Great idea for small meals, cheap blade though.
So the first few times i used this I couldn't get it to cut clean and started to think it was more of a gimmick than a real tool.
However there's a trick. They try to explain it in the instructions but it's kind of misleading.
You need to do a quick snip, not just fast at the end but a quick snipping movement through the whole thing.
Once you've got that figured out most things will cut clean and quick.
I just cut 6 baked chicken breasts into slices for chicken wraps and a bunch of onion slices with it.
I've also sliced up tomatoes, though they were the firm big boy style. Again, the trick was a quick snip rather than a slow deliberate slice.
It's easy to clean. I've only hand washed it so i can't say how well it holds up in the dishwasher but it does wipe down quick with some soap and water.
It's also very easy to use but I'd keep in mind that it's going to require at least a little grip strength, it's not like a knife where you can press your weight into it.
If I'm being completely honest I still feel like I can work faster with a knife and cutting board but I have less mess with this little guy and clean up is quicker.
Here's the kicker
After cutting onions, tomatoes and a bunch of chicken breasts there are already visible nicks in the blade. The breasts were boneless if that's what you're wondering.
I didn't expect Damascus steel or anything but seriously after a few chicken breasts and some onions there shouldn't be anything at all.
I could even forgive it being a bit dull, inexpensive blades usually dull fast but they sharpen quicker and easier as well, it's a trade off.
But this is just kinda silly.
I'd say, as a prototype, it's ideal if you only have a few things to cut up. Meal for one or two kinda cutting.
If you are prepping a large meal or a batch of something, good ol' knife and cutting board is still gonna be the best method.
But with such a weak blade and limited use. Turns out it really is more of a gimmick than a real tool.
I will try and sharpen it up and use it till it's frustrating but I don't see it lasting long in my kitchen.
