Who says only professional chefs need a sous chef?  Not this one.  I tore my rotator cuff and let me tell you, slicing an onion is the most painful experience you can imagine with a torn rotator cuff - what am I supposed to do, NOT COOK - don't think so!  Seriously easy to use and super easy to clean.  Look at the attachments that come with this MUST HAVE countertop appliance.  Buy it and unburden your kitchen drawers of all those absolutely redundant tools and gadgets.
