Borner-gain

OK, I am still gushing about gadgetry. This item I literally use EVERY day now - the Borner V-Slicer. It resembles the slicers hawked by Ronco and the like on late night (or early Sunday morning) television. I went with it due to the HUGE number of glowing reviews on Amazon. By the way, I noticed the price went up on Amazon... I got it for about $20 at thegadgetsource.com.

It slices. Not exactly dices (unless you do some pre-cutting). But creates wicked awesome julienne - perfect for my salads and I munch on them daily. Speaking of slices, if you need tomatoes sliced for any reason, this thing is the bomb. Amazing, consistent thin or thick beautiful slices - and fast! I love love love this slicer. Can you tell?

Um, caution: the blade is sharp. (Duh. But sometimes you just have to do a little digit slicing to drive the point home.) My next kitchen purchase will be a cut proof glove to save my finger when I want to julienne that last leetle bit of carrot!
