60 second salad bowl cutter? A friend of a friend posted it on Facebook & I googled it and then saw it on Amazon. There are also demos on YouTube as to how it works. It looks pretty amazing. There's a plastic bowl that you,put all your salad stuff in whole & then a ridged top that goes over it. There are spaces between the ridges & you just slice everything up with a knife. Just wondering.

The brands don't seem to match what I saw on Facebook but the first 2 looked like the ones I saw. It wasn't the OXO. Will have to further investigate.

I'm interested, when it gets warm I eat a salad for lunch most days! Did you notice there are no reviews on them yet?

I did. When I first googled it before going to Amazon it looked like it may not be out there yet for purchase. Try googling it Linda & let me know what you think.

sullicat1 & lmenglish I just checked it out on ebay and noticed 3 people have viewed the site in the past hour....guess that means the 3 of us! I'm afraid it's the kind of gadget I would use once or twice and then it would stay inside the back of my cabinet. It ships from Hong Kong and I've had some issues with getting products from them. I actually saw a TV ad about this last week so maybe it'll show up at BBB soon so you can actually see it. I think I'll pass.

The OXO salad chopper and bowl are available at Bed Bath & Beyond and their web site has 52 reviews with a 5-star average.
I think I’ve had a chopped salad a grand total of once, and I didn’t really enjoy it. I don’t eat salads a lot, but when I do I want to be able to identify the items that are in the salad when I eat them. I suppose you can control how finely the ingredients get chopped, but I, too, feel like this would be a "use twice and store forever" item.
The other brands which use a knife through slots just look strange to me.

I feel like the chopping would be very uneven. Even if you use the slots and space the cuts consistently, the veggies would move around in there, so you would get tomatoes that are sliced at weird angles, etc. I couldn't handle that.
I would prefer to simply slice my veggies by hand. I also don't love chopped salads. When I buy bags of chopped salad, I usually combine them with additional greens.

I'm thinking Pampered Chef had something like that when I was in TX and often checking them out. I wasn't interested enough to commit.

I love chopped salads, especially when you go to those salad restaurants where you pick your ingredients and they chop it all up nice and small.
But I have a feeling, for me, that this would be another gadget that would end up unused.

Not a big fan of chopped salads myself but looking at this gadget it really didn't look like it was chopping the salad stuff. I'm the queen of decluttering & no gadgets so I probably won't buy it either. Just wondering if anyone had seen or had such a thing.

Could not believe it—a friend is in town from Chicago and we went to lunch. While driving to the restaurant she tells me about this very same product on Kickstarter and how someone turned her onto it and how she bought eight of them for friends and family. What are the chances a product like this that you've never heard of would come into your world twice in the same day!

zazzles That's an amazing coincidence! I've had things like that happen before and it feels weird, in a good way! Maybe it means you should buy one. I assume your friend likes it since she bought so many for friends. *** whistling theme music from "Twilight Zone" !! ***

Wow that is freaky weird Mike! I personally think it would be way cool, especially for fruit salads to keep the juice to a minimum so you don't have to hold it.
