Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've been cooking for years with but little trouble here and there. Last year I started trying to stick with fresh fruits and veggies. This was fine when I was rested and feeling inspired and chef-y. But When I was hungry or hangry or otherwise rushing - after work, in time for my intermittent fast to start, I got some of me in the mix. The last 2 injuries this year left me wrapped like my whole finger broke - those cuts on the tip are hard to keep covered and sadly cancelling my manicure for weeks. ENOUGH! There must be something to help me never cut my hand like this again. I almost bought a shield when I ran across the wonderful protection the NoCry people have developed. There's no more love hate relationship between me and my mandolin and the grater and I get so close its not even funny, with nary a scrape. I can easily use ALL the food I'm working with instead of worrying about what's going to happen to my fingers or knuckles and when. Plain old chopping is enhanced also, especially when I get in a hurry and what to hold the whole half cabbage and chop it at once and maybe slip here and there. I'm 65, and still pretty dexterous, but I'm sure these gloves can greatly extend the ability for someone less steady to continue to work with kitchen cutting tools. I have to say, I cook in fits and starts. So when I ordered these I had just finished 3 soups into cups and apple flax muffins and cornbread muffins frozen. When the gloves came, I tried them on and they seemed a tad big. See the image. NoCry inquired by email if things were OK just as I was deciding they were a bit big. I shared and they did too! They sent me another pair at no charge in the next size down which fit perfectly and is the pair I use. I am 5'10 with big hands and usually buy men's gloves so I initially got the large. Customer service is excellent and I am very pleased with these gloves and will rarely chop without them anymore.
