i LOVE mine, great for lots of things, but watch out for your fingernails/fingertips! Got it last christmas from BBandB, and is on the top of my gadget pile. TIP: spend the $$ on the more expensive one, it's really worth it.

my #1 favorite gadget is my pampered chef food chopper, known as The Chopper. Better than the tupperware version, because it comes apart a little more for easier cleaning. I've used it for the obvious, celery, onions, black olives, eggs (when i want hunks, not slices), But also great for cutting up cooked chicken/pork chops for adding to soup or casseroles. I found that my daugther will eat more meat if it's chopped up and hidden in something than if you just plop a few hunks on her plate.

My crock pot and Foreman grill are also favorites, but I go thru phases with them. Use them a bunch, then put them away for awhile.
