chopping vegetables can be a time consuming task especially when making something delicious like a soup or a salsa. I used this the other day to chop up my root veggies for a root veggie hash and it was so fast and easy. I dropped potatoes parsnips carrots and turnips and got the pieces into the sizes I wanted. It only took a couple minutes. I am very excited about using this for more meals. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
