatly ready to go when you are. This made food prep so fast and easy to do. I chopped up several items together in about the same time I would have finished mincing up one onion.

Once you start using the OXO Salad Chopper set, you begin to realize the potential this normally unassuming kitchen tool set brings.

Pros:

1. A safer alternative to using a knife. Hands and fingers are away from the blades. Also, the blades are not that sharp, so incidental light contact with it will not draw blood.

2. OXO's chunky non-slip design of the rolling blades, which is basically a dual-blade pizza cutter, would server well for those who have hard time gripping a knife handle due to arthritis or other similar hand problems. The design allows you to handle the cutter in different positions, whichever is more comfortable for your hands. Good idea for cutting down on fatigue.

3. You can mince foods outside just salads. Be creative. Chop eggs for egg salad. Mince nuts without pulverizing them. Chop chives, cilantro, parsley, olives, mushrooms, bacon, or anything else veggie for the dinner you're cooking. Don't limit yourself for just making salads.

4. The generously sized plastic bowl is sturdy and easy to clean. After my rigorous (but not abusive) use tonight, there was barely a scratch on it. I was able to wash the bowl clean in seconds with a bit of soap and water. The outside of the bowl is an attractive smooth glossy surface. The interior is a soft matte finish.

5. It's fun to use.

Cons:

- There is no protective covering for the blades for storage. I'm going to have to be creative in storing it somewhere where it won't be in the way nor get damaged. Enough for me to deduct a star.

I'm very happy with my OXO Salad Chopper and Bowl. I foresee using it quite a bit in a lot of different ways, for salads and otherwise. I have every intention of buying extra sets for my family as Christmas gifts (it's never to early to plan). I especially will buy one for my mother-in-law who is horrible with handling knives (too scary =:0) and suffers hand problems. I know she'll love it. The price is fair too.

While initially this OXO Salad Chopper set may seem hokey, give it some thought, and you will probably find more ways to use beyond chopping salads. But if all you want to do is use it for salads, that is fine too. Either way, the OXO Good Grips Salad Chopper and Bowl set can be a valuable addition to the kitchen while also being fun to use and easy to keep.

3.0 out of 5 stars it does chop and it has a nice bowl, but worth the space?, July 16, 2008

(What's this?)

To be honest, our favorite part of this tool is the bowl itself, which is quite large, durable, and looks nice enough to bring to a casual party filled with whatever you want. As for the chopping action itself, you'll need to make up your mind on the trade-offs. It does in fact chop, as it says. But we did have a problem with bruising and wilting of leaves and still preferred the torn method of preparation. So we don't use it for chopping many greens. It does chop peppers, but I'm not sure it's a big time-saver as you still have to de-seed them beforehand anyway and it doesn't take but a few seconds to chop them with a knife. It does a nice job on other items, such as onions and nuts. Not so great, as one would expect, on softer items such as tomatoes. So you're left with a relatively limited usage, at least from our personal preferences. As mentioned, the bowl is quite big, so if you don't have the space to make it easily accessible, I'm guessing the whole thing will gather dust somewhere in the deep recesses of your storage. But if you do have the space, it's convenient enough often enough (though just barely) to warrant keeping it around. Especially for that bowl. And though neither of us have problems handling a knife, even people who prefer torn lettuce or aren't looking to save much time but who have problems with pain in their hands/joints would probably find this much easier due to its configuration than chopping the old-fashioned way. So a solid three for us, but maybe a two for you if you lack space or just use greens in your salads or a four if you have space, don't mind some bruising, and make a lot of salads with ingredients that fit the structural criteria to make this really fly--not too soft (tomatoes), not too hard (carrots) but somewhere in between (onions, cukes, nuts)
