Who doesn’t love a new kitchen gadget?
Things like chopping, slicing, and dicing often turn out best when done by handy dandy little gadgets. (That is unless you’re highly skilled with a knife and have a little extra time on your hands.)
Besides, it’s great being able to core, slice, and dice all in one quick motion — especially when it always results in just the perfectly formed ring of pineapple or equally divided apple segments, right?
For example, you’ve heard of the Slap Chop, right? (Do you happen to own one?) Some swear by it, while others mock it. Just for laughs, check out this rap video remake of the Slap Chop commercial:

I’ve been involved in RVing for over 40 yrs -- including camping, building, repairing, and even selling RVs. I’ve owned, used, and repaired almost every class and style of RV ever made. I do all of my own repair work. My other interests include cooking at home, living with an aging dog, and dealing with diabetic issues.
