This review is from: Matfer Jumbo 20 Liters Salad Spinner (Kitchen)
I had to drill extra drain holes in the bottom of the spinner's basket. The one drain hole with narrow plastic tubing just clogged up. But it does work well with this modification.

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... Read more

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,... Read more

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program( 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... Read more

Tear at leafy greens no more! This traditionally tedious task becomes a delight with Zyliss' Fresh Cut Salad Knife. The lightweight knife features a long, angled blade with an evenly serrated cutting edge. Place your greens on a cutting board and cut. The clean cut allows the leaves to stay green longer rather than quick-browning like torn leaves. It’s also excellent with cakes, breads and brownies without leaving a trail of crumbs. The handle is long and the curved, ergonomic shape makes cutting easy—keeping your hands comfortable and dry. Crafted of durable white plastic. Safe on coated cookware and safe to wash in the dishwasher.
Searrated plastic blade prevents lettuce from turning brown
This review is from: Zyliss Fresh Cut Salad Knife, Green (Kitchen)
This is a good, inexpensive and versatile knife that can be used as a spreader and server. I stumbled upon it when I needed an inexpensive item to meet the free shipping requirement.
It's good for cutting soft & leafy vegetables (lettuce, tomato), things that can be cut with sawing motion. It will not cut hard vegetable (carrot) that requires chopping motion.
It's particularly handy for making sandwiches. I can use it to spread the condiment, then slice the tomato or sweet pepper, and cut the sandwich in half at the end with just one knife. It's also great for cake, breads, brownies, etc.
It washes well in the dishwasher. A great buy overall!

My husband loves to eat iceberg lettuce salads. I got tired of tearing the lettuce up, so I decided to try this. Not only was the knife bigger than expected, but it's very sturdy and sharp. The grip is also very good for the average cook, but not as good as the grip on the Oxo Good Grips Lettuce Knife.

My boyfriend hates the sound of metal on metal, so when I saw that this knife is recommended for cutting cakes and brownies, it had even more appeal. It cuts lettuce like it is supposed to and so far it does seem like my lettuce hasn't been browning as quickly. It's nice using a knife that won't cut my fingers off either!
